We had a wonderful stay at Riad Shajara. The location is excellent and the riad itself is beautiful. Communication with the hosts was easy and smooth from the start, and they were helpful and welcoming throughout our stay. Overall, we really liked our experience and would definitely recommend Riad Shajara to anyone visiting Marrakesh.

I would love to have more breakfast options (some eggs, cheese, meat, oat flakes).

The riad has beautiful interior. It is in the medina, very close to the main square. The rooms were very quiet, spatious and comfortable. Staff was very helpful.

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.

Very good location in the Medina, very close to everything you could wish for. The staff, especially Ahmed, were very kind and ready to help with any issue. The riad overall was incredible, a little haven in the midst of the Medina. The traditional Moroccan breakfast was delicious.

All good

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.

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!

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!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this absolutely stunning riad. The riad very peaceful and quite. The rooms are quite large. Ahmed, and the rest of the staff were very nice people who went out of their way to serve us breakfast before standard hours as we had an early morning. The place is very pretty and peaceful. Would 100% recommend to anyone planning to visit Marrakesh.

It’s located in the labyrinth streets of old part of Marrakech, which made us feel not really safe walking back after sunset. And taxi can stop only ~100m from the entrance, so you’ll need to carry your bags. But that might be the problem of every riad in old town.

The staff were very helpful, they’re really good people. The inside garden is quite small, but cute.

For Latin Europeans, single portion coffee like Nespresso would be a plus at breakfast.

Very accommodating and helpful staff. Location was perfect (Medina). Host also helped to reserve table @ traditional restaurant. Awesome traditional tea, Beautiful architecture and sunny terrasse to relax.

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. :)

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!

Nothing, really

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!

The location is down some alleys from the main thoroughfare of the medina so a little intimidating for solo travellers at night and some taxi drivers are reluctant to take you close to the property despite nearby parking.

A little haven in the midst of the Medina. Rooms are beautiful, breakfast excellent and staff lovely.
