Lock in a great price for Riad Shama Suites & Spa – rated 8.4 by recent guests!

to get started.

The location and the staff very helpful and friendly.

Rita, Portugal

The Riad was very comfortable and quiet, the roof terrace is also lovely with a good view. The bed was comfortable and the water was warm. Overall, quite comfortable and the staff was very pleasant and helpful (especially the first day when we were dogged by young Moroccan boys trying to be paid for showing us the way).

Eve, Belgium

The riad is beautiful and feels very luxurious so it's great value for money. The staff are all really friendly and helpful. The riad is easy to find from the main road so it's simple to get a taxi/shuttle here.

R, United Kingdom

The Riad itself was beautiful with a lovely big pool and tucked away areas to sit and relax. Our room was large and well decorated. The staff were lovely and couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful, even running out to get us bottles of wine in the evening and delivering it to our room. We had an incredible couples hammam and massage, the best I’ve ever had in Marrakech! The location is also great for getting around.

Laura, United Kingdom

Excellent Moroccan breakfast, living in the heart of Medina. Beautiful terrace overlooking the city and the mountains. Everywhere perfectly clean. I'm happy to recommend everyone.

Jana, Czech Republic

The breakfast was light which I like on holiday, beds where comfy and was clean

Carolyn, United Kingdom

The staff were lovely and friendly and I have never had such attentive staff before. Everything was clean - it really was like a paradise in the middle of the medina. The man who greeted us was exceptional and also one of the other workers who served us tea / drinks. I would definitley return to this riad and I highly recommend it.

Leah, United Kingdom

Nice rooms with comfortable beds, the shared areas of the Riad were beautiful and well kept, the staff do a very good job in terms of presentation and cleanliness. They were also very helpful if we had queries or requests, and sorted out taxis, food and massages for us. Check in was easy, although I'd recommend asking the Riad to book you a taxi since the taxi driver we found at the airport messed us around and was fairly unhelpful (not the fault of the Riad at all). Food arrived promptly and tasted good. The terrace was lovely, well fitted out with sun beds and seating areas. The room itself was on the cheap side compared to elsewhere in Marrakech but it was very good value for money. Be aware that the Riad is close to a mosque so we were woken at around 5am every morning for prayers that were chanted over the loudspeakers attached to it. We enjoyed our stay here immensely.

Dave, United Kingdom

Great stay , beautiful riad with lovely comfortable rooms. The views and comfort form the riad's rooftop is wonderful , a little gem in an otherwise mad city. Lovely breakfast and the food in the riad is really great.

What Travelers Love About This Location

“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.”

Nichola

Australia

“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.”

“We had a pleasant stay though found it a bit cold in March (which is probably great in summer)”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Standard Double or Twin Room
- • Stayed 3 nights
눉My partner and I ate in the restaurant before we left for Essaouira early the next day. Their tagging was tasty but a bit expensive in my opinion for what it was. Also, in early March it was quite cold in the evening, and it was impossible for us to dry our towels even after a day, with the windows open. The shower also did not drain properly. Unfortunately the riad is also very close to a mosque, so make sure you aren't in desperate need of sleep and quiet as you will most likely be awoken at 5 am (I didn't mind and went back to sleep but imagine this could be problematic for others).
눇The Riad was very comfortable and quiet, the roof terrace is also lovely with a good view. The bed was comfortable and the water was warm. Overall, quite comfortable and the staff was very pleasant and helpful (especially the first day when we were dogged by young Moroccan boys trying to be paid for showing us the way).

눉The breakfast was lovely but they could've done with some variety on different days as it was always the same thing (pancakes, pastry, muffin, bread and condiments). The restaurant only seemed to have one meal from the menu available on most days which was a shame because the food was amazing!
눇The riad is beautiful and feels very luxurious so it's great value for money. The staff are all really friendly and helpful. The riad is easy to find from the main road so it's simple to get a taxi/shuttle here.

눉Our stay at Riad Shana was nearly perfect! My only complaint about the room is that there wasn’t enough lighting in the room, so it was a bit difficult to see what we were doing/get ready to go out at night time. My only other complaint is that the majority of the time we were there, one of the main seating areas on the roof terrace was messy and looked as if the cushion covers were being cleaned and wasn’t somewhere we could actually sit to watch the sunset or have some mint tea. Breakfast was also very carb heavy and could use some more fruit, although it was still delicious! This didn’t really bother us, but if you’re a light sleeper I’d recommend sleeping with ear plugs. The mosque is really nearby and the days prayers are loud and begin at around 5am.
눇The Riad itself was beautiful with a lovely big pool and tucked away areas to sit and relax. Our room was large and well decorated. The staff were lovely and couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful, even running out to get us bottles of wine in the evening and delivering it to our room.

눉A few of the nights we stayed they didn't have most of the food that was advertised on the menu. The location can be scary on a night but i think that stands with anywhere within the medina. One of the members of staff was quite rude when we was leaving and told us we still had to pay for some meals that were already paid and also that we needed to pay for the airport transfer which was paid the night before.
눇The staff were lovely and friendly and I have never had such attentive staff before. Everything was clean - it really was like a paradise in the middle of the medina.

눉Wifi was very hit and miss - would work in some parts of the hotel and not others, often wouldn't work at all. The food menu for lunch and dinner was on the expensive side, we found it much cheaper and better quality to eat out near the medina. The hot water wasn't working in one of the showers in our bedroom all week, the other shower had no way to attach the shower head to the wall, and lots of the plugs and faucets were loose from the wall. The location was just off a main road. We became increasingly aware that the direction away from the medina was more dangerous for tourists, as the female in our group was hollered at a lot more around there and at one point we were followed and intimidated by a group of youths. The main road towards the medina is much busier and safer from our experience (not the fault of the riad of course). It took us 20 minutes to walk to the main square from the riad.
눇Nice rooms with comfortable beds, the shared areas of the Riad were beautiful and well kept, the staff do a very good job in terms of presentation and cleanliness. They were also very helpful if we had queries or requests, and sorted out taxis, food and massages for us. Check in was easy, although I'd recommend asking the Riad to book you a taxi since the taxi driver we found at the airport messed us around and was fairly unhelpful (not the fault of the Riad at all).
