RIAD SHADEN

This was our 4th visit here and it gets better each time. We are delighted to call the staff friends now ,as always we were well looked after and nothing is too much trouble for them and not only have we experienced this ourselves but have seen it with other guests too.This is the perfect base to explore Marrakech as you are in the heart of the Medina and the Riad have an excellent driver Abdul who they use for trips. Looking forward to being back to Riad Shaden in the near future.

Marrakech is an exciting place to visit but sometimes it's necessary to take a break. Riad Shaden is a small hotel located in a cul-de-sac. For this reason it's a very quiet and peaceful hideout far away from the caothic traffic of the big city. The service is excellent and very helpful. We also want to thank the hoteliers, they were a great deal of attendance and hospitality. Neher Mestre family

This is such a lovely hotel. We stayed for 7 nights and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Such friendly staff, really peaceful and our room was lovely: amazing carved plaster ceiling, colourful tiles and coloured glass windows with shutters that looked onto a covered courtyard. I also liked the fact that it was located in the middle of the old town. It really helped to give us a feel for the real Morocco and the local people were really nice. Little kids practising their French and English with us and the adults smiling and saying Bonjour - not touristy like around the main Square but close enough to walk to all the main attractions. We'll definitely be back.

I've just returned from a week long stay at Riad Shaden and I can honestly say that the welcome and hospitality that my partner and I received here was a key factor in making my trip to Marrakech so enjoyable. Located around a 10 min walk from Jemma El-Fna (main square), it's a great location for exploring and also for getting a feeling for life in this historical area of the city. You can make you're way to all the main attractions and some excellent restaurants on foot. The staff, Saiid and Mohammed, were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay. They helped to organise transport to and from the airport and were able to provide advice on tours. We booked our stay very last minute, which meant we got the chance to stay in two different styles of rooms during the visit - the suite and also one of the main double rooms. The Suite was very nice and spacious with a day bed and bath, but the standard room was equally as comfortable. The breakfasts were simple, but delicious, traditional Moroccan start to the day - different breads and pancakes, fruit and yoghurts which set us up for the day. We also dined at the Riad - the evening menu was excellent, with a good selection of traditional Moroccan meals - both vegetarian and meat dishes available. I really enjoyed the vegetarian couscous. I loved this place and will definitely be returning the next time I travel to the city.

A good 15 min walk from Jma El Fna. Warm hosts, simple breakfast. Maybe 8 rooms , nicer ones on first and second floor. Do email hotel to be collected from taxi drop off in the medina. Clean and nicely decorated.Able to organise all local excursions. I did the 3 night Sahara tour and I day to waterfalls.
