Riad l'Artiste

Good breakfast, ok location. A good size room. Nice and well preserved historic interior. Can't think of anything.

Our experience at the riad was unfortunately overshadowed by the behavior of the woman in charge, who was unprofessional, unwelcoming, and at times openly hostile. She appeared upset that we chose not to book dinner at the riad, as we had already made plans with friends during our stay in Fez. At one point, she instructed the staff not to speak to us or assist with our luggage. She withheld mention of a required cash payment until we were departing and selectively pretended not to understand English when discussing important issues—yet had no problem speaking English when we accidentally left behind a bag of purchased items. In addition, the welcome tea was not served in the traditional Moroccan way—it was brought to us already poured in glasses, not served from a kettle. We stayed for two nights and three days, and during that entire time, she never introduced herself. We also overheard her speaking disrespectfully to one of the staff members, Kartik, who was otherwise exceptionally professional and kind. I truly wish him well wherever his talents are more appreciated, as he exemplified the warmth and hospitality of Morocco. I would not recommend this riad—not because of the property itself, but entirely due to the conduct of the woman managing it.

Fantastic! The staff were extremely nice and the food was fantastic. Relaxed vibe perfect stay Bathrooms weren’t the best but we managed

It’s a true gem—quiet, beautiful, clean, and with a lovely view of the city from the terrace. Getting there by taxi was easy. We ordered dinner from the host, and Samira cooked the best tajine and couscous we had—better and more affordable than in local restaurants. Tarik was very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. We spent three nights here and enjoyed every second of it. Nothing we can think of

The location was close to a road so getting taxis was easy. It was also in a less touristy part of town near Bab Jdadi, which was perfect for us. There were a few good restaurants we really liked within a few minutes walk. The riad let us cook in their kitchen and do our laundry which was great for us for a long-term stay. Thank you for the room upgrade! We liked having keys to the riad and our room so we were free to come and go. We are not cat people so weren’t crazy about their pet cat especially while we were cooking or eating. Some of the staff changed frequently except for the manager, who did not speak English. We relied on the other English -speaking staff who left after our first week.

Good location in the medina, near the walls. Breakfast was fine, staff were friendly and helpful. Loved that we could bring our dog and they seemed delighted to have him there.

Staff were nice Rooftop deck in very poor condition

Amazing staff, she welcomed us when our flight arrived around midnight! Great breakfast and dinner and a beautiful Riad.

The location is good, really close to the medina. Everything was clean and the staff was helpful. Bonus points to Mimi, the cat that lives there. There was no ventilation system in the bathroom and no shower curtains or windows in the room so it took a long time for the bathroom floor to be dry after showers. Although this is manageable with an extra towel

Convenient location. Warm welcome. Beautiful place. Fantastic dinner.

Location was good Wasn’t clean, the breakfast was modest.

Amazing and authentic Riad, beautiful architecture. Walkable to Medina Flush button broken, staff talked in friendly way but quoted very high prices for taxi and tours

everything was good thanks for your hospitality.

Youssef is the best! This riad was our favorite accommodation across the 8 places we stayed in during our travels through Morocco. Youssef treated us like family and made sure that everything was in order for our travels through Fez and that we felt safe.
