Dar Roumana, Fez

Very pretty place. Lovely and helpful staff, good value for money

Little bit noisy the first night. On the edge of the madina

Beautiful, big and very comfortable room, nice location, super polite staff.

Nothing really

The riad is beautiful, our room was very pretty, decorated with taste and typical furniture. The terrace is also nice, we enjoyed the sun up there. The only thing we were a bit disappointed with was the food: the dinner is too pricey for what it is, and the breakfast could definitely be better for what you pay to stay at this riad.

Fantastic place to stay, supported by a team of excellent staff. Would definitely return.

The room was huge with a double shower. he furnishings were also very nice. The room looked out onto the central court, as in many Riads. The manager arranged for a guided tour of Fes, which was very good. Breakfast was very good, as was the restaurant for dinner. This is important since Fes at night can be a bit shady.

At an extra cost we arranged a transfer to the train station for our departure. The driver did not show at the specified time and there was no one at the reception at the hotel. We were lucky to make our train. The menu for dinner was limited and unchanged for the two nights we were there.

Beautiful historic romantic. Dinner not too traditional; experimental twists. Really nice breakfast. Staff fantastic. Clean. Rather quiet.

The stairway to our bathroom was steep and narrow.

Lovely big room with cute balcony. Staff were professional and kind. Fantastic location and area.

It felt a little bit dated and lacking a bit of enthusiasm. Restaurant was overpriced and overhyped. Staff were not very helpful or forthcoming with recommendations.

Beautifully decorated room, lovely terrasse, clean, quiet, lovely restaurant

There was no possibility to make tea/coffee (or any other drink) in the evenings. Also no fridge in the room, or any possibility to get a drink anywhere else in the hotel. There is no café or shop nearby to buy drinks. This may be because it was low season (we were the only guests most of our stay)

We had an incredible stay at Dar Roumana. Our room and the terrace were so nice that we had to work to make ourselves go out and explore Fez rather than simply luxuriating at the Dar. The staff also made us feel incredibly welcome, whether that was by bringing us lettuce along with our breakfast so that we could feed the tortoise or lighting a fire in the lounge when we were there working.

The restaurant served delicious evening meals. The breakfast was very good. Staff were very welcoming and helpful. The Riad is beautifully restored in traditional Moroccan style. The bed was first class.

At our age ( over 70) the flights of stairs to reach the rooms were punishing. But there is no solution to this problem as the Riad is designed around the central courtyard with steep stairs to all upper areas.

Genuine welcome hospitality and attention to detail.

Nothing

Decor; cleanliness, receptivity of the staff.

Due to an injury, a few too many steps for me!!!

Riad was very beautiful and my room too, lots of room there. And a view from the roofbalcony was exceptional. Reception was polite and formal. Breakfast was so good and served with lovely lady. Lots of deep steps there to room, to balcony even inside your room you need to take steps to go to bathroom. So cannot recommended to people with knee problems.

Amazing Riad, exclusive ambiance. Friendly staff. Excellent location in the Medina. close to a guarded parking. Excellent restaurant.

Room amenities could be improved.

The property was just BEAUTIFUL! The staff was exceptional with a lot of “old world charm”! Have dinner there at least 1 night! It was delicious. The only downside is that our room was up a steep, winding staircase. If the stairs don’t bother you, stay here!

The staff were awesome - special shout out to Mohammad and Rachid who went the extra step to ensure we had a great stay. The court yard was absolutely beautiful, our room was equally as beautiful and the roof top terrace was our favourite!

Beautiful decor, great restaurant on site and roof top vista. If you like restoration projects Dar Roumana comes with its own story book in the lobby.

Empty lot behind the Dar where dogs barked during the night. We were double booked and it took a little effort to confirm the same quality accommodation near by, but it worked out.

This is an exceptional property in Fes. It’s in a great location and has been beautifully renovated – with lots of love, care and attention to detail. All of the staff are incredibly friendly, welcoming and very professional. The quality and choice of food created in the Riad is of a very high standard and probably the best we experienced during our 2-week road trip around Morocco. We whole heartedly recommend this Riad - it ticks all the boxes!

Location and resturant

Nothing

We loved this place so much with his traditional furnishing and very friendly service. The hotel is well located and you can reach everything in the 'medina' (old city) by food. Our room was extraordinary with his bathroom in the second floor. Also the roof terrace is so delightful, you have a perfect view about the old part of the city.

