Guest reviews for Riad Shemsi

Shivam - 20/05/2025 17:22:40

"Very clean and well managed. The staff were amazing particularly Adam at the front desk! He came out all the way to our car to help with luggage and kept checking in on us to make sure we were doing okay. All of the staff were quite attentive. The turquoise room was clean with a comfortable bed and large bathroom, located right next to the breakfast area which was a great convenience but still not loud at all. There was also a safe in the room."

"Not accessible by car but only a three minute walk to where taxis will drop you off. Safe area to walk. Lighting was a little dim but nothing opening the curtains didn’t fix during the day."

"Beautiful, traditional style road with lovely Moroccan touches throughout the riad."

"Not one complaint!"

Adesola - 12/10/2024 15:40:35

"The entire staff were absolutely magnificent; going over and above to meet our requirements. Just as an example, the day before we arrived I had requested for a birthday cake as a surprise gift and they delivered!!"

"Aucun."

"We stayed here the night before we flew home. Staff were so friendly and kind! We had to leave at 4 am and they were up sorting our driver. Wonderful people. Great breakfast. Loved our room. Loved Morocco!!!"

"Nothing"

"The staff were so helpful and friendly. They were always available and ready to help. The balcony on the top floor had a beautiful view. The location of the Riad was very accessible too."

"No restaurant and very limited breakfast. Also the room was quite dark."

"It was my first trip to Marrakesh, and finding the Riad Shemsi was initially a little tricky - but it was well worth it. The team are outstanding. Very friendly, knowledgeable about the area, and made me feel very much at home! The swimming pool area is beautiful, and the roof terrace was great to sit with a coffee and absorb the sounds of Marrakesh waking up. The breakfast is excellent - my first intro to Moroccan pancakes! And the portions are incredibly generous."

"This is more on me, but I am a little noise sensitive so being on the ground floor with the lounge area just outside my room, was a little noisy for me - but nothing headphones couldn't handle (i.e. there are no parties - just the sounds of talking etc.)"

Michalis - 16/06/2023 09:17:15

"The Riad is located in a very nice neighborhood inside Medina of Marrakesh. It is small and peaceful. Abdallah and Rachid are very helpful and always available to help, the service and the food is excellent, rooms are nice and clean. If you go by car the best way to find the location which is close to the Riad is café Clock. You can call the guys 10 min before your arrival and they will wait there for you and they will help you with your suitcases. Parking is max 10 min walking and the guys will take you there. Overall a very nice experience. Thank you guys."

"Aucun."

"Absolutely gorgeous peaceful Riad away from the hustle and bustle but with easy walking distance to everything. The staff were so welcoming and helpful."

"The bathroom, particularly the shower cubicle was a little on the small side. I just have a thing for shower curtains clinging to me when I'm in the shower!!"

Guest reviews

"Wonderful clean room in a nice Riad. Located at the edge of the Médina with easy access to transportation and the Medina. Huge breakfast spread in the morning."

"What a beautiful place. We were treated like royalty by the staff. It was absolutely sublime!"

"Great location! Beautifully decorated, very nice rooms but above all amazing staff! The front desk manager, Ismail, went above and beyond to help us with anything we needed. We did a cooking class in the hotel with two amazing chefs, Sofia and Najat. restaurants staff also very attentive, friendly, and nothing was too much to ask for."

"Very friendly staff and excellent breakfast and lunch. Great location in the Kasbah, everything in walking distance."

Avis de Nicholas Riad Amira

"Blown away by how beautiful this gem of place is, the photos don't do it justice. The setting is very peaceful."

Avis de 85hiba La Villa Mandarine

"Absolutely gorgeous property. Very clean pool. Beautiful, spacious & air conditioned room. Delicious big breakfast. The perfect place to rest & recuperate after big adventures to the dunes."

"Shhhh....don't tell anyone. This is my favorite Kasbah in Ouarzazate. It is located a few miles from the city so very quiet. The staff is amazing and always accommodating. The rooms are rustic, but the pool is amazing. Thanks for being my home away from home!"

Avis de Melissa Kasbah Zitoune

"The location is perfect, nice breakfast every day. Comfortable room. I definitely recommend."

Avis de Megan Dar Soukaina

"This was by far the best stay I’ve had on Booking, no exceptions. We originally booked a small room, but upon arrival, the owner generously upgraded us to a superior room at no extra cost, double the value of what we paid! Beyond that, I was truly impressed by the attention to detail, not just in the room but throughout the entire hotel. There’s so much to admire, whether from an interior design perspective or the little touches, like the beautifully presented food and the subtle, pleasant scent of the furniture. The location was peaceful, slightly away from the city, making it perfect for fresh air and proximity to the mountains. The staff were incredibly kind and accommodating, the room was exceptional, and I will definitely be coming back"
