Riad Shemsi - Marrakesh

The rooftop terrace offers fine views of the Atlas Mountains. The pool is a compact oasis that provides a refreshing break from the heat, especially appreciated during the sweltering afternoons.

The layout of the Chocolate Suite can be misleading, as the second room is a sizable distance away, and the squeaky bed might not offer the best rest. The overall decor could use a more luxurious touch to achieve a traditional riad feel, especially considering its location among other local houses.

The location was absolutely perfect and magnificent as for me, short walk to the Atlas mountains, the Shemsi and most things, especially Les Bains de Marrakesh. The breakfast was savoury with the traditional' galette' pancake and yoghurt, the best I had in Marrakesh.

Location close to Bains de Marrakech and Shemsi on the first night, Tanjia, Riad Monceau and L'Annexe. For shots visit Le Jasmin Restaurant and Bar, nestled within 5 minutes' walk of the hotel.

It felt quite chaotic as a large party of families took over the Riad, invading the common areas and disrupting what I expected to be a peaceful retreat. The noise level was unbearable at times, especially around the pool. I also found that communication regarding airport transfers was quite poor. Our pre-arranged transfer did not arrive.

A very friendly place to stay, it feels like a home. The staff are kind and helpful. Home-made yoghurt delicious for breakfast. Very peaceful after a tough day in the souks.

There is a big kitchen but they only serve breakfast

The staff were lovely and very helpful and the Riad was beautiful and quiet! Although it was quiet once inside the Riad you were only a short walk from the centre. The breakfasts were really good and our stay was faultless.

Riad Shemsi provided a wonderfully tranquil escape with its beautiful, clean facilities and attentive staff. I particularly enjoyed the good homemade breakfast with a variety of tasty Moroccan dishes. The staff's warm hospitality.

No kettle in the room.

If you are looking for a truly authentic slice of Moroccan life, then staying somewhere like this is an absolute must. The stafff here are very warm, friendly and cannot do enough for you. I stayed here because of the excellent reviews, and I was not disappointed in any respect. I would highly recommend this riad.

I stayed in the Orange Junior Suite and it was super cozy! The bed and pillows were really comfy. Breakfast was delicious and filling. Just a short walk to the central square, a plus. The rooftop terrace was a nice spot for morning coffee with a view! Only downside? The room could've used a kettle for making hot drinks. Apart from that, it was a lovely stay!

Everything! Fine rooftop views, really good cleanliness, friendly staff!

It was a solid choice for shopping in Marrakesh with good price-value balance. The staff surprised us with unique breakfast options every morning that kept things interesting. Make sure to check out the rooftop terrace for sunbathing.

Staff at Riad Shemsi create a welcoming environment, showing really good attentiveness during my solo visit. The peaceful roof terrace was perfect for enjoying morning coffee, although navigating through the winding alleys could be challenging at times, especially in heels.

Staying at riad shemsi was a lovely experience! The location is just a short walk to the busy souks, perfect for exploring. The service was really good, especially from abdallah and rachid, who were always ready to assist. Breakfast was diverse and good, keeping things fresh each morning. The rooftop terrace offers fine views over the area, perfect for soaking up some sun.

strongly recommend

Can recommend for a quick weekend visit

Charming Riad, really good amenities, offered generous breakfast with good Moroccan coffee and had a convenient location just a short distance from significant attractions.

The location was perfect, just a short walk to the main square and surrounded by many eateries. Highlights included the delicious and diverse breakfast options served daily, which always brought something new. Our room was somewhat outdated, and the noise from the surrounding area was noticeable at times. The lack of a kettle in the room for convenient hot drinks was a slight inconvenience.
