Superior riad

This is like those historic Moorish palaces you might visit, fillled with intricate carved walls, painted ceiling beams and elaborate tilework, but here in pristine, almost-new condition. It's like stepping into another world, a gorgeous one. Staff overflows with kindness and attention. You want to stay here.

This place is an oasis in a busy Fes Medina area. We stayed here for a few days in July with our children. The staff were welcoming and encouraged us to treat it as our own home. We enjoyed the quietnesses of the courtyard with our nightly Moroccan tea ritual. The kids loved Paul and Paulette - the courtyard tortoises. Pictures do not do this place justice. You must experience it for yourself. We really felt at peace and our only regret is that we didn’t stay longer. Choukran, Riad Laaroussa and all the people that make this place special.

Great Riad

This charming riad features a stunning, centrally-located garden and a rooftop restaurant offering picturesque views. However, please note the absence of elevators. The staff were exceptionally pleasant and attentive. First-time visitors might find navigating to the Riad somewhat challenging. The riad offers a service of a private porter and transportation from the station for 150 DH (approximately 15 USD).

The staff at the Riad are phenomenal. They helped us to arrange a tour with a local guide who helped get us oriented to the biggest Medina, shared the history, took us places that we were interested in and took some great photos. The staff also recommended good food, gave us a map and noted all areas specific to our interest, and got us signed up for spa services including our first hamman experience. This place is also just clean and beautiful, an oasis in they Medina to rest, recover and feel pampered.

The spa is also great and you feel rejuvenated after the hammam. The restaurant is good and their tiramisu is top tier! Highly recommended.

Fantastic Riad and Hospitality

Stunning Riad in the heart of the Medina in Fes. The pictures do not do this property justice. Simply amazing. Beautiful renovation. Fantastic staff and food. Thoughtful touring advice. Great spaces to relax and explore within the grounds. Beautiful pool. Feels like staying in the opulent house of 19th century noble but with modern conveniences and service.

Excellent, a must stay! Each room is unique (stayed in Blue & Red rooms.) Laarouossa has an understated mix of authentic Moroccan and eclectic modern design, not decor. Rooftop terrace offers excellent sunrise vistas and delicious food. Staff hospitality far exceeds expectations. Badiaa and Fatima's personal attention are unrivalled. Hidden gem centrally and conveniently located inside the Medina. Hammam was superb. Visit to Children's Library next door, co-owned by Hotel owner, not to be missed.

A perfect place better than the best.

First to enjoy Fez you must stay in the Medina. Then, no better place. This is a 5 star place, service actually beyond that.
The house is beautiful and while Fez is great, you feel sorry every time you leave the Riad. The rooms are gorgeous. The garden is top architectural and serenity like no other place. Even the turtle Paul and the two dogs Ben and Lou are perfect. The terrace on top incredible.
The breakfast as expected from a top hospitality like this.
The hosts make you feel at home. Every single one warm, friendly, professional.

They organized a 1/2 day tour of the city with Momo and was great. Also a full day trip to Schefchowen with Omar that is a must.

I can’t think of anything I could have asked to be better in this place. Perfect.

PS: We stayed in the Orange room. So gorgeous!

Road Laaroussa is gorgeous. We stayed in the Orange suite on the ground floor , opening out to their magnificent central courtyard. The suite was very large with beautiful high ceilings and wonderfully furnished. It was delightful to come home to each day. We had breakfast in the courtyard just outside our suite each day, listening to the birds. Really, it was perfect. Friendly staff . Communication with the owner was excellent throughout.

Fantastic, Incredible, Wonderful and more

This place was over the top! The view from the rooftop was unbelievable. The staff was like a family, all working together as an amazing team. They went above and beyond our expectations for accommodating us, and not one of them seemed \"put off\" in the least when we asked for any help (which we did a few times). The most fantastic things, other than the overall beauty and history of the place, were a pet turtle that walks around the courtyard and the way Malek (one of the amazing staff) rushed to save a small bird that accidentally flew into the pool. I was already convinced this place was magical, but when I witnessed him saving that tiny bird like that, I was over the moon in love with the culture of this riad. It was just terrific in all regards. My 11 year old daughter and I highly recommend it here.

Riad Laaroussa is amazing. It is a beautiful blend of authentic Morocco and French sophistication. The staff is wonderful, the restaurant on the rooftop is delicious (don’t miss couscous Friday if possible) and the Hammam, magical. We highly recommend this hotel to truly enjoy the Fez Medina experience.

This was such a wonderful Riad in the heart of the Médina. Fred and Cathy were incredibly hospitable, friendly, knowledgeable, and didn’t shame us when we accidentally wondered into their home :)

The staff is amazing, the food is excellent, the Spa is relaxing, and the room was large and comfortable. Malek, Karim, and one other gentleman were so helpful with all our requests from making dinner reservations to facilitating a fantastic guide and a driver to our next travel destination. It was truly an unbelievable experience and a place I hope to visit again in the future! 5 star experience in one of the coolest and most interesting cities!

