Stay in an authentic Moroccan Mini Palace

Comfortable stay in RIAD SHAMA, Marrakech, Morocco. From outside, it was deceiving but once we enter into this complex, our notion/impression totally changed. We had experienced a real flavor of Morocco, by staying at this place. Service and hospitality was good. Although it wasn't a buffet style yet the breakfast was very good. I will tell tourists to go and stay at this hotel. Calm/quite and comfortable stay. Value for money.

Chambres spacieuses, tres propres. Services repas tres bons et prix corrects. Mustapha est serviable. Le personnel de service aux petits soins et discrets. Tres belle terrasse mais matelas et coussins pas tres propres. En points negatifs actuellement beaucoup de travaux aux abords du Riad et qui vont durer... Pour les lieux de rdv na pas donner la rue mais le nom de la place. Gros probleme de wifi dans la propriété. Tres ennuyeux. Faible reseau voire inexistant. Rien dans les chambres...1er et 2 eme jour ca va puis apres la galère. Piscine froide. Télé compliquée à régler. J ai demandé mais personne n est venu. Quand il pleut c est pourtant pratique! Ameliorer la vente de carte des boissons: juste de l eau...

De vluchthaventransfer en ontvangst waren prima in orde. Personeel is super vriendelijk, als je iets nodig hebt hoef je het maar te vragen en het is al geregeld. Dat maakt de wat mindere staat van het geheel weer goed. De Riad is wat verouderd en hier en daar aan renovatie toe. Alles was wel schoon en werd ook dagelijks aangepakt. Ontbijt was eenvoudig maar voldoende. Je kon er genoeg eten en kon er tot de middag prima mee rondkomen. Ook iets extra's vragen was geen probleem. Gezien de parijs/kwaliteit zou ik het eenieder aaanraden. Verwacht geen Grand Luxe, daar is de prijs ook naar. Gewoon een fijne Riad, ruime kamer en badkamer, schoon en vriendelijke mensen. Gewoon doen. Klein minpuntje: zwembad is niet verwarmd, dus koud...

Nous avons aimé l amabilité du personnel. Petit bémol le personnel du soir était tout seul. Il était très agréable et faisait tout son possible pour rendre agréable notre séjour. Mais une deuxième personne serait nécessaire pour l aider. Riad nickel. Juste pomme de douche à refixer correctement dans notre chambre. Sinon tout était parfait.. jusqu' aux fleurs à notre départ. Merci à vous. Nous recommanderons le riad à nos proches.

Da vi kom til hotellet var booking ikke gået igennem, hvilket betød at vi ikke havde noget hotelværelse. Personalet på hotellet sagde at de aldrig havde fået en booking ind fra Expedia. Vi måtte derfor finde et andet hotel (som vi fik hjælp til fra hotellets personal) og der var ingen hjælp at hente fra Expedia. Imidlertid fik vi evalueringsmails fra Expedia, som helt givet vis ikke har en eneste idé om, hvad der foregår. Det er dybt kritisabel og en kæmpe kritik herfra af Expedia (og ikke af hotellet)

Good location, can ask to the main square. When you arrive the taxis aren’t allowed to go directly to the door amd the road/area is very run down. Turn right through the arch and you leave the hustle and bustle behind as you walk in the door.
