    Expect some street noise until late in the evening as everyone is close in Fez.

    The staff were excellent and the property was full of character . It was very convenient to the Blue Gate entrance to the Medina and you could get a taxi to the door. Breakfast was great and dinner was very nice (ensure you are hungry) and it is well located for other quality and good value places to eat.

    It was a great pleasure to stay at Riad Dar Laura: superb location (you won’t be lost in Medina, easy to find, close to the entrance to Medina and to various cafes and restaurants), very clean, super delicious breakfast, high level of hospitality and service. In reality it was even better than in photos. You feel the family type of business from the day one: everything is done with great love.

    The Absolute Perfect Riad on Fes’s Medina edge!

    No negatives- Continued review- I recommend pajamas & winter jacket as the room and interior of the Riad gets cool yet the bedding was warm & pajamas are not needed. The bathroom was comfortably warm but fogs with a lasting humidity from your shower if the bathroom doors are not open. A wall ac unit is available for the summer. Breakfast is served to you in the morning. Sit down, enjoy your coffee as an assortment of goods are brought to your table along with fresh pressed orange juice. Dinner is available at the Riad as well, make your request & book ahead so they can prepare. On the edge of the Medina, perfectly located to get in & out of the city easily & quickly. Quiet!!! Taxis just around the corner along with atm, currency exchange, convenience shops and easy access restaurants to include Cinema Cafe- excellent camel burger & very good simple menu with fair pricing. We are a pair of well experienced & researched travelers. We can only recommend. Enjoy your stay at Riad dar Laura & well wishes to their future!!!

    During the time of our visit, March 2024, the Riad had only been open five months. Mohammed, part owner was exceptionally caring. The Riad is entirely restored & renovated with meticulous attention to detail. The woodwork is absolutely beautiful along with the detailed Moorish plasterwork. Truly a work of art to enjoy. A warm, friendly staff to assist you with your needs and a special thanks to Imane, office manager, who helped with my many questions. Communication by message was excellent! On arrival, you are invited to relax with freshly brewed mint tea in the beautiful common room. Rooftop terrace to relax, enjoy a mint tea or dine with a great view over the city’s edge. A nice elevator on the premises. All tours/ experiences/ transport can be booked by Riad dar Laura as well as restaurants & guides to take you to your restaurants. Airport transports were reasonably priced, booked ahead & on time. We had a 2am departure that went smoothly. We requested a Medina guide for sights & quality shopping. We had Mohammed, (TripAdvisor: The Best Fes Guide,) with a lifetime of experience growing up in the Medina. You will be well taken care of. We also had a day trip to Volubilis, Moulay Idriss & Meknes with a private driver. My only recommendation for tours, ask the Riad who to pay at the end of your tour! We booked the last room available, the deluxe room. Unaware on our arrival, we were upgraded to the Superior Queen Room- Ghita. Gorgeous & large comfortable space on the main floor for easy access. Lovely bathroom with a large counter space, a blowdryer, shower & excellent lighting. Firm, comfortable mattress with three pillow choices for all sleeping needs and beautiful, comfortable linens. Two electrical outlets on each bedside with more available in the room. A lounging space with sumptuous couch upholstery and pillows with a light switch for brighter lighting in the nook- you’d miss the switch if you weren’t looking.

    An excellent hotel that exceeded all expectations! Old, wide and beautiful riad. Feeling like in a fairy castle. Very welcoming staff. This Riad was definitly superior to the four other riads we stayed in during our trip to Morocco, which were also good.

    Stunningly beautiful Riad. Staff were incredibly friendly and extremely welcoming. Our room, "Radia" was amazing! Very comfortable bed, seating area, separate changing room, huge shower and twin sinks. Highly recommend the delicious dinner and the included breakfast was fantastic. Superb location to explore the Medina. Cannot recommend Riad Dar Laura highly enough. Absolutely fantastic.

    A very small issue, and a personal preference, but the pillows were quite hard. But we have learned that this seems to be a Moroccan thing!

    Fabulous riad, beautiful building in a great location. Clean and very well presented. Staff were incredibly hospitable, helpful and friendly. Food was delicious. It was a pleasure to stay at Riad Dar Laura. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again or recommend to friends.

    Nothing, really.

    We really loved our stay. A beautiful place, a great room, breakfast included, dinner for purchase if you want it, restaurants and sites in every direction. It's on the edge of the medina, so an easy place to explore from. We were greeted as we arrived and had a chance to ask questions, plan for the next day, etc. This was our first stop in Morocco, so that really helped. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay.

    As with most old houses in morocco they are not well insulated and therefore you do here the noise from other guests or the street. Also the breakfast could be a bit yummier, but all in all it is great value

    Amazing staff that bring you in their hearts from the first moment and were exceptional in their service. The place is recently renovated and super beautiful and in the heart of the city. I wish to return to riad de laura soon

    In the night you could hear some noise in the street but this was not very inconvenient.

    The location is perfect - in medina but you can reach the place by car and park the car 150m from the hotel safely. All interesting places in medina are in walking distance. The riad is large and has many rooms but at the same time you do not feel presence of the other people. It is nicely designed in a traditional way but it also has modern facilities like the lift inside. The rooms and the bed are very convenient. The team was always very nice and helpful and you could always feel owners hospitality. Breakfasts - excellent. Overall this is in my view clear 10.
