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.

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!

Fantastic!

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!

10/10 would come stay again!

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!

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!

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.

The epitome of Moroccan hospitality

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.

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

Like being part of a Moroccan family

Ridhouan and his family provided one of the nicest stays we've ever had. It was something like being part of the family. We showed up a little late and he had a hot home-cooked dinner waiting for us so that we wouldn't have to go out into an unfamiliar city at night. The Riad was clearly a little slow, but that meant that we got a full service experience. Staying here was like having a rent-an-uncle service. Ridhouan noticed a few issues with our rental car and offered to help get a local guy to fix a tail light at local-friendly prices. The Riad also works with a local guide, Amin, who brought us on a full day tour of the city for a quoted price of 600 Dh (~$60); more than worth it! Between Ridhouan and Amin we got our Covid tests sorted out, paperwork printed, the city explored, and we had a beautiful stay.
The interior courtyard.
The fountain gently bubbling in the courtyard. There was a small pool as well, but we did not use it.
The formal dining room.
Our room (mess made by us). Gorgeous decorations with lots of pottery and tile work.

Beautiful place in a great location with parking. Spotlessly clean. They met us with fruit and tea upon check in. The courtyard and the rooms are beautiful and spotlessly clean. The restroom is not inside the room, it’s across the hallway. I think it’s supposed to be a private bathroom but not sure as there were people using it when we first arrived. Make sure you make not of where the light switches are if you’re walking around at night, the hallways are very dark but there are switches on every floor and hallway. Great views from the upstairs patios. We booked a last minute tour through the riad and they were very helpful. The guide was nice, very soft spoken so a bit hard to hear in the loud Medina. Got some history and the usual stops to hear sales pitches but not too much pressure from the vendors. The riad kept our bags after check out and had a taxi to the airport after the tour. Would definitely stay again!
