Riad Jamaï

Our rooms were fantastic. Maybe a little too big for our needs but still great for our budget. We visited in December, so as expected it was a little cooler, but there were heaters in the dining area. The shower was nice and hot, and robes and towels were provided. We had our laundry done too, for a very reasonable price. Great place for a family, I would return here again, if I were in Fès.

My real trip purpose was religious more than Friends base, in order to celebrate the Prophet’s Birthday at Sidi Ahmed Tijani place. In the course of my life, I stayed at hotels ranging from 2 stars to 5 stars; moreover, I studied Hospitality Management, worked in various hotels myself, and can tell what level of service I was receiving. I found the personnel to be genuinely friendly, always ready to please, from MOHAMED to Yacine to the young lady welcoming my son and me at breakfast times, and escorting is when we leave for the Zawiya daily. The ONLY thing I complained about, and I wanted to stress, was about the poor way of communicating with me by “Fabien”. He never was able to even address me by name during many email exchanges, failed to genuinely answer my questions about telling me what the proximity the hotel was to the Zawiya by FOOT. It was a hurdle to get to taxis, were charged at Will, some other times we would walk too long, etc.

This was the second time I stayed at Riad Jamai. I have stayed at close to 30 riads across Morocco and this is one of my favorites. The staff are kind and accommodating, the rooms are comfortable, and the location is fairly close to the tanneries. The food is also amazing. Highly recommend! I will be back.

Best riad we stayed during our road trip through Morocco. The manager and staff are incredible, helpful, and hospitable. The riad itself is gorgeous, and despite that its in a less touristic neighborhood is fine they suggest a number of tours that make it easy to navigate and get around Fes. It is also walking to distance to a few key places in Fes. We ended up booking an additional night because we didn’t want to leave. For the price its a wonderful place to spend time in Fes.

Enjoyed our stay. Well located. Nice rooftop view.

Tou felt like you walked into another world when entering Jamai Riad, it was grandiose and beautiful.

This was a most unusual place to stay. Room we had was small but adequate. The dining area needs to be seen, reminded me of the Roman Empire. Fascinating. Finding it was the most difficult part. Take a Taxi. You will not find better than Khadija and Oumayma who speak perfect English and make Guests feel at home in a family sort of way. If you like different, with good service. This is for you.

The hotel manager charged me extra cost when checking out.

Good and friendly staff, good breakfast. Location was terrible, we were initially checked into a room that had no glass in the transom window which allowed noise and cold air to come in. We had to request a change, but the second room had other issues, especially the bathroom. We had arranged with the riad one day before arrival for airport transfer, but they forgot and we had to call them from the airport. They were very willing to arrange day tours for us, but did not assist us in providing city map or suggestions for places to self visit in Fes for first timers. However, paid city tours were suggested.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Good value for money.
