Riad Shaden In Marrakech Medina - Sleeps 14

We hired the whole Riad for my sisters 50th birthday and stayed for 3 nights (not long enough)!! We were a group of 15 middle aged females and enjoyed every minute from start to end.... The locals were very welcoming, the food was "different" the atmosphere, cultutre and hospitality second to none. We found our way to and from the Riad with no problems. One of our cases appeared to have been tampered with by airport staff and we were unable to unlock it, Youssef managed to break the lock for us and replaced it with a new one, the CD player decided to pack up on us and he replaced that within hours!! now thats what I call service. Im certain I speak for every single person in our group when I say THANK YOU to Youssef, Said and the ladies for making our stay at Riad Shaden one to remember and for making us feel sooo welcome. I would love to go back to Morocco and when I do Ill most definately be staying here. When changing money, dont change too much at the airport Youssef will take you to the square and show you where to get the best rate. Sukie D, March 2012

Absolutely love love loved staying at Riad Shaden- one of the best holidays I have ever been on!! My sister and I booked for 4 nights and we were blown away by the vibrant location, wonderful staff and the value of the accommodation. Youseff and Said were so very helpful, booking hammams, restaurant reservations, escorting us to pick and dro p off points and providing info on excursions (Said even prepared breakfast for us at 05.30am as we were going on an early excursion!). We also met the owners Shona and Ronnie who were a pleasure to speak to and had a vast knowledge of Marrakech and a genuine interest in the local culture. Shona was so helpful prior to our stay as I bombarded her with emails about sightseeing and taxi transfers etc! Breakfast was spot on and filled us up nicely for our busy days ahead. Rooms were cosy, clean and tastefully decorated- there were a number of rooms for guests to chill out in aside from the bedrooms which was lovely. We loved the 15 minute walk to the main square from the Riad as it gave purpose to our days and ensured we saw more of Marrakech than just the centre of the Medina. Marrakech itself was fabulous, burstling with energy and we found the locals to be very friendly. Riad Shaden is a little gem, I cannot recommend it enough. Both my sister and I felt quite emotional when saying goodbye to everyone and we will certainly be planning a further stay in the future, hopefully with all our friends next time!
