sanghyuk.partnerNov 18, 2024 Very cool riad built in the 17th century
Love the place. Staff is the best. Views are great.
saquib.familyJun 22, 2024 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.
alexander.familyJan 08, 2024 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.
garrett.partnerJun 11, 2023 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.
fidias.familyOct 07, 2022 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.
Fabulous Dar Bensouda Fes Medina.
Fabulous traditional Riad in the Medina of Fes, Morocco.
Lovely accommodations and fantastic staff especially manager, Yessin, and Medina guide Aziz.
I would highly recommend staying at Dar Bensouda to anyone going to Fes.
mohammed.familyDec 02, 2021 Wonderful staff and excellent place to stay.
Fabulous time. Beautiful property. Warm, welcoming staff.
stuart.partnerNov 26, 2021 Wonderful stay, will come back again and again!
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.
verified t.partnerSep 12, 2019 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.
verified t.partnerAug 16, 2019 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!
Unique accomodation in an old world
Amazing location in the middle of the Médina and beautiful Riad with the comfort of a restaurant and pool and very helpful staff
verified t.partnerJul 03, 2019 This place is an immaculately preserved home from the 15th or 16th century with all original/restored details that will simply take your breath away. Add in the unbelievable view of the city/Medina from the rooftop terrace, the plunge pool and lounge area and the delicious food for breakfast (free!), lunch and dinner (affordable!) and you can’t beat this place. It’s clean and gorgeous and one of a kind—I’ve never stayed anywhere like it. Don’t miss this opportunity!!
verified t.partnerApr 03, 2019 We enjoyed the rooftop view. The staff was able to provide dinner for us on the roof as we watched the sunset. The door to our room did not close fully.
Excellent location and very comfortable Riad. Would highly recommend this for a stay in ages.
Excellent quiet retreat in the center of crazy Fez
The room was spectacular! Like a little apartment! And it was nice to have a restaurant there where I could order different things because it was too confusing to find anything at night. The rooftop was also INCREDIBLE. I could have lounged up there all week!
fredy.friendsNov 26, 2018 People were very kind and professional, beautiful hotel and rooms
