Charming rial a stone’s throw from the Medina. My train was late due to flooding and the staff not only had stayed up until 4 am to greet me but offered to make me something for dinner. The room was clean, beautiful, and breakfast simple and delicious. Next time I am in Fes, I will definitely stay at Layalina.
An incredible facility and the owners are incredibly helpful. The hospitality on arrival was a very nice touch and breakfast was amazing. Important to remember that it is cash only.
"Wonderful stay at Riad Layalina in Fes! Stunning riad with charming decor, excellent service, and a prime location near the medina. The staff was warm, attentive, and made us feel right at home. The rooftop views were breathtaking. Highly recommend for an authentic and memorable Fes experience!"
We stayed at Riad Layalina for 4 nights. It was an excellent experience, I'd give them 6 out of 5 if I could. Great location - easy to get to, you can get by car or taxi right to the entrance door. Medina streets are just a couple of steps away. Views from the rooftop & the terrace are awesome. We also booked a Medina walking tour & a couple of day trips via Riad Layalina - and it was a very enjoyable experience. Breakfast was included in the stay - and it was great. We also booked evening dinners at the riad - and it was an exciting exploration of Moroccan cuisine, we highly recommend. And last but not least - the family team at Riad Layalina are exceptional hosts!
Riad Layalina exceeded our expectations! It was easy for our driver to drop us off, right at the front door so we didn’t have to carry our luggage any distance. The staff were incredibly hospitable as well! We were welcomed with mint tea and other delicious treats/fruit even with our late arrival. All of the staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the stay. They were friendly and spoke English perfectly. The riad was also ornately decorated everywhere you looked! It was absolutely stunning; it was the most memorable and beautiful place we stayed through our entire vacation.
Jerome and the staff at Riad Lyalina went truly above and beyond to make my travel companion and me feel welcome and cared for on our first trip to Morocco. The rooms are gorgeous and comfortable. It was cool in Fez while we were visiting so the high quality bed comforters and very hot shower were excellent treats. Breakfast was delicious with the best savory crepes I had during my entire trip! The location is perfect for accessing the medina as well as getting dropped off by taxi and having only a short, safe walk to the entrance. We didn't drive, but there are safe spaces for private vehicles or motorcycles. I wouldn't hesitate to return this riad in a heartbeat!
A beautiful place, decorated with love and respect for traditional design. The staff was welcoming, friendly and helpful.
Radouane helped us return our rental car, giving us a tour of the outer city that we never would have seen. He also connected us with Yassine, a great guide for the medina.
Asmaa’s food was likewise excellent. And when we couldn’t finish our huge portion of couscous Friday night, they happily saved it for our Saturday dinner.
I originally picked this place because I thought we would need parking for a rental car. In the end, we didn’t, but the location was still perfect for exploring the city. I would stay there again and I highly recommend it.
Asmaa was the kindest, sweetest, most helpful person. The property was beautiful and our room — and especially its bathroom — were amazing! Everything about our stay was perfect!

The hotel located at end of a little street near the Medina. It is a little hard to find, a local guy led us and locked in the door a while to get staff’s attention. There is no reception desk inside and no bottle water offered for the day. The hotel is about 12-15 minutes walking to the blue gate.
Lovely beautiful comfortable Riad with many different terraces. Great location and views of Fes. The food is excellent and plentiful. Highly recommended!
Riad Layalina was everything we’d hoped for. Jerome communicated in a timely manner, the Riad was charming and the staff was very accommodating - even preparing breakfast for us at 0645 before leaving. The location is excellent.
The Riad was very helpful organising a taxi pickup and drop off at the station. All the staff were most welcoming and helpful. The breakfasts were amazing
This was our favorite riad experience in Morocco. The location is phenomenal, the staff is awesome, breakfast was perfect. We loved our room and the amenities were great for our needs. We would’ve stayed much longer than two nights if our itinerary allowed it. We are looking forward to returning soon and bringing family.
Had a great time staying at this riad. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful with all our requests, food, directions, tours, shopping - you name it! The space was clean, comfortable and really had the Moroccan charm we were hoping for. It's only steps away from the medina near the car park which made it really easy to find.
The breakfast was absolutely delicious and the ladies make everything fresh as soon as you're seated. This was by far the best place we stayed in Morocco. I would definitely stay here again!
This is a gem of a small Riad! The beautiful center courtyard, where our room faced, is light & airy and filled with amazing mosaics, stunning painted ceilings and intricate plaster reliefs. The staff was delightful and accommodating. Our room was charming, authentic, and spaceous. There is a wonderful roof deck with stunning views - this lovely Riad is a winner!
Riad Layalina is lovely and serene in the midst of the chaos of the medina. Morocco is still just opening up again after the covid year and i was the only guest. My room was beautiful and overlooked the courtyard. The terrace has incredible views of the city. My hosts treated me very graciously and helped me to navigate the area around the hotel. Kind people and a beautiful property!

I like the people location and courtyard but our room looked old and bathroom was not what I expected. Not cozy nor appealing very old and rugged, it ruined our stay. I would have preferred a room much more newer. But the bed was good.
Very nice Riad. My only draw back was that they did not take credit card for payment. The Riad Proprietor was very helpful in setting up paypal remittance. J

The Riad was very nice and the service was amazing, however, there was a lot of construction goin on behind it and there was a lot of noise and a big mess. During the night there was a lot of noise from dogs barking , cats figh, donkeys and the daily load prayers through the speakers that woke me up everyday around 5;30 in the mornings
