We stayed with the Riad in June of 2009. From the moment we arrived, we were in for a treat. Knowing fully that this was a Riad and not a hotel, we got MORE than we expected. The staff, Nadia, Joel, Jimela, Abdou..all incredibly helpful, welcoming and warm. We were especially delighted to find a huge dinner with music and... more

We stayed in Riad Karmela which is in a great location North East of the Jma El Fna square in the medina. A short walk from the square, either through the Souk or another choice of winding alleys brings you to a solid looking door, behind which is a tranquil retreat from the excitement of Marrakech. The roof terrace, which... more

We have just returned from four days at the Riad Karmela. It is tucked away in the Medina within walking distance of the Jemma El Fna square (8 mins). The Staff and owner are very friendly, efficient and speak perfect English. Day trips from the Riad can be organised, we visited Ourika Valley, a great trip, and it gets you... more

Suprised my husband with a holiday for his birthday. Not what I expected to be honest. Thought it would be more for tourists but is a proper village. However its about 8 minutes walk to the main square where there are stalls and a few restaurants so its close for this. Firstly the flight was delayed and awful flying with... more

Cannot recommend this place enough! The Riad was magical, a peaceful haven in the madness of Marrakech. The short walk to the Jeema-El-Fna through the souks was a daily treat but returning to the Riad after a hectic day touring & fending off sellers was wonderful. We ate at the Riad twice during our stay and the food is highly... more

We were three women (three generations) staying at Riad Karmela. Overall, it was one step above the other riads we saw. The Riad is very calm, cozy and charming. The service is impeccable and very friendly. They work with a network of very competent and trustworthy guides and drivers, who can provide a great experience whatever you want to do.... more

We stayed in this Riyad last week with 4 women. It was a very beautiful experience, better this really traditional and beautiful than we could imagine!! The Riyad is situated in a very small street in the middle of the Medina near all the important places. The owner is very nice and the employees are wonderful!! Enjoyed a bath in... more

This is the second time I have stayed at Riad Karmela. The first time was a romantic getaway in January. This time with 8 business colleagues escaping from London for a weekend of pampering and bonding. Right from the start being collected from the airport and guided down the narrow twisty streets. Being welcomed with a beaming smile and a... more

Everything about our stay at this riad was fantastic. They arranged for us to be met at the airport which was great and the taxi drivers they use are polite and helpful. The riad is STUNNING. Our room was fabulous and the bathroom was lovely. The courtyard and roof terrace are amazing and we really enjoyed coffee on the roof... more
