Centrally located and beautiful renovated Riad in the heart of Fes. The staff was polite and the breakfast was decent but nothing special. The only important negative point was that there was a distinct sewage smell in our room and the Riad that made us not wanting to come back. When we asked the manager he told it is coming “from the wood” but clearly the smell was not that…We stayed in many Riads across our trip to Morocco and this was the only one either that issue. Unfortunately for that reason I wouldn’t recommend/going back.

None

Everything about the place was very nice. Staff, location, rooms…

As others have said, the walls are thin and you can hear other guests. We were there in the winter and some nights we were the only guests there so it didn’t matter but I can imagine it could be noisy if it was full.

A lovely Riad just on the edge of the Medina. Latifa gave us the most warm welcome and it was a great spot to begin our Fes adventure. I am coeliac and require a gluten free diet and had advised them of this in advance. Every day there were different choices of gluten free pancakes, little cakes and Moroccan flatbread for breakfast as well as delicious fresh orange juice, GF yogurt and a good pot of tea. Latifa was very helpful on excursions and sat down with us to work out the best way to do things. The room was kept very clean. The terrace is lovely but it was a bit too cold for us to sit out for long. It would be a lovely place to have breakfast during spring and summer. Our flight out was very early but a member of staff was there to provide a packed breakfast and see us on our way. An excellent place to stay.

Excellent stay within the medina of Fez but also conveniently located to the rest of the city. The Riad is very beautiful, with charming architecture and the rooms are spacious and very clean. Highly recommended

Walls are a bit thin so you may hear some noise from the street or outside the room. Having a TV in the room would be great!

Beautiful Riad, very nice rooms, and wonderful owners! They helped us with all the local advice, tips, taxi arrangements and organized also very nice dinner at the rooftop and hammam! Thank you very much!

That we didn't spend longer here.

Beautiful large room. Bed was extremely comfortable. Breakfast on the rooftop was breathtaking. Our host Muhammod was extremely accommodating. From meeting us at the edge of the medina and carrying our luggage to the riad, organising an awesome guide to take us through the medina and other locations, being available by phone any time of the day or night if we needed his assistance with anything. I cannot speak highly enough of Muhammod. They even had a packed breakfast ready for us to take to the airport the following morning as we had a very early flight.

The riad is very charming and beautiful. Our room and bathroom were big, boasting the best Moroccan artisanal items. Also its location is perfect to explore the Medina and the city main attractions. We also enjoyed breakfast and dinner on its rooftop. Staff is extremely helpful and friendly.

The scammers in the Medina but that’s not the property’s fault.

Great location in the old Medina. Beautiful clean property, spacious rooms with fresh towels every day and tasty breakfast.

The shower cap may need a bit of cleaning.

If you don't know where to eat in Fes at night, just eat at the riad. The dinner was astounding. The breakfast is also very good. The personnel was polite, always available for information and help. When we had activities in the morning or when we went to the airport, they would pack the breakfast for us to take away. The riad is marvelous and our room (suite Sara) was incredible, big windows and very beautiful design. In the bathroom they would provide shampoo, shower gel and an incredible lait corporelle that was just the cherry on top of a fantastic experience. The view on the terrace is wonderful, specially at night. They were renewing the spa/hammam so we couldn't see it and the fountain was closed, most probably due to the drought Morocco is going through.

Perfect location in the Medina, and still very quiet. Great style comfortable riad with an amazing terrace breakfast. Very Kind and warm atmosphere! I would come back!

you could hear everyone speaking inside the riad and Vv. Therefore, it was not very private in that sense Also, the outside noise carried through

The breakfast fabulous. The service was very good. Great amenities and location. We had a very comfortable stay

Beautiful building. We arrived before the check-in time so to make our waiting time more pleasant we were offered tea and some cookies on the terrace with a great view. The room was big, clean and nicely decorated. The breakfast that we got on our trip was delicious ! I absolutely enjoyed our stay. Thank you!

I would only suggest to add a bin for the garbage in the guest room, but that’s all!

Riad Layla played a relevant part in the success and beauty of my stay in Fes. I was traveling on my own and Riad Layla made me feel at ease, cuddled and spoiled. They took care of me like a caring parent would do with a son: at my arrival late in the evening, without even having to ask, they made me found dinner, so that I didn’t have to go out and look for a place to eat after a day on the plane. They also helped me to plan my daily trips to Volubilis/Meknes and Chefchaouen, and never made me leave without breakfast. They really provided me of everything and even more I could ask for. Riad is charming, beautifully furnished and very clean; the bed is so comfortable that I thought it was a pity not to spend the whole vacation napping on it. I also loved its position very easy to find and to reach, close to the souk and to many useful services, such as a pharmacy, ATM and grocery shops. I will definitely be back in Fes and I will with no doubt come back to riad Layla, which I recommend wholeheartedly.
