First of all, the pictures are real, that's exactly how it looks in reality: a jewel of a riad, small, chic...you feel like you're in a palace. As I entered, I smelled orange blossom and forgot about the unwelcoming landscape outside the riad. All the staff are kind, but special thanks to Mr. A... from the security guard, who prepared us breakfast most mornings. Ahmet took care of the transfer from/to the airport,which I recommended. Cleaning in the room daily, functional air conditioning, TV with Netflix. Too bad the water in the pool was cold for this period ...Impressive decor, like in a dream.

Este o sugestie, nu un aspect negativ: Micul dejun f.bun dar f dulce!!! Pentru turistii care stau mai multe nopti, s-ar putea incerca o diversificare( ex: masline, oua)

We had an amazing time staying at Riad Shajara and were looked after extremely well by Ahmed and his team. The Riad is a very beautiful and luxurious place to stay in Marrakesh. It is set in an excellent location for visiting the main tourist attractions. The facilities were excellent and the rooftop area was a fantastic place to relax. The breakfast was delicious, with an excellent traditional selection. Ahmed was extremely helpful, kind and patient and took the time to answer our questions, make recommendations and organise activities for us. We cannot recommend Riad Shajara enough! We would definitely stay again.

Cannot rate this establishment highly enough. A gorgeous, luxurious riad at the heart of the Medina with warm and welcoming staff who go above and beyond to meet your every need. A special thank you to Ahmed, who was an exceptional host, making sure we were well cared for from even before we arrived to Morocco. He managed bookings, gave local recommendations, escorted us to taxis, called places on our behalf, and always made sure we were having a pleasant time. It really was the handcrafted, personalised and thoughtful service from all staff members that elevated this already great experience into a fantastic one. The property itself is beautiful and quiet, and we also really enjoyed the rich and delicious breakfast served every morning at the time and location of your own choice!

Nothing, really

The riad is a true gem in the heart of the medina, a small oasis amidst the alleyways, with an absolutely excellent location just a few minutes’ walk from Jemaa el-Fnaa Square. It’s truly amazing—stepping away from the hustle and bustle of the streets, you find yourself in a completely different world. Impeccable cleanliness, authentic ambiance, and decor with new, flawless furniture. Additionally, a delightful scent fills the entire riad, noticeable even from several meters away before you reach the entrance. The staff is absolutely wonderful, especially Ahmed, who helped with everything—truly everything. There wasn’t a single thing he couldn’t resolve. His presence is incredibly reassuring! The organized tour (Ourika Valley) was absolutely five-star, offering an authentic taste of rural Moroccan life—it exceeded our expectations and was an even better experience than we had hoped for. I also want to highlight the care and attention at breakfast, which presented a beautifully arranged local culinary experience with great aesthetic sense. Additionally, there is a security guard present every night in the riad, ensuring visitors feel completely safe. Thank you for the experience; it was truly a refreshing delight!

There is just one thing I would like to mention, more as a suggestion than a criticism: by the third day, the abundance of sweet flavors at breakfast felt a bit overwhelming. Perhaps offering a few savory options would be a great addition. :)

We loved staying in this Riad, the location is great, close to the main square which you can reach in a few minutes, quiet at night, very clean and an incredible breakfast! All the staff always attentive to what we needed, even the owner the last day came to see us, but we have to make special mention to Ahmed! he is incredible, always helping us by phone in anything we needed, taxi, reservations, recommendations.... came to say goodbye on his day off...... sunshine person!! no doubt we will come back!!!!!!!!!!

What a great place! We found the location perfect, not too busy and not far from all the sights. The staff were fantastic and always on hand to support. Big shout out to Ahmed who was fantastic at giving recommendations, booking taxis and overall just being a great guy! I know there are 100s of Riads in Marrakech and I've not been in them all but if you're looking for a comfortable stay I'd say just hit the book button. Oh and breakfast was 10/10. See you again Riad Shajara!

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. (SAVE YOURSELF TIME AND BOOK, TRUST ME I HAVE READ REVIEWS ON OVER 40 RIADS IN MARRAKECH YOU WILL NOT REGRET YOUR STAY) Facilities/Comfort: 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/Safety: 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. Location is perfect to explore Medina area by foot. 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.

Nothing, I loved my stay and will return when back in Marrakech hopefully soon.

all the staff were exceptional . They were so caring , accommodating and so helpful . We felt so at peace staying here. Every morning we were served a beautiful breakfast, the staff went out of their way to make sure could have the best holiday. At the end of our trip unfortunately there was a natural disaster , an earthquake which you can imagine was scary but the night guard did his best to look after us and made us feel comfortable. We couldn’t ask for a better Riad or a better trip. We would recommend this Riad to absolutely everybody you will be guaranteed an amazing stay.

There is absolutely nothing to dislike about the property

Everything! The property overall was incredible, the rooftop was perfect for relaxing and most importantly the staff, Ahmed, Abdeslam, Rachida and Nada were all amazing hosts. They went out of their way to provide breakfast prior to the usual start time when we had booked an early morning excursion and were always around to make sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely be returning!

Nothing

We were greeted by a lovely man who welcomed us and helped us to our room. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay from start to finish. The traditional Moroccan breakfast was delicious and plentiful, leaving us beyond content and satiated for a busy day exploring the medina. The tranquility and beauty of the property can not be understated. Thank you for the stay; some would say Morocc-o I say Morocc-woah.

All good
