Reviews of Riad Layla

Incredible service every step of the way. Mohammed is an absolute legend who helped us out with everything from finding laundry on night one to sorting us out with a guide around Fes. Beautiful place on the outskirts of the Medina with easy access to the roundabout and the Blue Gate. Would 100000% stay here again. Thanks so much for everything to all of the staff at Layla, especially Mohammed!!!!

Room is clean and comfortable. One thing I disappointed is airport transfer service. I booked and paid the fee at the hotel,but taxi driver requires to pay the fee. So I call the hotel staff on the spot,but hotel staff said didn't receive the fee. Because of this, I was made to pay twice.

在摩洛哥住過最好的riad，很漂亮，早餐豐盛，

The Riad is well located inside a quiet part of the Medina, a short walk into the souks. The rooms are large and the breakfast on the rooftop is ample. It is a good value for the money. The only drawback is that some of the rooms are up several flights of very narrow steps. And the breakfast area on the rooftop is five floors up from the main floor. This was not a problem for us, but those with mobility issues would be better off choosing another place. I would stay here again.

My third visit to Fes and where else would I stay but Riad Layla? The location just inside the medina is perfect and the welcome was every bit as warm as on my two previous visits and the team could not have been more helpful - it might not be the fanciest choice in town but it is clean, friendly and perfectly located and I will stay here again next time I come to Fes. I travelled with a friend this time and the royal suite worked very well - although the double bed on the mezzanine is definitely more comfortable than the single in the sitting room! Amazingly generous and filling breakfasts give you the energy you need to spend a day in the medina - and they did a great job of providing tasty gluten-free options for my friend which was much appreciated. Travelling with a friend rather than my husband meant we could do different activities from previous visits. We spent a wonderful morning shopping with Latifa and then cooking a three-course meal in the Riad kitchen and it was lovely to do this just the two of us rather than as part of a larger group at one of the "cooking schools". We also braved the hamman for my first ever time - full scrub with black soap, clay mask and then a wonderful massage took a couple of hours and left us ultra-relaxed and with baby-soft skin - definitely to be recommended. We even did yoga on the roof terrasse with amazing views over the medina - still surprised at how quiet it is with no traffic noise and reinforced my view that Fes is a much better option than Marrakech.

We stayed in five places during our Morocco trip and this Riad was my favorite. Very clean, beautiful decor, and good location. The rooms were also quite spacious. Great view of the city when you visit the terrace, where breakfast is served on a daily basis. Friendly staff.

Stayed for 2 nights in the suite on the ground floor. Very spacious with doors opening out into the courtyard. Two good sized single beds and a seating area as well as a large bathroom area. Very clean just a little dark in the room, could have done with option of brighter lights and as it was on the ground floor near the entrance there was a bit of noise at certain times. The roof terrace area where you can have breakfast is great, lots of space to sit as well as a few sun loungers with spectacular 360 views over the whole old town area of Fes. Just bear in mind there are a lot of stairs to the top! Breakfast was huge with various types of bread and pancakes, jams and scrambled eggs. Staff very happy to help and we were able to leave our bags once checked out. Location is amazing as right on edge of old town area near the top of the two main laneways which run downhill through the souk area to the tanneries. Overall good value in a perfect location close to all the hussle and bustle but far enough away for peace and quiet.

An initial slight bad smell upon entry and a bit of delay with the delivery of the room had made us doubtful, but we then had to change our minds. Huge and very beautiful double room, very comfortable beds (the two nights I slept best in all 8 days in Morocco), helpful staff. The breakfast was very good and plentiful, especially if enjoyed on the splendid terrace overlooking the city. Perhaps given that the structure is very beautiful it deserves a little modernization, but in any case the cleanliness was impeccable. We also had dinner here one evening and although the prices are a little higher than in the city (but I think it is a common problem for all Riads) the dinner was very good. I definitely recommend it.

Stayed at this riad for 2 nights. We really enjoyed. The room was large, but it was very stuffy, and we didn’t turn on the air conditioning because of the child. It was annoying, of course, that there was no door to the toilet, only a curtain. This makes me uncomfortable. Everything else is great. Good location. Very caring staff, helped with everything. Breakfast is excellent. I recommend

The staff of the structure are the plus of this riad, as they are extremely kind and available to accommodate every request. Latifa and Mohamed are sunny and kind people. The breakfast was good and with typical products. On the structure, although apparently very beautiful, it is dilapidated and quite distant from the photographs. The smell of the riad is not pleasant and this is something that cannot be overlooked and should certainly be corrected. Our room should be refreshed and the bathroom completely redone, as the shower during our stay (April 2023) had a knob that didn't work (which fortunately they replaced the following day), the wall had a hole closed with toilet paper and the very precarious and dancing soap dispenser. The wall is all stained, the glass separating the bedroom and bathroom is unstable. A curtain would also have been useful to keep out the light that reached the pillow. I would also add that a group of kids gathered outside the Riad on the last evening and shouted for over 1 hour and 30 minutes. There is no claim that the glass is soundproof but that at least there is something that can muffle the noise. I would add that it is a shame because the structure has great potential but there is very little care in general.

We came to this riad in December 2022. Riad very well located. Room on the top floor on the terrace with a magnificent view. Very good meal. Very dark room and modest wifi access. Helpful staff. We had an electricity problem during our stay. We couldn't take a shower without getting quite strong electric shocks, even holding the shower head and opening the taps was not possible since our feet were wet... I'll let you imagine the complexity of getting there. shower after days of intense walking in the Medina. We reported it to the manager who told us 3 times in a row that he would do what was necessary. Nothing was done unfortunately. One where several rooms in the riad looked empty but at no time did they offer us another alternative. Commercial gesture of 10 euros for taking risks given the dangerousness of the problem.
