Riad Shaden

From the moment I arrived at the Riad, I feel welcomed and immersed in the culture of Marrakech. The hotel was traditionally inspired, I was welcomed in with tea and pastries on arrival and checked in with complete ease. The room I stayed in was a double bed with an en-suite bathroom, air conditioning was also in the room - which definitely helped cool me down after spending the day in the hot sun. The Riad is located a 20 minute walk away from the centre of the city and has markets dotted about throughout. It can be a little intimidating at first, but once I was there, I quickly picked up on the overall pace of the streets. The hotel was clean and organised and if you needed anything else, water, local knowledge, whatever you needed, the gentlemen at reception were more than happy to help. Although there’s mopeds and people walking/riding by, the Riad is located down a few alleys and puts it into a nice little spot that is quiet and comfortable, you truly wouldn’t realise you were next to a bustling street market. I had half board (breakfast and dinner) included in my stay, and I was completely blown away by the food, each and every night, it was phenomenal, cleaned my bowl multiple times because it was so good. The value of staying at Riad Shaden is brilliant, for the support, the knowledge and the welcoming environment, I would highly recommend staying here, and I wound stay here again when I return to Marrakech in the future!
