They actually have a forced air conditioning/heater, so that was nice. Staff was nice. Breakfast was good, even though I didn't eat much. Area is convenient and quiet.

I spent 4 nights at Riad Ahlam from 21/3-25/3. Had a wonderful time exploring the medina with its madrasas, mausoleum, tannery, city park, and beautiful Bab Bou Jeloud. Riad Ahlam’s courtyard, where breakfast was professionally served every morning, is absolutely lovely with its tilework, fountain, and assorted decorative items. There’s also a lovely rooftop terrace. The wifi is excellent as is the hot water. Very nice welcoming tea is served upon arrival. I had a rental car and used the nearby Ain Azliten lot that charges 40 dirham for overnight parking. Kacem and his hard working hospitable staff at Riad Ahlam are going to make sure your stay is memorable and a joy.

Beautiful Riad amazing hospitality
This is a very beautiful Riad in a convenient location. It was a two minute walk from the taxi drop off to the Riad. The room was very comfortable, the breakfast was filling and good. Kacem, Omar and Fatima made sure that our stay was exceptional.

Riad vlakbij het centrum met fantastisch personeel
Deze riad ligt rustig en toch vlakbij het centrum. Heel het gebouw is proper en knap gedecoreerd. Het eten is voortreffelijk maar het grote pluspunt hier is het fantastische personeel. Van poetshulp tot manager, iedereen wil je in de watten leggen !
I traveled all over the country. Riad Ahlam it was the best accommodation. I enjoyed delicious strong mint welcome tea, excellent location, beautiful terrace with nice views, but especially very helpful staff and unforgettable breakfasts.I warmly recommend! It was nice experience to stay here.

Friendly raid made you feel at home
The owner of the raid is friendly. We were welcomed with tea during check-in, and led to our room afterwards. The room was clean and comfortable, the common area was spacious. Would recommend this place to anyone traveling to Fes.

Great location, great service and great staff!
The staff went above and beyond in helping us on several occasions, whether it was making phone calls on our behalf, or providing the directions when we need to return our rental car, or serving an early breakfast due to our early check-out for the desert trip. It was such a pleasure to stay at this hotel and get to meet its staff. Highly recommended.

When in Fes, stay here!
Honestly, there are only positives I can say about Riad Ahlam! A beautiful place with the most hospitable staff ever. As a female solo traveler, I really value a place that makes me feel so comfortable and welcomed. I knew I would be arriving late at night so I asked Kacem to arrange an airport pickup. Everything went as planned. Kacem will do anything to make his guests feel happy and very relaxed. Also, the breakfasts were extremely filling with the staff constantly bringing out more plates so keep that in mind! Definitely try everything they bring out.
If I visit Fes again (hopefully soon), there's no doubt that I would stay here again. 10/10.
Beautiful hotel, best services ever! Best breakfast and Moroccan food have ever tasted in my entire trip. Do not go any other restaurants, order directly from this hotel! The chef in this hotel is superb! Stayed at Marrakech riad as well, nothing can compare with Fes. Had to leave with the first flight in the morning, this Riad prepared me fresh coffee and breakfast at 2:30 in the middle of the night. Driver was there drove me to the airport. the location of this riad is also great, super easy to find. Will recommend this place to any of my friends!

Beautiful Riad - Great Location, Food & Service
Beautiful big room, wonderful service and the best dinners during our entire Morocco trip. This Riad is traditional in style, beautifully decorated and served by very dedicated staff. The chef (Fatiha), in particular, prepared the best food we had in Morocco and the way she presented our breakfasts and dinners was just delightful. This Riad is located about 100M outside the Medina, near Gate 14, which was great because our driver could drop us off within 2 minutes of the Riad, yet it was also easy to disappear into the Medina just a few minutes away.

Un vrai bijou!
Super riad avec un personnel exceptionnel. Ils étaient très attentionnés. Le petit déjeuner était très bon et copieux. Nous étions dans la suite Alysse qui était très confortable. L'air climatisé fonctionnait très bien (vital en plein été!) et il y avait amplement d'eau chaude avec un bon débit (ce qui n'est pas toujours le cas au Maroc)!

Amazing room and great service! Good location close to the medina but far enough away for it to be quiet. Great breakfast and nice mint tea on arrival, and rooms were very clean.

Excellent service and facilities!
Our stay was the highlight of our trip in Morocco. We visited Marrakech, Casablanca, and Fes and this was hands down our best stay during the trip. The manager was excellent and the staff was wonderful. They made sure that everything was taken cared of and they did their best to make sure our stay was wonderful. The room is clean and the shower always had hot water which helps a lot because it was cold season. Breakfast was delicious. The hotel is 5 minutes walk to the middle of the Medina of Fez where you have all the small stores and restaurants around. The manager was very nice to let us rest in the hotel lobby while waiting for our next train. Highly recommended!
Riad Ahlam is a well maintained Hotel.My stay was comfortable and relaxing. The manager Kacem was one of the finest and most helpful persons I have ever come across. He arranged for my visit tours and took personal interest in my weell being and comfort. I felt I was in a home like environment and strongly recommend it to others for stay.
