“Excellent value, wonderful host, brilliant location”
+We were upgraded when we arrived to the deluxe suite and it was a beautiful, clean room, with a really comfortable bed. Great value for money. Bed was made fresh every day and bathroom toiletries, which were basic (shower gel and shampoo), were restocked every day too. Reda was our host and super helpful. You can ask him anything and he's incredibly generous with his time and effort. Very trustworthy riad manager. The riad is beautifully decorated - very much in keeping with the traditional, authentic style. It's like staying at a family's home and you get treated like family too. The rooms were quiet and had AC, the wifi was super strong so I could work on Zoom calls while I was there. On our last day, we had to leave very early and Reda woke up to give us a packed breakfast he had prepared the night before and said goodbye.
−The riad was in an excellent location in the centre of the old city, but the streets to get to it often smelt bad. This did not transfer at all to the experience in the riad however, which was exceptionally clean.

+Staff were so friendly and helpful! Booked a transfer from the station for us (probably cheaper with mini taxi or InDrive app) and met us to show the way. Very good English spoken and so so helpful in suggesting highlights for our short stay (even bookmarking on MAPS.ME!). Riad is just off one of the main streets so easy to find again! And easy to walk to key locations (the recommended madrasa was amazing) Beautiful inside. And a wonderful view from the roof terrace - we enjoyed a thunderstorm and rainbow over the city. We had the double room off the reception and it had the steep wooden stairs to a huge bathroom with fabulous shower and dual sinks. Breakfast was also excellent.
−Nothing!

“Enjoyable stay at a good price”
+Great staff/service, great location, very good value for money, good breakfast and average room. We had a very good time here during our 3 night stay. The service standards here is excellent. Reda was our go-to person for everything and he explained us the layout of the Medina so well that we didn't need a guide to visit all the places. We didn't meet Fatima but she was always available over WhatsApp and helped us for our travel beyond Fez.
−Our room was old and cramped. Our room was on the top floor, it was quite a hike through those narrow stairs but on the flipside, we had easy access to their rooftop terrace for nice views! Wi-fi was patchy.

+This is beautiful and atmospheric Dar. It is family owned and they make you feel so welcome. Breakfast was massive, beds are comfy, the terrace has a gorgeous view over the medina.

“Fantastic retreat within the Medina”
+A lovely stay within the Medina. Wonderfully comfortable room and even more welcoming staff team! Fantastic breakfast each morning. This house is simply a work of art and I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

+Fatima and Reda we're wonderful hosts, helping us with tours and navigation as well as seeing to all the details of our stay. The property is an absolutely stunning home first built in 1366 and then renovated nearly 600 years later in 1946. The mosaics, woodcarving and historical features of the home are a tribute to the artisianal feel that takes you back in time. Thank you for a wonderful visit!
−One of the unique features about the old cities in Morroco are the winding alleyways and dead ends. Dar Settash is in the heart of that area. Be patient while searching for the property can be a bit of a challenge to find at first. BTW, the Navi doesn't always work!

+Historical touches and big breakfast
−Check in and out with bags was a bit tricky, but this would be an issue for any Dar in the walled city that doesn’t have a hand cart.

“Beautiful clean Rad in great location with the most helpful Manager we have come across.”
+Location was great, very quiet and very close to a main street in the Madina and less than 10 minutes from the Blue Gate. The manager was fantastic and sat down and explained everything about Fes and marked our map with all the things to see and gave us some restaurant suggestions and also helped us organise a private car to drive us to Rabat. The Rad is beautiful and felt very safe and secure and our room was very clean and large and the heater worked really well in January. The breakfast was great including pancakes, croissants, jam, honey, fresh juice, tea and coffee, more than you can possibly eat. Great views from the rooftop.
−No negative comments.

“Le lieu parfait pour visiter la médina et quelle vue magnifique de la terasse”
+Tout était Parfait
−Rien Oh si deux vieilles célibataires clientes râleuses qui nous ont gâché notre petit déjeuner Mais le Riad n’y est pour rien !!
