I have stayed in Marrakech 4 times in hotels just outside the Medina, but this is where I would now return. It's a charming riad with so many beautiful spaces to relax in. Its location is excellent and the staff are so friendly and helpful. Delicious evening meals.

I found Riad Karmela on Tripadvisor and booked a single night stay there for my first night in Morocco before moving on to the Atlas Mountains. I ended up staying another night and delaying my mountain trip because this place is so amazing. Needless to say, once I'd spent a week in the mountains I came back to Karmela for... More

I was recommended Riad Karmela by my niece (who is a great traveller) and we couldn't have been more delighted. Tucked away in a tiny tunnelled street in the Medina, you would never know it was there. Take the offered transport from the hotel or you will never find it! After going through a tiny door, it opens out into... More

My family and I stayed in this Riad in Febuary 2013. We knew little of the city itself, however we felt this would be an interesting, exploitative experience for our teenage children, to get away from the artificial ways of the Cote D'Azur. Marrakesh, was without doubt an adventure.The Riad Karmela was a haven for the family, and helped us... More

Great riad in the center of the Marrakech souq. Very friendly staff who welcomed us with biscuits and mint tea. Big and quiet room, which was great to return to after all the hustle and bustle in the souq. Unfortunately the weather wasn't that great when we visited, but I'm sure the roof terrace is an excellent place to spend... More

I came to stay at Riad Karmela for three nights with my mother, and we both LOVED it! The Riad is an absolute gem - it has everything you need, the staff are incredibly helpful and is generally a blissful place to relax. We stayed in a twin room immediately off the main courtyard, which we initially thought would be... More

An oasis amongst the hustle and bustle of central Marrakech. Centrally located just 10 yards from the main route around the medina, 5 / 10 minutes from the souk and main square. Peaceful and beautifully decorated courtyard (where breakfast and dinner are serviced), and spacious roof terrace(s) with a number of differently furnished seating areas. Rooms traditionally decorated and very... More

The Riad Karmela is a fantastic hotel, full of character. We stayed as a group of young 6 girls and loved our time there (End of March 2013). We sorted transfers with the hotel before we left England, and we had Kamal pick us up. This is recommended as taxi's can't get to the hotel as it is located within... More

Riad Karmela is a real gem. The place is calm and tranquil in the midst of the craziness that is Marrakesh. You have to walk down a maze of allies to find the place which just adds to it's character.
