Lock in a great price for Riad Shama Suites & Spa – rated 8.6 by recent guests!

to get started.

Its a great place to escape the hot and busy city of marrakech and relax. Its like entering an oasis in the middle of the city. The pool is amazing, the spa facilities (we had a massage) wer also very nice. The rooftop terrace is also a nice place to relax during the day. They offer dinner and breakfast but we would recommend going out into the city especially in the evening to one of the many great places closeby. Overall we were happy with the experience and would recommend it to other travelers.

Absolutely amazing! We will be returning, Magid the receptionist was outstanding with helping us enjoy the beautiful city!

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

The rooftop was brilliant - I loved having breakfast there every morning. The staff were very helpful and my room was brilliant, with a fantastic big bath and great smelling toiletries. The riad in general smelt amazing.

Emily, United Kingdom

It was disappointing to us - understaffed and a bit run down.

“Nothing was too much trouble. The staff at Riad Shama were so friendly and helpful. They organised a hire car for us and drove us to the edge of town to make sure we didn't get lost! Dinner was delicious, two of the best tagines we have had in Morocco. The best start to our trip.”

“overpriced.”

눉I paid in advance via booking.com, difficult to negotiate problems. Breakfast menu was repeated daily, No windows in room, it can be claustrophobic Shower in my son's room was broken, in my daughter's room the AC was faulty and the water had leaked from it had soaked the suitcase as well as her clothes. The cleaners were polite, however they would dry our bath towels over the balcony and put them back in the bathroom instead of replacing them with clean towels. We reported these issues to staff - nothing was done about it.
눇Nice decorated spacious rooms. children enjoyed the swimming pool, however my son had a telling off for splashing water when diving in!!

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”

- • Group of friends
- • Quadruple Room
- • Stayed 5 nights

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.
