Riad Laaroussa

A fabulously restored Riad in the medina. One of a few with a pool. Has quite a design vibe to it. You won’t go far wrong staying there. Our room (Green Suite) was amazing though slightly blighted by tourists peering through the windows as it’s on the found floor overlooking the garden/central courtyard. Breakfast was OK but a bit samey, with the “fresh fruit” consisting of a meagre few pieces of apple and melon. Think thy could do better bearing in mind all the wonderful fruit available in the medina. Dinner was reasonable quality and we took advantage of eating in for 3 nights rather than venturing out at night. Again menu fairly limited but this is in common with other restaurants generally in Morocco. Alcohol is served which is rarer than I had imagined.||We did have a couple of service issues. I did find it odd that having booked a table for dinner on our first night and spa treatments months before arriving, the manager asked me to move the times of both for reasons that weren’t explained. They did honour the bookings in the end but I was left feeling like I was the one at fault! Then when we wanted to book dinner more spontaneously for the other 2 nights we were greeted with sucking of lips….need to check with the chef etc. We agreed on one night to eat at 6.30 to assist the kitchen but restaurant was quiet. All a bit odd. So if you want to eat in book at the time of room reservation and reconfirm nearer the time!

We are on Day 10 of a tour around the beautiful country of Morocco. We have been fortunate to stay at some lovely Riads but Riad Laaroussa is a cut above . Far and beyond the best experience. In no particular order what was great first and foremost the Staff. They were super friendly ,attentive and accommodating. The kind and professional manager( I believe Omar)organized for me to buy a piece of art I wanted.|The location of Riad in Medina was perfect, The Riad itself was so beautiful and comfortable.The restaurant had great views, food and staff.|I highly recommend a stay here.

OUTSTANDING!!!! To a person the staff were exceptional-- personable, helpful, humorous, anticipating what we might need from shade to a mint tea. The finest staff I have met at any accommodation I've stayed at; they clearly want to make every traveler feel welcome.||Rooms are spacious and unique. There are many smaller common areas to relax in hidden throughout the Riad. The rooftop is a fabulous place to relax, enjoy breakfast, an afternoon lemonade and dinner as the sun sets. The Hamman was excellent. I cannot imagine a better place to stay while in Fez.

Tis Riad is one of the best in Morocco, has an inviting ambiance, we loved the mix of traditional and modern comfort very well done. Location is excellent, also they have staff to pick you up outside of the medina, making easy on transport your luggage. The staff is magnificent, started with Othmane, manager , he went out of is way to make sure that you are comfortable and happy. As well Ghita , Marwa and Hajar by the reception are exceptional. The staff working in the restaurant, serving breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack are superb, Fatima, Mustafa, Zack, Mohamed and the rest thank you for such it great service. We had massage by Fatima and Baria excellent!!!!!. and we enjoyed very much the pool We recommend this riad without hesitation.

The website and photos do not do this place justice. Its a spectacular Riad with interesting taste blending modernism and classic Moroccan architecture. I found the recommendation from Tablet Hotels and wondered if it would be as good as they suggested and it definitely was! The staff was super helpful and polite, they delivered food service to the many nook and cranny areas of the Riad. there are several lounges aside from the courtyard and pool, you can use them all.

Here’s a shorter glowing review, keeping all the key highlights:||⸻||Riad Laaroussa is an absolute gem in the heart of the Fez medina. The location is perfect – steps from the souks yet wonderfully peaceful once inside. The riad itself is stunning, with beautifully designed rooms, a serene courtyard filled with citrus trees, and a rooftop terrace offering unbeatable views over the city and not too forget the fabulous pool to chill by. ||The real highlight, though, is the staff. Warm, attentive, and genuinely caring, they made our stay feel incredibly special. Riad Laaroussa isn’t just accommodation – it’s an unforgettable experience.

Booked a hammam with massage (1.5hrs in total). |This was our First time trying hammam. Not use to the heat but our body adjusted after several minutes of being inside the heated marble room. |Massage was good and pressure was perfect to my liking. Hope it was longer. |After our treatment we went upstairs for complimentary green tea. Great view of the medina. |We decided to have a light meal - grilled calamari and fish of the day. Tasted great! |Will do it again when we return to Fez

We stayed there in February 2025 during Ramadan. Everything in the hotel looks way better in person than shown in pictures. Very artistic and casual elegant. Very clean. Impeccable service. After sunset, the staff invited us into the kitchen and shared their feast with us. The food was amazing and the genuine hospitality was one of the highlights of our trip! The court yard is beautiful, the pool is zen, and the rooftop is peaceful and has amazing views of the city. We wish to return for a longer stay and highly recommend this hotel!!
