Riad Layalina Fez

We had a wonderful stay at Riad Layalina. The staff was amazing and was incredibly helpful in booking transfers, hiring a local tour guide, and was a vital piece in helping us both deal with our lost luggage and then retrieve it from the airport 3 days later. Our room was a bit dark, but cozy, quiet and peaceful. And clean! The atrium is beautiful. I think we ate at the riad every night because we loved the tagine and the atmosphere so much. It felt like coming home. It was a little chilly in April so we didn’t spend much time up there, but the rooftop has a great view. And finally ... the location is perfect. This was our first stop in Morocco so it was an adjustment navigating the Medina but Riad Layalina made it so easy to find our way home (even in the dark!) because the location is near enough of a landmark so you will be able to find your way - and your airport transfer or taxi can drive straight to the door! No hauling luggage through the souks here 🙂

A charming Riad in an excellent location with very sympathetic staff. Breakfast was excellent. And the pool was perfect for a refreshing break after walking through the Medina. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We traveled in Morocco for a week and even though we didn’t stay long in Fez, Riad Layalina was the nicest accommodation during our visit to Northern Africa. The Riad’s common area is down right beautiful and the location is perfect; it is right around the corner from a gate to the Médina. Sunrise from the roof is gorgeous. The service was also terrific and the fruit salad with apples, kiwi, banana, and pears upon our welcome was tasty and refreshing. I really do not see any reason to stay anywhere else in Fez, should I return.

The riad is super cool and has everything you need. It has a big rooftop terrace, free personal parking, a cool interior and good location. The staff is very nice and has good information about the city. Our room was also clean.

Really nice riad in the Fès Médina. Really cool inside, great balcony with a view, rooms were well provided, breakfast was fantastic. Also appreciated that the host took the time to give me a map of the Fès medina and point a few things out because it helped me get a handle on it.

My brother and i had hospitable time in Riad Layalina. It was overall, close to the center of the médina action, which meant lots of shopping, and sight seeing within a historical city. our hosts were pleasant, accessible, and courteous. we enjoyed our time here very much, thank you!

I stayed in the Junior suite and it was absolutely exquisite. From the moment I arrived, I was treated wonderfully. I was greeted with mint tea, fruit, and snacks. I was given great advice on sites to check out, directions to meet my friends, and the host Jérôme even so kindly asked one of my guides if he could return a little later as I was exhausted from traveling the previous day. Jérôme, his wife, and Bilal were wonderful. The property is spotlessly clean, the WiFi works well, and the accommodations were beautiful and luxurious. The location is premium in the Old Medina, close to everything! On my next return to Fes, I will absolutely stay here again, and would recommend anyone else to do so as well.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful ryad mere minutes from the hustle and bustle of the medina. Breakfast was incredible, Jerome was also amazing in arranging transport to the airport at 3am and sending us off with a packed breakfast too. Hospitality really was second to none. The roof terrace has great views and the whole feel of the place is calming, an oasis just minutes from the craziness of the medina. The pool is an added bonus, though a little chilly still in May!!

A gorgeous riad on a quiet street one block from the craziness of the Médina (and a 15 minute walk to the view point overlooking the Médina). The owner did a fantastic job of restoring this old residence, including adding a swimming pool. Very attentive staff, great breakfast, a beautiful rooftop terrace, free parking. Highly recommended.
