The riad others were nice and clean. It was in a very good location. Shout out to Mohammad for making us feel at home. The breakfast was one of the best breakfasts I’ve ever had. They make their croissants and pastries in house which tasted amazing.

Wonderful stay. The staff was very accommodating and the room was clean, beautiful and spacious. I would highly recommend staying here while in Fes. The Riad is close to the hustle and bustle but also in a quiet area. It was a wonderful experience.

The most wonderful service, and a beautiful riad, ideally located. We would have loved to stay a few days longer, we felt so comfortable there. I highly recommend this riad because it has not only the charm in its building, rooms and decor, but all the small details of Moroccan hospitality and care is in abundance. Shukran 🙏💙

Nice place and staff is very helpful. The only downside is the location, as you need to walk through the bazaar to get to it. Also bathrooms could have better lighting.

Excellent service especially with Mohammed. He personally took us to the nearby restaurant area and gave us warning to avoid falling victims to scammers. He came to pick us up from the restaurant after dinner. He always welcomed us with a big smile and quickly responded to our requests.
The Riad is beautiful with luxurious towels, slippers and bathrobes.

Enjoyable
We enjoyed our 3-night stay at Riad Braya. The riad was not very crowded while we were there, so the service was good and the staff was always available.
The main downside is that room cleaning was random from one day to another, e.g. some days we had body lotion, but the other we did not.
It was a nice oasis from the craziness of the Medina and all the scammers who try to tell you that "the roads are closed".

Riad Braya was set in the Medina, so be prepared to walk to the property as cars are not allowed.
The staff are very friendly and helpful.
The property itself was nice enough, but there was one area where I thought there was room for improvement. As is common with riads, there were not windows to bring in outside light. It would have been nice if the room had softer lights as opposed to the somewhat florescent feeling bulbs. Also, the nightstand lights were very dim, making it impossible to lie in bed and read. Fortunately our room had it's own private big stretch of balcony, so we could sit there, which was lovely.

Great service and location.
From our arrival to departure, the staff at Riad Braya provided outstanding service. We were able to check in early and welcomed with rose scented hand towels, mint tea and an assortment of delicious biscuits. Our room was large and very comfortable with lots of drawers and hanging space. Breakfast was filling with a range of options and good coffee. The rooftop terrace provided a panoramic view of Fes as well as comfortable loungers.
Some reviews have complained about the smell from the bathroom- yes there are smells but the modern doors between the bedroom and bathroom prevent it spreading plus it is not strong or constant and as the manager has commented, is to be expected in an ancient building.
We particularly appreciated having one staff member help with our luggage and taxi when we were leaving.
A huge thank you to Tariq who helped us with a tour operator, Ayoub and Mohammed for your outstanding hospitality.

The staff were fantastic. Anwar, Ali and the rest really went out of their way for us. The breakfast is great (you can have it on the terrace). One of the staircases is a bit steep, but take the other staircase and you'll be fine. The view from the terrace is breathtaking. Riad Braya is very accessible too - just tell your taxi to go to the Dar Batha Museum roundabout (that has Fes Heritage Boutique on it, as is fontaine batha) and follow the alleyway in which Cinema Cafe is in. Keep going straight for about 5-6 minutes and Riad Braya will be on your right (it's name plaque has a blue light). The Riad itself is stunning inside, with great facilities. I would definitely stay here again if I return to Fes.
The only negative I can think is one that is probably applicable to every Riad in the medina (I didn't explore the Merinid tombs side of the medina) which is the steep incline of the roads to and from souks, and historical sites such as the Qarawiyyin mosque. It's fine when you're on the way to said site, but the way back is a challenging incline to say the least. That said, the alley ways are clean and the floor is paved, so walking (and even a pushchair) shouldn't be an issue.
That said, I think Riad Braya is in a great location as there is easy access to a taxi road it's very close to Bab Bou Jeloud. There are good places to eat nearby too (such as Barbecue Alarbi Fes).
