Dar 7 Louyat

Changed my room to the first floor on arrival when I requested which was much appreciated.

Had booked the ground floor without knowing it had no windows

Clean lounge, beautiful decor, nice terrace, lovely bathroom and shower, clean bedding, heating Sufyan was very accommodating during our stay - it wouldn’t have been the same without him!

Streets leading up to the property and rubbish

It is hard to rate this riad because the whole experience was tainted by the fact that it is located at the end of a dead end alley of more than 200 meters. Lonely Planet mentions the 7 turns to reach it (it is well signed by the riad, look for the logo on each turn) but fails to mention you have to walk to a dead end (that gets narrower in the end) We stayed here a month after the earthquake and though Fes was not affected it was in our minds the fact that houses could crumble down on us along the alley, the only way out. We didn’t feel very safe going around and coming back to the riad at night. There was nothing suspicious on the way (apart from a man who was always hanging out half way) but the fact that once in the alley there was no escape made us feel vulnerable. We then enjoyed dinner in the riad both nights. The food was delicious, abundant and freshly cooked. The riad is nice and well maintained, the room was nice though lights were too dim. We had a good breakfast, served in the patio and on the roof terrace.

The location at the end of a long dead end alley. The plunge pool on the roof was not open (I’m still not sure if it’s a plunge pool or just a fountain) The guy at the reception speaks English but he doesn’t seem to understand it very well. He organized a guide to show us around one morning but somehow when the guide was confirmed the price went from 40 euros to 60. When we came back he told us that 60 was for a full day (we never asked for a full day, not even through the messages on booking). The guide was knowledgeable and knew the city well but when we gave him 60 euros he just took them and didn’t told us it was 40 (you don’t need to tip on top of the price) He showed us the street signs that indicate dead end alleys all around the medina.

Beautiful traditional Riad

Our room was a bit dark.

Fatima was helpful and breakfast was good.

The bed sheets were stained so were the towels and when i told them about it they said its rust from the washing machine. Staff partied with guests till 1 am and when i complained about the noise i was told they were French friends of the owner. But they did stop being loud. Rooms were too dark. I asked for large double bed. Got two twins next to each other during sleep they would move which made it hard to sleep

Difficult to find, but the staff arranges everything to make it easier. We had a taxi pick us up at the train station through the riad, which left us in a nearby square. At the square there was a member of the staff waiting for us to take us through de medina and to guide us to the riad. When we got there we were amazed by the riad and the view from the terrace

fantastic hospitality and super friendly staff!

can’t complain :)

Extremely nice riad, staff and an excellent dinner (as good as any other I had in Morocco, including at noted restaurants)

Hard to find location

Absolutely worth it. Amazing property located in the hearth of Fez. Staff is so friendly and welcoming. Will definitely go back next time in Fez.

The riad and room were beautiful. What you have to walk through to get there HORRIBLE. Don’t trust google maps for the location, it gives u the wrong info, directions. For example Place Seffarine shows is 10 minutes waking one direction, and literally u walk 1 minute towards another direction and u are there.
