In Marrakesh's heart, Riad whispers ancient tales, Timeless oasis. Sizzling heat waves dance, Cool pool invites soothing respite, Escape summer's grasp. Guiding through the path, Staff of generosity, Kindness lights the way.
Nothing but nothing but nothing but nothing was bad but this box needs to be filled. So with aimless wandering I could find no fault but egregious joys last only so long.

the service received from Raschid was absolutely fantastic. He was very professional and courteous. the rooms were very clean modern looking and you can tell they have been maintained unlike most property in Morroco. Abdussamad was very accommodating and helped us whilst we were at the Riad. The breakfast was nutritious and healthy. The location was great and only 15-20mins away from JEF square.
Paying for water. Atleast one bottle of water should be given complementary per day. It was quite expensive as going to nearby shops was vvv cheap.

It was my first trip to Marrakesh, and finding the Riad Shemsi was initially a little tricky - but it was well worth it. The team are outstanding. Very friendly, knowledgeable about the area, and made me feel very much at home! The swimming pool area is beautiful, and the roof terrace was great to sit with a coffee and absorb the sounds of Marrakesh waking up. The breakfast is excellent - my first intro to Moroccan pancakes! And the portions are incredibly generous.
This is more on me, but I am a little noise sensitive so being on the ground floor with the lounge area just outside my room, was a little noisy for me - but nothing headphones couldn't handle (i.e. there are no parties - just the sounds of talking etc.)

Absolutely fantastic place. Wonderful, cozy rooms. Pleasant smell. Refreshing pool. Delicious breakfast. We especially want to thank the staff who gave their full attention in a stressful situation. Since we had to leave the country in a hurry, this place was the last one we stayed at, and we felt extremely safe. Although we had to stop the trip - we believe that we will come back to you again.
Nothing.

The pool was great to cool down in July as well as the air conditioning in the room. The Riad is located in a quiet street too.
It's a little walk from some tourist attractions but at the same time it is also away from the crowd.

The Riad is located in a very nice neighborhood inside Medina of Marrakesh. It is small and peaceful. Abdallah and Rachid are very helpful and always available to help, the service and the food is excellent, rooms are nice and clean. If you go by car the best way to find the location which is close to the Riad is caf Clock. You can call the guys 10 min before your arrival and they will wait there for you and they will help you with your suitcases. Parking is max 10 min walking and the guys will take you there. Overall a very nice experience. Thank you guys.

So many plus points for this delightful Riad. The staff - especially Abdessamad (Sam) & Rashid - were excellent hosts. The room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast healthy and hearty. The rooftop terrace a little haven away from the other guests (see below). I would have no hesitation in recommending this property, but only on the condition that the other rooms where not booked by large groups.
There are 5 rooms and 1 suite at the Riad. Our party occupied 2 of the rooms. Unfortunately the remaining 3 rooms & suite were occupied by a large party of American families who basically 'took over' the Riad - even to the extreme of inviting in some of their friends who were staying in other accommodation to join their partying! There was little, or no, consideration for other paying guests staying at the Riad. The sheer volume of 10+ people & screaming (boy did they scream!) kids around the little pool completely shattered what would have otherwise been a serene, calm oasis away from the lunacy of the rest of the city (Marrakech is fantastic fun, but you do need a break from the hussle and bussle of the main square). Had I been aware of the room allocation, I would have sought out alternative accommodation as our stay was definitely impacted by the behaviour of the other guests.

Our stay at Riad Shemsi was simply exceptional. The facilities are exactly as shown in the photos, very well maintained and super clean. The location is great, walking distance to every landmark but in a quieter area which allows for a more relaxing and pleasant stay. It is also very convenient for car pick-up and drop-off points for daytrips, arrivals, departures, etc. The staff is super welcoming and always willing to do anything in their power to make you feel comfortable and at home. Breakfast is very nice, with something new everyday. The dinners are also delicious, great quantity and the food is all homemade, it was probably the best we had in Marrakesh. We definitely recommend it and cant wait to come back!

The location in a quiet street in the Southern part of the Medina is great. There are some really good restaurants in the area, which were all recommended by the super friendly and helpful hotel staff. Hafsa and her colleagues helped us booking day trips, prepared amazing breakfast and tea and were always there for questions and for a chat about Marrakesh and Morocco. You can book your day trips at Shemsi on short notice. Also, the pool is large enough for a good swim to cool down from the heat. Again, shukran to Hafsa and her colleagues for accommodating us.

We liked the style and character of the hotel and the friendliness of the staff. The breakfast was nice.
It was a little hard to communicate to arrange things, for example our pre-arranged airport transfer didnt arrive at the airport to collect us. And there was no information about Marrakesh easily available/on display in the hotel.
Thank you for your information!
