Beautiful Riad very well located. There is a private parking space. THe hosts were very friendly and accommodating and their helpers were wonderful. Wonderful breakfast icnluded on the terrace with a gorgeous view.
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.
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay!
Staff were so helpful and kind
Beautiful room
Breakfast was YUMMY.
But:
Four stars because at no point in our correspondence did they inform me they are CASH ONLY. This policy exceptionally rare for lodging. As a visitor and solo woman traveller, I was uncomfortable maxing out ATM withdrawals on busy, narrow streets and spending extra on transaction fees, so they can save on fees and taxes. THEN having to walk around with wads of cash. All during my limited vacation time, grrr. Plus they know Morocco has a closed currency, which means it is not possible to get cash in advance, only upon arrival. I pointed all of this out to them so they'd know to communicate their CASH ONLY policy more clearly, but I honestly don't think they understood the impact their CASH ONLY policy has on travellers. Not even an apology for all the above, which is most uncool.

Riad Laylina is beautiful, clean, has great views, and is in a great location.
Mohamad did a superb job making sure we were taken care of. He made a fantastic breakfast, gave recommendations of where to go, and set us up on a tour.
The tour was with Abdoul. Abdoul is extremely knowledgeable and knows the history and landmarks of the city very well. I highly recommend taking advantage of the tour, just ask Mohamad and he will set it up.
"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!
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.

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.
