6/10 Good

Terrible arrival and got locked out at night!
The room and the riad overall are nice and beautiful as expected from the photos, and the location is quite good too. Our arrival experience wasn't great though. The driver who drove us there could only drop us off at the nearest spot which was about two minutes walk to the riad. He called the raid hoping that they could send someone out to bring us to the riad, as it's nothing easy to find. However, the riad's people didn't come out, but instead they asked someone else on the street to bring us in. Not only that the guy wanted to do that for a fee, the guy actually didn't know how to get there neither, so he misled us to go around couple blocks with our heavy luggage, and then finally asked another kid to bring us there. When we arrived, the guy requested us to also give money to that kid. The whole experience was terrible! Right at the beginning it showed us how people there were irresponsible and dishonest. Beware! One night after dinner we arrived back to the riad at 10pm, and we couldn't get in! The door was always locked and we had to ring the bell, but no one answered. We were outside the riad door for 15 minutes, ringing the bell and knocking on the door. Imagine it's at night in the middle of an alley of an old town in Morocco and we got locked outside! Finally we found a way to call the riad, and the guy said he couldn't hear the door bell!

Really great staff and good location near the bus station and grand taxis. Heating in the room could be better and a curtain for privacy for the bath tub is needed. Good breakfast, help booking tour and ordering pizza. Breakfast area was really cold.

Comfortable room, good location!
Service was excellent! We enjoyed the complimentary coffee/tea, and there were plenty of nearby bakeries to buy breakfast. The location was great, very walkable and near a metro station. The room was small, but as expected for Paris in this price range. The mattresses were extremely comfortable , and the blackout blinds were a great feature.

Comfortable Stay
We enjoyed our stay in Riad Shambala. It is conveniently located in the Medina and only about 15 minutes walk to the Marrakesh center. The courtyard was beautiful and room is comfortable. The staff was very friendly & welcoming, and they offer you moroccan tea whenever you come to the riad. Soufian gave us the map of the medina, showed us how to get to each of the important places and gave his phone number to contact him in case we are lost. Their complementary breakfast was very good. We also had dinner in the riad which was an excellent experience with delicious food in a pleasant and peaceful atmosphere. The only thing I would ask for is little more brighter lambs in the room.

We loved our stay at this riad. It is a traditional riad and the room was not very spacious, but the service was exceptional and it was a near experience to stay there. The breakfast was fantastic too.

Home in the Medina
Having taken advice about arriving in the Medina at night, I contacted the riad a few days before and arranged their collection service from the airport. This turned out to be a good idea as we would never have found it on our own! We were made to feel welcome from the moment we arrived. As we settled in with mint tea, Basu explained all we needed to know and even though it was 10pm we were offered a meal. The room was on the second floor (no lifts) and with twin beds (as I has requested) was perfect for 2 female friends. Everything was very clean, we had bathrobes, slippers and basic toiletries provided and there was plenty of room. The next day we were a little late for breakfast but this was no problem to the staff, who served us a beautiful breakfast on the roof terrace with views across to the Atlas mountains. The only food included in the price was breakfast, but they were happy to make us other meals and all the food we had at the riad was very well presented and very good (breakfasts, tagines, salads, etc.) All the staff were very friendly and we felt very safe and welcome. The riad was having a re-wire and partial re-furb whilst we were there but this was of no inconvenience to us and each day we came back from exploring it looked prettier than before! Basu was more than willing to help us to find places, he even walked all the way to the Jardin Majorelle with us to make sure we found it. He also gave us his phone number to call him in case we got lost in the medina.

Bien. Aunque algo apartado de la plaza Jemma, lugar de referencia para todo ( zoco, ambiente...) está a mas de 30 minutos callejeando x la Medina ( x la noche es recomendable taxi , aun así hay q andar algo xq no pueden entrar a la Medina, x la noche algo inseguro). Desayuno casero y rico. Anfitriones muy agradables, siempre dispuestos a ayudarte , t ofrecen té continuamente cono simbolo de hospitalidad. Cama comodísima y sábanas muy agradables al tacto. Voy a poner peros, no hay bebidas ( salvo agua,) x si t apetece tomar un refresco en la terraza del riad. A la llegada tendrian q poner un par de botillas de agua en la habitación, mas productos de higiene , ta que en toda nuestra estancia apenas nos dieron 2 geles.
