Nothing, everything was perfect.

The location of the property, inside the old town of Fes, is the best for someone who wants to feel hospitality at a Riad and enjoy wandering around the narrow paths of the old town. Our host was fantastic, very friendly and caring. He helped us with all the transportation that we needed, even when we were at a difficult situation (we needed a transfer at a very busy hour) we called him and he found a solution at no time. The breakfast was the best that we had during our trip in Morocco. Our driver was the best! We truly enjoyed the rides!

Grazie 1000 Ayoub and Soufiane! The two jung guys and their collaborators give the stay in their Riad a friendly and relaxed experience! We had a very good time with them, they are simpatic and reliable at the same time. It was hard to leave them. We sprongly recomnd the riad, and hope to come soon again! Ciao Vincenzo

It was our second stay in Dar 7 Layout and we still loved it. The riad is beautiful, staff (Sufyan and Ayoub) very kind, breakfast is good and diner great. Rooms are comfy and pretty large. The architecture of the riad is the best of all the riads (10+) I visited in Morocco.

Had booked the ground floor without knowing it had no windows

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

Beautiful traditional Riad

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

Hard to find location

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

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.

The house was beautiful and service was great. The managers go out of their way for you and the location is historical. Their dinner is also very good.

This was such a wonderful hotel! When you come out of the little alley it's breathtaking inside! So tastefully finished with traditional and modern mixed. But what made it so memorable was the quality of service provided by Sufyan and the rest of the team. They went above and beyond on all levels, from meeting us to show us the way, having tea waiting, cooking us a special meal and being so helpful and friendly. Not intrusive, but the perfect amount of support. We're looking forward to seeing them all again!

Excellent property. It's beautiful inside and the rooms are unique and comfortable. The managers Sufyan and Younus are both very helpful and friendly. They also helped with transport to and from the airport and arranging a last minute day tour for us. Would stay here again if/when I come back to Fes!

The street to enter the property is tricky and seems dangerous to a western eye. To be clear , riads of this stature are often off the beaten path. The manager met me at the taxi drop off and escorted me in the first time, going out of his way. Done once, it was easy to find again. Look high up for signage with Dar Logo.

stunning riad in the heart of the Medina. The staff could not have been more helpful and the meals they prepared were the highlight of my trip!

- Due to the location you could smell the tanneries sometimes - the riad is very hard to find at first, but in general Fès is a city with a lot of very small and narrow streets, so you will get used to it :D

This is a hidden gem. The riad is exceptionally beautiful, the suite was spacious and comfortable with traditional decoration and art. The food was fantastic (one of the best we had during our Morocco trip) and the best of all was the rooftop with a breath-taking view over the Medina. Wow! We will come here again

For my purposes it was a little too far to other areas. However, it is really close to many tourist attractions.

Stunning Riad! Exceptional art and quality furnishings.

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.

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 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

Fatima was helpful and breakfast was good.
