Ryad Mabrouka, Fez

25 Derb el Miter, Rue Talaa Kebira، Aïn Zleten، Fes 30110, Morocco (show on map)

Hotel Ryad Mabrouka serves as a serene sanctuary tucked within the ancient, winding walls of Fez el Bali. This traditional guesthouse has been meticulously restored to honor authentic Arab-Andalusian architecture, featuring a stunning central courtyard adorned with intricate mosaic zellij tiles, carved cedar wood, and sculpted plasterwork.

What sets this riad apart is its lush, fragrant garden of citrus trees and roses—a rarity in the heart of the bustling medina—complemented by a refreshing outdoor swimming pool. Guests can enjoy quiet moments in the tranquil patio or head to the panoramic rooftop terrace, which provides sweeping, breathtaking views over the historic cityscape and surrounding hills.

Each of the eight suites is individually decorated, showcasing the region’s rich artisanal heritage. Whether you are relaxing in the hammam or sipping mint tea, the atmosphere is deeply rooted in traditional Moroccan hospitality, offering a peaceful counterpoint to the vibrant life found just outside the doors.

Its central location makes it an ideal base for exploring Fez’s treasures. You are just a short walk away from the iconic Blue Gate (Bab Boujloud) and the historic Bou Inania Madrasa. Other nearby highlights include the fascinating Dar Batha Museum and the legendary Chouara Tanneries.

Staying here allows you to immerse yourself in the living history of the world’s largest car-free urban zone. With its blend of heritage craftsmanship and modern comforts, the hotel provides a truly authentic and deeply restorative experience in one of Morocco’s most storied cities.

Brilliant! thank you to the whole Ryad Mabrouka team 🙏🏼

We was warmly welcomed by Mohamed with mint tea, and a local map of the Medina (of which he is very knowledgable). Throughout the whole week the entire staff team were professional, kind, helpful and friendly. The breakfast was great, more than we could eat! And if you choose to have an evening meal at the ryad - it is delicious - the cooks are fantastic. Our suite was beautiful, very spacious and had all of the facilities we needed for a comfortable stay. The ryad is maintained and decorated to a very high standard. The pool area is quite small but adequate, and it was wonderful to cool off in after exploring the local sights. And take time to sit on the terrace, the view is amazing! Ryad Mabrouka is in a quiet area within walking distance to the Medina, just perfect for our visit to Fez and Meknes.

Nothing 😃

We loved everything--the staff, the room, the location (in the medina but easy to reach by car). The food at the Ryad was also exceptional. They also arranged a wonderful tour guide for us.

Honestly, we have no complaints.

Magnificent journey in history and time.

We spent 2 nights in Fes in Riad Mabrouka. This is magnificent building which was built more than 1000 years ago. Great location - away from noisy streets, but still near all historical places, best restaurants and cafes. Great terrace, delicious breakfast and super helpful staff. Room was super clean, Riad itself was like a museum and time travelling experience. We definitely suggest this place to have great experience.

Perfect Riad for those looking for an authentic yet relaxing stay.

Overall a fantastic experience! It's within the Medina walls but not in the busy streets of the Medina so you get the best of both worlds (proximity & quiet evenings). The roof view was outstanding and we had a great time lounging and sipping tea while getting our daily dose of sunshine. The garden was a dream as well. Our concierge Mohammed was perhaps the best part of the stay, his smile and personal recommendations made our stay truly memorable.

For the price, the food was quite disappointing. Dinner was 50 USD for 2 people and was ok at best. There are many options in the area so considering the price I'd go somewhere else. The breakfast was just bread three days in a row (albeit with yogurt and fresh OJ). An egg or some olives or something would have been nice.

Wonderful hospitality in a beautiful hotel!

We loved everything about Ryad Mabrouka - the location was great, the property is beautiful, the food was lovely, but most of all Brahim and his team were wonderful hosts.

We can find no fault with the property.

We highly recommend this ryad!

We loved staying in this ultra-grand ryad in Fes. The bedrooms are spacious and luxurious. The main floor lobby area is like a palace! The garden dining area is tranquil and verdant. The rooftop terrace has a lovely view over all the medina. The location is very close to the medina’s main street. We highly recommend this ryad!

Staff was so nice - beautiful property! Quiet, great rooftop, lovely garden and pool, great breakfast. Beautifully decorated!

Far down small street - cute but difficult. Steep stairs.

Would definitely recommend a visit to Fes and if you are looking for a very nice Moroccan place to stay, this it.

Beautiful rooms, exceptional staff, and the small swimming was very refreshing.

Mini frig in the room would be nice.
