Dar El Ghalia (called Riad El Ghalia on Hostelworld) was like no place I'd stayed before, really beautiful. For a suite for two people when we booked, it was only 120$ per night. If you've never been to Morocco before, I highly recommend flying there and getting in during the day. We had a 20 hour bus-boat-bus travel from Seville,... more

This is a lovely riad, but not quite worth the rather exorbitant holiday rates...and the holiday meals are not nearly special enough to warrant the price. Additionally, the staff seem pretty clueless most of the time. If you are an adventurous, well-informed traveler, you will have to take charge of your own experiences in Fes, as the staff aren't particularly... more

This was our first experience of a riad. It was pretty and our room was pleasant, if long and narrow and very dark. The worst thing was that on one night there was no water at all in the hotel and none the next morning when we were given two large bottles of water to wash in(not quite the same... more

Dar El-Ghalia is superb. Hidden behind an unpretentious front door is a palace, with a huge courtyard where you can sit and enjoy a glass of mint tea or coffee; or wine or beer if you prefer. My room was in fact four rooms: a bed chamber; a dressing room; a sitting; a bathroom. Okay some of the tiling is... more

I stayed at this Riad while on the last leg of my Morocco tour and the riad is truly breathtaking. Tucked away in the maze like outskirts of the Fes medina, rests the Dar, an old mansion house converted into hotel. I recommend anyone visitng Morocco to stay at riads, not chain hotels. The rooms here were large, well appointed,... more

This riad was a palatial gem hidden behind a deceptively modest door. In the middle of the hectic medina the Ghalia is a tranquil oasis. Our family of 6 stayed in an enormous suite with a sitting room, 3 beautifully appointed bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. We were pressured into partaking of their Christmas meal which was a bit pricey. But... more

Dar El Ghalia was an average experience. The people are great: very helpful, knowledgeable, kind & curteous (and speak excellent English & French). They found us a guide for half a day - - Hameed - - who was excellent, friendly, and was way above steering us into shops. The location is very good, close to the Bar Rcif and... more

Un bel endroit dans Fes. un personnel sympathique. more
