Hotel & Spa Dar Bensouda

Loved everything about this hotel! My favourite of all places I’ve stayed in Morocco so far. Amazing rooftop, beautiful common areas, stylish and comfortable rooms and friendly staff.

Beautiful riad, pretty view from the rooftop. The room was spacious, had both shower and bath.

Riad feels very worn out, furniture needs replacement or deep cleaning. The staff was not super attentive or responsive and the breakfast was too basic. For this price in Marrakesh we had way more luxurious and comfortable stay.

A wonderful oasis in the heart of the Medina. After wandering the labyrinth of narrow streets, it was lovely to come back to such a peaceful and welcoming riad. Our room on the top floor was quiet, comfortable and a lovely place to retreat to after a day exploring Fes. We particularly loved the roof terrace — perfect for relaxing and taking in the atmosphere above the Medina. A beautiful, authentic place to stay and a great base for exploring Fes, especially if you like cats!

Breakfast was quite bread-focused, so a little more variety would have been nice. The riad is quite difficult to find as it’s tucked away in the labyrinth of the Medina. On arrival we arranged to be collected from the edge (as no car access) which worked well, but even with Google Maps it wasn’t always easy to navigate. It’s worth being aware that some locals may offer to show you the way and then expect payment.

We really liked the ambience and the breakfast. The swimming pool was great, and the staff were very nice, friendly, and helpful.

We were disappointed that there was no minibar or rubbish bin in the room. Also, from the second day onwards, the bed sheets were not changed. We expected better housekeeping service during our stay.
