This hostel is not suitable for people over 40 or families with babies.

This property has specific Terms & Conditions.Please note that by law, we do not accept Muslims who want to share bedrooms with non-Muslims out of wedlock.
Girls-only groups must be back by 11pm for your safety and no non-residents are allowed in the riad.
Please note that a tourist tax of 45 DHM per person per night is not included in our rates. Please include this in your budget calculations.
Payment is to be made on arrival in local currency or in Euros.
There is a 5% surcharge to pay your balance by credit card; the card machine will only be used if Noor or Leanora are present.
You will likely be approached by faux guides who will tell you our riad doesn't exist in order to take you to their uncle's riad where they will get a commission. Do not engage in the services of a FG as you will be taken on a money-grabbing tour of Fes with up to 50% mark-ups on anything you purchase. If you would like an Official Guide, the Riad has three who we work with who speak amazing English, Spanish and French and you will feel relaxed, hassle-free and you will have a fair tour with no hidden costs.
DirectionsShow MapHide Map
Please print these directions so you can find us easily.
Be very careful of people on the trains, in bus stations or at squares who tell you that they are lawyers, doctors or live overseas and express a very keen interest in helping you out; there is usually an ulterior motive and they're con artists. If someone does guide you to the riad, show your reservation sheet and explain that you do not need a tour of the Medina the following day but do tip him for his trouble. Fes is notorious for its con artists so please do not believe these tricksters on arrival to our city.
From the train or bus station in the New town:
Hop in a taxi and ask for Riad Sheherazade, Batha in the Medina, close to the Batha Fountain. Do not get out of the taxi 'til you are sure you are at Riad Sheherazade. Looking at Riad Sheherazade, turn left and walk for 150 metres. We are down the street on the right - the first riad on the right, with bonsai and palm trees, lanterns, a brass door knocker reading 'Riad Verus' and a wooden porch.
If you get lost just give us a call and we will come and search you out!! If you're arriving after 10pm it is likely the office is closed so the phone wont be answered; knock on the door and the guard will open up the door for you, please try and be as quiet as you can in case other guests are sleeping.
You can get a bus from the new town but realistically you'd only save about 4 DHM so it's worth it to take a cheap red taxi - get them to turn on the metre though!
Located Near
Batha Fountain is your closest stop from the bus station; we're about 10 minutes' walk from the famous Bab Beujeloud entrance gate, close to the main souks, about 20 minutes from the tanneries and Kelim Berber weavers and we even have a hammam located just five minutes from here. The closest hotel which is signposted is Riad Sheherazade and taxis can park outside this hotel. There is guardian parking here, too. BE VERY CAREFUL OF TOUTS.
