Riad Layalina Fes

My stay at Riad Layalina in Fes Morocco was an experience of deep welcome from the moment I arrived late my first night--where Asmae and Jerome had waited up to receive me with fresh peaches and grapes and mint tea--until I left in the morning, four days later after a quiet coffee with Asmae before the other guests came down. The center garden of Riad Layalina splashes with the red, green, gold and blue tiles set in white and gold that are its theme. Soaring arches and columns, luxurious couches for reclining and relaxing, the stunning Moroccan pendant lanterns, and the warm amber walls surround the vivid cerulean blue pool – the focal point of the garden with palms and orange trees and a center fountain. I work as I travel so I spent some lovely hours at the tiled breakfast tables in the gorgeous courtyard garden working with my clients. My room had beautiful handpainted antique wardrobe and carved table and headboard on the bed. The artwork throughout the Riad is all original local, featuring the life of the medina. The window directly across the room from my bed opened due east where the sunrise greeted me every morning, with a view out across the medina. The angular tetris array of rooftops extends downward toward what I would learn is the heart of the medina where the artisans make their unique generations-old crafts. My other two windows open directly into the courtyard from the 3rd story. The beds, pillows and linens at Riad Layalina are very high quality. The sheets are fresh, white and high thread count! I was impressed. And the bed was exceptionally comfortable. Not at all worn as was my bed at my very nice Riad in Marrakech. The breakfast at Riad Layalina is something to be experienced! Asmae is a chef! I will love to stay here again when I come next year--I came as a guest and left as a friend.

The wifi in my room had issues but they got it fixed!

Der Riad liegt sehr günstig. Medina, Mellah und Königspalast können zu Fuß erreicht werden. Ein Parkplatz ist vorhanden. Das Frühstück war gut und reichlich. Das Personal war freundlich und hilfsbereit.

Die Dusche lässt sich schlecht regeln. Es gibt nur einen Drehknopf. Je weiter man aufdreht, desto wärmer wird es. Wenn man nasse Hände hat, ist das Drehen des glatten Knopfes schwierig. Außerdem gibt es weder Tür noch Vorhang. So spritzt man über die Dusche hinaus.

Brilliant rooftop view over the city Amazing Riad Great rooms Fantastic reception who made us tea on arrival, explained the city to us and read us to a restaurant- ge also printed our boarding oasses Safe motorcycle parking

Finding it! No sign we could see and not obvious Returning from the medina make sure you remember where the side door is. Breakfast 0845 and you need to rebook dinner before arrival

The property was beautiful!

Can’t think of anything.
