Dar Lys Luxury Riad & Spa

Cutest little 5 star hotel in Fez. Superb breakfast, they bring you the Moroccan breakfast to your table and we enjoyed everything. The rooms are small but well appointed and very cute. Walking distance to the old town. You can walk to a number of places in the old town from here. This is a gem of a place.

This review may be unusual as we ultimately didn’t stay at Dar Lys on our recent trip to Fes. But I wanted to share the very positive experience we had in dealing with the team at Dar Lys. They were exceptionally helpful and professional in communicating with us prior to our trip, in suggesting itineraries and day trips and in helping to organise our transport. Mourad especially went out if his way to help, much more than one had any reason to expect (thank you). Also, we ate in their restaurant at the end of our stay, the best meal of our trip, great service too, highly recommended.

This beautiful Riad provided us a clean room and welcoming staff. The breakfast that was provided was plentiful! I also enjoyed the spa downstairs which allowed me to experience a traditional hammam massage. I would definitely return when back in Fez!

The Riad is a well-established hotel tradition in Morocco. We stayed in some very nice ones, but the Dar Lys in Fez is not one of them. All the rooms were located around a stone and marble courtyard, which means that the noise from the diners below continued deep into the night. Also, for some reason this riad insists on blasting pop music at all hours, day and night. I really don’t appreciate having Celine Dion singing in my room when we are trying to get some rest. What’s more, the beds are very hard; it took several layers of comforters to make the bed somewhat conducive to sleep. There are other riads in Fes with a more restful ambience; I suggest you keep looking.

Been there for a wedding and cannot say anything less than amazing!! Is quite a different level compared to the other Riad in Fez and the staff is always ready to help and always smiling. They find for me and my family a guide to visit the old Fes the next day and helped us with the print of the birding pass for the airport. The food is special and the location too!! Make sure to invite friends with you and enjoy the atmosphere!!

Dar Lys is a new and beautiful Riad. Unfortunately it has lots of growing pains. Our room accommodations were nice, but we were a bit put out when a woman entered our room that was not part of the staff. The open air courtyard is lovely when you are part of the area. Unfortunately, all the rooms above the courtyard can hear every word in the courtyard. When trying to sleep, we could hear chairs and tables being moved and people yelling all night. Hopefully they will get this noise problem down as the accommodations are lovely.
