This was the best hotel I recall ever staying. It's a riad, not really a hotel. It's an Arab version of a Spanish villa, with a beautiful courtyard and garden inside the property. There are only 6 rooms, and each of them is flawlessly well maintained. The staff is also small but everybody consistently interacts with you. Monique, the owner, is a welcoming French lady who welcomes you like no other place. The place went through extensive renovation a while ago but maintenance is so good that it still looks new. It has heat pumps and AC, an amazing breakfast, and a fantastic rooftop with a great 360-degree view. Location-wise, it is right in the medina, but literally 150 m from one of the Babs (external gates). This place is highly recommendable.

A Perfect Oasis
Staying at Riad Norma was a wonder experience. Monique the owner was very kind; gave us great local information and made us extremely welcome. The cleanliness and comfort of the room was impeccable. Riad Norma is in a great location and the pool is a great way to cool off after a hot day exploring. Wine and beer is also available and can be hard to find in other locations. I highly recommend staying at this Riad

Wow, wow, wow!
One of the most beautiful, stunning boutique hotels I have ever stayed in. Gorgeous Riad loving restored to its Imperial Palace era by the owner Monique. Monique is a treasure along with her staff, welcoming guests like long lost family. She parts solo guests for dinners and outings like extended family meeting for the first time. Breakfast is fabulous, and although she no longer serves dinner, Monique has a full wine cellar of both French and Moroccan wines which you can buy by the glass or bottle. Close to Bab (gate) Ziat it is easy to come and go by taxi without getting lost in the denser parts of the Medina. My highest recommendation!

Really loved talking to Monique, who is the owner and manager of the riad. The room itself was really small, and the beds were a tad bit uncomfortable. I'd recommend not booking the deluxe room - go for something bigger. The breakfast was decent and the riad was generally well-located (blue gate was around a 15-minute walk) The riad was completely empty which was nice. Given that all the rooms were empty, it would've been nice if we were offered an upgrade to a larger room.

Palatial Riad in Fez
Riad Norma was every bit as good as the reviews we had read. Monique has restored the building with flair and sensitivity to become a really beautiful and tastefully furnished raid. She is an attentive host. looking after all her guests needs. Her music choices are diverse and really add to the ambiance. The food, in particular the dinner was delicious. Thank you for a brilliant stay.

Exceptional riad. The riad is owned by an elegant French lady, and the owner + the staffs are all super friendly. The riad is 10 mins away from the blue gate by walking, and owner is very helpful for making all kinds of reservations and recommendations for us. We had dinner at the riad for 1 night, and it was super delicious too. Overall a great experience and I would definitely come back to stay in the future when I visit Fes.

Beautifully restored riad in the heart of Medina.
Monique and her staff are exceptional hosts. The Riad is a beautiful old building that has been restored to exceptional detail. The "Lucia" room we stayed in had enormous ceilings, tons of living space, and stained glass windows that overlooked the central courtyard. It was unbelievably amazing. Also, the communal breakfasts in the morning are a great way to meet the other guests and start the day.

Charming and quiet palace
This place was so charming, the owner, Monique, is French. She is very nice as well as the personnel, good and hardworking people. The decoration, atmospher, makes you feel you are in a palace. If you do not want to stay right in the Medina I recommend this place it I should by the Ziat neighborhood which is still inside of the Medina, but about 10-15 min walk from the Blue gate and souks. The only down side is the laundry service is by hand and sundrie. Because of this our clothes smelled musky, but ultimately we are in Morocco, so plan to do your laundry somewhere else by machine if you have the chance. Overall it was a beautiful experience for our honeymoon.

Gorgeous architecture, decor in a great location
Gorgeous architecture and decor. A beautiful and peaceful refuge on a quiet street just steps away from the lively center of the ancient Fes medina. The dinners we had here were the best we had in Morocco. The owner, a French woman who lovingly restored the building, is attentive and helpful, as were all of the members of her staff. Wonderful music played in the common areas throughout our stay, and we wished we had more time just to relax and soak in the beauty of the place.
