Petit déjeuner bon et copieux. Personnel trés gentil et serviable Hotel propre
Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour au Riad Shemsi à Marrakech. Un endroit chaleureux et plein de charme, où nous avons été accueillis avec beaucoup de gentillesse par les propriétaires, toujours disponibles et attentionnés. Mention spéciale pour le petit-déjeuner : très bon, généreux et surtout composé de produits frais. 🥐🍊☕️ Une belle adresse que nous recommandons avec plaisir pour découvrir Marrakech dans une ambiance authentique et conviviale. Nous y reviendrons avec grand plaisir ! ❤️
Le seul petit point négatif concerne l’accès au Riad, qui n’est pas toujours facile à trouver, surtout la première fois. N’hésitez pas à appeler les propriétaires si vous avez du mal à le retrouver : ils sont très disponibles et vous guideront avec plaisir. Heureusement, un parking se trouve à environ 5 minutes à pied, ce qui est très pratique.
The staff were very courteous, respectful, and professional throughout our stay. The room was spacious, well-organized, and furnished comfortably, providing a pleasant and relaxing experience.
The main challenge was locating the riad, as its location was difficult to identify. We had to rely on local residents for assistance and directions in order to find the property.
Abdel, Rachid e tutte le ragazze sono stati ospiti fantastici, hanno sistemato in pochi attimi i piccoli disagi che abbiamo avuto e ci hanno aiutati ad avere un soggiorno speciale a Marrakech. Colazione abbondante e gustosa, come il servizio ristorante
Riad Shemsi was the perfect stay in Marrakesh! As soon as you step inside, you feel relaxed and welcomed by the lovely staff. Abdall and Rachid were so helpful and always so happy to help. They were both very knowledgeable on the local area with great food recommendations and help with organising activities. We were served traditional tea and biscuits on arrival and throughout the stay which was delicious. Breakfast had a great variety of traditional Moroccan pastries, spreads, coffee, fresh orange juice, fruit salad. House keeping was great and our rooms were pristine. All communal areas were very clean and tidy and ready to use. We booked a massage that was within the Riad and this was amazing - very relaxing! The location was perfect in the Kasbah area, it felt safe and tucked away enough from the chaos of the main streets. The pool was very clean and always kept at the perfect temperature. We would recommend Riad Shemsi to any of our friends and family planning to visit Marrakesh. We can’t wait to visit again - hopefully very soon!
Absolutely nothing - we loved everything about the Riad and would highly recommend!
L’emplacement est parfait: 15/20minutes à pied de la place Jema Elfna. Situé dans le quartier Kasbah qui est un quartier très animés surtout le soir, le Riad se trouve dans une petite ruelle puis une impasse, au calme, parfait pour se reposer après l’agitation de la ville. Rachid nous a accueilli avec beaucoup de simplicité et de gentillesse, merci à lui et à son équipe, c’est tellement important pour un premier voyage avec deux jeunes enfants. Nous avons pu nous baigner même avec nos enfants (j’avais peur de déranger ou de faire du bruit) l’eau était parfaite. Nous nous sommes senti comme chez nous ! On en garde un beau souvenir !
Je dirai peut être le simple vitrage de la chambre mais ce n’est qu’un détail, certainement que la plupart des Riad sont en simple vitrage à Marrakech. Nous n’avons pas l’habitude mais ça n’as vraiment pas gâché notre voyage !
La disponibilité et l’amabilité du personnel Lieu propre et conforme à l’annonce
Struttura carina e curata, lo staff molto cordiale e disponibile e la pulizia davvero ottima. Un posto piacevole dove rilassarsi dopo le giornate trascorse nella caotica Marrachesh.”

Wat een heerlijke rustige plek in de drukke stad. Het personeel is ontzettend aardig en behulpzaam. We kwamen aan op mijn moeder haar verjaardag en ze hadden de kamer versierd. Mooie kamer en een fijn bed!
Alles was perfect!
The staff (particularly Abdel) were fantastically helpful, helped us navigate the entirety of Marrakesh and made suggestions to help us avoid being scammed, even did a cooking class for us with the chef! The room was comfortable and complete facilities, a lovely rooftop terrace and many a cat around to enjoy. Fabulous home cooked breakfast every day as well, which was particularly well done as it was Ramadan!
Harder to find than we thought! But when we got there it was straight forward, great place and no complaints.
Riad Shemsi is in a perfect location. Abdel was extremely helpful and made our stay perfect. He met us from the taxi for a seamless transfer. 10/10 for service and kindness from all of the staff we met, would definitely recommend staying here and hope to return one day.
