“Wouldn't Change A Thing...”

Riad Laaroussa

Feb 26, 2008

We were looking for a place in which we could do nothing but read, peacefully and comfortably, under what we were hoping would be some February sunshine. The great weather was just our good luck, but everything else was down to Fred and his team. They have created a haven in the middle of the medina. This was not 5* luxury in the sense that some travellers on a slightly higher budget may have come to expect - it was more than that: a home from home, and with the most friendly, charming and hospitable people available to take care of you. Finally, don't be fooled by the photos of the rooms on the website: this was not just the work of an excellent photographer - the rooms really are as amazing as they look...We'll definitely be returning.

Awesome, awesome riad. Located in the heart of the medina. Everyone at the riad was very warm, friendly and hospitable. My friend and I even got a room upgrade! The rooms, decor and riad are amazing - a palatial paradise hidden in the alleyways of Fes. Great food and the rooftop dining/lounge area affords great views of the town. Getting to the riad was an adventure too - so just be prepared for that. We had a cab lead us to a closeby parking lot where we met the proprietors & they then led us into the Riad. Sounds kind of funny but that was really the better way of getting directions.

“Oasis Nirvana”

Riad Laaroussa

Jan 29, 2008

An oasis where peaceful harmony prevails. Fred and staff make you feel like this is your home and they are there simply to make your stay fabulous. The food is sublime and the Moroccan almond cookies...yum. I want to return today.

“Closer to heaven!”

Riad Laaroussa

Jan 25, 2008

If you go to Fes or to any other imperial city in Morocco, staying inside the Medina is a must. Now staying at Riad Laaroussa, is one of the best experiences we had in this wonderful country. When we arrived at Laaroussa and found this incredible patio with a palace look, we could not keep our mouth shut. Simply stunning. We walked up the big stone stairs to our Red Room and felt that 3 nights was going to be to short to enjoy such a paradise. We recommend dining at the main patio close to the orange trees and enjoy their delicious breakfasts at the roof deck. Fred (the owner) is a super host and made us feel at home. Service is excellent. Just don´t miss the experience.