There is nothing about Riad Laaroussa that is not excellent or more!!
The most helpful and kind people that exist on the planet. The hotel is GORGEOUS. Location perfect. Dinner was superb. We had wonderful, relaxing massages at the end of shopping in the intriguing Medina with a guide provided by the hotel. I lack the words to say how great the entire experience was. I want to live there. Thank you from the heart to Badiia for all your help.

Fabulous for hippies

First, this place is a fifteen minute walk into a maze of ancient alleys. You must have a way to communicate your arrival to the hotel staff so they can meet you with a luggage cart and guide. The road itsel has luxurious courtyard and rooftop, but the rooms are pretty basic. Like cement floors. Way less nice than the Web site pics look. Do not bother with higher prices ones. They are all pretty basic. But do stay here for the wonderful public spaces. The jasmine was in bloom. Lovely. Now, dinner us way overpriced but convenient. Seriously, three nice phylo appetizers, some chicken stew and a brownie for thirty dollars. Food is cheap and good hereso do t waste your money on dinner. We did have them arrange a tour guide who was great and only forty dollars all day. A final note: if you have problems with stairs this is not for you! Stairs are steep and plentiful. Hotel is a maze of levels. But if you like mountain climbing this hotel is good training. So we did love it but just know rooms are really spartan. Don’t be fooled by pics on web.

Amazing riad in Fes.

There is nothing I don’t love about this place. The riad is a beautiful oasis in the middle of the medina craziness. But what I loved the most is the staff. They really go out of their way to make you feel like family. They are absolutely amazing. I almost cried when I left because I was going to miss them so much. We ate dinner at their restaurant two night and the food was really good. They have two lively dogs, Ben and Lou and they are very sweet. We loved loved loved por stay here and we highly highly highly recommend it to anyone. Best experience in Morocco.

Dreaming Stay in Fez

What a wonderful location, magnificent property, unbelievable and lovely people.

We arrived in Casablanca they arrange everything for our pickup, our flight was late and we got into Fez around 11pm. But guess what, our dinner was waiting for me and my family in a beautiful setting close to the chimney, everybody was waiting for us they do not rush us, we took our dinner, they insisted for us to have dessert and take our coffe, they were concern that we had a long day.
We ask for what time will be breakfast serve next morning, thier answer come down any time we will be ready for you...... this what I call service ...... sorry did I forget to tell you that the site is amazing!

Great Medina Riad

Riad Laaroussa is, bar none and without hyperbole, the best hotel I have ever stayed in. Our travel to the riad had been quite rocky and I have never experienced a hotel so accommodating and helpful (they picked us up from the train station at 2am!). The suites are all beautiful, and our Grey Suite was unparalleled in it's decor, comfort, and view. Meals are prepared individually from fresh market food, and the staff is unlike anything you will experience elsewhere. I cannot give them a rating as high as they deserve. Do yourself a favor: stay in the medina and do so at Riad Laaroussa.

An oasis in Chaos

A wonderful place in the middle of it all. Once you step behind the doors the walls provide amamzing privacy and quiet. Inside is a gorgeous central garden and another exists behind the building with a beautiful pool. The staff can't do enough for you. The most helpful group of employees I have ever seen. The restaurant was the best food of all of the places that we went to (and we went to what was recommended as the best) and it definitely had the best view looking out onto the Medina. Can not recommend this place enough - it is a holiday onto itself.

Beautiful, Urban Oasis

The Laaroussa Riad is one of the most lovely, relaxing, and beautiful places I have stayed in my many years of global travel. The staff was friendly and welcoming from the moment they came to collect our luggage to the last second we walked out the door and to our awaiting transport to Casablanca. The staff took excellent care of us and booked our dinner reservations, tours, and transport. They attended to our every need. We had a traditional session in the Riad's own Hammam which was wonderful and relaxing, and facilitated by their lovely, welcoming staff. Our dinner on the rooftop our first night was deliciously amazing with stunning views of the surrounding Fez landscape. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the pool, and in our stunning and perfectly appointed room (the Green Suite). The suite was perfect to accommodate the 3 of us that were traveling. The Laaroussa is lovely and amazing, it is worth traveling around the world just to have this experience. It is a \"must do\" in Fez if you can.

Quality and Top Notch Service at this Riad

Beautiful riad, wonderful food and the best staff! Anything you needed was just a call away. The hammam on site was also great. We had massages and hammam treatments. Perfect for couples. From the rooftop dining to the private pool, you will not be disappointed. Note that there is a 5 minute walk to and from the riad through the bustling medina. For first timers this might be off putting, but go with it. You'll be in good hands with the porter.

