Riad Gzira Fez is a polished Fes hotel that leans on atmosphere rather than flash, with a sun terrace, a traditional Moroccan restaurant, and the kind of old-city setting that guests describe as quiet and welcoming. The property also offers free WiFi, private check-in and check-out, a 24-hour front desk, and concierge service, which helps balance the riad’s historic feel with practical support.
Rooms are simple in concept but useful in layout: double, triple, and quadruple rooms are available, all with private bathrooms. That makes the riad a sensible fit for couples, small groups, and families who want flexibility. Recent guests repeatedly mention the calm setting, cleanliness, and a beautiful building, while one reviewer called the host very helpful and another praised the welcoming, down-to-earth service.
Breakfast is included, and the on-site Restaurant Gzira adds a straightforward dining option without forcing you back into the medina for every meal. The hotel description points to a family-friendly Moroccan restaurant and an outdoor dining area, so the food setup looks geared toward relaxed, unhurried stays rather than a formal dining scene.
Facilities go beyond the basics for a property at this price point. Guests have access to air-conditioning, an outdoor fireplace, an indoor play area, and a games room, plus activities such as walking tours, cooking classes, horse riding, fishing, hiking, evening entertainment, and themed dinner nights, some of which may cost extra. For a riad, that is a fairly broad mix.
Location is one of the strongest reasons to book Riad Gzira Fez. Batha Square and Medersa Bouanania are about a 16-minute walk away, Bab Bou Jeloud Fes is 1.5 km away, and Fès–Saïs Airport is 18 km from the property. With rates from USD 31 and a guest score of 8.5 from 362 reviews, this is best for travelers who want a characterful stay in the medina with useful services and solid value.
The location scores well with two-person travelers, and the riad’s quiet atmosphere suits a low-key stay.
