Hotels near Abou Bakr Ibn Arabi Mausoleum

"Our rooms were very good, with dodgy elevators and bath towel racks as the only areas needing improvement. The experience, however, was very stressful largely due to the travel desk managed by Salma. A transfer from Fez to Chefchouen at checkout for 3 was arranged at our request and confirmed a few days in advance via email. In reality, it had been booked as a Chefchouen excursion for 5 with no details shared. When one of our group got sick the night before, hotel reception could not contact travel company to request a 60 - 90 minute delay so that the sick traveler was fit to travel. Travel company, under the impression that it was a guided tour to Chefchouen returning to Fez the same day, was ready to call it a no show after driver waited 30 minutes. It all worked out in the end, thanks to the driver. Barcelo Fes Medina needs more reliable, competent, and communicative people to avoid such a stressful experience which probably cost a lot more."

"This is a beautifully restored riad in a great location in the medina with fantastic views over the city. We stayed in the Amira Suite for two nights. It was a beautiful room although having to climb steep steps to reach the huge bathroom each time became a bit trying. There is also a private staircase up to the fantastic rooftop terrace although the terrace itself is shared by everybody. Both breakfast and dinner were absolutely lovely. There is also a fantastic restaurant called Ishq within walking distance which we couldn’t recommend highly enough. Negatives: No tea or coffee-making facilities, very low water pressure in the shower, the pool area remained mostly in the shade (in April). However, the worst was two French families staying downstairs whose children (five of them between the ages of 3 – 7) were completely out of control. There was ear-piercing screaming and squealing with one of the kids having a loud whistle on which he blew constantly. This went on all afternoon, evening and the following morning with the noise being amplified by the tiled courtyard. The parents simply sat outside by the pool chatting, drinking wine and scrolling through their mobile phones as if it had nothing to do with them. Staff were too polite or timid to address the situation. Unfortunately, this experience slightly spoiled our otherwise perfect stay. Surely staff should make sure that all guests show a bit of consideration to each other."

"The staff was more than accommodating. They communicated with us before our arrival and booked one of the best tour guides we have ever had: Momo! They were able to book a last minute hammam for us as well and made a dinner reservation on our arrival. Very attentive and quiet location."

"This Dar/Riad was probably the nicest we’ve stayed at between Essouria and Marrakesh. The breakfast was amazing and the manager was very kind and accommodating. Highly recommend. "

"Everything was excellent. Beautiful riad, incredible people, delicious breakfast. They helped us get a cab from the airport, booked us a private guide, and made sure we had everything we needed. I slept so well and was extremely comfortable. Excellent location. Highly recommended"

"If I could, I would give more than 5 stars for this breathtaking riad in the old city Fes. If you are a frequent traveler, you probably have have experienced the catfish aspect of a property posting it's unrealistically beautiful pictures on these platforms. Riad Mazar Fes is the exception. Pictures don't do justice to how beautiful this exceptionally build and meticulously maintained riad. And that is not the best thing about it. For starters, it's people tops the charts. Owner of the place Mr. Khaled treated us like family. He gave us time and attention, giving us a background of the place he build from ruins to a palace like riad. Being an arts and antiquities collector shows in his attention to detail here. He selected a wonderful staff too. Omar at the front desk couldn't be any nicer. He was willing to go above and beyond to make sure our stay was comfortable. Having stayed in a riad before, I was afraid that our room would be another old and uncomfortable space. It was surprisingly very modern and had all the comforts of a 5 star hotel. Daily clean towels and sheets, clean bathroom, fridge, TV, A/C, hairdryer, you name it, it has it. I can name a few top name hotel chains that are not as clean and comfortable as the room we had. Location is a walking distance to all attractions in Fes including the market, tanneries and historic sites, at thhe same time avoiding the noise and insccesiblity. You can park your car right in front of the property. I highly recommend it."

"Beautiful Riad, little hard to find inside the Medina. Just call them when you reach in front of the blue gate and they can direct you, google map doesn’t work inside the Medina. Breakfast was okay, I did the hammam which was good. All the staff were very welcoming. "

"The breakfast was excellent, fresh staff was friendly informed."

"Beautiful courtyard, room was a two story and very large, very comfortable, beautiful windows overlooking the courtyard. Staff were excellent, very courteous and accommodating. It was lovely to sit. By the pool and have a traditional breakfast. It was appreciated to have the fridge in the room with cold drinks upon arrival."
