Riad Layla

Camera spaziosa Struttura nella parte più vecchia e tipica della città. Camera molto spaziosa, lo staff ci ha preparato la colazione da portare via prima dell'alba.

We loved Riad Layla - beautiful room, friendly staff. The breakfast was heavy on bread with few fruit options. That's just about my only complaint.

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.

Il personale della struttura è il plus di questo riad, in quanto estremamente gentili e disponibili ad accogliere ogni richiesta. Latifa e Mohamed sono persone solari e gentili. La colazione buona e con prodotti tipici. Sulla struttura per quanto apparentemente molto bella, è fatiscente e abbastanza distante dalle fotografie. L’odore del riad non è piacevole e questo è qualcosa che non si può trascurare e che andrebbe sicuramente corretto. La nostra camera andrebbe rinfrescata e il bagno rifatto completamente, in quanto la doccia durante il nostro soggiorno (Aprile 2023) aveva la manopola che non funzionava (che fortunatamente il giorno seguente hanno sostituito), il muro un buco chiuso con della carta Igienica e il dispenser del sapone molto precario e ballerino. La parete tutta macchiata, il vetro che separa la camera da letto e bagno poco stabile. Sarebbe stato utile anche una tendina per non fare entrare la luce che arrivava proprio sul cuscino. Inoltre aggiungo che fuori al Riad l’ultima sera si sono radunati un gruppo di ragazzi che hanno gridato per oltre 1h 30 minuti, non si pretende che il vetro sia insonorizzato ma che almeno ci sia qualcosa che possa attutire il rumore. Aggiungo che è un peccato perché la struttura ha un grande potenziale ma c’è davvero poca cura in generale.

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.
