Riad Dar Bensouda

This place is not for regular travelers. Those who will not push themselves a little bit to find a hidden gem in the old city, or feel curious to live a couple of days without being surrounded by electronic devices everywhere. Furthermore, it needs a person who appreciate the glory of the past, the genuine beauty of antiques and doesn’t consider such charm as rustic metal or scaly wood. This dar was belonged to a well respected Imam, Ahmed bensoudeh, a prestigious man, with well known teaching religion classes. Staying in this riad after all of these years with the same preserved non modified beauty is so authentic, and reinforce the touristic experience of Fes and its near by amazing wooden sculptures in Quraan schools. It is so obvious that the owner supervises the property closely, and has very specific vision of how the riad experience should be. I totally appreciate his choices of leaving the mosaic, the wood, and the carved plaster with no renewal. I liked as well the selection of very simple furniture that will not interfere visually with these rich elements and keep the main focus on the correct places. The pool and terrace is another story. The staff understand the philosophy of the owner, respect it, conducting it to the visitors, and working with their maximum effort to meet those high standards. Mrs Huda, the site manager, embarrassed us with her kindness and her super meticulous way to make sure that every single detail is just perfect. It feels like a family to stay there. My kids were so happy to stay here as the wifi was excellent all over the building! We didn’t have any smell issue as we had with the previous riad we were in. They take the luggage in the check in, and out, to the parking area. At the end of our stay I feel mind clear and my soul is satisfied with beauty and meditations. It is very nice to carry this feeling with you when you travel back. Big Thanks to the team of this wonderful riad.

Horrible Place horrible staff dirty and unkeep Breakfast they offered was literally nothing on a plate their prices are outrageously expensive for The Limited dinner they offer their food is Bland and tasteless the presentation that they exhibited online is not what you get when you're there in person I would recommend nobody to stay here

Actually i like this read you feel your self inside it like you are in different places then 2018

Beautiful riad in the Fes medina. The staff is friendly and helpful. We were welcomed with tea and cookies. The room was very spacious and nicely decorated. The bathroom was also very spacious. The only downside was that the room was quite cold. The riad has a rooftop terrace with great views (perfect for sunset), an internal garden with a pool and sunchairs (though the water was too cold to swim), a hammam and massage rooms (you have to book in advance and pay extra). The hammam was 300 MAD per person for 30 minutes and it was amazing. Our Airbnb booking didn’t have breakfast included, but we were able to pay for it at the riad. It was 9€ per person per day. It was cheaper to book on Airbnb than on other websites.

Beautfiul Riad. Very welcoming and professional. Everything was perfect into the last detail. Thank you to the whole team who made this a memorable stay! A bientôt

This was easily one of the best experiences I’ve had at any hotel, guest house, riad, etc. the staff is amazing, breakfast is fantastic, and the amenities are spectacular. Walking into the courtyard was like walking into a different world. Being from the US, this was an entirely different experience. Staying in the Medina can be overwhelming but staying with Dar Bensuda made it very easy to get around and provided an excellent experience. My only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer! Will defiantly be back next time we come to Fes! Could not recommend this place more highly.

The location is amazing, right in the middle of the Medina but not in a quiet street so theres no additional noise in the night. The place looks super good, added with that the service that they offer here it’s a must stay. The pool, the rooftop view, the nice and tidy rooms. Amazing. If you’re looking for the best stay in Fes I would recommend this place all the time.

One of the most beautiful historical guest houses in Fes. It’s been very well restored, keeping the original surfaces and patina, which is, sadly, very rare. I like how the furnishings are simple and elegant, thus showing off the amazing original decoration of the house. The food in the restaurant is excellent too. They don’t have a liquor license, but you can bring your own wine.
