I was just here at the end of November and this place is absolutely magical. The courtard of the riad is truly lovely and the staff are very thoughtful. When we first arrived we were upgraded (at no extra cost) to a larger room because (I believe it was Phillipe) thought we'd have more privacy there. The details make the... more

Riad Karmela made our two short nights/1 day in Marrakech exceptionally easy. After a delayed flight, we were picked up from Menara airport by a very upbeat driver who took us through the maze of streets in the medina to a great dinner at the riad. The place was just as it is on the website, an oasis of space... more

Just got back from 5 days at Riad Karmela. Everything including the weather was great. Thanks to Phillippe, Nadia and all the staff for making our stay so perfect. Great food - great decor - great location - great atmosphere, i'll be back. Thanks again.x more

We stayed in Riad Karmela for 4 nights in a splendid junior suite on the first flor with a lovely sunny balcony overlooking the courtyard and orange trees The suite was decorated in the most stunning colours, yellow and red with beutifull ornaments and vases to enhance the effect. On our first evening we enjoyed an excellent Morocan 3 course... more

Riad Karmela is an oasis in the middle of the medina. It´s a nice place to rest in between trawling the souks or looking at Marrakechs wild traffic (mostly small motorcycles...) We stayed for 5 days in the suite Kaiss. A beautiful room nicely decorated, and with a good-sized bathroom. We also had our own balcony, looking down at the... more

Just returned from a girls weekend where we stayed at Riad Karmela. Can thoroughly recommend it - staff amazingly helpful, great location - 5 mins walk to the spice market, 10 mins to main square. The Riad provided alot of help re:taxi fares and pitfalls to watch out for as well as recommending some great restaurants. Able to drink alcohol... more

As others have mentioned, this riad is beautiful, and Nadia is very helpful and welcoming. However, I was unimpressed with other aspects of the service: -My family members were coming to the riad after me, and they got lost. Then my mobile phone ran out of minutes, and yet Philippe refused to let me use the front desk's phone. Given... more

Just back from a week at the Riad Karmela in Marrakech. Despite 2 days of torrential rain, we had a great time. Booked the Haroum suite for myself, wife and 2 kids - direct via email with Nadia at the riad. Taxi waiting at airport, lovely meal on first night. The suite was great with 2 bedrooms (aircon & heating),... more

Words cannot express how much we loved this Riad and it's sister property (just down the lane), Riad el Nour. Nadia and staff were wonderfully helpful and attentive. The food in the riad was great (although we only opted to have it once, the evening we arrived), and we enjoyed wine every evening in the riad's common areas (rooftop, etc).... more
