The Dar Bensouda in Fez is a gem of a hotel. It has been redeveloped and restored an old property while adding new rooms and levels. The rooftop has a spectacular view of the old city and the staff were amazing. The breakfast each day was a highlight and the rooms were huge and clean.

Lewis, Canada

Beautiful Riad in the medina. They did a great job refurbishing the location from a past life. The staff was very easy to communicate with and very accommodating. I welcome the chance to stay again here.

Jess, Canada

Everything. From the property to the room to the food to the staff. All around excellent experience.

Bryan, United States of America

Staff were lovely, would do anything for you. Very clean and beautiful atmosphere after madness of the medina. This place will not disappoint you. Tranquil and perfect escape from the hustle and bustle in the medina. The food on choice menu was really good and reasonably priced.

Merryl, Australia

Staff are extremely helpful. Massage is very relaxing. The design of the riad is stunning with the moroccan traditional detail.

Erica, Hong Kong

We absolutely loved Dar Ben Souda. The staff was so helpful and kind. The breakfast was amazing. Made you omelettes right there by the pool. The bed sheets smelled super clean and it was quiet so no problems sleeping.

An Inside Look at Hotel & Spa Dar Bensouda

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

“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!”

눉The door is difficult to find in an already difficult place to find in the Medina, There are signs from outside the medina to the riad but no visible sign on the door, having a guide helps! Anyone can get lost in the Medina!
눇Beautiful Riad, the food is amazing and so is the spa! I loved the hammam ! I wish I could have stayed here for a month. Fes is my favorite of all Morocco

눉Only thing that I didn't like is that no one told us that we have to pay more to get to the hotel. It's not only paying for the taxi from the airport but also paying to a guy who shows you how to get to the hotel itself once you get to the old city as cars are not allowed there. I didn't mind to pay but I disliked that no one told me in advance and I didn't have enough cash on me
눇The staff was amazing! They welcomed us with drinks And they were very nice and helpful. The location was good. The rooms were huge! The breakfast was one of a kind. And the Riad is so beautiful.
