We stayed in riad shemsi for 4 nights and had a wonderful time. It was clean, light and really well decorated, with a pretty courtyard and a small roof terrace for breakfast, sunbathing or a refreshing mint tea after a hectic day in the souks. Noura and Mohammed looked after us so well booking taxis, restaurants and nothing was too... More

Girls trip, we had the riad to ourselves. It is beautiful! From the rooms, the pool to the breakfast quarters to the lounge on the roof! I loved the mint tea and the flat bread served for breakfast. The staff were quite friendly and helpful. It is 10 mins away from the city and costs a few dhirams by taxi.... More

As we were staying in Riad Shemsi for a week we decided to book the Chocolate Suite and we did not regret it. The room was spacious with a comfortable bed. The large shower room had lovely toiletries and bath robes. Breakfast is very nice with delicious homemade yogurt but there was no variety. We had two lovely evening meals... More

I stayed here with a friend for just one night but it was lovely- the staff were really friendly and helped us to plan our short time in the city, suggesting a great hammam etc. Its peaceful and beautifully decorated, comfortable and reasonably priced! highly recommended.

We traveled with our 2-year-old to Marrakesh in October and were delighted to find that Riad Shemsi met our family needs perfectly. We've heard that small riads can be tough to have toddlers in (since sound carries so well), but this was a lovely riad with the perfect sized pool and terraces for a little one. The staff was fantastic... More

This Riad is recommended for the ones who are tired from a busy, dirty and noisy Marrakech. The location is a little nit far from Jamaa El Funa (15 minutes walking) and there is no bank or ATM near this Riad. But the Riad has a small but a nice swimming pool and all rooms are with air conditioner. Then... More

Stayed four nights we had two rooms, the Orange and Berbere. As others have said provided relaxing tranquility after the hustle and busle of Marrakech. The staff are very friendly but not intrusive. The breakfasts are good and arrives when you are ready.
