Riad Shajara

I loved the warmth of the staff: Ahmed, Sara, the gardener (who was very polite and always offered us mint tea), and last but not least, Patricia. The riad is quiet, smells like heaven, the design is impeccable and you can see the care for every detail. The breakfast was amazing (Sara makes the best homemade orange marmalade!) and I even received a bouquet of flowers when we checked out. Thank you guys!

A newly renovated riad at ten minutes from Jemaa el-Fnaa Square. Patricia, the owner, created a piece of paradise. Ahmed is a very professional young manager who is always willing to help and available for you. Sara looks after the riad impeccably and cooks amazingly. The gardener is a very caring person and attentive man. We stayed in a suite room (Gaia room), super clean and beautifully decorated in typical Moroccan style. The breakfast was simply excellent, with plenty of food choices and cooked perfectly. We loved it so much that on the last day of our stay we booked another stay for next May.

A newly renovated riad in the heart of the Medina. A few minutes’ walk from the main square Jemaa el-Fna. A true home from home with a beautiful rooftop terrace to chill, read a book or sip on mint tea. A beautiful pool in the courtyard to refresh. As this is a new riad with limited reviews I was a bit sceptical about booking the Riad but was so glad I did this is a hidden gem and amazing value. The riad is even nicer than the pictures as it has been recently renovated and bought over by a lovely French lady. A tranquil oasis to relax and unwind, with only 5 rooms it is very peaceful. The riad has two room options, standard and suite. I was fortunate to stay in both and loved both equally. Both rooms are extremely spacious, standard rooms are on ground floor so you can walk directly out to the pool. The 3 suite rooms are on the 2nd and 3rd floor with aerial views onto the pool. There is also a rooftop terrace with dining area and sun loungers. A kitchen available for guests or get home cooked Moroccan meals on request. Rooms have TV, hairdryers and fluffy dressing gowns. Breakfast: A good variety from savoury to sweet and with fresh fruit, juice and eggs. LOCATION-LOCATION-LOCATION As a solo female traveller I felt very safe, location is 5 minutes’ walk to main square and when walking to/from the riad the streets have locals and tourists. Cleanliness: Exceptionally clean, I have never had my room cleaned or organised like this before and have stayed in 5-star hotels globally. Staff: Friendly and very helpful staff, Ahmed on arrival gave me an overview of Marrakech and helped me plan my itinerary for the week. He also arranged spa appointment, taxis and restaurant reservations. Value for Money: Excellent value for money. SAVE YOURSELF TIME AND BOOK THIS RIAD, BEFORE FINDING THIS RIAD I WASTED HOURS READING REVIEWS, TRUST ME YOU WILL LOVE THIS RIAD AND PRIME LOCATION.

Nous avons passé 3 nuits parfaites. Le Riad est juste superbe, calme, tranquille, décoré avec goût, soin et authenticité. Le personnel est aux petits soins. Le petit déjeuner est varié et copieux. La propreté est irréprochable. Situé dans une rue très calme, vous êtes à deux pas de la place Jamaa El Fna. Des petits restaurants très sympas sont à proximité. Ce riad est juste parfait pour un week end de dépaysement, repos et partage. Je recommande +++