.
We stayed in 4 different riad in Marrakesh and Marroc, but this was the best! Super friendly personal, comfortable bed, fast wifi, enough large room, super shower -ideal for two too :-) -. The breakfast is amazing, and the rooftop is also beautiful. Highly recommend!
Le calme , la disponiblité et la gentillesse du staf
L'adresse sur inernet qui ne correspond pas à l'adresse réelle. J'ai galeré pour trouver le numéro à Derb chtouka. Il faut mettre derb Tadla.
Riad bello e accogliente, staff molto gentile e sempre disponibile. Posto molto tranquillo pur essendo nella medina. Il riad si trova a circa 20 minuti dalla piazza principale di marrakech

The staff were exceptionally friendly, and the breakfast was fantastic. The riad itself is a real gem, located in a quieter part of town and beautifully presented, with a central pool and a lovely rooftop sitting area. Out of the six different places we stayed in Morocco, this was by far the best. A fact that should be promoted a bit more is its proximity to the city’s outer wall—only about a five‑minute walk—making it very easy to park nearby in a designated parking area managed by a Guardian (40 MAD per night in 2027). We stayed at two different riads in Marrakech. Had we discovered the proximity and parking facility during planning, we would have happily extended our stay here.
As with any location, there are small trade‑offs. We enjoyed staying in a quieter part of the city, though it did mean slightly longer walks to reach the main souks, which we were fine with. There was an issue with a guide recommended by the riad. That said, the owner was responsive and addressed the situation promptly the next day, which we appreciated.
Séjour au top, ce riad est magnifique et typique, le personnel est aux petits soins, toujours disponibles et de bons conseils. Bon rapport qualité/prix, à réserver sans hésiter.
Qualité du logement, prestations, terrasse, amabilité du personnel
Een prachtige riad, ideaal gelegen, vriendelijk en beleefd personeel ! Mooie riad, werkelijk charmant en aan te raden ! De straat ernaar toe heeft wel wat oprfrissing nodig !
El desayuno es increible. El Riad está súper bien ubicado, muy céntrico, pero en una zona tranquila. El personal es muy amable y atento.
All of the staff were absolutely lovely, so accommodating, nothing was too much trouble. Bed was comfy, room was warm. Breakfast was vast. Mint tea was plentiful at any time day/night. Abdul was very helpful regarding places to visit, percentages to pay when bartering, etc. There was always someone there to hand. Roof terrace had 360° views and was perfect for catching some rays.
There's nothing to dislike! Would 100% stay again.
La habitación que estaba en el último piso
Nada, todo estuvo genial
O Riad está numa localização central o suficiente para ser perto de tudo e afastada o suficiente para ser muito pacífico. Todos os funcionários são maravilhosos, muito prestáveis e simpáticos. Sentimo-nos em casa. O pequeno almoço vai variando de dia para dia mas normalmente inclui pão, msemen, café, chá, leite, iogurte ou fruta e sumo de laranja, todos muito bem preparados e servidos. Os quartos são maravilhosos, típicos de um Riad, e a piscina é espaçosa e um espaço agradável. Adoramos!
Het was echt een oase van rust, je waant je er in een paleisje, in een waanzinnig drukke stad. Het rooftop terras was 's morgens na het ontbijt onze plek De overdekte patio(waar je regelmatig muntthee aangeboden kreeg)aan het zwembad kon zowel bij warm, koel als nat weer gebruikt worden. Zeer vriendelijke en behulpzame uitbaters. Het ontbijt was heerlijk en werd vers bereid door de vrouw des huizes.
Het ligt wat ver van het centrum.
Clean, nice people
Language barrier
Our stay at this riad in Marrakech was nothing short of exceptional. What truly made our experience unforgettable was the incredible hospitality. Adam kindly picked us up from Café Clock, making our arrival completely stress-free, and welcomed us with some of the most delicious Moroccan tea we had during our trip. Abdel and Rashik were amazing, always available to help us navigate the Medina, offer advice, and ensure everything about our stay ran smoothly. No request was ever too much, and their warmth and attentiveness made us feel genuinely cared for. The rooms were spotless, thoughtfully decorated, and incredibly peaceful, with comfortable beds and all the amenities we could ask for. Waking up to the quiet courtyard and enjoying breakfast there each morning was a highlight—fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. The riad’s location was also ideal, tucked away just enough to feel serene but still within easy reach of the Medina and all its energy. After a busy day exploring Marrakech, coming back felt like returning to a private sanctuary. Overall, this stay exceeded all expectations. It wasn’t just accommodation, it was an experience. We would absolutely return and recommend it to anyone looking for a truly special place to stay in Marrakech.
