Al-Attarine Madrasa

Très joli Riad et très propre, le personnel est très sympathique. Notre chambre donnait sur la rue et il a été très compliqué d’arriver à dormir avec le bruit des voitures car les fenêtres ne sont pas isolées, cela a entaché notre séjour et c’est dommage car sinon tout le reste était parfait.

According to the owner this used to be the house of a prominent family of Fes. This is not very apparent from the outside, as the building does not distinguish itself from neighboring buildings, but once you enter it, a complete new world emerges. The inner court is really impressive, architecturally speaking, and is also tastefully decorated. It has a 1920s vibe. My room was a standard room and it was fairly basic, but ok. I would have expected the bathroom to be a bit more up to standards. The riad is located in the middle of the medina, so you can't reach it by cab and have to walk through narrow alleys to actually reach it. This obviously adds to the experience, but has the disadvantage that you better be back in your riad before sunset. At least, that was recommended by the hotel staff, probably because of security concerns.
