Had a very nice stay, albeit short. The staff were extremely welcoming and made my stay very comfortable. Breakfast on the terrace overlooking Fez was great. Room was really spacious and had the best modern shower ever. Great value for money too, would definitely stay again!

Wonderful stay. The staff was very accommodating and the room was clean, beautiful and spacious. I would highly recommend staying here while in Fes. The Riad is close to the hustle and bustle but also in a quiet area. It was a wonderful experience.

Nice place and staff is very helpful. The only downside is the location, as you need to walk through the bazaar to get to it. Also bathrooms could have better lighting.

An oasis in Fes
Mohammad and his team understand hospitality! They are so welcoming, understanding, and extremely humble. Omar even went out of his way to serve us a delicious breakfast earlier than they usually do. We expected something small, but they were still able to provide a full (and delicious) meal. With a lot of our plans having us leaving early and coming back late, we were always treated with respect. They were accommodating beyond our expectation. The Riad itself is clean and well taken care of. There were a few cosmetic things we noticed in our specific room, but nothing that took away from our experience. I highly recommend booking a few nights at Riad Braya. you will not be disappointed

Highly recommend Riad Braya! It was a little tricky for me to find at first as there are many alleys to wander through but what a dream of a Riad once you enter! This place is even better than the photos and the service that Omar & Hannah provided was superb! Hannah recommended a delicious Moroccan restaurant with beautiful views of old Medina and the blue gate. I felt safe walking around solo and Omar even offered to walk me to my next excursion pick up. I’m sad I’m only staying one night, it’s so beautiful! I’ll be back, thank you Riad Braya for an amazing first Moroccan experience! Also, I was greeted with tea and they upgraded me to a suite upon arrival. This is a must stay Riad!

Great hospitality. The staff was so courteous and helpful. They literally treated us like royals. One of the staff had even walked us to our dinner reservation at a separate riad. But unfortunately was closed so they went out of their way to get us takeouts. The breakfast was spectacular.

Riad Braya......beautiful Riad in the Medina of Fe
Riad Braya was a beautiful serene place to stay at while visiting Fes. Both Simon and Mohammed were awesome....both so helpful and kind. Breakfast was delicious. The Riad is immaculate and the ambiance that they have created is outstanding. The room was so comfortable; especially after a day of walking the streets of Fes.

The lobby was a bit messy in design. It could be more simplistic and thus looking more pleasant. On another note, the trip to look at the tannery is lovely. But be careful if you shop there. We got a so-called camel belt, which turned out to be shoddy product. Rip off totally. We should have checked more carefully on spot.

We had a lovely stay at Riad Braya! The manager Mohamed Ben Abbou goes above and beyond to ensure guests have an excellent stay. Breakfast was delicious and the view from the expansive rooftop over all of Fes is not to be missed! A truly beautiful spot, close enough to a car-accessible street that it made getting in/out very easy as well. Thank you Mohamed for everything!

I stayed at this Riad for four nights, and I had a wonderful experience. My room was lovely and everything was spotless. The pillows were so comfortable it was hard to get up in the morning! The food was delicious and the view of the Medina from the rooftop terrace was stunning. But what made this stay incredible was the staff. Mohammed and Simon could not have been more lovely, so helpful and kind. Any time I needed anything they were there to help, and they were so welcoming and hospitable. The riad itself was also beautiful and in a great location. I was genuinely sad to leave, but I will definitely be back. Would absolutely stay here again!

This hotel is an old colonial home. Very nice structure that has been renovated; however, it’s for sure not a 5 star hotel. I would say 3. It doesn’t have amenities a 5 star has, for example: no restaurant, gym, pool is more of a decoration than usage, etc Service team is great, they tried to do what they could, but overall, for sure not a 5 star hotel

Friendly service in a great location
This lovely riad is in a great location in the Medina. It's close to the blue gate and so many restaurants. There was a mix up in our reservation but they gave us a lovely larger room at no additional charge. Breakfast was hearty and plentiful. What really made our stay memorable were the attendants, Simon and Mohammed, who really worked hard to help us. They made us feel so comfortable in a new environment. If you plan on taking a Medina walking tour, beware it is comprised of a little history and a lot of shopping, with lunch in a beautiful but pricey tourist restaurant ($44 dollars for 2). We should have asked for more info prior to arranging. The riad did arrange transport to Volumbilis and Chefchaouen, which felt quite safe and friendly. Would love to stay here again.

