Riad Arabella is a polished Fes hotel that turns a historic building into something calm, practical, and easy to like. Guests consistently describe the atmosphere as beautiful and peaceful, and the renovation gives the place a more refined feel without losing its Moroccan character.
Room choices cover Budget Single Room, Deluxe Single Room, Deluxe Double Room with Bath, Basic Triple Room, Deluxe Triple Room, and Family Suite, so the property works for solo travelers, couples, and small groups. Reviews point to clean, comfortable rooms with elegant decor, while one guest noted a very small bathroom and limited ventilation, which is worth keeping in mind if bathroom space matters to you.
Breakfast is included and combines continental options with local specialties, which fits the riad setting well. The on-site Restaurant #1 adds a simple but useful dining option, and the hotel also serves Moroccan cuisine with halal, vegetarian, and gluten-free choices according to the property details.
Facilities go beyond the basics: guests have access to a spa and wellness centre, spa facilities, a sun terrace, and free WiFi throughout the property. Service is a standout in the reviews, with staff praised for being welcoming, helpful with late arrivals, luggage, and parking assistance, and flexible enough to move guests to a ground-floor room when needed.
Riad Arabella sits 3.4 km from the centre of Fès and is a short walk from Batha Square, with Medersa Bouanania and Bab Bou Jeloud Fes also nearby.
