everything was amazing. in the 25 countries i have travelled to, this is my favorite hotel so far. a former madrasa and residence of the imam which gives the hotel it's name. for anyone interested in history/islamic history/moroccan history, it's a phenomenal place to stay. reminded me a bit of the ben yousif madrasa in marrakesh. delicious breakfast buffet as well.

Service is unbelievably excellent! Made our stay a joy and we're so helpful and accommodating. The riad is beautiful. Can't fault on anything. Food is amazing and a great roof terrace. A great trip!

Beautiful Riad with very well appointed rooms. The staff was beyond accommodating to all needs and made sure you had everything you needed for a comfortable stay. The photos do not do this place justice- around every corner is a little courtyard or rooftop with lovely places to sit and read while you enjoy a glass of mint tea! The food- WOW. We dined every night at the Riad...it was THAT good. Breakfast spread was above and beyond what we expected. I traveled to Marrakech after our stay in Fes and we visited some of the sister properties there(Dar Cherifa). They are all beautiful and I would highly recommend a stay at any of them if you are planning a trip to Marrakech or Fes. I will be back. Thank you for the lovely stay!

The Riad is stunning, magical, sublime. We had a gorgeous room, that was perfectly clean. There are lots of little areas to relax in throughout the property, which is great because Fez is so crazy you need room to recharge. I cannot say enough about the staff. They were incredibly helpful, which is 100% necessary in a hotel in the medina. They helped us with everything we needed and we're always pleasant. We had a fantastic stay and would wholeheartedly recommend it

The staff was kind, attentive, and welcoming. The hotel itself was absolutely beautiful, had amazing views of Fes, provided a wonderful breakfast spread, and was located near the entrance of the medina and other popular sites. We enjoyed our stay here more than anywhere else in Morocco thanks to the kindness of Dar Bensouda!

Believe the reviews! This place is an inspiration. We stayed in many luxurious Riads in Morocco. But this one was truly special. The ambience of the place is something magical. The staff were truly thoughtful and helpful. They took care of everything. Breakfast and dinner were delicious! If I ever come back to Fes again, I will choose to stay in this Riad.

One of the most beautiful Riads I have ever stayed in. Our room was huge and waking up with the wooden shutters open, we were greeted by such a lovely view of the courtyard... really beautiful!

On walking through the front door you will find yourself standing in the midst of an architectural masterpiece, the huge courtyard of the Dar Bensouda. Thanks to the patience of Abdellatif Aït Ben Abdallah, well-known for his work in protecting the heritage of the Marrakech medina, this Fez guest house has at last regained it's original soul. Every detail, simple or complex, the harmony of its proportions, the magic of it's colours and the extraordinary marriage of the ceramic tiling with the stucco work and wood, all bear witness to the elegance and refined taste of the first owner, the saint Bensouda (who lies at rest in the Zaouia opposite the riad). The Riad Bensouda is the ideal place for an unforgettable stay - a dream within your reach! Each of the 18 rooms and suites is entered via a majestic door and adorned with a carved wooden ceiling, ceramic-tiled floor and an ornately plastered bathroom. Dar Bensouda offers several communal spaces for relaxing or meeting friends and family: the large lounge with its fireplace, the spacious terrace overlooking the whole of the Fez medina and a restaurant providing refined Moroccan cuisine. And last but not least, the cou
