We had a wonderful stay at Riad Shama, with a very warm welcome from the minute we arrived. All the staff were very courteous, and the main receptionist spoke very good english. The breakfasts were amazing up on the terrace, and excellent quality, mixture of moroccan food and western. The place smelt lovely, with a calm clean atmosphere,and was always... More

We stayed at the Riad Sharma for 4 nights in January. the Riad is an oasis of calm. It is beautiful, amazing. The staff could not do enough for us. Everyone was extrememly helpful and went out of their way to accommodate. The Riad itself is a bit of a walk from the main square but once shown the route,... More

I stayed here for 4 nights, with friends in January. The Riad Shama is an oasis of loveliness within the Medina, which, as mentioned by others, does exhibit some poverty, but whose inhabitants are, in the very significant majority, welcoming. The staff at the Shama are incredible. They are always helpful, well beyond their basic roles, and perform their duties... More

We stayed at Riad Shama for a week at the end of December 2012 and had the most amazing time! The staff are so helpful and nothing we asked for was ever a problem. We were welcomed with a fresh pot of mint tea before getting settled into our massive suite with an amazing bathroom. They really treat you like... More

We had 3 nights here and would definitely recommend a visit. Although it was Eid and there were very few guests staying, the staff were helpful and sweet. We ate in twice and the food was good and reasonably priced. Delighful friendly service from Soufiane and Jamal, and all the other staff too. Rooms were comfortable, as were the lounge... More

Well I am afraid that we are unable to recognise the comments by DFJ from Brighton. We stayed at the Riad Shama for 5 nights in Feb this year and had a magnificent time. The Riad is comfortable and clean with attentive and helpful staff (admittedly you benefit from being able to speak a little French as their English is... More

I stayed at this Riad in February 2011, I found that it was not to the standards, or stars it claimes, the pictures, and write up in the Kuoni brochure are not of this property. It actually stands at the near end of an alleyway in the slum area of Marrakech, it's a cold, dark, damp property, which is under... More

My wife and two children aged 19 and 22 stayed at Riad Shama for 5 days between Christmas and New Years. We have lived in Canada, US, Africa and now the UK. Because of our Africa expereince we realize that culture and history on vacation does not always mean 5 stars are available. Riad Shama was an enjoyable small riad.... More
