The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Delicious Moroccan Cuisine

The food served at Riad Salam Fes was truly nice. I particularly enjoyed the tagine with small meatballs and eggs, which was deliciously spicy. Breakfast selections were ample, and I appreciated the traditional Moroccan dinner we experienced—huge portions that perfectly satisfied our cravings for authentic flavors! I couldn't have asked for a better dining experience in such beautiful surroundings.

Charming Room Atmosphere

The room I stayed in at Riad Salam Fes was not only beautifully decorated but also offered unique features. I loved the lovely little balcony that overlooked the courtyard, creating a peaceful retreat after a day out. The complimentary Moroccan slippers and replenished water added a nice personal touch, making my stay feel extra special.

Inviting Rooftop Terrace

The rooftop terrace at Riad Salam Fes was a highlight for me! It provided a stunning space to unwind and reflect on my day. I enjoyed sitting there with a drink, taking in the cool evening breeze while soaking in the views. It was a perfect spot for relaxation after visiting the vibrant Medina.

Staying at this hotel was an adventure of contrasts. The rooms, inspired by Moroccan tradition, were a beautiful blend of style and dark ambiance. While the tile work and water features were amazing, the darkness added a unique touch. The hotel location was both convenient for exploring the Old City yet faced the challenge of being situated in a poor-looking area with ancient walls resembling ruins. The service, particularly from Abdelkabir and Sadik, was incredibly friendly and helpful, making our stay memorable. The dining experience met expectations, offering plenty of options, especially for vegetarians. However, the spa area left something to be desired, and adjustments were not readily made. Ultimately, the hotel provided a peaceful and quiet retreat, ideal for easy access to the historic district of Fes.

I had a wonderful time at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and classical, equipped with bottled water and welcome snacks, but lacking a desk. The antique furniture and local decorations added charm to the room. The service was exceptional, as the staff went above and beyond to assist us in every way possible. The location was convenient for exploring the medina, and the beautiful surroundings with a tinkling fountain and a small swimming pool added to the relaxing vibe. Despite a shockingly high charge for some food items, I still found the overall experience enjoyable. The dining options could use some improvement, especially for a 5-star hotel.
