Riad très bien rénové et aménagé avec tout le confort, très bien placé proche de la place R'Cif. Avec un accès dans le dédale de la médina qui vous met immédiatement dans l'ambiance ! Vous êtes pris en charge par Amine, Amira et Fatima pour que votre séjour se déroule parfaitement. Les petits déjeuners sur la terrasse sont un vrai régal. Et nous vous conseillons les repas sur place, meilleurs que ceux du meilleur restaurant de Fes (n°1 chez Tripadvisor) et pour moitié moins cher. Et ne ratez pas l'excursion à Chefchaouen, un peu loin mais qui vaut vraiment le détour pour ses ruelles dans toutes les nuances de bleu.

Contact the owner of the riad when you're on your way. We didn't, and we regret it. Don't let locals help you find it even if "the gate is closed." Every prayer hour, the gates of the city will close and make it less convenient to get to the riad, but it's still only a 4 minute walk from the outside of the medina. You don't need help from the locals to do it. We were led far, far out of the way so they could claim that the trip was hard and worth 350 riad. We traced the path later to confirm. For the riad itself, our host was very sweet, but her English was limited. The building was in a nice location, otherwise, and had a lovely garden on top. We had tea and biscuits while we filled out forms, and our hostess offered to help us find dinner and things to do. We accepted her offer for dinner, and she arranged for someone to take us to a nearby riad that served dinner at a good price. Note that it's enough food for two to split! When we returned, there was an opened (but recorked) bottle of red wine made in Morocco waiting for us. We weren't charged for it at checkout, and it tasted quite nice! The bottle said that it had won an international award in 1983. The bed was firm, as all of our beds in Morocco were. The view from our window was very nice, and the room had plenty of space. It was quiet at night, with only a few disturbances (a cat fight, some kids playing). We had to be gone early in the morning, but breakfast was waiting for us downstairs. It wasn't as nice as our other breakfasts in Moroccan riads, but it was still quite good. Local breads, an assortment of jams, very good orange juice, tea, honey, and cream cheese were spread out at the greeting table with the curtain drawn for privacy. Overall, it was excellent for how inexpensive it was.

Il Marocco è bello ma quello che me lo ha fatto ulteriormente apprezzare, durante la mia ultima vacanza, è stato questo Riad. Posizione ottima a ridosso di Bab Rcif ed a bus e taxi, nei paraggi di un suk, Dar Essoaoude si configura come una struttura raccolta con poche stanze, grandi e comode e servite, e dotata di patio (con piscina) e terrazza (sulla quale poter anche consumare i propri pasti). La colazione, ottima ed abbondante, ci ha spinto a provare anche la cucina (su richiesta) del Riad che si è dimostrata assolutamente all’altezza delle aspettative. Dar Essoaoude è anche merito della sua responsabile, Fatima, donna di carattere e disponibile e gentile e sempre attenta alle esigenze dei presenti. Fatima sarà a vostra disposizione anche per organizzare delle escursioni (a buoni prezzi). Questo luogo ve lo consiglio, sinceramente.

La migliore scelta che potessimo fare!La signora Fatima, straordinaria padrona di casa, ci ha accolto con grande calore. La sera della vigilia ci ha preparato un dolce speciale natalizio e ci ha fatto trovare un piccolo alberello: meravigliosa!Il riad è favoloso, camere pulite e profumatissime e un terrazzo sui tetti di fez...Soggiorno perfetto!

It is such a nice place to stay, quiet and with a beautiful terrace for morning breakfast in the sun. Perfect to get away from busy Fez after a day of exploring the town! We felt extremely welcome with Fatima! She helped us get a taxi by talking to the driver and her son picked us up at the edge of the medina as we arrived in the evening. For all your questions there's an answer, it really felt like a home. The place is easily accessible and sights are at walking distance. Taxis are near Bab R'cif which is around the corner. We were there in winter but I think in summer the small pool will be filled to cool down!

