Pros:

Dar Lys is a beautiful riad with a perfect location, and the house and kitchen staff are wonderful, but it still isn’t my favorite experience in Morocco.

We’ve also stayed at Lalla Arosa and Dar Sebti, and we rented whole riads in the old medina, while in Fès (we had a longer stay in Fès while visiting Morocco) and were spoiled from start to finish, warmly welcomed, with staff who made sure we had everything we needed.

At Dar Lys, that level of hospitality felt missing. The kitchen and cleaning staff were absolutely lovely and the food was excellent, but honestly, if it weren’t for them, this stay wouldn’t have stood out much at all.

Un petit coin de paradis a deux pas de la médina,
Pros:

Ambiance très agréable et personnels très attentionnés, la Piscine sur le toit est sympa. l'ensemble du séjour c'est bien passer dans l'ensemble.

Cons:

Petit déjeuner: Le buffet n'est servi que si il y a du monde ce qui n'est pas préciser sinon le service a table est copieux mais manque de variété pour des séjours de plusieurs jours .
Piscine : Pas de service prévus a la piscine
Fontaine a eau : Pompe trop bruyante

Lovely stay
Pros:

We had a lovely stay here! We were welcomed by the lovely Khadija who was super helpful and friendly. The rooms were spacious and clean. Breakfast was great, the staff were equally as friendly Amin, Abdelsamad and Sana. Location was great in the medina but on the edge of Fez El Bali.

Cons:

Nothing. It was lovely. Wish the pool was heated so we could enjoy it.

Pros:

its pampering. Great room amenities

Cons:

small groups (must be very well to do clientele befitting the level of the riad) was quite noisy on day 2 of our stay. Anyway, they were having fun gathering so we accepted it.