Excellent Stay - Outstanding Location

Stayed with my mom and sister at this fantastic Riadh in the Blue room. It really is more like a castle. We are from Tunisia and are familiar with some of the Arabesque/Moorish decor but were still amazed. The Architecture, the space and the very elegant decor was great. The interior design is outstanding and the feel is very authentic. We stayed at the Blue room and it was perfect for the 3 of us. The bathroom looks like a museum.

The perfect Oasis in Fez: Simply wonderful

In short: if you're coming to Fez, stay here. It's a stunning family-run hotel, that stands out with its incredible service and beautiful setting. We'd never been to Morocco and we stayed three nights at the beginning of our morocco trip. When we went to the next city and hotel all we could think about was how much we missed Riad Larroussa and all the staff (they really make you feel like family). The staff (from cleaning to manager) go above and beyond with anything you might need as if you were their family. We stayed in the orange room with beautiful intricate high ceilings and the coolest shower. I accidentally cut my toe and the staff immediately came with a first aid kit to bandage it up and make sure I was ok. Also, the moroccan pancakes at breakfast are delicious and the views from the upper levels/terrace/roof are stunning. Dinner is also home cooked and delicious and the chocolate tart was unforgettable. If you're in Fez stay at this hotel. Shout out to Rajae, Malek, and Karim for being so lovely and all the other staff whose names we didn't catch.

Wonderful experience at this Riad

This was our first trip to Morocco and our experience at this Riad made it a very memorable one. The room was a bit small for 3 people but comfortable. We had an issue with our bathroom which took a while to fix - it was a nuisance but not a major problem. The entire staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We had to catch an early morning train to Marrakech and they packed us water and some cookies and fruits which was so thoughtful. We will definitely come back and stay in this Riad again.

Nice Riad in heart of medina

Location is very convenient, close to everything. Hotel design is very pretty. We booked this place after our days in the desert to relax. The pool was very nice, and the dinner on the top terrace had great sunset views. We we loved the most was the 2 big dogs, 1 black and 1 brown, so friendly and cute. There was also 1 cat and 1 turtle in the riad. There's a lot of orange trees in the courtyard and there's a lot of birds flying around the trees. Wonderful experience.

The hotel was wonderful. They messaged us in advance for a pick up at the train station. Then the room was lovely and in a fantastic location. The food was great and the staff was so kind. They knew us by name and it felt like a family. My friend and I got to Marrakesh in another Riad hotel and missed LaRoussa! I will refer this place to anyone!

The breakfast on the terrace was a perfect start , with fresh orange juice and eggs and different types of bread and cakes each day!

Perfection in a restored Riad

Every detail of the restoration of this beautiful property was thought out with care. The interior decoration is superb - understated but still true to Morocco.

from the moment the door was open Badia made our experience one of a Queen. The massage was heavenly! the decor, soft lights, soft music, the staff, rooms with lit candke and incense was superb! the rooftop mornimg breakfast and then a nap on the bed outside on the roof was grand. Karim was also an excellent host. Truly my 36 hrs at the Riad felt like a week vacation. You must stay here when visiting Fes. there is so much more but you have to experience it yourself! :)

A beautiful, quiet, relaxing place to stay. We were given a free upgrade and were treated like the most important guests in the riad. The staff could not have been more friendly and helpful, and the facility is incredible. We had the best breakfasts of our trip to Morocco there. On one of the nights we dined there, they served the most amazing chocolate tart I've ever eaten. (The lamb tagine was also excellent. )

Best place we have ever stayed....honestly!

Fred, Cathy and Thierry say that their aim at Riad Laaroussa is to welcome you into their home and to represent the Moroccan reputation for hospitality. In this they exceed their goal.

The Riad itself is beautiful but the staff are the jewel that makes it so special - from Laarbi who speaks no English but understands everything perfectly and manages to communicate regardless of our skill or lack thereof in Arabic and French, to Badiaa who has the warmest hugs, and Karims warm smile.

Not to mention, if cooking is an art then you will find the chef equivalent of Leonardo Da Vinci in the form of Fatima who produces the most unimaginable delights for the palate.

Then Cathy and Fred's delightful children and the dogs Bella and Lu add to the warm family atmosphere and no matter what we asked nothing was too much trouble. The staff were not only polite, efficient and friendly but were happy to chat and spend time looking at pictures of our pets and home and sharing stories from theirs as though nothing else could be more important to them.

Reda, who used to work at Riad Laaroussa, is now a tourist guide and both knowledgable and proud of his origins. We were blessed to have him show us around. Riad Laaroussa would be enough to bring us back to Fes and though we had only stayed a few days (something to be remedied if we pass this way again - Insha'Allah) I felt quite sad to leave what now felt like long time family and friends. Cannot recommend enough.
