Very nice riad. The rooms were terrific, and the central courtyard was nice. However, I was hoping for the riad and the staff to feel a little more homely (just like the riads that we stayed at in Meknes and Chefchaouen, also booked using Hostelworld). Verus definitely had more of a hostel/hotel/business feel to it. The breakfasts were delicious, and the guided tour excursion through the medina is a must!

Thanks for your review and we are pleased you found us to have a very nice Riad and that the rooms were great and you liked the courtyard, yes we are a professional outfit but still try and maintain a fun relaxed vibe and prevent the house from becoming run down we need to act professionally and meet high expectations from our guests, We are so pleased you liked the tour of the Medina.

I spent there only a night with my girlfriend and following detailed directions we find out this awesome riad. Welcome has been given by Abdul, a great guy who offered us a cup of tea and start talking about the city, its history, its colture and about everything and nothing, he's really nice! The hostel is 400 m from the main square in a peacefull street. Unfortunately the AC was broken, but Abdul saved us by giving additional blanket and everything comes great! Breakfast huge and delicious!

I would definitely recommend Riad Verus to a friend. I spent here my first night in Morocco and it was a positive experience. Clean, cosy atmosphere, delicious breakfast and friendly staff, who offered us mint tea as we step in. Location is also ideal if you come by car, Riad Verus is quite easy to find, just at the entrance of the medina and a stone's trow away from Bab Bou Jeloud, where the two main "talaa" start.

This poor review is for their off site dorm. Make sure that you do not stay in the off site dorm because it is extremely hard to find. They do not give you a key to the apartment so every time you want to be let in to the apt you have to make the 10 minute walk to the riad. I am sure that staying in the Riad is very nice but this off site apt was ridiculous. The place was really cold and the hot water heater requires someone to get it started. Enjoy Fez, stay somewhere else!

We are sorry that you did not like the off site dorm you booked and since the rush of Christmas and New Years this has been removed from our listings. We were however pleased to have you spend so much time with the other guests at the Riad and it was just unfortunate that you stayed here at the busiest time of the year and also the most coldest day of the year, where despite all the heaters and burners we have and in the appartment aswell as blankets it was super cold. Can assure you that your comments have been taken into consideration and we are sorry that hadnt booked a room in the Riad itself.

Beautiful place but no atmosphere staying there is like being on a lame school camp. But has potential to be awesome if the culture of the administration changed.

Most upset to read your review especially as there was a great atmosphere for Christmas in the Riad and with the Christmas presents and fun vibe in the hostel all the other guests found it to be awesome. I am sorry you did not like my English culture.

This is a really great hostel with really helpful staff. The breakfast is great and they have free Wi fi. The location is adjacent to the Medina so you can walk everywhere. Be Careful on the train as on the stop before Fes all of the "Hustlers" get on, they speak english and tell you they have family in your country and then they try to trick you and take you different hostels and demand money etc. Anyone who is nice in public is trying to scam you so dont listen.