Yo que soy más bien de hotel que de Ryad, he de reconocer que hemos estado estupendamente. Opte por una Ryad porque mis compañeros de viajes eran “nuevos en Marruecos” y pensé que les gustaría más que un hotel. Yo fui el que la elegí entre las cientos que hay y me decante por esta, por su precio, ubicación y sobre todo porque al ser pequeña nos permitía ocuparla en su totalidad y puedo decir que acerté. Ubicación: En los límites de la Medina, Junta a bab Rcib, lo que te permite salir a zona de Taxi en un par de minutos. Es difícil llegar, pero llamas por telf. y te recogen en bab Rcib. Además hay maleteros que mediante un carrito y por 20 dh. te llevan las maletas a la Ryad (aconsejable). Una vez aprendido el camino, observaras que está perfectamente señalizado tanto para entrar como para salir. Preguntas a Fátima si la zona es conflictiva y te dicen que no, pero que no vuelvas tardes. ¿Que es tarde? nosotros volvíamos sobre las 22 h y sin problemas. La Ryad: 3 dormitorios, uno triple en planta baja, con doble altura (el baño en parte alta) dispone de caja fuerte, Nevera y secador de pelo. Los otros dos en planta 2ª, dando a la terraza, uno triple y otro doble (el doble no dispone de nevera). El edificio en si es un palacete. Wifi en toda la casa. Desayuno: Bien, variado y muy abundante con pequeñas variaciones de un día para otro. Comidas: Por 15€/personas tu elijes el menú. Deciros que pedimos Harira y Pastela y cenamos la 2º noche con los restos del día anterior y nos volvió a sobrar. Además es agradable cenar en “casa”, te acercas por Carrefour, te compras unas cervezas o un vino y a disfrutar de la terraza. Regencia y Servicio: Lo mejor de la casa. Fátima, está en todo, lo que necesites te lo soluciona, es la amabilidad personificada. Habla Inglés y Francés. Precio: Si sopesas, precio, atención, desayuno, ubicación…Nos pareció que el conjunto fue bastante bueno. Y sobre todo la posibilidad de ocupar, si lo deseas, la casa entera para 4 personas por poco más del precio de 2 habitaciones.

We stayed in the Riad from the 31/7 to 02/08and we really enjoyed. We had our 3 teenager children and we had so much. The Riad is very clean and beautiful. Please don't be put off with entrance, expect that in Fez but inside it very nice. When you enter the door you escape the buzz of the medina. Rooms are spacious and well decotated. Breakfast very good and special thanks to Fatima, her daughter Amira and helper Amina , they really made our stay very welcoming and enjoyable. They wont out of the way when I was sick same as our daughter. We could not ask for more. They really made us feel at home. They recommended tour guides very well done. Fatima well done and hope to see you soon. This wont be our last. I will really recommend the Riad

Al final de un pasaje inverosímil está Dar Essoaoude. Abres la puerta y pasas de la locura de la ciudad de Fez a la calma de un sitio perfecto para relajarse. El riad es acogedor, limpio, bien situado, y la gente que lo gestiona es extraordinariamente amable, servicial y atenta. Estuvimos como en casa. El desayuno completamente satisfactorio y las orientaciones que nos dio Fátima siempre fueron acertadas. Resolvió cada duda que tuvimos y nos ayudó a disfrutar más y mejor de la ciudad.

Accommodation excellent, very good condition, a little difficult to find, but contact the property and will send someone to guide you. We arrived late evening and Fatima was waiting for us with an excellent dinner, well cooked and hot towels with orange blossom water for hands. Breakfast excellent, stylishly served on the terrace. A real treat. Large room, spacious, with spotless linen. She also recommended us a guide we visited the medina, because you have no chance alone. Najid took us through some places hard to find alone. We spent evenings and mornings on the terrace which are potted orange trees. All beautifully decorated. Everything looks very good, quality stuff The only problem is the entrance to the riad, on a street that barely fit one person.

La sorpresa que nos llevamos con este Riad fue increíble. La situación del alojamiento, cerca de Bab Rcif, es inmejorable para conocer la ciudad. Las habitaciones son muy amplias, limpias, la cama es muy cómoda y el baño es amplio y limpio. Lo más agradable, sin duda, son los propietarios - en especial Fátima - quien te hace sentir como en casa desde el principio. El desayuno que te ofrecen (además de estar enmarcado en un entorno inmejorable) es pantagruélico (en el buen sentido de la palabra): abundante, completo y muy rico. Sin duda, de volver a Fez ya sé que Dar Essoaoude es el lugar donde me volveré a alojar.
