Riad Layalina Fes

Stunning Riad on the edge of the Fes Medina with amazing views looking over Fes (including sunrise from the rooftop!). Staff couldn't be more helpful and gorgeous 4 month old dog Kita was really playful and gorgeous. Also had private parking in the rear garden compound. Great value for money!

Fantastic location, lovely decor, comfortable room and bed (we stayed in a junior suite with a private bathroom), helpful and amazing staff, great breakfast, clean… only good words! Highly recommended! (Just a small note, you do need to go up 2 pretty narrow flights of stairs to get to the room we had. If you have any trouble with climbing stairs I would contact the owner to see if they can make arrangements for a room on one of the lower levels)

We spent 5 unforgettable days at Riad Layalina in Fes, and it was nothing short of spectacular! The staff was beyond friendly and incredibly helpful, and the cuisine? An absolute must-try! During our culinary adventure in Fes, the amazing team—Jerome, Asmaa, and Radouanne—went above and beyond to organize everything for us, including an incredible cooking workshop right at the Riad. We can't recommend this place enough—it’s a hidden gem you’ll fall in love with!

A lovely stay in a beautifully restored Riad. Would highly recommend. We loved the beautiful courtyard, pool and terraces. The staff were very helpful and made us feel like we were home. The food was excellent. We did an excellent tour organised through the Riad and staff helped organise transport to Chefchouan.

Beautiful riad at the outskirts of the medina. I was upgraded to a very spacious room. It was well decorated and had a rather large bathroom as well. It has a very antique look with doors, furniture, etc. But it seemed that the place has seen better days. That is, while it did not take away from the stay and the experience, it could use a modest investment in enhancements to make the riad much livelier and more beautiful. Lighting, appropriate decorations, and plants / trees, could all enhance this beautiful riad. Service was outstanding! In fact, one of the busy staff members was sent with me to help shop to get a competitive deal on a Moroccan style leather + carpet bag that I wanted to buy. He helped me buy some ceramics as well. But when I found out that the vendor had been lying, I was able to return my entire purchase of ceramics with a full refund only because of the help he provided. Much obligated to the owner and staff for that help. It was great to be able to park on the premises. This avoided the cost of parking, since one would otherwise have to find paid parking outside the medina. In spite of being at the outskirts of the medina, most of the sites to visit were within easy walking distance.

What a wonderful 4 days in this Riad/hotel. Manager Ridouan goes out of his way to help and serve. His sister Esma makes amazing food. Such kind people. I experienced service here that you hardly get anywhere. You made our time special. We also did a cooking workshop. Perfect! Apart from that, it’s also a very beautiful place. Highly recommended.
