Location and Access

Hotel & Spa Dar Bensouda is in Fes El Bali, an ancient walled medina with narrow, car-free streets and ornamented entryways like Bab Guissa and the Blue Gate. It is near the souks, the Mosque of Moulay Idriss, the Quaraouine University and Library, and the produce markets of R'cif. Landmarks nearby include Dar Adiyel (0.3 km), Fontaine Nejjarine (0.5 km), Al-Attarine Madrasa (1.5 km), and the Medina of Fez (3 km).

Hotel Services

Hotel & Spa Dar Bensouda includes laundry service. Breakfast is included in the room rate, which starts from 85 €. The hotel provides common areas, including a living room with a fireplace and a rooftop terrace with views of the Medina. A private Hammam and Spa are available.

“While the decor might strike some as austere, I think the location deep in the Medina is the real draw, though be prepared for a bit of a trek with your luggage; once inside, the private hammam and traditional architecture offer a calming escape. The restaurant emphasizes locally sourced ingredients, reflecting a commitment to authentic Moroccan cuisine. Overall, this riad provides a solid, if understated, base for exploring Fes.”
