Riad Laaroussa, Fez

It’s spectacular. Our room was fit for a sultan. Divine swimming pool. Two pet turtles. And endlessly helpful staff.

Nothing

Beautiful, friendly staff, delicious food, excellent communication and tour coordination.

Nothing we disliked

One of the best Riads that I stayed in Morocco. Lovely staff and the property is very special.

Really nice and clean! Staff is exceptionally welcoming

Beautifully keep and clean. Really the best and most impressive place available.

Lovely staff making use most welcome. Great pool needed after walks in Medina and food excellent. Lots of places to relax in the evening.

Food was good could have been excellent/.

All of the staff was lovely and accommodating. Reception arranged guides, drivers and outings efficiently and transparently regarding pricing. The blue room was well appointed, spacious and comfortable and the additional shared seating area was an added bonus. Beautiful architecture. Breakfast was delicious and filling.

The size and number of stairs would be challenging for anyone with difficulties/limitations as there is no elevator.

Everything! I can’t recommend this location highly enough! Absolutely stunning from the courtyard to the pool to the rooftop dining!! We were treated like royalty although we are far from it. The staff helped us with everything - booking the taxi, directions around the Medina. We even booked a hammam with them and were not disappointed. I will tell anyone going to Fes to stay here. You won’t be disappointed- guaranteed!

If I have to pick something, the air conditioner had a little trouble keeping up with the summer heat, but it’s summer in Morocco, so that’s to be expected.

Beautiful riad Lovely pool Staff were very helpful

Nothing it was all great

The riad is stunning and it has the perfect combination between historic and contemporary chic.

Honestly nothing!

We highly recommend Riad Laaroussa. Simply put, the hotel is amazing, the staff is friendly and helpful, and the food is excellent. First, the website pictures do not do the hotel justice. The beautiful old wood door leads into a large, tree filled courtyard with comfortable seating areas to relax (or play cards with your family!). Look for Paul and Paula, the resident turtles, who wander around adorably. The pool is a wonderful spot - particularly on hot days in June! Second, the staff helped us with everything including getting tours (Fes medina walk, trip to Volubilis Roman ruins (thanks for the great trip, Omar!), and the transfer to Casablanca when we left). Service was excellent - friendly and helpful. Finally, dinner on our first night was excellent and the breakfasts were yummy (try the Khlea meat omelet - yum!) with jams, breads (they even had gluten free bread for us) and fresh juice. Both are served on the rooftop with views of the city. Amazing. If you have been traveling for a while and need to refresh your clothing, an added bonus at Riad Laaroussa has a same day in-house laundry service! Fes's Souk (market) is our favorite in Morocco (Marrakech a close 2nd) - and when we come back, we'll absolutely stay at Riad Laaroussa again!

Everything about this Riad is perfect - location, architecture, staff, accommodation, food, rooftop terrace and restaurant, swimming pool and sun beds, spa and hammam! All the staff are absolutely fantastic, taking great care of their guests and ensuring you have a memorable stay. A special thanks to Hazar, Rita, Malik in reception, and Hiba, Zach and Otthman, for always serving our refreshments with a smile, and, of course, congratulations to chef Izmil and all the ladies in the kitchen for your culinary excellence - we love your cheesecake! We will definitely return again soon!

We can not rate and rave about Riad Laaroussa enough- it was superb in every way. Loved to central location, were blown away by the interiors and our Terrace room was sensational. The staff were so helpful and personal. The Hamman and massage were exceptional.

Loved it all

This place is just stunning! Safe and super clean, the stuff are aso friendly they go above and beyond to make you feel at home! Zach and Iva from the restaurant where so nice and very good at their job!

Hidden gem and oasis in the Medina. Lovely and hospitable staff always willing to assist.

An excellent Riad in a very good location. We had a wonderful time staying in this Riad with a comfortable bed in a tastefully arranged and beautifully decorated room. We had dinner for two nights and the food was excellent with one night on the rooftop terrace with a panoramic view and the beautiful sunset. The breakfast was excellent and nicely presented. We had hammam and it was wonderful experience. I highly recommend this Riad.

Nothing.

all was great , the staff the room the service and the location also the bistrot

The staff was exceptional. They were always willing to help with whatever need they arise. We had a early flight so they arranged for a early breakfast just for us. They helped us with daily trips directions and just were overall exceptional. The room was very comfortable and hard to believe we were sleeping in a place that was probably around 300 years old. we loved all the terraces and quiet nook and places you could go to read a book or just sit and relax. The views from the rooftop were amazing!

There was nothing not to like.

Lovely property. Very attractive spaces from main courtyard area to roof terraces where you could eat and enjoy great views of Fes. Rooms spacious with modern baths and great showers.

Nothing

Beautiful stay in the heart of the medina. Would definitely return!

Member of staff from the Riad met us at the taxi drop-off point to walk us through the twisting streets of the Medina - he kindly carried our bags for us after a long train from Marrakesh. The Riad itself felt like an oasis, very calm and quiet with a beautiful courtyard. Our room wasn't lacking any amenity we needed. The terrace upstairs was hugely relaxing and the sun beds and pool (heated) area were incredibly relaxing with fresh towels and drinks services from the attentive staff. Breakfast was fantastic with freshly made items, fruit salads and juices, even providing a 'breakfast bundle' to take with us for our early flight. We didn't have enough time to try the dinner but from other reviews and the other guests it sounded great as well. The main positive was how welcoming and kind the staff were. We were accompanied back to the taxi drop off site outside when we left.

A beautiful setting with high attention to detail across the rooms and spaces to chill out in. From the delicious breakfast, to the on-site spa facilities and gorgeous rooftop views, this hotel has it all. The staff could not have been friendlier and we would love to come back.

The accommodations are great, location wonderful, staff was excellent. I'd definitely stay here again.

This is the perfect Riad. It has 13 rooms, a good restaurant and heated swimming pool. Everything was clean and the property is well maintained. I would definitely recommend it to friends.

Nothing..

Beautiful restored riad in excellent location within the Medina. Staff were really helpful and always enthusiastic. Very well organised reception who helped plan our stay and booked tours as we needed. Our Room was lovely and huge, with working fireplace that was lit each evening for us as requested. Very confortable beds and lovely view of courtyard below. Easy communication with reception using What’s ap from our rooms. They dealt with any queries we had promptly. Booked our restaurants for dinner each night. We also had dinner at the bistro at Laaroussa which served a delicious Moroccan/french menu. The Riad also organised our transport to the airport in Casablanca. We were driven by Omar who was very professional and helpful. A lovely stay. We love Riad Laaroussa’s commitment to sustainability with no single use plastics . Would highly recommend this riad.

Water pressure of showers was sometimes poor during peak times but understandable in the middle of the Medina
