Riad Karawan impresses with clean, beautifully decorated rooms, a diverse breakfast menu, convenient location, and exceptional staff service. However, some guests noted the presence of insecticides.

A very distinctive traditional Moroccan hotel, not many people staying, very quiet. The hotel is in the old town and it is difficult to find a parking space. If you drive here, it is best to find a local to contact the hotel and then take you to the parking lot. The doorway is very small, and you can't imagine it is a hotel from the outside, but the inside of the hotel is a different world. The room is large, but very dim. Worth a few days stay!

Сделано все очень декоративно, будто живешь в музее. Но не очень удобно с практической точки зрения, некоторые бытовые моменты не продуманы в номере. В зоне ванной не очень с чистотой, плесень какая-то.
В общем размещение на любителя, чисто антураж

I visited for my 50th birthday and this venue definitely didn't disappoint. Bushra and the front desk team did an excellent job in being efficient, friendly and welcoming as you would expect from this class of establishment. The Riad, a former harem, is beautifully appointed and the rooftop terrace is stunning. The hotel put rose petals with 50 written on my bed which was a lovely touch, particularly given that our previous riad Algila had done nothing! The breakfast is truly exquisite and our rooftop suite was beautifully appointed - we felt like staying there for the whole trip! It is a real oasis from the madness of Fez. We also had a very romantic dinner, although I feel portion sizes could be slightly bigger. The hammam was also a lovely experience. Thanks very much to all the staff for a wonderful stay.

We stayed for 2 nights in the Zephyr room. I’m traveling with my brother so we needed two beds so it was perfect. Lots of space and a nice patio with a beautiful view. The Riad was just gorgeous. Very clean with nice amenities. It was a little humid so we appreciated the air conditioning. It is true like others have said that finding it is challenging. But they met us on the main street, carried our luggage and guided us to the front door. The service all the way around was exceptional. Breakfast was good and so peaceful in the beautiful courtyard. We also had dinner one night at the Riad, I admit they need to restock their wine inventory but we managed. 😉. I’m vegan and they were really great accommodating me which I never expect and always appreciate. Extremely friendly staff that made us feel very welcome. They truly made an effort to make us happy and they certainly excelled in that accomplishment. We will definitely be telling our friends traveling to Fes to stay at Riad Karawan and are confident they will be as happy with their stay as we were.

Tucked behind a beautiful door in the maze of the Andalou quarter in the Medina . A painstaking renovation of a former 17th century building . Rooms and public spaces are all carefully curated to provide an authentic and luxurious feel . Breakfast was excellent and the preordered dinner superb . But the real attraction here are the staff . Friendly , engaging , helpful and knowledgeable. They make sense of the chaotic Medina and provide an atmosphere of calm and respite . Parking , luggage , restaurant recommendations, attractions, guides nothing is too much trouble . Or guide Ahmad arranged by the hotel was amazing . Our 12,000 step Medina tour went by in a flash . His English was impeccable, his knowledge of the Medina encyclopedic . We never felt pressured to buy , but were guided to items we wanted to shop for as he supported us in choice, and the ever present negotiation . If we chose to linger over shopping, drinks or lunch he adjusted the tour in real time . A true professional. An excellent stay on all levels.

Our stay at the riad was pleasant—until we encountered an issue with the manager that left a bad impression. We had booked a walking tour of Fez online in advance with a fantastic guide we carefully chose, but upon arrival, the riad manager insisted that we cancel our booking and use one of the guides she recommended instead. At first, we thought she was just making a suggestion, but as we politely declined, she kept pushing the idea, making us feel uncomfortable. It quickly became clear that she wasn’t trying to help us but rather had a business arrangement with the guides she was promoting. When we firmly stood our ground and refused to change our plans, she became noticeably less friendly toward us. This kind of pressure was disappointing, especially in a place that is supposed to make guests feel welcome and at ease. Luckily, we stuck with our original guide, and it was the best decision we made. But for future travelers, be aware: if you book a tour independently, stand firm and don’t let anyone manipulate you into canceling. Sadly, some riads seem to prioritize their business deals over guest experience. Fez is an incredible city, but experiences like this can put a damper on your stay—so choose wisely!

We had the pleasure of staying at Karawan Riad for a couple of nights while we were in Fes. One word: beautiful. Everything was well thought out and stunning! We did a day excursion to Chefchaouen organized by the Riad and they were kind enough to organize breakfast boxes for our early drive. Nourideen, our driver, was professional, courteous and very knowledgeable about the country, making the long drive a joy. Allow for some time for the hammam which was a great way to relax after a busy day exploring. Overall 10/10 experience, and would highly recommend Karawan Riad for anyone visiting Fes.

This Riad exceeded our hopes. With only internet pictures to go by we had no idea what to expect. We were blown away by the beauty and comfort of our rooms, the wonderful staff, the amazing rooftop and calming decor. Fes is a mystical place of spirit and openness to foreigners. Karawan Riad was the sumptuous addition to this memorable experience.
