Our guest reviews

I couldn’t recommend this Riad highly enough! They are SUPER close to the Old Medina but aren’t actually inside of it. The Riad is open and airy. The rooms are beautiful, clean and lovely. We were greeted with warm tea and an open door. They did my laundry immediately and helped me rearrange a few things in the first 10 minutes I was at the Riad. They even got up at 4 am to hand me a “to-go” breakfast for my early morning flight. If you want to stay near the Old Medina (2 minute walk!) and have super fast wifi and great service… this is the Riad for you!

Riad Layalina is a gorgeous oasis in Fes. We loved staying there. It is just outside the walls of the medina, in a very convenient location. The rooms are comfortable, with strong air conditioning (which is much needed!) The plunge pool is also a real treat. The roof is perfect for sunsets and the breakfast is tasty.

Excellent facilities and beautiful interior. My friends and I were treated like kings, the staff were wonderful and a real credit to their business. I would highly recommend staying here to everyone, and I am already planning to return in the near future. 5/5.

Beautiful place with a small plunge pool which was wonderful. We were a group of bikers so for us one of the most important thing was that they have their own enclosed area where the bikes were safe. A rare thing for Riads in the area.
Also the staff was excellent meeting our every need. We are arrived well past midnight and were set astray by bogus tourist assistants. We called and Osama came to find us. On arrival we were lavished with fruit cocktail and refreshments. Guides for the tour of the Medina and Hamam was also organised by them.
Highly recommended.

My girlfriend and I stayed at Riad Layalina for two nights in August 2017 and had a great experience. The riad itself is beautiful, with a courtyard, a pool, and fantastic views of the city and hills. Our room was palatial–it had a whole other bedroom we didn’t even use, as well as a living room overlooking the courtyard, a large bathroom, and the main bedroom–and all for only 160 Euros. The staff was a real highlight. Each morning they served us a generous breakfast of pastries, eggs, coffee, and orange juice, and they were happy to help us out with calling cabs and communicating with a driver we had hired for a day trip to another city. Most importantly, when I accidentally left behind a ring and a phone charger, they found them and sent them to me in America free of charge.The location is also great for exploring the old medina, and it’s a quick cab ride to the train station. I highly recommend Riad Layalina and hope to stay there again when I return to Fez.

I’ll be honest…we had just came from a stay at a riad in a medina in Marrakesh and we were skeptical to stay at another one. Layalina, however, was amazing through and through. On the edge of the medina it was the perfect riad to stay if you have trouble navigating in Morocco and more importantly have a car. They have their own private car park! Those using GPS will have no problem finding the place since the parking lot is a major waypoint on the car’s navigation. The staff was super friendly and attentive…the layout of the whole riad and our rooms was simply charming and the breakfast was plentiful! Highly recommended! (Don’t forget to check out the courtyard at night…some cool lighting effects installed).

Wonderful place to stay in Fez!! We stayed in riads all over Morocco, and Riad Layalina was definitely the best. We were there in August, and the air conditioning worked great and the small pool was a miracle at the end of a long, hot day. The staff was wonderful helping with arrangements, water, tea, and meals. They even had a parking spot for our car. The Riad itself is beautiful. This place was perfect!

After these last great 3 days of our trip we have nothing to say but a big thank you!
Everything was excellent since the moment we arrived.
Beautiful Riad, nice room with good airco, beautiful Moroccan courtyard with a pool, diverse breakfast each morning, stunning views from the rooftop terrace, and great location.
And on top of that, Redouane and Bilal are the most helpful and nice staff you can find!

We stayed me and my gf for just one night we had superior double room and it was the best room ever!! Great welcoming, beautiful riad very close to the medina, top breakfast with fresh omelette too Would definitely book it again and again and again Thanks a lot for the service provided!

The hosts/staff of this riad are amazing! They went above and beyond for us. Unfortunately my husband fell ill while we were staying here. It was stressful and scary, but the staff went out for us and got us some medication to help him. On top of that they wouldn’t even let us pay for the medicine. They also kept giving us bread and fruit, as that was the only food my husband could stomach. Really appreciated. They also serve breakfast at any time! As opposed to before 10 am as all the other riads. I really appreciate this as sometimes, you want to sleep in and take it easy and being stuck to a schedule sucks. Overall, the riad was great, the rooms for comfortable, but the staff made this riad special for us!
