Riad Shaden

"Overall experience was very average. Rooms need maintenance and the Location is a 20-25 mins walk to jemaa el-fnaa. There is also currently construction work taking place next to the Riad. The Breakfast was plentiful and fresh but no eggs/omelette and became repetitive after a while. We had dinner on one of the days and it was lovely. Staff are nice but the Location/Rooms let it down. Was difficult dragging suitcases to this location from the drop off point especially with family and in the heat."

"Have just realised I haven’t reviewed from my trip last year! What a fantastic find Riad Shaden was I’m a travel agent from the UK and highly recommend to all of my customers. From start to finish the staff were fantastic and a real credit to the Riad. When we were dropped off at the closest entry point to the Medina one of the staff came and took our bags and escorted us to the Riad. We had a lovely welcome drink and introduction, given some great trips and also given information on excursions available through the Riad. Although we didn’t book an excursion we did use the option of private transfers to Jardin Majorelle & YSL Museum. The cost was just added onto our room bill for check out. We walked to the souls and Jemaa el Fnna square easily and multiple times. We had no issues from locals who were just going about their day. A few times there was small children trying to escort us back to the Riad in exchange for money but they understood when we declined. Breakfast was great and the roof terrace is relaxing. We also purchased some drinks from the Road throughout our stay and just added onto our room bill. Overall a great location with fantastic staff and would definitely return! Thank you!!"

"We booked this Riad with Hays Travel in the Bridges Sunderland. It had Excellent Reviews This was the main reason we booked it. We were met at the end of the road by Mohamed who helped us with our cases once inside the Riad we were shown to our room I had upgraded to the larger Blue room, I did this by what’s app message to the owner Shorna we also booked a meal on arrival. The meal was Excellent A Home cooked 3 course meal. Our room had a large double bed a large sofa bed which we used to sit on Our bed was comfortable the room was clean, there was a lady who cleaned each morning and did a good job. We also had a very large walk-in shower. We booked all our trips through the Riad and had a private driver called Said who is a pleasant Man and a safe driver. The Trips were well organised our memorable moment were the Hot Air Balloon and the meal up a Hill after the quad Bike ride, Saids Wife does the cooking at the Riad. And was in charge of the cookery class this is a must to do you get to eat the food that day, After a few days Mohamed had the pleasure of going to Scotland and Saids Brother looked after us at meal times. The whole Experience at Riad Shaden went well. I put this down to it being owned by a lovely Scottish lady who has an eye for detail and looks after her staff and guests well. I would definitely recommend this Riad. It is calm after a day out in the hustle and bustle of Madagascar. I would also like to point out that there is a roof terrace with comfortable sun loungers.and the rooms have smoke detectors in them"