Incredible, beautiful and classy. The suite we stayed in was easily one of the most stunning we’ve seen, and we’ve seen a lot. History of the riad is fascinating, as well.

It was a 10/10 place. Staff was helpful and friendly. Our Tamarind room had plenty of space, an amazing bathroom with double shower and perfect views to the Riad. The architecture and decoration is just stunning. Totally recommend Dar Roumana. Delicious breakfast served at the rooftop which gives you a great panoramic view of the Medina and the Meneries tombs. Special mention to Nesha at reception who also does Henna tattoos.

It would be good to have more food options beside the set menu, as maybe you’re not hungry but you have to order the whole 2 dishes menu but nothing bad. Food was great.

Dar Roumana is situated in a beautiful old Riad. The interior is stunning and our room was equally beautiful and well thought through. Great attention to detail with high % cotton sheets and comfy bed. Service for breakfast on the terrace was impeccable. We also had dinner here on our first night which was amazing. We later discovered that it is considered one of the best places to eat in Fes.

Our room (Argana?) was situated on the external wall and overlooked some waste ground. Not sure anything can be done about it but it was very noisy. Noisy from diners in the internal courtyard until about 11 then a procession of dogs barking, donkeys neighing, cockerels. Earplugs advised.

The rooms are authentic, stunning and comfortable. Its a great place to escape the busy Medina. Then staff is so kind and friendly and helped me book a guide among other things I needed. For me as a solo female traveler it can be hard being alone but the staff made me feel so welcomed and made it feel like home here. I loved it so much I booked two extra nights.

It’s on the outskirts of the Medina so it was a little difficult to find my way back from the Medina.

This is an excellent location on the edge of the Medina, away from the crowds and not too far from the city gates and car park. The staff were excellent; the breakfasts, taken in the main courtyard, were relaxed and enjoyable. The whole riad, particularly the tiles, woodwork and stucco has been beautifully and sensitively restored to its former glory. The roof terrace affords wonderful views across the medina. The room we stayed in was spacious, beautifully decorated and very comfortable.

Very special place, everything feels historical and perfectly put together. You see the effort and attention that goes into every detail here.

Fabulous. In a late 19th/early 20th century courtyard house with amazing tiling and stucco work. Excellent breakfast was served in the courtyard (with tortoise). Very good restaurant (licensed), deservedly popular with non-residents (we ate there twice). Lovely room, though steep stairs to the beautiful shower room. Wonderful roof terrace with superb views over Fez where the very helpful staff will serve you complementary tea and a billable drink.

Nothing could have been better but it is just a little off the beaten track so can take a litte finding even when you think you know where you are going

The staff far exceeded expectations with friendliness and helpfulness. Every tour guide, restaurant recommendation, and transport option was delivered seamlessly. Redouane was the best and ask him for Hakim for your tour guide!

I liked practically everything about this beautiful riad, from big stuff like the roof terrace to the wonderful breakfast to little details like their great taste in music. Just seeing the wood- and tilework in the courtyard is a treat. The location is perfect, too. It's easy to reach by taxi — about a 5 minute walk into the old city from the nearest dropoff — while also giving you access to several convenient routes into the centre of the medina. Spectacular views. Friendly tortoise.

I'm pretty sure this is only a problem for the room we booked (the cheapest double room), but its one window faces the waste ground between the medina and old northern wall, which happens to be the territory of a huge number of stray dogs. I grew up with dogs and love them, and these are not at all dangerous, but they are quite social and love to chat with their friends all night long. Pack earplugs!

Excellent property.. no words to descrbe the architecture ... rooms are great ... amenites are perfect ... the food is one of the best we had n morocco

everything

nothing

The property was absolutely stunning! My partner and I celebrated Valentine’s Day in the Yasmina room which will always be the most beautiful room I have ever stayed. Dinner and the service was also exceptional and would highly recommend staying here.

Outside the room was a bit loud one of the nights.

just incredible. also kindest staff

In all of our travels, this was easily the most beautiful place my partner and I have ever stayed in. I have never seen such gorgeous craftsmanship in a hotel before - Dar Roumana has managed to retain every bit of the traditional charm of the restored building (tile, woodwork, intricately carved plaster), while making sure it has every convenience one could hope for. More importantly, the staff are incredibly kind, hospitable, and accommodating. We were traveling for the first time with our baby, and everyone who worked there was so warm and sweet with him. The cooking at the restaurant and at breakfast is outstanding, with very refined takes on Moroccan dishes and flavors. The location at the edge of the medina is great, too. It was just a short walk to the most vibrant and energetic parts of the medina, while still being calm and quiet inside. I really couldn't recommend Dar Roumana more - if one of their few rooms is free during your visit to Fes, you've got to book it. Thanks again to all of the staff for a fantastic stay!

