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.

That we didn't spend longer here.

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.

The shower cap may need a bit of cleaning.

The Riad is a lovely accommodation - the room is big, with a view towards the beautifully decorated internal courtyard, a comfy bed and a nice sitting area. The bathroom is fairly big and nicely designed. The staff was extremely responsive and helped us with all our needs - the airport transfer, a tour etc. Particularly enjoyable is the view from the rooftop during breakfast.

Might have been our fault, but we didn't realise how cold the nights would be even inside. The temperature in the room was definitely way below comfort level (although I'm sure that during summer months this would be greatly appreciated). Another point for improvement is related to the tour we booked (the Atlas Mountains one). We were promised an English speaking guide but, in reality, he was just a driver with a very basic English level - so it didn't really feel like an experience, but like a nice self-guided trip.

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.

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

Hotel close to Blue Gate, short walk away. Great location. Different breakfast was served each day so that was a nice variety to experience. We had tea on the roof terrace two nights with lovely views of Fes and lovely breeze. Got massage done as well which was arranged and was very good!

The only issue we had (we were in the Royal suite so the bed area was in the loft) was that the air conditioner was in the lounge but due to the warm weather, the cool air didn't reach our bed area all too well. Maybe a small fan might be helpful?

Stayed at Riad Layla for 3 days. We were really happy with our choice for this riad. Rooms were nice, clean and had lots of space. Service and staff were extremely helpful and friendly. If you arrive by car, let them know, so they'll pick you up at the roundabout at place Batha. Also breakfast (we had dinner outside of the riad, but they offered dinner for 15 euro) was really good and relaxed on the beautiful rooftop terrace. They also offered hammam, which we didn't use. We did hire an official guide through the riad for a tour through the Fez medina, which I could really recommended if you're going to spend a whole day in the medina and want to see and know more than just the touristy shops. Overall, really enjoyed our stay and would defenitely recommend!

The hammam was a bit expensive. However, I think you pay an extra sum as a tourist everywhere. Aside from that, everything was perfect!

We LOVED the exceptional hospitality. Our room on the terrace was lovely and very private. The decor in the entire Riad Layla is extraordinary. I highly recommend booking the hammam and massage treatment. You'll regret not living such memorable experience alone or with your partner. You won't regret booking here!

Nothing to report. Everything exceeded our expectations.

The staff was very friendly and helpful! I was able to arrange affordable taxi transportation to the train station, as well as arrange for private tours of the Old Medina in Fez, as well as outbound tours of Volubilis and Meknes. I really appreciated them helping me arrange these tours as they turned out to be amazing experiences! The property is well-maintained, clean, and has all the basic facilities, including AC inside rooms. The view from my room was only of the central courtyard of the Riad, but the terrace has a good view of the Fez. Since breakfast is included, you can enjoy some really good food while you soak in the morning views of the Old Medina. The service is very polite always, so it made the entire stay very enjoyable. The Riad is in a good location, and less than 10 minutes by walk from The Blue Gate / Bab Boujloud, making it very ideal location for enjoying the experience of this incredible and ancient Moroccan city! Lastly, they do have spa services here including a hammam/Turkish bath service, and full-body massage services. I enjoyed both these very much and my massage therapist was very good! Be sure to book these in advance if you're interested. I would highly recommend the hammam experience for a good exfoliation of dead skin. All in all, a wonderful stay here and would recommend Riad Layla!

The things I didn't like were quite minor and I don't typically care too much about things. It would be nice to have some bottles of mineral water stocked in the fridge. My bathroom was very clean and functional but a little odd. The toiletries, while provided, were not labeled at all. There was both an overhead and handheld shower, but the four facuet knobs to operate it were all labeled "Hot". The drainage of the water is slow, so when you're showering, your feet will be in a poor of dirty water. Finally, the bathroom doesn't have a door, just a curtain. Honestly, this was my only critique - the bathroom design. Definitely scope for improvement but this shouldn't keep you from selecting this otherwise great value-for-money option.

The Riad is located in a very convenient location in the medina (or very close to it, hard to say as a foreinger). The facilities are very elegant and remarkable, rooms are gorgeous and ample. There is a beautiful terrace on top, very peaceful and with splendid views to the whole city. Dining there was unforgettable, home cooked Moroccan food.The hosts were generous, patient and extremely helpful, providing us with tips and arranging details, such as transfers from the train station, contact with a professional guide, and providing us with early lunch packages. Wish we would have more days... thanks a million!

None. Everything was magic.

- our room, the Salma suite, despite the initial hiccups - our temporary upgrade room, Royal Suite - our host Mohamed and Latifa along with the entire housekeeping staff. - the delicious breakfasts - the scenic rooftop - the convenient location

we booked the Salma suite and had a few initial issues heating in our room - was not working and the room was freezing, was provided a portable heater for the night and an engineer was called out to fix the A/c. bathroom - A really bad smell from the drain, we were upgraded to another the Royal suite and this issue was also fixed. Both issues resolved promptly and on our return to Salma suite we had no further complaints for the duration of our stay. Our upgrade to the royal suite was perfect
