Didn’t stay long enough to enjoy everything as we arrived late and checked out early. Staff couldn’t have been any nicer. Mint tea immediately upon arrival and it was great! Our room was a suite and full of character. Not pristine but that is the charm of the Riad. Had dinner at a neighboring Riad and that was amazing. Our proprietor insisted on walking us there (3 women) and offered to come back to get us. We felt very safe. Breakfast was ready promptly at 7:30 as we were leaving on a desert tour promptly at 8. Sweets, breads and strong coffee was a great start to our day. Thank you for your kindness!

Worth a stay!
Fes is an experience in itself. Riad Damia was a great experience, with the riad decorated in impressive Moroccan style. We were given a free upgrade to the top-floor suite which was huge and beautiful. The only downside is the water situation. On both nights, we had to settle for barely luke-warm water, which in itself, took more than 10 minutes of letting the water run to be passable in the cold winter.

Huge huge room (we got the biggest of 8 rooms in this hotel). A bit nervous when our tax had to drop us off a block from the hotel since the alley is too narrow for cars; the single door is probably smaller than our house door, but once you step inside the hotel is quite big up high open ceiling. The decorations are spectacular. It's a bit dated but well kept and clean. I can't compliment enough about the staff. There are a couple of them working around the clock. They're very helpful and attentive to our needs. Breakfast is ok; the breads are good but no meat and we got just one egg per person. The gourmet dinner (extra $$) on rooftop is unforgettable (although it's 3 times more expensive than at the nice restaurants near Blue Gate). The hotel is about 20-min walk from Blue Gate (if you go outside and walk along the wall of the Old Town ... walking thru Old Town takes anywhere between 15-min to forever, depending on how good you're at navigating the 13,000 streets and alleys of Fes Medina LOL. We were there for 6 days and failed everytime we attempted it). Will definitely consider staying here next time we're in Fes!

The hotel is not bad for the money you spend, eventhough i believe the management should spen more on ghe maintenance of the guest rooms and toilets rather than spending on the appearance of the check in waiting area

What a beautiful riad within the walls of the Medina. We were greeted with mint tea and biscuits on our arrival. An excellent breakfast was served in the beautiful central courtyard of the riad. The riad is a 15 minute walk to the Bab boujloud (Blue Gates), and it was a bit more difficult to navigate the surrounding streets than we expected, but we figured in out in a couple days. I would recommend getting a detailed map.
