Our guest reviews

Beautiful Riad with an amazing view of Fez. Very central, just a short walk into the medina. Very helpful staff, who dropped everything to assist us in organising our travel. Parking was nice, secure and off the main road. Overall it was the perfect place to stay in Fez, we’ll definitely be coming back!

Jerome and his staff did an amazing job at making us feel at home during our stay in Fez. The Riad is beautiful and very comforting. Breakfast and Parking options were a plus.

We got stuck with a prior reservation not working out and we took a chance by knocking at the door of Riad Layalina as a last minute replacement. I’m glad we did, we had a room and a welcoming tea within minutes and this location made our trip the best it could have been while in Fez.

What was meant to be a one-night-stop-over in Fes turned into two nights as this place is truly enchanting and very hard to leave! Beautifully restored riad that takes your breath away, ever-helpful, charming and kind staff, chilled out atmosphere that makes you feel you are in your heavenly home. This is the work and creation of the lovely owner Jerome whose attention to detail and friendly inclusion towards his guests truly makes this a different experience! It’s a stark contrast to the bustling and busy medina and staying here compliments the experience by giving you some relaxation after shopping and exploring sprees of Fes – which is wonderful, but much helped with such an oasis of calm, tranquillity and beauty to return to. I will be back soon inshallah, shukran giddan, merci beaucoup, thank you again for making our visit so lovely & memorable!!

This is the most beautiful Riad we stayed in during our visit to Morocco – the communal areas makes you feel like you are staying in a palace! We also had dinner on our first night and the food was delicious, as was our breakfast next to the pool in the morning. Our host was also very professional, helpful and friendly.

We found Riad Layalina a beautiful place to stay. The rooms where large and very clean with huge bathrooms. The staff where very welcoming and the location was prefect far enough away for the crowds of the medina making it a welcome retreat at the end of the day. Parking is available at the back of the hotel though we did have a little difficulty finding it.

Central location. Can walk anywhere in old town in 15-20 min. The hotel looks incredible. The staff is very nice. The food is great. The only negative is that there are no signs for the hotel (not even at entrance), so either call them, or the local parking hustlers will show it to you for a 10d tip.

Fes, with all it charms is a busy place. Riad Layalina is a quiet oasis just outside the busy streets. (The souk is just 2 minutes away.) I really enjoyed to relax, either downstairs close to the little pool or at the rooftop terrace. At the terrace in the evening it was quite fascinationg to hear the call for prayers from all the mosques in the neighbourhood.

Just off the main drag in the medina and at the top of the hill, this small riad is well worth a visit. Small dipping pool in pretty walled garden with lots of lovely mosaics … Rooms are nicely decorated and comfortable. Parking area at the back for people in cars. I think the location is good for many of the best sights. Go for it.

It was really amazing place to stay. Said has welomed us hospitably, he was so great person to talk, really helpful and frank (which is rather rare in this country). We were so exhausted after 10 days travelling across Maroko and having a lot different, difficult situations sometimes and finally at Layalina Riad we could relax and had simply great time. The standard was at the good level – air condition, small swimming pool, great breakfasts, clean rooms. The Riad is desined in the traditional marocan style. The rooftop terrace has an amazing view of the city. Strongly recommend staying here!

What a beautiful place to stay. very polite and helpful staff. beautiful spaces. just a minute walk to the sough (old bazaar). it has a small and lovely pool as well and the rooftop is just great to chill out. We stayed in the largest room and it was gorgeous with a lovely bathroom. can’t get any better, seriously.
