"My only regret is that I can’t give it 6 out of 5!
To start with, even before I arrived Ayoub had made contact with me, sorted out where I needed to park and arranged to meet me. If you know anything about Fes then it’s well worth being guided in that first time!
The Riad itself is stunning, tucked away around the 7 turns that lead to it, it’s an oasis. A beautiful building with an adjoining ‘sister’ Riad that is also stunning. The staff instantly made you feel welcome and at ease. Ayoub...
"We visited in the last week of August as a family vacation (4). Riad Letchina was a beautiful experience, from the service to the food and the exquisite architecture. Totally recommend the in house cooking by Fatema, absolutely delicious. "
"Be prepared to be treated like royalty! The staff is so attentive and helpful. They were helpful arranging drivers and so accommodating to our needs.
The meals are exceptional and served in an elegant courtyard filled with spectacular architecture and marble. "
"Excellent location, just a few minutes’ walk to the old market and the university. The staff, especially Tariq, went above and beyond to ensure my comfort and provided great insights into the area and places to visit. Keep in mind that the property is located in the medina at the end of a narrow alley, offering a truly authentic Moroccan neighborhood experience. It’s about a 3-5 minute walk from where a taxi would drop you off. Definitely worth returning for the experience and exceptional...
"The Riad Jamaï is a peaceful and beautiful place to rest, disconnect and enjoy the city.

"Anwar and his staff were amazing, and would go beyond expectation, their service are amazing, very kind and friendly staff. They took care of us from the first days we arrived when taxi dropped us, till last minute before we left. Gave good advices, highly recommend staying here. "
"This is just an amazing Riad! I stayed here about 6 years ago and had such a wonderful time that I had to come back. Mr Jim and his lovely wife are such fantastic hosts and such great company. The location is perfect over looking the old city, the rooms have been updated and are now even more impressive! The food and service is top notch! We had a wonderful time and we can't wait to return! "
"What a wonderful experience staying here in such a unique place. Individually decorated rooms (Ghita room was divine) providing a tranquil haven amidst the frenzy of the medina. Friendly and welcoming staff who clearly take pride in their work too."

"The Riad is absolutely beautiful, Masha’Allah! Aesthetically stunning and filled with antiques that reflect deep pride and love for Moroccan culture. It’s one of the most tastefully decorated Riads we’ve stayed in and truly captures the charm of Morocco.
One of the main reasons for staying at a Riad is to experience Moroccan hospitality, and overall, this place delivered beautifully. The lady at check-in was very sweet and communicated well from the time we booked, but I didn’t appreciate her insistence on negating our pre-arranged tour. We had chosen a tip-based tour, and she strongly suggested using her $30 option instead.
The two gentlemen on the night shift were amazing. They offered us a plate and knife for oranges from the common area. Older gentleman (possibly owner), said “Please, this is your home,” and younger one served us Moroccan tea with a smile, free of charge. They truly reflected Moroccan warmth and kindness.
What surprised me was being charged 25 dirhams for tea the next day. I didn’t mind paying, but consistency in policies would be appreciated. There was also no iron available. Since Morocco is a Muslim country with many Muslim visitors, I was also surprised they only had one prayer mat when we requested two. Prayer mats should be readily available, as it’s a simple way to make Muslim guests feel at home.
Overall, the Riad is stunning, the atmosphere is peaceful, and the staff are kind. Just a few small improvements would make the experience perfect.

"The help we received from our host Sama was outstanding. She worked hard to meet all of our requests and needs. She did an excellent job! Hamid - our daily waiter/bellman - was always on top of things and helpful. We couldn’t have asked for more. Sama set up a day guide - Abdul - that was masterful and informative. Sama also set up a driver - Ibrahim - that was outstanding and kept us safe on a 7 hour day trip drive."
"My family’s stay at this Riad was beyond memorable.All the 4 of us loved every detail of the Riad .The staff couldn’t be more professional or nicer and to name a couple Anwar and Aya .The location was perfect allowing us to access the Old Town as well as the rest .The decoration was breathtakingly beautiful and authentic .We were upgraded to an amazing room on the roof top .Breakfast, the bar , the dining were all excellent .Would highly recommend it to everyone visiting Fez."
"We had a wonderful experience. Tariq was just incredible. He made sure that before leaving the Riyad that all our questions were addressed properly. Tariq was an absolute help during our stay. Thanks again and we will be back. "
"A beautiful Riad with incredible service. I will have to return! Perfectly located, with the best dining options and a great breakfast. The rooms are beautifully decorated, clean, and with AC (a must in the hot summer days). I spent five fantastic days. Highly recommended! "