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!!
The riad was very nice : the rooms clean, quiet, the personal super kind, very attentive, we really enjoyed our time here.
Personnel formidable. Emplacement top. Petit déjeuner somptueux.
Pas de possibilité réelle d une restauration le soir... mais à proximité de lieux où on peut se restaurer.
Nos encante, la verdad que ellos eran súper familiares, atentos y amables. En todo momento, tuvimos un problema con el segundo alojamiento al que íbamos y ellos nos ayudaron y no lo solucionaron enseguida
We hebben hier een enorm prettig verblijf gehad en daar hebben de mensen die hier werken zeker aan bijgedragen. Het personeel was erg vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Ze kwamen ons onverwachts nog een fruitmandje brengen, wat we ook erg konden waarderen. Zeker een aanrader om hier te verblijven!

Superbe séjour au Riad Shemsi. L'équipe du riad était disponible et attentive. Le riad est très bien situé dans une ruelle calme.
Außergewöhnlich schönes Riad mit hervorragendem Service, wunderschöner (auch im Februar beheizter!!!) Pool, tolle Bademäntel, Zimme rim arabischen Stil, Heizung für Handtücher und Klimaanlage, schöner Block vom Rooftop, schnuckelige Sitzgelegenheiten, gute Lage downtown, der Service was hervorragend, obwohl amn gebeten hatte Zimme rnciht zu machen wurden sie gemacht, fdas Frühstück war extrm lecker und frisch selbst gemacht, die Mitarbeiter waren bei allem äußerst zuvorkommend, freundlich, geduldig und hilfsbereit. sdf
Minibar evtl. abe rman durfte gern seine Sachen unten in den Kühlschrank stellen. Aufgrund der marokkanischen Lampen und der Holztüren und Fensterläden ist es etwas dunkel im Zimmer wenn man schon schlecht sieht. Schild als Wegweiser zum Riad wäre nett, war nachts kaum zu finden.
Uitstekende locatie in wat rustigere Kasbah sector. 15 minuten lopen van Jeema Plaza. Host uiterst behulpzaam, heerlijk ontbijt, prachtig dakterras

L’isolation des chambres
La piscine, la décoration d’une de nos deux chambres, le petit-déjeuner qui change tous les jours, l’amabilité de l’ensemble du personnel, la proposition d’une solution d’hébergement alternatif pour une partie de la famille dans un Riad voisin pour une nuit en raison d’un problème de plomberie. Le Riad est plutôt bien placé pour découvrir la ville.
La salle de bain d’une des deux chambres était petite et peu confortable, la douche se fermant par un rideau de douche.
Ciao riad molto bello di alto livello e di qualità Abdsamad ragazzo molto gentili disponibili sempre vicino per tutte demanda. Consiglio
Le personnel était très très gentil et accueillant, les locaux étaient propres et très confortables, le petit déjeuner est copieux et traditionnel, l’emplacement est génial pour aller visiter tous les endroits importants de Marrakech
La piscine était un peu froide
Το κατάλυμα ήταν πάρα πολύ ωραίο άνετο κ ήσυχο, μέσα στην πόλη με 4 λεπτά απόσταση με τα πόδια από την έξοδο bab laksiba όπου κ βολεύει για να ξεκινήσεις τις εκδρομές. Τα παιδιά στην ρεσεψιόν μας πρόσεξαν κ μας βοήθησαν σε ότι χρειαστήκαμε, Το πρωινό ήταν πλούσιο κ φρεσκομαγειρεμένο.
Staff gentilissimo e disponibile, posizione ottima si raggiungono a piedi le principali mete da visitare, pur essendo in una zona molto tranquilla; colazione abbondante. Stanza molto carina e accogliente.
La posizione centrale ma in una parte tranquilla . Lo staff , ragazzi fantastici , disponibili ad ogni richiesta , educati , professionali . Le stanze belle ed arredate in stile marocchino con spazi ampi . La colazione cucinata ogni giorno espressa e piena di particolari sapori . La cena fantastica .

Beautiful Riad and great staff - very kind and helpfull
For families, then this is not a full service experience, but very authentic
We really enjoyed our stay in Riad Shemsi. From before we arrived, they were very communicative and helped to arrange a pickup from the airport. I would recommend this to all travellers unfamiliar with Marrakesh because it meant we were met where the driver dropped us off and shown to the Riad. Upon arrival we were provided with a lovely mint tea and made to feel very welcome. The room was very comfortable and clean and having breakfast every morning was lovely. We took up the offer of having dinner at the Riad on our final night and it was by far the best meal we had in Marrakesh! In terms of the location, it is slightly out of the centre, but it’s still very easy to walk to anywhere in the Medina. We were actually very happy to be in the Kasbah because it felt more calm and quiet than other parts of the Medina!
Vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel, proper, rustige locatie Ontbijt was wel heel basic en vrij eentonig. Weinig keuze en variatie.
Te harde bedden! Iets te weinig licht overal om goed te kunnen lezen.
Accueil, lieu charmant et petit déjeuner. Emplacement idéal
Erg vriendelijk personeel, die de tijd voor je nam om je te helpen met bezienswaardigheden!

Das Riad Shemsi liegt im Kashbah-Viertel und ist eine Oase der Ruhe und des Rückzugs mit einem schönen Innenhof, einem kleinen Swimming-Pool und einer Dachterrasse. Alles wirkt sehr neu und sauber. Das Personal, insbesondere die beiden Manager, sind sehr hilfsbereit und freundlich. Als wir mitten in der Nacht ankamen, hat uns ein Manager an der Stelle abgeholt, bis zu der die Taxis fahren können. Als wir ein gesundheitliches Problem hatten, ist einer der Manager gleich ins Krankenhaus gekommen.
Die Dachterrassen könnten etwas besser gepflegt sein. Da fehlt es an Sonnenschutz und auch an angenehmem Licht.
Riad Shemsi ist eine sehr schöne Unterkunft wie aus 1001 Nacht. Der Gastgeber ist super freundlich und der Blick von der Dachterrasse ist einmalig. Vielen Dank!
Pour une première expérience au Maroc, nous avons été séduits quant à l'accueil que Abdel, Adam, Rachid et le personnel d'entretien nous ont réservé. D'une gentillesse incroyable Abdel a toujours été présent quand nous avions besoin pour l'organisation de nos sorties en journée et Adam et Rachid pour l'accueil du soir. La cuisine préparée avec soin nous a permis de découvrir les plats locaux accompagnés de frites 🥰
La piscine un peu froide mais nous y sommes allés quand-même 🤭😉 Ce n'est pas ce qu'on retiendra de notre séjour
Maison traditionnelle construite dans le style ancien de Marrakech, prestations haut de gamme et accueil chaleureux.
Nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre séjour chez Riad Shemsi. le Riad l’emplacement tout est top. Gros coup de cœur pour le personnel Hajar, Zineb, Abdel Samad Adam et Karim qui ont rendu notre séjour juste exceptionnel. Ils sont aux petits soins. Nous reviendrons c’est sur et certain !
Tout était parfait
De riad ligt op een rustige plek in de Kashba, midden in de Medina. ‘s Ochtends kregen we een heerlijk Marrokaans ontbijt. De staff was uiterst vriendelijk en behulpzaam.
Aussi fabuleux que l’an passé! Un grand merci à Rachid, Abdessamad et Adem pour leur gentillesse, leur dévouement et leur disponibilité. Mes fils sont venus seuls cette année et l’un d’eux a été malade les premiers jours, il a pu compter sur le personnel du Ryad qui était aux petits soins à ce moment délicat et même après ! Rien à dire! L’établissement toujours aussi chouette, calme, propre à 20mn à pieds du centre jama et fna. Pratique et un peu retiré . Petit déjeuner fabuleux et copieux
Rien comme d’habitude d’ailleurs nous revenons en octobre !
Endroit très calme, personnel très agréable.
Staff so helpful and friendly breakfast was beautiful would definitely recommend
The property is within the walls of the old city and as expected its access is via narrow lanes. The lanes are kept clean. The Riad itself is very well maintained. The staff take good care and guide you with good tips on where to go and what to do. Neighbourhood is quiet and not noisy. Breakfast was really very good with a good mix of Moroccan and continental choices. If I get a chance again, I would definitely stay here again.
The rooms could do with brighter lights. But that's not a deal breaker for me.
It was a beautiful tranquil place with friendly staff who went above and beyond.
There was nothing I did not like
The staff were super friendly, the decor was exceptional and the breakfast was delicious
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 Riad in a nice area in walking distance to the center of Marrakesh. Kind staff and great breakfast.
It can sometimes be a bit noisy in the evening. For us it was no problem.
Gorgeous Riad with friendly staff , like Rashid who was very helpful. Located in a quiter area of the Medina with a 10 minute walk to the centre
Breakfast could be improved by adding some fruit
