Property info

Riad Verus is a fun property ran by a young management team who want their guests to feel relaxed and stress free in Fes. We are a fun vibrant property and the vibe is upbeat. The property is so beautiful and we have loads of activities and tours and excursions that can be set up in advance and on the spot at concierge. If you want a real authentic time in Morocco this place is about as good as it gets! This is a hostel which caters for the Non Domestic Market due to strict sharia laws on hospitality for shared rooms for locals and holders of Arabic passports, thanks
