Ellen, Isle of Man

Beautiful cosy and quiet place very well located in the north of the Medina. Easy to reach with taxi and good starting point for visits. The personal is extremely friendly and helpful, children are welcome. The decoration is very tasty and traditional, the pool is extremely enjoyable. Beds are comfortable. I can also warmly recommend the food. A very good address where we'll go back without hesitation.

Diane, Germany

Riad Shama was a little bit of heaven away from the hustle and bustle of Marrakech!! From the moment my friend and I stepped in we knew it was going to be perfect from the smells to the music playing in the background. Magid and the rest of the staff were so attentive and helpful, bringing us complementary mint tea and fresh juices whilst we were relaxing by the pool each day. The facilities are great, and a stunning view from the roof terrace! 10/10 I highly recommend staying here, I will be back! Thank you Magid and all the staff for making our stay so perfect.

Megan, Jersey

One of those places to stay the whole day. Service's amazing, as is the food. Rooms are comfortable and full of nice little details. Roof top has some nice views too! 100% worth your money. Go for the double superior if available!

Sergio, Spain

Very vintage and cultural. Traditional morrocco now style house but beautiful, serene and calm, with lovely staff.

Sadhia, United Kingdom

Breakfast was lovely same as the massage and the staff was so good.

Lisa, Netherlands

Beautiful Riad with amazing staff. Situated away from the hustle and bustle of the markets but still walking distance to everything. Slightly outside the tourist area so you get to see a bit more of daily life. Highly recommended.

Shaun, United Kingdom

Being winter it was quite cold in the morning and at night and having heating in the room was welcome, have stayed in a Riad without previously. Staff very friendly and helpful.

J, United Kingdom

It's my best hotel in Morocco with good location and friendly staff. I will definitely choose here again in my next time to Marrakesh.

Shuxuzzz, China

눉When having a shower the water would stop working and you would have to wait for it to come back on. Would have been better if there was more choice for breakfast. We booked a superior double room but there was nothing superior about it. Seemed like a standard size double room.
눇Room vas very nice and traditional. Rooftop view is very nice.

“A sanctuary of calm and kindness in the middle of the exciting madness of Marrakech”

눇I have been dreaming of spending time in a Riad for years and Riad Shama was EVERYTHING I had ever hoped for. Situated in the old city you leave the tranquility of the Riad to be immediately immersed into the everyday comings and goings of Marrakech life. The locals are so, so friendly and any French or Spanish you have goes a long way into truly communicating with everyone. Two minutes walk from the Riad you can also find one of the best patisseries in Marrakech. It's about 20 minutes to walk to the main Jemma el Fna square although the whole time is spent in the labyrinth of souks and markets which means the time just passes as you wander through the abundance of colours, sights and sounds. Make sure you keep a note of your route because it all looks very different when the shops start closing. We had many adventures thinking we had the route sorted only to discover a new area and alleyways to get us home. The best location to ask for to get back to the Riad Shama is 'Bab Tahgzout' which is the gate / arch nearby. A 'bab' is one of the gates which are dotted all around the 18km of medina city wall. When you return to the Riad you are instantly immersed in an oasis of calm and tranquility. A sanctuary of serenity. Unobtrusive, gentle and relaxing music is played throughout the day as the sound of the fountain water trickles in the background. There is so much space and areas to discover throughout the Riad that you will find a new nook to relax in each day. As for the staff at the Shama, I do not have enough adjectives to describe how wonderful they ALL are. Nothing was ever too much for us and I looked forward to the chats we had on a daily basis. Majid, Mustafa and Samuel were the prominent faces and forces of the Riad but everyone was smiling, helpful and just made us feel as if we were at home and we had the freedom to be anywhere in the Riad. Thank you so much , Riad Shama for making my dream a reality.

눇Staff were amazing, so friendly and welcoming. The riad was absolutely beautiful! It was in a prime location to walk to many of the cultural locations. We did various excursions through the riad, which were great value for money and great days out. Spa was 👌🏼 and dinner at the riad was also great. Literally cannot complain. We had a great week. The terrace had a beautiful sunbathing location too.
