Painful experience from start. The host was nice, he was friendly and tried to give history of place even with broken English. Hotel was very neglected and didn't resemble the photos. Items listed as room items did not exist (fridge etc). The whole hotel stunk of sewage from landfill next door with smell coming through pipes into rooms. Honestly would just advise spending a extra hundred or 2 and go stay at another hotel.

I was at the Riad for 4 days and my experience was incredible. Very good location, very good structure of the hotel, room and common areas and the difference was the service, all the staff were very helpful but especially my friend Rabiaa who made my stay perfect. I recommend it to everyone and you will definitely have the best experience in Marrakesh

The accomodation is not bad and is strategically well positioned being very close to the northwest entrance of the Medina. Needless to hide it, the area is not magnificent, but the Riad is a small oasis where you take refuge after only a few minutes by walk in the chaos you encounter when you get off the taxi. The room (a senior suite) was spacious and had everything needed in terms of comfort. There are some details to improve but this is balanced by the kindness of the staff who in this case tip the balance towards an extremely positive experience rather than an unmemorable one. Rabia, in fact, was so kind and helpful that we almost wanted to take him back to our home. He helped us with excellent advices and with his infinite availability. Such people are the real added value of the accomodation and Marrakesh.

Don't go there! Payed the stay... tried to contact the Riad before arriving several times... but unsuccessful. When arriving.. nobody openend the door, after ringing the doorbell several times. We call them by phone 2-3 times... but no reply. This all while waiting in front of a closed door , dirty road, with some 'smoking' unhealthy looking people laying next to us. Money lost...

Appalling! After a long trip to Morocco I had to spend the last 3 nights in Marrakech in the Riad Shambala. The rave comments, the score of 9.1, and the photos suggested an exceptional stay. Nothing conformed to the comfort announced, far from it! Poorly maintained, dilapidated riad. Very very average breakfast. Pool ? A goldfish pond. Nothing flirtatious, clear, welcoming, appetizing. Cramped room, dark, impossible to read, bathroom without comfort. Oh yes ! A white bathrobe to look chic. Having arrived late, I packed up the next day for another riad which earned a rating of 9.1. I refuse to believe that the praise given to this riad is honest, impossible.

Terrible experiencia en el Riad Shambala. Nos alojamos dos noches en el Riad por 220 euros. La primera noche a nuestra llegada a las 20 horas, teníamos la habitación inundada porque había llovido, el señor del Riad nos dijo que avisaba al personal para que nos quitaran el agua de la habitación, la sorpresa es que a nuestra llegada a las 22:00 horas la habitación seguía igual y tuvimos que achicar el agua nosotros mismos de la habitación ya que estaba muy llena de agua( teníamos la alfombra, lavabo, ducha y media habitación con charcos de agua). El segundo día quedamos con un transfer que nos reservó el Riad para ir al aeropuerto a las 3.00 de la mañana, la sorpresa es que al levantarnos para marcharnos del hotel e ir al aeropuerto tenemos un whatsapp de la persona del hotel diciendo que había habido un problema con la transferencia del pago y que teníamos que pagar 220 euros en efectivo en ese mismo momento( mensaje que recibí a las 23:45 horas de la noche, con lo que nosotros ya estábamos durmiendo). Al despertarnos y hablar con la persona encargada del hotel, le dimos opciones para poder pagar el Riad( transferencia, bizum..) lo que ellos se negaron y decían que tenía que ser solo en efectivo( nosotros no disponíamos de más efectivo ya que habíamos cambiado todo porque nos marchábamos a nuestro país). No nos facilitaron ningún solución, tuvimos que transferir dinero a nuestra tarjeta e ir a un banco a sacar dinero para poder pagar en efectivo el hotel y pagárselo al transfer, el cual no tenía cambio y acabamos pagando 230 euros. No recomiendo el hotel ya que, la habitación está llena de humedades, se filtra el agua si llueve y salen chorros por la ducha y tú mismo tienes que recogerlo y la gestión de el me parece pésima, no se puede avisar a un cliente de problemas con el pago 1hora y 30 minutos antes de marcharse del país. No puedo darle 0 estrellas.
