Our stay at Riad Al Yacout in Fes, Morocco, was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, we were enveloped in the warmth and hospitality that this beautiful riad is known for. The architecture and decor are breathtaking, capturing the essence of Moroccan charm and luxury. Each room is uniquely designed, offering comfort and elegance that made our stay exceptionally memorable. What truly sets Riad Al Yacout apart is its incredible staff. They went above and beyond to ensure that our visit was perfect. From offering insightful local recommendations to preparing delicious, authentic Moroccan cuisine, their attention to detail and kindness were unparalleled. The serene courtyard and the rooftop terrace provided the perfect oasis for relaxation after a day of exploring the vibrant city of Fes. I cannot recommend Riad Al Yacout enough. It's not just a place to stay; it's an experience that embodies the best of Moroccan hospitality. Five stars are not enough to rate this extraordinary gem in the heart of Fes. Thank you very much from the Turkish couple.

We spent a week in Fes and this Riad is one of the most atmospheric and historic (14th century) we saw. It is a serene and aurhentic experience with truly warm.and welcoming staff. Bed rooms are spaciously opulent and their Hamman is well worth a visit after a day wandering the Medina. Nice one!

Morroco is still a cash based society so don't plan to get by using bank cards.

Extraordinary riad! The core building is stunningly beautiful with many comfortable common areas and private ones, too (e.g., my room and a small sitting area on the balcony outside my doors). The staff were extraordinary -- my sincere thanks to (alphabetically, insofar as I can spell their names -- my apologies if I fail!) Abdul, Eliash, Hadim, Marcos, Nashua, Yeshem, and Zuhir -- not to mention the staff behind the scenes. Breakfasts were generous and tasty; dinner was wonderful; wine was available. Great location, too, for both foot and taxi exploration of Fez. Superb! Highly recommended!

Advance communication could have been better.

★★★★★ Our stay at Riad El Yacout in Fez was unforgettable! Upon arrival, an employee kindly helped us locate the parking garage, setting the tone for the amazing hospitality we experienced. The staff here were the kindest and most helpful of our entire Morocco trip. The riad's stunning architecture and rich sense of tradition and history left us in awe—it's no surprise that the band U2 stayed here! Our room was spacious and comfortable. The riad is conveniently located near all the attractions we wanted to visit, and we easily walked to the tannery using Google Maps. Highly recommended for an authentic and welcoming experience in Fez!

We had a bit of trouble with the TV, the staff promptly assisted us.

Riad El Yacout was fantastic. Upon arrival we were greeted with Moroccan mint tea and made very comfortable. It is a family business and we were greeted by the son of the owner, whose care for Riad El Yacout and passion for customer service was evident. He helped us arrange an English-speaking tour guide (which I highly recommend in Fez) and scheduled a hammam in the in-house spa (also highly recommend). We felt like family and were treated with so much care. Riad El Yacout is a beautiful, comfortable establishment and I hope to be able to return one day!

I never award a perfect score, but this place earns it. Upon arrival, I received a warm welcome from Ziad, setting a delightful tone from the outset. The Riad's stunning entrance hall immediately captivates, hinting at the excellence within. Frequented by notable personalities, it takes mere minutes to understand why—the tranquility and impeccable architectural design speak volumes. I took the deluxe suite on the first floor. The room's aesthetics, from the elegant glass accents to the carefully selected furniture, exude charm. The bathroom, featuring a classical bath, adds a touch of luxury. Throughout my stay, the sound of the garden fountain provided a soothing backdrop, enhancing the overall ambiance. Conveniently situated within walking distance of the entire medina, navigating its labyrinthine streets was made easier with the assistance of a guide. The Riad arranged for Mohammed, an knowledgeable guide, who enriched my experience with historical insights. Importantly, he avoided tourist traps and ensured any purchases were genuine. A few additional details for future guests: - Parking is available nearby, albeit in the public domain. A 24-hour guard provides security. Given the Medina's narrow streets, navigating to the Riad may require some finesse. - The Wi-Fi is both fast and dependable, catering to the needs of modern traveler's. - The Hammam and Massage experience was well worth it.

Great staff, typical Moroccan style and clean environment

Nothing

This is a beautiful riad well worth seeking out. It dates from the 14th century and has been lovingly restored with all modern conveniences. The staff were warm and welcoming and very helpful with advice and tips. Marcos was especially so. The riad is very handy for the Medina and near a taxi rank for the station and new town. Dinner in the courtyard was very atmospheric with excellent food and some fine local musicians. Bedrooms were spacious and we were upgrades to a delightful suite.

Our stay was hugely enjoyable.

The whole place is stunning & the rooms very spacious. Staff were happy to facilitate our late night swims.

The pricings for extras were both inconsistent & extortionate. One night, a small pot of tea for two cost 25 dh, the next, a smaller pot cost 50. Such practices are not uncommon in Morocco but should be beneath an establishment of this calibre. The average price in Fez for tea is about 10. The most frustrating is the inconsistency and the feeling that prices are made up on the spot depending on who is being served. The small issue of the tea is the difference between an 8 & 10, but it’s the little details that make perfection. A laundry service is offered, €1.50 for underwear & €3 for bigger pieces. We felt it was a bit much.

The Riad was perfectly located and free from the hustle and bustle of the Medina that it sat upon the edge of. However, the best thing was the staff. The attention to detail and the attentiveness was exemplary. Nothing was too much trouble from the moment we arrived to the moment we left.

I have nothing to complain about.
