Our guest reviews

So close to the Médina but away from the noise this gorgeous classic building is only the start of many highlights of staying at Riad Layalina. Superb architecture , huge comfortable suite with ensuite, loft and huge balcony overlooking the pool and Médina. The tram were wonderful and looked after us like family. The food is the best and most authentic we had anywhere in our 12 day visit to Morocco. The cooking lesson my wife had was a special experience with wonderful chefs and beautiful people as well. Jerome you are so lucky to have such a wonderful warm and caring team and congratulations on one of the best stays we have ever experienced.

The greatest place we stayed during our travels in Morocco! The staff was really helpful and kind. On arrival after a 8 hour train trip from Marrakech we were served Tagine and fresh fruits. The Riad is beautiful and the guys there will help with everything you need. Definitely stay here if you are going to Fes.

Lovely, quiet, centrally located, super clean, rejuvenating hub from which to explore Fès! Pool, meals, air conditioning and wifi make it easy to want to spend the hotter days inside in style. Highly recommend it!

Amazing stay at the riad. Very beautiful and relaxing place. The staff really go out of their way to help you out. Thank you so much mohamed and bilal! You guys definitely took care of me on this one!

Beautiful place, so clean and comfortable. Highly recommend!

Excellent hospitality, someone was always on hand to provide us with a mint tea or a water. The vegetarian tagine and fruit salad offered on arrival were delicious and much welcome after our 6 hour bus journey. Breakfast was amazing and when we had a very early flight thank you for arranging our taxi and our 5am packed breakfast! Great location very close to the Médina. But also enough on the edge to feel like a tranquil retreat after a hard days shopping. The plunge pool is great for cooling off at the end of the day. And the whole place is beautifully decorated. Without a doubt the best place we stayed in Morocco. We were delighted to return here at the end of our trip. So much nicer than an international 4 star hotel we stayed in elsewhere.

I had a wonderful stay at Riad Layalina. I really enjoyed the location. Very easy to find once arriving to the entrance of the Medina . Incredibly friendly staff & very helpful ! The food was very tasty I was offered a meal both times i arrived immediately . I thought that was very kind . I definitely will be visiting again!

Really good place to stay in fez! no doubt to come back. It is close to la medina, but not to much, really quiet and beautiful!

You MUST stay here. Incredible hosts and beautiful Riad|Amina, Laura and Irene – London, UK

don’t know where to start. We had THE BEST stay in Morocco at Riad Layalina. Mohamed and his team went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and to make our stay as incredible as it was. We stayed in 4 different riads in 4 cities on a road trip in Morocco in August, and we kept comparing each one of them to Riad Layalina. Not even more expensive and luxurious ones were able to come close. Nope. Not even close.

Nothing was ever too much trouble. We were helped and looked after from the moment Mohammed waved at us from the balcony and gave us a hand parking the car in the secured parking – they have CCTV as well!

Breakfast and food is fantastic. The riad is beautiful, clean and confortable. AC is installed in every room, so if you travel in summer like we did, you’ll still have a pleasant cool sleep. Beds are super comfortable too, great mattress.

It’s amazing to get “home” in the evenings and sit with a tagine and some cool drinks dipping your feet on the pool whilst having a nice little debrief chat of our adventures…

I could go on and on and on, but I don’t think I can explain it on here much more – you must visit it and judge it for yourself. You won’t be disappointed.

We’ll be back. We promised, and we can’t wait. Thank you again guys.

Mohammad, Mohammad, and Belal were absolutely fantastic at this Riad. Not only did they help us throughout our stay, they went above and beyond to help us return our rental car, arrange airport and train transportation, move luggage, pick up train tickets, and even walk into the Medina at night when we didn’t feel as safe. They made our stay truly special and we would return in a heartbeat.

On top of that, this Riad is excellent, especially if you’re traveling by car (they have free gated covered parking that is separate from the car park down the street) or have quite a bit of luggage. It’s a minute walk from the gates into the old Medina and 15-20 minutes from anywhere you’d like to go in the old city.
