El Bsabsa Holiday Rentals

"The staff were fantastic. Anwar, Ali and the rest really went out of their way for us. The breakfast is great (you can have it on the terrace). One of the staircases is a bit steep, but take the other staircase and you'll be fine. The view from the terrace is breathtaking. Riad Braya is very accessible too - just tell your taxi to go to the Dar Batha Museum roundabout (that has Fes Heritage Boutique on it, as is fontaine batha) and follow the alleyway in which Cinema Cafe is in. Keep going straight for about 5-6 minutes and Riad Braya will be on your right (it's name plaque has a blue light). The Riad itself is stunning inside, with great facilities. I would definitely stay here again if I return to Fes. The only negative I can think is one that is probably applicable to every Riad in the medina (I didn't explore the Merinid tombs side of the medina) which is the steep incline of the roads to and from souks, and historical sites such as the Qarawiyyin mosque. It's fine when you're on the way to said site, but the way back is a challenging incline to say the least. That said, the alley ways are clean and the floor is paved, so walking (and even a pushchair) shouldn't be an issue. That said, I think Riad Braya is in a great location as there is easy access to a taxi road it's very close to Bab Bou Jeloud. There are good places to eat nearby too (such as Barbecue Alarbi Fes).

"Really great place "

"A very beautiful traditional place reflecting the rich arts of Fes. The staff is very friendly and did help us during our visit."

"Lovely riad in the heart of the Medina-family owned and operated with a wonderful staff who literally walked us all over the city. Food was excellent and the rooms were spacious and clean. Will return. "

"Riad was very quaint, staff were really good and caring and ready to help. Breakfast options were not great but it was ok for us as we are poor eaters. Parking is not available onsite had to do street parking and paid 40dhs for 2 nights. When we went to check out we were told that stay has to be paid by cash and we didn’t plan for that so had to look for local ATMs to get the money to pay. Location of property is great as we could walk everywhere. I would highly recommend this place "

"Wonderful staff including host Marcos, and Abdou, Zyiad, and Yahya. They make sure your needs are met. The riad itself is beautiful and the rooms are well appointed. Stepping inside is like entering a book. If you don't feel like adventuring for meals, the food is excellent."

"Loved the room decor and the ambience of this 14th century palace. The staff were very attentive and helpful. Truly a beautiful stay. Only con was the food options for breakfast were mediocre."

"It was a beautiful place. We had a nice cosy stay."

"Absolutely stunning riad! The staff were gracious and very helpful, I would love to come back!"