I booked this Riad knowing it would be beautiful from the photos but never imagined to be in such awe of its beauty and tranquillity upon arrival! Aside from the lovely architecture, the reason to stay here is definitely the staff who go out of their way to make you feel welcomed. We were well looked after by Simon every minute of our stay. He took us in and made us feel like we were family with his genuine conversations! The Suite was spacious, bed/pillows comfortable, breakfast spread delicious and the sunrise from the terrace exquisite. Highly recommended and will certainly be staying here again!

Amazing service. Great location.
Very pleasant riad in a good location only a few minutes from the 'Blue Gate' and close to several good restaurants. Staff wonderfully welcoming, friendly and helpful. Room was comfortable and warm during a chilly week. A bit cold in the riad courtyard, though propane heaters helped at breakfast. Very nice breakfast. Highly recommended!

Riad Braya was very welcoming and a beautiful Riad. Their staff was very accomodating. The location is excellent because it is in the medina and parking is close (3 minute walk). It took 10 minutes to walk to the Blue Gate. Our room was spacious. The only issues were the bed was too firm for our taste although similar to other Riads that we stayed in and water pressure in the shower was medium given that we were on the top floor. The view from the Terrace is amazing and not to be missed. Muhammad and Simon made fabulous recommendations for food and touring. We really enjoyed our stay there and would definitely stay there again!

This Riad is absolutely beautiful and serene. There is no elevator but if you make it up the stairs the view from the terrace is amazing. The staff are super friendly and kind. The location is fantastic, within the medina, but in a more quiet and easily accessible from outside part. I loved my stay here and highly recommend this for the traveler who wants a taste of the real Fes. Only wish I could have stayed longer!

We had a good time in Riad Braya especially the service. Mohammad and Simon are incredibly nice, and helpful. Location is good, Riad is beautiful but our room was a bit quirky. The door and wall to the bathroom was glass. Most of it was opaque but parts were not, so complete privacy from the sleep area was not possible. Also, the bathroom door did not close properly and anyone over 6’ could not stand up straight in the shower, the shower screen only extended half of the tub and the floor got very wet. Breakfast was great. Overall, we liked our stay despite the quirkiness.

Excellent stay
This Riad is beautiful and the service is excellent. The room we stayed in was very comfortable. The rooftop view is wonderful and the breakfast is very good. The location was perfect — very close walk to the medina and everything we wanted to go. The staff are also very helpful. I booked a day trip through the Riad and an airport transfer, and our driver Hamed was great. My only quibble is that the bathroom smelled musty after one of us showered. Otherwise it was excellent. I highly recommend Riad Braya.

2 star amenities & service. False 5 star rating.
This place/property is rated 5-star on Hotels.com and is far from it. The property is comparable to a 2 star motel with it's amenities, cleanliness and service. The one great thing about the property is the property manager / host, Mohammed, who's helpful, friendly and always smiling. Supposedly we got upgraded to Room #1. Which was spacious to EU standards, but lacked proper amenities and cleanliness. Shower stall is small, shower-heads not clean. One of the bathroom windows could not be closed. Booked a fully refundable rate, but 3 days before arrival the property converted our booking to non-refundable. Hotels.com customer service when called confirmed that we had until midnight to change or cancel but when they contacted the property, the property would not allow cancellation. Property indicated that this was a Hotels.com issue and Hotels.com stated they cannot cancel the booking as the property would not allow. In summary, based on the property manager, Hotels.com collects 20% fee. They did not want to give up this fee, and therefore the property will not allow cancellation. Serving the customer and honoring the cancellation policy was not important to either the property or Hotels.com. We visited a Riad close-by where one of our other friends was staying, which is rated 3star, and realized that this other property had much better amenities, was clean and had great service including restaurant, hammam. Won't recommend. Let's be honest on ratings, please!
