Exceptional Hospitality from Aymane
Riad Rcif in Fez, Morocco is a true gem that I highly recommend to anyone looking for a luxurious and authentic Moroccan experience. From the moment you step through the door, you are transported to a serene oasis that is beautifully decorated with traditional Moroccan furnishings and artwork. The Riad's courtyard is especially breathtaking, with its tranquil pool and lush greenery that creates a peaceful atmosphere. One of the standout features of Riad Rcif is its excellent staff, who go above and beyond to ensure that guests have an enjoyable stay. In particular, Aymane is a member of staff who truly stands out. He is an exceptional host who greets guests with a warm smile and provides helpful recommendations on places to see and things to do in Fez. Aymane is dedicated to making guests feel comfortable and at home, and his attention to detail is evident in the small touches that he adds to each guest's experience. Overall, I highly recommend Riad Rcif to anyone visiting Fez. Its beautiful architecture, stunning decor, and exceptional staff make for an unforgettable stay. And with Aymane as a part of the team, you are sure to be well taken care of and made to feel right at home.

Unique stay in the heart of the Medina!
We had an incredible stay at Riad Rcif. Finding the Riad is a bit overwhelming at first as the Medina is chaotic and tight. Keep your head up and you’ll eventually see signs for Riad Rcif and Alif, which are sister properties. Follow these signs! Don’t let people try to guide you as they will ask for money. The signs are very clearly laid out, thank you to the hotel team! The sign “Place Rcif” take you back out of the Medina. Once you find the Riad….it’s even better than the photos, which is rare! The site is gorgeous, but the best part are the staff working there - they are so warm, helpful and kind. Hassan helped us with finding the parking lot, Ayman was always available for restaurant recommendations and the whole team (including their younger friend whose name we missed) were always smiling and making our days better, especially at breakfast! Props to the team. It’s important to manage your expectations when booking any Riad in the Medina - it’s loud, old and confusing. If you’re okay with this, you’ll have an incredible time exploring! A word of caution about the tour guide the hotel recommends - it is a commercial tour. This was interesting, as we saw leather, copper, weaving, ceramic districts etc, but may not be for everyone. The tour is 250MAD for 4 people for 3 hours, but he also gets you to pay 160MAD in advance to cover your “entrance fees”. Parking is ~10min walk, 30MAD/day. Lovely attendants and we felt totally safe leaving our car there.

Amazing hotel, only couple of flaws
Beautiful hotel, like staying in a royal palace. Staff was amazing, took care of every request. Huge rooms, hot water, comfortable bed. Our only complaints were the lighting is very dim in the rooms, and our shower had only 1/4 of a glass door so it was very difficult to not get water all over the floor. Location is well marked but still very easy to get lost in the medina of fes, be prepared and dont get hustled by locals for help finding the place, call the hotel or text on whatsapp and they will make sure you get what you need or come and meet you… Also amazing view from rooftop terrace of entire old city, and great breakfast included

This was such an authentic Riad and it was located in the medina. It is currently adding a new wing and this wing will be a great addition and will include an elevator.

Great Riad....a little hard to find though
Loved this riad, and the staff were so friendly and helpful, and went above and beyond to make our stay there good. The only drawback is the location! Its definitely hidden inside the medina through windy pathways, and our first day there was a disaster, trying to find the place with our luggage on google maps, and hauling our luggage there (think at one point we wound up accidentally going through the fish market with our luggage!). Word of advice: hire one of the porters to take you to the riad (should be between 10-30 dhs, but will be worth it until you know how to get there yourself). Also, the riad offers tour of the medina, through a guide they use, called Abdul. I don't recommend him because he overcharged us for the taxis we took (if the meter said 15dhs, he asked us to pay the taxi 30 dhs), and did something similar when we grabbed sandwiches.Perhaps he assumes that because you're a tourist, you can afford to pay extra? Wasn't impressed with this! The Riad itself though, was great, breakfast was good, and would recommend it.
