Simply put, we have never felt more welcome in anywhere we have ever stayed. Yasmine and Alex were incredible hosts, and have a beautiful and traditional Riad, which is excellently decorated. Yasmine and Alex go above and beyond to make you feel welcome and safe in the city, and options to explore the local area. Delicious food at the riad (some of the best we ate in Morocco) and provided great suggestions for other places to eat. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Fes.

Lost in Fed
This place is beautiful. However, like all Riads I have stayed in there is no elevator. The Riad was not accessible by car and if you wish to venture out, you will need a guide. We decided to go nowhere to prevent the panic and anxiety of being lost in a foreign country with no language skills.

Absolutely an amazing property! Was in awe from the lobby, to the room (Topaze) to the rooftop and dining. This Riad did not disappoint and Yasmine/Alex and the staff- especially Sayid- were fantastic. They did everything to ensure we had a safe and enjoyable time in Fes. They met our van upon arrival , made us dinner reservations and had staff walk us to the Taxi area when we left. Could not have chosen a nicer option. Fully earned the 5star review.

Wow! This truly is a stunning place to stay. The attention to detail is amazing. Staff are attentive, helpful, kind.

Never in my life have I stayed somewhere where the staff were so genuine, caring, welcoming, and knowledgeable. No request was too difficult, and each and every staff member went above and beyond in trying to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. There are no words to capture the exquisite and charming interiors, which represent the very best of traditional Moroccan riad architecture. The food was absolutely superb and the views from the restaurant over the Fed Medina are stunning. Staying at Riad Le Calife was truly the highlight of our trip to Morocco and we cannot thank Alex and Yasmine enough for their warm hospitality. We left Fes with fond memories that will stay with us forever, and we certainly hope to return very soon!

When you enter Riad Le Calife in Fes, Morocco, you enter the tales of 'One Thousand and One Nights'. The beauty, and mystery of the place are overwhelming. Each room is taken from a fairy tale, the hosting couple who created the place are generous in their welcoming and help, the staff are warm and helpful, the restaurant to remember. We recommend it whole heartedly and cannot wait to return!!

Excellent riad!
An incredible riad - don’t hesitate in booking your stay here. Alex and jasmine are wonderful hosts who go above and beyond. It’s made my future stays in Marrakesh difficult - the standard is now so high! From the room to the rooftop terrace, everything is wonderful. Breakfast is excellent and I’d encourage anyone to have dinner there one night. Do take into consideration the riad is around 20 min walk to the main dining options. Will definitely be coming back! Thank you!

Amazing! This was a truly outstanding experience. We have travelled a lot in Morocco and around the world and this boutique Riad was definitely up there with the very best! A special ‘Thank you!!’ to Yasmine for being so helpful with offering to help sort out our car hire problem, removing the stress and taking the weight off our shoulders and thus enabling us to relax and really appreciate our wonderful stay at Le Calife. Apart from being an exquisite Riad, the staff were delightful and the attention to detail was exceptional. To top it all, a beautifully presented breakfast in sumptuous surroundings was arranged for us for a very early departure at 5am on our last morning. We simply cannot fault it!

An intimate luxury riyad in Fes
There is a zylion of ryid in Fes, and the choice was difficult. I picked road le Calife on a guess. I was so right, the place is beautiful, clean, quiet, charming, romantic. The service is implacabile. We stay in the Diamond suite, spacious, well equipped, amazing bed and bathroom. The staff is truly taking care of you. We stay first night for diner Friday is couscous, and a real excelent one. The gray win was good too. Breakfast is nice with a view from the roof top. Finally Alex the owner knows Fes by heart, and can give you all the good addresses or book a guided tour. We will be back, that's for sure. And look on the website or call Alex for a discounted rate compared to major platforms

This is, hands down, one of the coolest places I’ve ever stayed…period. The attention to detail in both the presentation and decoration of Riad Le Calife is beyond 5 star reviews. What Yasmine & Alex have created is an incredible oasis of comfort and serenity. It oozes tons of charm and sophistication at every turn. The rooftop views are incredible. The courtyard is beautiful. The bar was so cinematic that it felt like The Continental in a John Wick movie. The dining room views overlooking the Medina are stunning. The staff is amazing: Mohammed. Saida. Fatima. Said. They went above and beyond in order to create an incredibly welcoming environment from the moment we stepped out of our taxi and walked into the courtyard. They made us feel at home immediately. I can’t say enough about how absolutely wonderful our experience was staying here. It was hard to leave. Big thanks again to Yasmine and Alex!

My husband and are still raving about our time at Riad Le Calife. We don't have enough words to describe how wonderful our experience was. The guest house is beautifully decorated with little vignettes set up everywhere you look. The styling is beautiful. I kept taking pictures to show my interior designer as I knew she would love everything about it and it would just make her happy to see. The location was also perfect. We loved being in the old medina, but loved that we were tucked away from fray. Then there is the unbelievable hospitality of Alex and Yasmine. They take you in and take care of everything. Their joy of life, hosting, and sharing the love of their city is infectious. We found ourselves just wanting to be in their presence. We had them plan our various tours, and were thrilled with the results. They took care of everything. They have trained their staff to take care of every detail and anticipate your every need. The food is also amazing. We ate so well. When the end of our time in Fes came we weren't ready to leave. We will definitely be back and can't recommend it highly enough
