The riad is beautiful. I had a comfortable room, the service was more than friendly and went out of the way to help me get to my various trips, and even arranged a ride to the airport for me at 5 am. I didn't have the pleasure of dining there for anything more than breakfast, but even that was delicious.

First and foremost, the finest service and staff around! We are grateful to Marcos, Obama, Elias, Hassania, and all the staff behind the scenes who made our stay exceptional and memorable. The riad itself is beautiful and full of charm, the room was nicely sized, the bathroom and shower was very nice, and the riad is in a very convenient location. As two women travelers, we felt safe and very well taken care of. The food was delicious as well, albeit a bit pricey. Highly recommend this riad.

Lovely Riad in Fes

We spend 2 nights in this splendid and beautifully maintained Riad. The staff are helpful and friendly; they arranged a guide to show us around Fes. We also had a Hammam and massage in their spa, which was lovely. Food is good and they have a bar, so you can get a beer or glass of wine. I would stay here again

A must see, best Riad in the medina

The service was impeccable! Marcos went above & beyond to make our stay not only enjoyable, but that he made us feel like family (checking on our desires & anticipating our every need). He assisted with moving our bags into our room when we arrived & left. All of the staff was extremely responsive & we were happy to show off the beautiful facilities to our tour mates that we met in the Medina. We would highly recommend & would definitely stay again on our next trip 💜

Loved my stay at Riad El Yacout. The riad is beautiful and historic. The staff was very helpful and made sure I had everything I needed. The location is perfect for exploring Fes. I highly recommend a stay here! My only complaint was there was a cockroach creeping around my room. I know it's an old building in an old city, so not much you can do about that, but I didn't love it haha.

The Riad El Yacout is a larger scale Riad very centrally located to the Medina and Blue Gate. The property is well appointed. The rooms are nice and mostly modern but lack small touches such as coffee service, kettle, safe and adequate shelving. The breakfast was decent. The highlight of the Riad El Yacout is the personnel. All staff were gracious and very helpful whether arranging transport, arranging knowledgeable guides for touring around the Medina or hauling heavy bags up 3 flights of stairs. Particular kudos to Marcos and Khadijah who went above and beyond to help us. Overall, our stay at Riad El Yacout was very pleasant and we would return.

I’m so happy I chose to stay in this magnificent place. I have traveled around the world and this place is breathtaking. It’s so unique! The staff is very friendly and they make you feel very welcome since the moment you walk in the door. They greet you with a delicious hot tea. The food was delicious and breakfast setting was perfect. I was feeling a little sick from a day before and the hotel made me some magical tea and I felt better within minutes they even offered to send somebody to get me medications if needed. The location was walking distance to blue gate Medina. Also very close to train station as well go the tombs. Hotel was clean and smelled amazing. I will go back to visit soon! Thank you all for your lovely hospitality. This place feels like HOME!

While the Riad, it's breakfasts and the location were fantastic the staff was very sketchy, we asked them to book a car service to Chefchouan for us on our last day, and the man who was supposed to be the concierge took $250 in cash and disappeared. No ride showed up and they claimed something had happened to the driver but it was clear from the drama that that wasn't at all the case. Later we demanded our money from the hotel, not sure if they were robbed by their own employee and were able to get another hotel to get us a ride for half the price. It really put a damper on our entire experience because we expected the staff to be honest and they weren't we are pretty sure they cheated a lot of people by overcharging etc.

This Riad is past it’s sell by date.

Do not be seduced by this hotel’s claims to fame - that Bono stayed here once. He did but that was almost 15 years ago. This place today isn’t what it was then. We have been traveling across Morocco for ten days now and our stay at Riad Yacout left us deeply disappointed. Nowhere did we stay in all of Morocco that required such immediate attention as this Riad. Our room was in dire need of attention - not to mention the noise from the tour group diners that kept us awake. Our toilet didn’t work and the bathtub was corroded and the tiling were moldy ( pictures attached) The staff was hovering and nosy and constantly in our face with questions like “where do you go?” “What did you buy?” “How much did you pay?”we were so disappointed and saddened at the service, which was nothing in line with the reviews that we couldn’t wait to leave the Riad.

Treated like royalty!!!

We did not realize it was Ramadan when we planned our trip to Morocco. Despite this, we had a grand time. We were in Fez after a 3-day private tour from Marrakech. We were the only guests and they upgraded us to the master suite which was total royalty. The only drawback- we go thru 37 or 38 steps each way! But it was well worth it. The staff was very nice and all smiles. We really love our stay!!!
