Definitely in the Medina. Breakfast and dinner available. Safe and quiet. Seriously adventurous.
The bathroom and shower were hard to negotiate. Two narrow steps up to the toilet and a narrow step outside the shower shower.

The riad is really really beautiful. And the breakfast was amazing! The owner and the staff were here to help us with every need we had at all times!
The lack of door in the bathroom is a bit weird. There's a curtain which for sure makes this a very minor thing compared to what you get

I thank all the Dar Arsama team for their warm welcome, for making me feel at home and taking such good care of me. Beautiful terrace with garden, delicious breakfast and the best dinner I've had in all of Morocco at a very good price. Everything very clean with a very personal and authentic decoration. The Riad is very quiet and it is also next to one of the main streets of the Medina, which makes visiting all the cultural sites of Fes very comfortable. If you get the chance book here at Dar Arsama.
Everything was great 👍

Wonderful food. Breakfasts we’re good and donner was outstanding, the best we had in Morocco. Nice rooftop dining area. The staff including the owner were very helpful in every way from meeting us outside the Medina and offering plenty of time to help us with our stay and information.
Our room needed more table space. Also an extra chair or two to sit. Both of these were available just outside our room in a semi-public space, so it was not a big issue.

Great communication on WhatsApp and even arranged an airport transfer for us.
The price per night was inexpensive, the breakfast included was lovely and the hospitality of the two Moroccan ladies was very friendly.
Arrived at airport and no one was waiting for us as had been agreed. Waited for 25 minutes until someone arrived
At the hotel we were taken to a different room to what we had booked as they had given our room to other guests.
The owner tried to help but could only speak via the phone as she was in Spain.
The room we were given was on the ground floor and we quickly realised it wasn’t good. The kitchen isn’t really a kitchen as it has no utensils, no cutlery, no tableware, no kettle, no microwave, no toaster, no oven, no fridge, no dishwasher, just a sink.
The shower head is only for display so the only way to use the shower is to hold it yourself, this makes showering a lot more difficult and a lot less relaxing. The shower does not drain properly so turns into a small paddling pool and as there are no windows the room smelt very damp.
Once we tried to sleep, we realised the website had lied about the soundproofing as we could hear every sound outside as if it was in the same room.

very cozy Riad, helpful host, comfortable room. the breakfast at the rooftop terrace is nourishing, the view is nice.
Surprisingly, it was super quiet although the Riad is very close to one of the “main” streets in the medina
Location - in the medina 😀 somewhere . Do get lost (and found) in this colourful maze
everything was great, thanks for the hospitality

Violeta was our host and went out of her way to be sure we were cared for. Breakfast was tailor made, with delicious array of breads, jams, yogurt, coffee, tea, eggs, etc. served on the terrace. We ordered a home cooked traditional dinner one night which was one of the best meals we had in Morocco. The sheets were soft, the towels were thick, and the bed was very comfortable. Hot water was always available. We accidentally left a personal document after we checked out and was notified by Violeta by email. She then mailed it to us on her own cost. Loved this Riad.
I liked everything, nothing to dislike.

Not one complaint !

Dar Arsama is a beautiful small riad in the heart of Fez medina. Run by a lovely couple that will make your stay a memorable experience. I definitely recommend the dinner at riad that is prepared by a local cook - a wide choice of menus with local dinners. Violeta took care of all our wishes (arranging airport transfer, guided tours, restaurant and hamam reservations). She even made a small surprise party for my birthday :)

The hostess, Violetta, is absolutely the best hotelier. This family run riad will do anything you need. We dined at the Riad one night, a dinner prepared by a sister-in-law, and it was great. She explained a lot things about Fes and arranged for a great tour guide of the medina and city. If you're looking to stay in the medina, this is the place to stay.
The Booking ad says "parking" is available but that's a bit of a stretch. There is parking, for a fee (cheap however) and it's a bit of a distance from the riad outside the medina. Violetta will arrange for someone to come get your luggage and show where the riad is. It's convenient.

Violeta and Adil are superb hosts in this lovely small riad that they restored themselves.They make you feel like part of their family. They prepare and serve delicious meals on the rooftop overlooking the medina. They helped with a great tour guide and other suggestions of things to do. They speak Spanish, English, Arabic and French. This was our second visit and we would highly recommend it!
Climbing the narrow stairs, but it was worth it!

Super recommend if you wanna explore Fes!

The hosts were very kind. The house was beautiful and comfortable. Dinner and breakfast were very nice. Our daughter loved her bed which was accessed via a ladder. I recommend hiring Violeta to give you a tour of the medina.

Very hospitable and cute property. Lovely dinner in-house by the hosts. The terrace is beautiful.
8.0
The homely feel throughout the stay is what sets this riad apart from others! All the staff and the owners as well make you feel very welcome and do everything they can to make your stay even better.
Absolute must do - Moroccan cooking class in the riad kitchen! We learned so much about the cuisine and of course getting to eat the delicious food was the cherry on top ;)
We got to know both owners there as well and learned a lot about their incredible story behind building up the hotel they have now.
Go if you have the chance!
The shower was nice and hot, with more than enough water coming out (which is an incredible feat in a medina building!), it would be even better if the showerhead could hang up.
