Riad Sabah

Can only say this hotel was good in every way

Riad Sabah is just a short distance off of a main souk so it is very conveniently located. When we first walked in the doors, we immediately felt that we walked into an oasis in the middle of all the hustle and bustle. The address on google maps is not completely accurate so you will need to be prepared to wonder a bit past the location on the map, and make sure you know what the front door looks like. The staff were extremely accommodating and friendly. We were greeted with a great breakfast every morning and they were accommodating with your scheduling needs. We both enjoyed a 30 minute hammam with 30 minute massage. It was extremely enjoyable. Make sure you are prepared to pay for this in cash as they do not accept credit card payments for the hammam. I would highly recommend this riad. I would definitely stay here again!

I had an outstanding experience at Riad Sabah. Miriam greeted me right away at the door and I was served tea in a beautifully tiled area adjacent to the courtyard pool while she got me checked in. After the stress of traveling, this was so much appreciated! I was shown my room (a solitaire), which was beautifully decorated and air conditioned. I asked if I could book an appointment in the hammam, which she set up for 4:00. I did a 30 minute scrub and a 30 minute massage for $35. The person at the hammam was highly attentive. Miriam also arranged for a walking tour of Fez ($35) for 10:00 the next morning. My tour guide took me all over city, including to see the Jewish quarter where I got to see inside the ancient synagogue (25 dirhams for the ticket), and even was showed an ancient torah. I also got a tour of a ceramic/tile artisan workshop. In the old medina I got to visit the tannery and see the inside of a shop in a dar with enormous beautiful rugs. Miriam arranged for my taxi to the airport and she even allowed for my bill to be split into part cash and part credit card so that I didn't have to change any money back into dollars. I went swimming in the pool twice (the colored lights at night are nothing short of magic!) and enjoyed breakfast poolside--the best breakfast I have had in Morocco. The Riad is located on a deadend street which means very peaceful sleeping, but it's only a five minute walk from several different entrances to the Medina. I could not recommend this experience more highly. Booking directly through the website or by calling will save you more than 50% as opposed to going through a booking website such as ***********.
