Good location
They overcharged us, I lost my genius discount and breakfast was booked and not included. My cousin was offered two single beds although we booked two doubles and they charged well over what we agreed to pay.

Yunes is an absolute star! The riad on its own is great but he made the experience 10x better! Very considerate, attentive & always willing to help.
The lobby/breakfast area is absolutely beautiful & the terrace is also very nice ?.

Prior to coming, we had a bad experience with a different riad and so we moved here. The staff was super friendly and kind and the pool was so nice after a long hot day at the souks (they even gave us free drinks while using the pool). The rooftop is super nice and has a really nice view of Marrakech. Me and my friend were staying together and the bathroom was bit open, but we didn’t mind honestly because it was such a beautiful room and comfy.
they don’t take visa and there was a very minor issue with AC once but they fixed it right away anyway.

Riad Shambala was an amazing place to stay! Rabiaa was a very helpful host who went out of his way to make us feel welcome and comfortable. Breakfast was provided along with tea throughout the day, the Riad is on the doorstep of the medina and easy to access, the room was exactly what we wanted and the rooftop and pool were stunning. My wife and I loved the stay! Thanks Rabiaa

Rabia welcomed & hosted us as if we were family. His colleagues were also outstanding & the riad was kept exceptionally clean & well attended. Comfortable beds in traditional style bedrooms, plenty of bedding for colder nights, lots of very hot water. A lovely rooftop & courtyard. The location in the Medina is excellent. It was a privilege & a pleasure to stay at Riad Sgambala

Rabia was a fantastic host and could not have been more helpful. He booked our trips and an additional Riad, Sun of Kech, when we extended our trip and Shambala was booked. Location (with GPS using local sim card, which is a must) is good.
The Riad is uncovered without heating and is cold in winter, when you eat in an open space for breakfast and dinner, and the air-conditioning in the room didn't provide enough warmth, so base layers essential. Hot water for bath is limited, and ours ran out when bath only a third full. Same breakfast every day, which for a week becomes a bit repetitive, and we went out twice.

Perfect stay for a trip to Marocco. The owner is the best helper. He can find everything, just ask.
Price a little expensive

The heart of this riad truly comes from its staff. We felt very welcomed and supported by Rabia, who also helped to coordinate our day-trip to Essaouira. It was a sanctuary to come back to the riad after a busy day visiting the city. The hotel breakfast was also delicious.
We were originally concerned by the comments that discussed loud noise (we even packed ear plugs just in case), but we were not disturbed by the noise in our rooms. The riad has two rooftop terraces that we didn't immediately notice from the photos, which we loved. It is also lot brighter during the day in the courtyard than the pictures seem to show, which we were pleasantly surprised by.

The riad is situated in the outer part of the medina. Everything can be reached in walking distance but it is more quiet than right in the center, which is nice.
Also Radi and his colleague are very friendly and extremely helpful with booking trips and recommendations for the city.

The riad has a good location and it’s the best riad in Marrakech!!! Everyone was so kind,helpful and friendly!! The riad was always so clean. The breakfast was tasty, and they have the best tea.
The rooftop has an amazing 360° view for the city, and it’s the best spot for the sunset.
We are 100000% satisfied and we can only recommend this riad!
I will definitely go back.
