I have nothing but superb things to say about Dar Hafsa. The household that runs it is kind, helpful, and thoroughly knowledgable about Morocco. The rooms are comfortable and clean, with weather control and hot showers. Karim, the patriarch of the household that runs Dar Hafsa, is a lot more than pleased to suggest restaurants, organize tours of Fes or its environs, and keep a conversation going in four languages at once - all whilst keeping everyone&'s glasses full of hot mint tea. There is always someone from the household ready and eager to offer advice or keep one company inside the beautiful Dar Hafsa. The spot is a five minute&'s walk from Bab Boujloud, the major gate into the medina. Once you locate your way there the first time, you&'ll realize how handy the location is in a city with over nine thousand winding streets. So in short, I thoroughly suggest Dar Hafsa to anyone looking to stay in Fes. It&'s a beautiful place, certainly a bargain for what you&'re getting, and has the nicest employees that one could hope for.

The most notable part of our stay was by far the staff. Most of our trip we stayed at hostels so we were just trying to have a couple of nice night at a riad, and Dar Hafsa exceeded these expectations. We were met at the principal gate of the medina once we arrived and led directly to the riad exactly where we were greeted with smiles and fresh mint tea, what a welcome! The employees was so helpful in giving us advice about exactly where to go and how to navigate the medina and their shops, I really think we found the most genuine, friendly, and honest people in Morocco here at Dar Hafsa! And on top of all of that, Dar Hafsa was clean, comfortable, beautifully decorated, and in a amazing location.

Tourist from Winnipeg Canada. Go jets. If you stay anywhere else in Fez you have surely made a mistake. Gracious hosts that went nicely beyond what could possibly be expected. Easy location to find once you have your bearings. Stunning and clean. I can not recommend this Dar enough. Would not stay anywhere else in Fez.

The greatest thing about this place is the staff. The brother and sister who run the place do an awesome job! They are beyond helpful Ýn terms of recommending eating places and helping you encounter the culture. They went out of their way again and again to help us and give fantastic suggestions. Like when we wanted to encounter the Hamman we were escorted there and pricing was negotiated for us. The place itself it extremely cute and clean. But the service is amazing!

They have a rooftop patio when you desire to lounge. It&'s run by a family, so there is certainly often someone there. The rooms are nice and private. The man there was SO helpful, in case you desire to buy anything in Morocco, buy in Fez and ask for his help. No lie, he saved us so much money!

The property is stunning and really relaxing. It is perfectly situated for discovering the medina. The owners take care of their guests with the greatest of hospitality and generosity. I would rate this as being the really best spot I have stayed anywhere.

This hostel is situated in a amazing portion of the Medina, close to all of the activity but secure and quiet. The staff at the hostel are incredibly warm and friendly and helpful, they gave us a lot of useful advice and amazing recommendations. The view from the roof is amazing! Breakfast. wow.