We truly loved everything!

Excellent reception upon arrival. We arrived late and they let us have dinner while they checked us in. This is a beautiful hotel with an excellent restaurant and very attentive staff. I highly recommend this hotel. Parking is outside the walls of the old city but the hotel sent someone with a cart to help us with our bags and to show us the way. We had a very large room with traditional tile throughout that overlooked the interior covered courtyard (Dar) which is where the restaurant is located. It is a quiet, very peaceful place. We loved it!

We loved it all!

fantastic room, rooftop, and attentive service

food could have been a little.more.flavorful

breakfast was not as good as our other hotels in Morocco -same offerings, bread ordinary

Beautifully restored building, we loved the room. Great location inside the medina underneath the marinid tombs. Easy 5 minute walk from the gate. Take time.to spend time on the terrace to see the sunset and hear the call to prey. The restaurant comes highly recommended. The walking food tour they arranged for us was excellent!

Nothing!

A beautiful riad, located in a quiet area of the old city. Very helpful team who sent directions, arranged to meet us at the parking and took our luggage to the riad. They arranged a guide for us and were well informed and ready to share interesting anecdotes about the city. Our room was comfortable and cool. Lots of stairs so only suitable if you are reasonably fit. A very nice breakfast.

Amazing place to stay in Fes. Beautiful building, nice and individually designed rooms that were very clean, super friendly staff. Amazing view from the roof top terrace overlooking Fes Medina.

There is nothing to be critised, I only suggest to make more use of the roof top terrace, especially at night time. E.g. by playing some music and actively serving guests with drinks and small snacks.

Gorgeous property and lovely staff.

Fantastic location, north end of the Medina. Bfast was sumptuous and included Moroccan and European selections. Dinner was fantastic, along with great selection of local wines from Meknes. Staff was super. Rooftop was magnificent, and made for a memorable visit enjoying a glass of Chardonnay.

Dogs barking in the middle of the night. Not sure what the Riad can do about it, but did keep me awake a bit.

Quiet, beautiful riad, excellent restaurant

it’s the most stunning hotel we’ve ever stayed in, really friendly welcome and v helpful staff. Our suite, Yasmina, is breathtaking. I cannot recommend this place enough, it’s amazing. Also, definitely eat here in the evening. Best meal we had in Morocco.

There was nothing we didn’t like.

Dar Roumana is exquisite. A really beautiful property in the Fez Medina, with a caring, and very friendly and attentive staff. The rooms are amazing (there are only 4 of them) with luxurious bathrooms. There are lovely seating areas, a spacious roof terrace, and an excellent restaurant (alcohol is served!). The food was excellent. In general, the staff were really wonderful and obliging, and the attention to detail, exceptional. I would recommend this highly and enthusiastically to all. Considering other "high-end" properties available, Dar Roumana easily matches (and surpasses) places that cost double what DR does,

Nothing. But there are general things a visitor should know: Dar Roumana's location is towards the outer area/part of the Medina. The plus is that this makes it quiet and serene at night; but folks should realize that you're 5-10 minute walk from the central hustle and bustle (to me this is a plus!) As with all Riads that I've stayed in, Dar Roumana's layout means that rooms come with a fair amount of stairs to be climbed. If climbing stairs is an issue, you may want to stay away from every and all Riads and lodge in a commercial property like a hotel. I visited in the height of summer. The only thing that DR lacked that would have been amazing was a small pool. But this is not something I "didn't like" merely an observation about what might have made a truly amazing stay event more so.

Breakfast easy and good

Great food, very nice déco, clean, brilliant staff and a jaw dropping view of the city form the rooftop.

nothing

Really great on all counts.

Food was the best in the Medina and the place is a gorgeously restored home with very large and well decorated rooms. The staff was so kind and attentive- even more so than La Mamounia! They even have a pet turtle that lives there :) be ware of the scams in the Medina- the hotel will help explain what to look out for to avoid getting hustled.

Amazing room, very impressive little boutique hotel with good restaurant. Breakfast was super tasty, but the best part was the little balcony in our suite, the best place for mint tea and a book!

Some of the male staff at reception were rather unfriendly and unaccommodating. The female personal, on the other hand, were outstanding and made us feel very welcomed.
