Amazing! They will make you feel like royalty. The food is delicious and the staff are very helpful. We did notice two cockroaches on the last day which is why I reduced the rating to 4 stars for cleanliness but otherwise really incredible place!! Must stay. We would definitely stay there again.

Was a very nice Riad, but staff was limited in able to answer our questions. The Fez medina is one of the largest and very hard to navigate, so a little help would have been nice (as they did in Marrakesh). But there was no one really around to answer these questions. Othmane was available to call, but hard to navigate this over the phone. Also, our booking was for 4 adults and the 2 single beds are not suitable for adults. They are 2/3rds the size of a single bed and not a full length. May work for a child but definitely not for an adult. The breakfast was excellent.

Excellent welcome and staff. Breakfast was good, and assistance with luggage was excellent. The area around the property was difficult to see because the property was located on a very narrow street in the old town, and we did not have much time to investigate. Also, it's not possible to drive into the property location. You need assistance with luggage to get inside.

This was a disappointing stay and our least favorite riad during our whole 2 weeks in Morocco. The riad is very basic, the room was cramped and stifling. Basically the opposite of grand. The staff was kind, helpful and attentive, which was the saving grace. If you choose to stay here, expect a 3 star facility.

Le Grand Alkaraz was a perfect Riad for our family. The common areas were beautiful and the rooms inviting (with great AC). Breakfast was a highlight, as was the proximity to the Medina. We’d recommend without hesitation.

The Grand Alcazar was a magical place of beauty and delight. The riad itself was worthy of the great palaces that one only gets to visit nowadays: beautiful plaster, wood, paint, tiles, and metal artisanship all around. The team there is simply fantastic and made us feel like family from the moment we stepped in - thank you Omar, thank you Youssef! We enjoyed just staying in to read a book in such beauty during the warmer time of the day, or just eating something delicious from the kitchen. Have a look at the many books on Morocco - very much worthwhile. We also enjoyed the location: so easy to get to and right next to the medina. All in all, the most magical experience in Morocco or anywhere else in the world for that matter. I cannot recommend this place too much.

An Incredible Experience
I frequently stay in hotels all around the world. Le Grand Alcazar represented a new level in hospitality to me. From the moment you walk into the Riad, you understand that this is a very special place. Extremely well decorated in a sympathetic and original Moroccan style, the staff warmly welcome you. I chose a panorama room which had a small terrace overlooking the Medina of Fes. The room was beautifully appointed with cool aircon. The included breakfast is a sumptuous affair, with lots of fresh bread, pastries and a myriad of Moroccan curiosities. I would like to make a special mention for Youssef, who was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Thank you for a wonderful experience in Fes Medina.

Best Riad in Fes
The owners of the Riad told me that they try to hire people who have a good heart rather than people with experience because you can teach service but not heart. They have succeeded beyond their expectations. Ghizlane & Youssef, and the rest of the staff, provided the best service that we’ve ever had at any hotel and they made us feel like family, not customers. I can’t recommend them any higher. You will not be disappointed if you stay here.

Best Riad in Fes
We had a wonderful time at Le Grand Alcazar. The Riad and our room was absolutely beautiful. They even upgraded our room without us asking since they had an empty room. The best part was the staff - Omar, Youssef, Fatima, Ghizlane, and the rest of the staff was really amazing. They went out of their way to make sure that we felt at home here. The breakfast here was amazing as well and the views from the rooftop are absolutely beautiful. I would highly recommend staying here!

The common areas were spectacular. The rooftop balcony was pleasant with nice views over the ville nouvelle. The bedroom was nice. The craftsmanship around the tub and shower resulted in the bathroom flooding each time the shower was used. We could use towels to direct the water to a drain, but the resulting puddle was hazardous upon exiting the shower. We reported upon departure. Breakfasts were abundant and delicious.

Great location, staff and breakfast
Just like everyone else says…location is incredible, right in the middle of the action. Amazing breakfast selection in their restaurant. Tip: if you’re a light sleeper, maybe try not to get a room facing Calle Preciados, or get one higher than the second floor, it can get a bit loud from pedestrians/trucks at night

I loved my stay here! This is owned and run by two brothers and they have taken a very personal approach in running this. They really do make you feel very welcome while staying there, and the property itself is fantastic as well. I can't recommend this highly enough. The rooftop terrace is wonderful, their kitchen which prepares traditional Moroccan cuisine is top-notch, and the location is easy to find, close to the edge of the medina, but also close to the market. Cannot recommend this place highly enough.
