Dar Roumana, Fez

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.
