Terrible arrival and got locked out at night!
The room and the riad overall are nice and beautiful as expected from the photos, and the location is quite good too. Our arrival experience wasn't great though. The driver who drove us there could only drop us off at the nearest spot which was about two minutes walk to the riad. He called the raid hoping that they could send someone out to bring us to the riad, as it's nothing easy to find. However, the riad's people didn't come out, but instead they asked someone else on the street to bring us in. Not only that the guy wanted to do that for a fee, the guy actually didn't know how to get there neither, so he misled us to go around couple blocks with our heavy luggage, and then finally asked another kid to bring us there. When we arrived, the guy requested us to also give money to that kid. The whole experience was terrible! Right at the beginning it showed us how people there were irresponsible and dishonest. Beware! One night after dinner we arrived back to the riad at 10pm, and we couldn't get in! The door was always locked and we had to ring the bell, but no one answered. We were outside the riad door for 15 minutes, ringing the bell and knocking on the door. Imagine it's at night in the middle of an alley of an old town in Morocco and we got locked outside! Finally we found a way to call the riad, and the guy said he couldn't hear the door bell!

Really great staff and good location near the bus station and grand taxis. Heating in the room could be better and a curtain for privacy for the bath tub is needed. Good breakfast, help booking tour and ordering pizza. Breakfast area was really cold.

Comfortable room, good location!
Service was excellent! We enjoyed the complimentary coffee/tea, and there were plenty of nearby bakeries to buy breakfast. The location was great, very walkable and near a metro station. The room was small, but as expected for Paris in this price range. The mattresses were extremely comfortable , and the blackout blinds were a great feature.

Comfortable Stay
We enjoyed our stay in Riad Shambala. It is conveniently located in the Medina and only about 15 minutes walk to the Marrakesh center. The courtyard was beautiful and room is comfortable. The staff was very friendly & welcoming, and they offer you moroccan tea whenever you come to the riad. Soufian gave us the map of the medina, showed us how to get to each of the important places and gave his phone number to contact him in case we are lost. Their complementary breakfast was very good. We also had dinner in the riad which was an excellent experience with delicious food in a pleasant and peaceful atmosphere. The only thing I would ask for is little more brighter lambs in the room.
