Riad Dar Dmana, Fes

Description of Riad Dar Dmana

Riad Dar Dmana is an ancient mansion family home located at the heart of the medina of Fez. It has been totally restored with passion and talent while respecting the traditional architecture and paying tribute to the specific crafts of Fez. Riyad Dar Dmana Fez is not a hotel. It is rather to be understood as a refined and elegant house. Khalid and Abdou, the two owners, as well as their caring staff, welcome you to a home atmosphere. The gurgling sound of the fountain, the authenticity of Iraqi glass, the delicate carved plaster, the colorful Zelij tiles and the old glass panels are stunning. Riad Dar Dmana Fes is your home. It is a place to relax, enjoy and meet people. All rooms and suites at Riad Dar Dmana are equipped with hot water showers, air conditioning, TV, a satellite dish and phone. A hammam (Turkish bath) is also at your disposal as well as a planted terrace where you can sit and enjoy a cup of mint tea. Typical Moroccan meals are served in the andalous patio with candlelight and two fire places. You will certainly remember Fassi cooking as a landmark in your culinary experience. Parking watched around the clock 50 m from the Riad. Free pick up from the train station. Free pick up from the airport for one week stay. You can either spend the night at the Riad or rent the whole place for family/friends gatherings, meetings, work sessions, etc… Children up to 10 years old stay free when sharing a room with paying adults.

  “ After arr offering to bring us to a restaurant and then to discover there the restaurant is just a rip-off(EXTREMELY overpriced,standard food,unfriendly service),basically a tourist trap. This is not a really nice welcome. Also i would look myself for official guide before, because the people in... more people in the Riad said that they are going to have a official guide for us , but he was not, after an hour of genuine sightseeing(without the accurate info a realGuide provides) WeWereBroughToShopsToBuyCarpets close ”

  “ Overall the accommodation is very nice however I would warn anyone staying there about the staff. The main contact is the nephew and he will try to get residents to book dodgy tours in which the guides received a large commission from buying products. The prices are overflated on EVERYTHING... more EVERYTHING that is shown on the tour. Beware of the constant scams. close ”

  “ Good location - v near Place de L'Istiqlal. Beuatiful building. Staff bit pushy and watch out for recommended restaurants etc - v v pricey!!! Also, transport from station costs 5x a normal taxi! Finally don't listen to scaremongering - you CAN navigate Fes without a guide! ”

  “ Nuestra experiencia en el Riad Dar Dmana ha sido en global excelente. El personal es muy servicial y amable y la situacion es muy buena ya que se encuentra en la medina pero cerca de una de las puertas pricipales, asi te evitas el laberinto de callejuelas en el primer contacto con la ciudad. Ha... more Ha sido una experiencia formidable y recomendamos este Riad sin duda por su servicio y su belleza! close ”

  “ I wouldn't recommend this place. The owner and his cousin are overbearing and treated us very dishonestly with a tour we organised through them. It turned out to be double the cost they told us plus the guide wasn't very good. We left half way through as were fed up of visiting shops. Bad... ”

  “ Like any place I guess make sure they dont try and take advantage and give you any discounts they mention (I had problems when apparently the discount offered for a dinner wasn't followed through.) ”

  “ staff was very fickle. i.e. your best friend when there was a lure of money to be made, and later indifferent to you when they realized you were not a cash cow. Staff organized a terrible tourguide who was threatening and very frustrating. I wanted to see the medina, not the medina shops. When we... more When we asked him to stop showing us shops he intimidated us and made a special point to tell buskers that members of our group were american. Which is not very professional, or safe. I also cancelled a second night at the riad over 24 hours before, as I planned to go to marrakech. The riad staff refused to cancell the reservation and made me pay them, regardless. They preffered cash to credit and were not at all helpful, especially with taxi's. If looking for a riad and you have been to fez before this place is not bad. But if you are new to the area or American, I reccomend a hotel. close ”
