Riad Laaroussa

Our Room at the Riad was incredibly gorgeous. The bathroom was super clean and huge. The included breakfasts were exceptional. We loved this Riad. It was quirky, but traditional, with history, and ambiance. The staff were very friendly, and we loved the dining room staff. They work so hard, and we found the views at the top during dinner or lunch were incredible, and magical. The pool area was perfect as well. Pretty, and also quiet and private which I liked. No diners looking out at you as you swim which I appreciated. You have to climb stairs to get to the dining area, but thats also part of the charm. Its a work out as the stairs dont conform in size, but once you get to the roof top, it is worth those stairs. We also had stairs to our room. I would suggest if you have physical issues to get a room on the main floor.. I loved that the Riad gave you a little booklet with staff names, and information on the Riad, and food information etc. That was really helpful. We also loved that we could get a glass of wine on the rooftop. So nice at the end of the day to relax with wine or beer which is sometimes difficult to find in Morocco. Fes did have a few places to have a drink of the alcohol variety, but some were super spendy, so we did love to sit at the rooftop of our Riad with our wine in the evening. I also loved that the Riad was environmentally conscious and suggested the use of their water rather than bringing in plastic water bottles. This is an issue in Morocco, as restaurants etc automatically give you bottled water with meals etc. Too much plastic, and waste, so it was good that this Riad is aware of all of that. Our room was the Gray Room, and it was many stairs but oh so worth it. The bed was incredibly comfortable. We loved our room. I highly recommend this Riad in Fes. Fun location as well, right in the medina.

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!

A wonderful oasis in the midst of Fez - stunningly decorated with a beautiful rooftop terrace and very comfortable rooms. The staff are very attentive - we had a wonderful time exploring the city but loved refreshing ourselves by popping back for a mint tea on the roof before our next expedition! The hammam was a delight too with such friendly staff and very good value compared to others we saw in Marrakech. Since it was January, we also loved the little seating area by our room with a wood fire, kept regularly burning - a great place to relax after dinner. We only used the pool once but it’s a great size and lovely to lounge next to!

This property is a gem! Behind an unassuming entry, this Riad feels like a palace, with a serene tiled courtyard with a fountain and trees. Our room was extremely comfortable, the restaurant and food excellent, and the property offered many areas for relaxation and enjoyment, including a Hammam. We felt we received extremely good value for the money. But what set this Riad apart from all the others we stayed in were the staff. Without exception, they were warm, helpful, knowledgeable, and professional. They made our stay in Fez one we will always remember with a smile.

The owner has done a remarkable job restoring the Riad to its original charm. The décor, especially the red room, was stunning, and every common space had its own unique character. From the reception area to the salon, we truly appreciated the artistic details. Surrounded by trees and water features, the atmosphere was serene and peaceful. The food was excellent as well. My wife and I regret not leaving a tip before we rushed off to catch our flight, but we look forward to returning—and this time, we’ll be sure to thank the staff properly.
