Beautiful inside, nice rooms and staff nice. Breakfast solid too. Only issue is our room was on the bottom floor and near the kitchen (so could hear dishes being washed) and the bathroom seemed to share a window with a families living room. Overall it didn't really affect us but I suspect experience would be better in a room higher up in the building.

A beautiful 16th Century Fes Palace. We had a comfortable room on the ground floor just off the central courtyard. Roof terrace with commanding views of the city. Very helpful manager and staff. Good Moroccan breakfast and dinner available.

This Riad is lo ated i side the Medina so its advisable to call ahead 20 minutes prior to arrival so a porter can take you and your luggage directly through the maze that is the Fez medina. The hotel can book a private 4 hour tour of the medina with a local guide for $40 Euro and ask if Omar can guide for you. Well worth it! For dinner you can dine in or dine nearby Ruined Garden restaurant. Suggest downloading the Map.Me app to help you navigate around the Medinas in Morroco

Property was nice but not overwhelming. austere would be the way to describe the decor. The rooms were a good size and service was good. But overall, there was nothing memorable about this Riad. Also, as is true for most riads in the Medina, one would have to be picked at the nearest car access and be transported by luggage service to the Riad itself. We are used to this, but Dar Bensouda was quite much farther than what would be typical. Good place, but given stiff competition of riads in Marrakech (so many great options at this price level), will likely not come back…

Dar Bensouda was a lovely oasis of calm in the middle of the Fes medina! When I say “in the middle”, I mean it - so definitely take the option to have a porter meet you with a cart to help you with your bags through the medina! It’s a gorgeous place and reception was super helpful with helping me get in touch with my upcoming desert tour operator to arrange pick up times at location when they initially weren’t answering. Also definitely try their in-hotel hammam and their restaurant too for dinner while you are staying there! I noticed some reviews mentioned a bad smell but that was not the experience for me, throughout the hotel they had that lovely scent infuser like you get in luxury spas which I really enjoyed. Only stayed for one night as I was travelling through from Chefchaouen but wished I could have stayed longer!

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.

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.
