Dar Naima - Hostel

The location is inaccurate on booking.com. It showed me it was in the area called Batha which is considered more safe especially at night. However, when I tried to find the place on the address provided there was no Riad there, locals told me it was deep in the medina near the tannery. They were unhelpful, did not communicate or help me find the Riad. I was dragging my 20kg suitcase around for an hour and a half trying to find this suitcase until I gave up and checked into a local riad the area, who thankfully had space!

Our family room was small with no place to store anything.

We really liked the place! The communication the kindness and hospitality. They even arranged a great tour with a guide through the old Medina. There was as well a Turtle on the beautiful rooftop terrace. The bathroom could be a little bit cleaner.

Great location on the edge of the medina, so you can either head in or about a 10 minute walk head out to get a taxi elsewhere. The room was comfortable. The shower takes its time to warm up, but has been the same in other Moroccan stays. Lovely host, who does her best to help when asked. Fantastic view from the terrace. If you speak French then you’ll have a lovely time speaking to the host’s father. Watch out for the tortoise. It was eggs for breakfast every morning; okay for a short stay. There are lots of narrow stairs, so not recommended if you have mobility issues.

Ismail (manager) was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was excellent. The terrace was beautiful with good view. The rooms were comfortable. Very authentic riad stay with wonderful rooms. A lot of steps. Not very comfortable for aged people.

Very welcoming people both the manager and the staff and helpful in every way they could. A good breakfast every day till 11:00 on the roof and a friendly environment. That is not a hotel so you do not have everything in your room. It is an old house Moroccan style with short doors and narrow stairs. If you have a big suitcase it is a bit difficult though everybody helps you to make it to your room! So while you enjoy an authentic culture in architecture you have to be careful not to bump your head going out and coming in or slip on the stairs! For me it was a bit cold but I am sure in the summertime the coolness inside is great.

Dar Naima is the perfect place to stay and explore Fez. The riad is great, the breakfast amazing and the staff super welcoming! It is inside the medina but in a quiet area. And as a solo traveler I felt looked after. I truely recommend this hotel!

We loved Dar Naima, the rooms are beautiful and very clean, the terrace is beautiful with a view of the whole area and the ruins, the breakfast is very good, the staff are very receptive, they help with everything you ask for, thank you especially for the helps Driss, Wafai, Hanan and Zack. The location is good, a good place to rest and also see all the best in Fez. Nothing to complain about.
