This was dep in the medinah— not easy to get to and it was extremely noisy. A decent road but not a 5 star experience.
Saquib, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had a great visit. We stayed for a few nights. The hotel is technically two joined buildings. One side has a swimming pool that is great to use on a hot day. There is an extensive roof deck with good views of Fes and comfortable seating. The restaurant is good - we sometimes at breakfast, lunch and dinner there. The rooms are beautiful and comfortable. Also, the staff really went out of their way to help us. We used the spa and it was a highlight too.

A fabulous Riad. Stunning interior. Great location in the heart of the Fez Medina. One thing to keep in mind is that there are lot of stairs. Fez is hard if you aren't fit. We were fine but my mother would have had difficulties.
Alexander, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We were told by everyone this was the best Riad in Fez and they were right. It’s about a 10 minute walk from the drop off point but it’s worth it. It’s a beautiful place like traveling back in time. We had a suite and it was large and very comfortable. The staff was amazing, very helpful. The food was made to order and it was great. I would definitely recommend it to anyone traveling to Fez.

Personnel courtois, toujours serviable et souriant. Ils sont tous ainsi! Belle chambre, bien décorée. Hôtel bien situé au cœur de la médina. Attention! Ayez un GPS pour vous retrouver dans la médina, sinon vous allez vous perdre!

The property was beautiful and very well maintained. The staff were excellent, particularly the GM, Yassine. He went to great lengths to make sure we were comfortable and felt welcome during a very busy week. We are grateful he was there and are glad to have met him.

An oasis of colors, calmness and beauty!
We absolutely loved our stay here! As soon as you enter the riad you step into an oasis of colors, calmness and beauty. The staff is super friendly and will do anything to make you feel at home. And we definitely felt that way! Also the food is amazing. Super fresh and tasteful, made with lots of love. Riad Dar Bensouda is the perfect stay to relax and enjoy the beauty of the old magical city of Fez. We are definitely coming back! Thank you guys!

Absolutely gorgeous, historic riad in the epicenter of the Fes Medina! The staff is beyond helpful, the rooms are large and comfortable and the views of the medina from the THREE rooftop terraces are simply stunning and cannot be beat! Don’t hesitate to book your stay here.

Great Unesco listed property. Unsafe neighbourhood
The hotel is perfect for anyone who wants to experience staying in a beautiful old Fes riad. The location from the nearest parking is at least 15mins walk via the labyrinth of alleyways. It is not the easiest walking journey without some helps finding it. We got conned by the porter who claimed to be from the hotel and wanted 50dh from us upon arriving at the front door. To get in and out of the riad is also a bit scary as the teenagers loitering on the streets just wanted to misguide us and make money from us. Perhaps this kind of experience applies to the whole medina of Fes. The experience going back to the hotel at night is unpleasant as we certainly do not feel safe even I was with my husband. NOT suitable for female travellers. Sadly the neighbourhood is rather not friendly (compare to Marrakech medina which is very safe). The hotel has a beautiful and big terrace which is superb for sunset. The staff are friendly and chatty. I think the hotel service could definitely improved by providing advance guidance for guests who are new to the medina of Fes, to guarantee a safe arrival, to enhance the overall experience before even stepping in to the riad. The staff could give better advice to hotel guest on how to deal with the hassle from the kids on the streets and make guests understand it is fine to walk back after certain time at night, or how to seek help if something do happen to them on the street 10meters from the front door.

We've just come back from having stayed three nights at Dar Bensouda in Fes. While we didn't particularly like Fes as a city, we fell in love with this riad and the people working there. In particular the manager Omar and Mamoune truly made our stay. They're beautiful humans who were always happy to help and went above and beyond to help us with transport and train tickets. The riad itself is a stunning place to come home to at the end of the day - we loved the pool, the breakfast and the beautifully cooked food. Thank you!
