Riad Laaroussa

The experience we had at another Riad set very, very high expectations, so read this with that in mind :) I've worked and stayed in luxury hotels around the world, and if you're looking for a stunning hotel, with pleasant service this would be a top choice. However overall we were looking for more of an intimate experience. Staff were very nice; they were young, friendly, kind and caring. Travelling with my mother however, it felt very uncomfortable when I was asked 'how my wife was doing?!', this summed up the disconnection between the hotel and the experience. A beautiful hotel but short of a 4/5 star experience. It is one of the most stunning Riads you will stay at. The restaurant serves great food, and the views are amazing - if you can handle the three floors of steep steps. Overall, you won't be disappointed but it felt like when we stayed there was no manager for those extra touches you expect when paying this much.

One of the most beautiful places I’ve ever stayed in!!!! Everything was just absolutely perfect from the friendly staff to the food at the restaurant and our gorgeous room!! Right in the middle of the old Medina the location is perfect as well.

It’s impossible not to be enchanted when entering Laaroussa for the first time. The inner courtyard, a hallmark of the best riads, is stunning, with beautiful trees and mosaics. In this historic 17th-century mansion, we stayed in a very spacious and comfortable room, with large windows facing the lovely courtyard. Since the building preserves its original features, access is via high, uneven stairs. Very good Moroccan-style breakfast. It also has a small but well-equipped spa. I had my only hammam there—and it was excellent. Well worth scheduling.
