The place is beautyfull, well appointed, but... first of all, it's at the rear edge of the Medina and far from the new city... just forget the possibility to walk to a non-moroccan restaurant. The staff hardly speaks english (forget about spanish), at some hours nobody speaks anything but arab and some french, specially at night. In general staff is... more

We only stayed in Riad El Yacout for one night. We arrived late, around 10PM. Having called ahead, and requested dinner, everything went as planned. We had a delicious Moroccan meal, and very much enjoyed staying there. Overall excellent experience. more

The architecture, moaics, anitiques, and furniture focus on the garden (riad-patio). If you have the slightest opportunity to enjoy time in this Riad, you should sieze it. We have seen many places, in our travels to over forty countries. The "Tree House" in Namibia was more novel, over looking the roofs of Venice amazingly charming, and a villa in Cyprus... more

I cannot rave enough about this place. I am sure everyone loves their Riad experience but this place was amazing. Lovely courtyard, beautiful rooms, and really helpful and friendly staff. The breakfasts were delicious; lots of Moroccan pastry-type items, yogurt, juice, milk, coffee, and an egg each morning. We ate one “dinner” there of just salads (our request for a... more

We had expected a beautiful Riad with great service -- what we got was a a three star facility and one star service (in fact self service at most times). The Riad is located in a strange location -- we needed to walk down a muddy alley. Then, surprisingly, only one guy available to help with bags for 8 people.... more

We stayed here quite by chance and found it one of the most beautiful riads we visited in Fes. The staff were all very courteous and helpful, the rooms beautifully appointed and you were treated like royalty. For me the only negatives are: 1. The pool had only a couple of hours of sun on it in the morning as... more

I stayed at this riad for two nights in May of 2008 as part of an organized tour. The stay at the riad was delightful; it definitely felt authentic, glamourous, and exotic. The room itself was a bit small (rooms 11-19 are smaller rooms). That said, the room was clean, had functional air conditioning, and a flat screen TV that... more

We arrived directly from Casablanca, after having just flown in. The Riad, was candlelit, with a gorgeous old tiled courtyard, and huge gold and red, couches with bolsters and pillows, and tables in which to eat or drink. There were also other rooms, where you could lounge. There was a small pool in the back that we did not use.... more

A most enjoyable stay where we were made very welcome. This was our first experience of Moroccan hospitality and we were not disappointed. The ambiance, service and food were first class. The Riad is in an excellent location for exploring the old Medina in Fes. We shall be back. more
