Now we have been the 4th time in the riad karmela - and we want to come back again - inshallah. Marrakech is a great city, morocco a marvellous country - and the riad karmela is the place to rest, to settle down, to relax after the run through the souks and elsewhere. The rooms are typically furnished, comfortable and... More

A very pleasant riad, in a quieter part of the medina - and this is a good thing. Don't worry about getting lost - the vegetable market is close by, and a good landmark for finding your way back. The superior room was very nice - spacious, clean, and nicely decorated. We had a lovely dinner at the riad on... More

Lovely stay at this Riad, thanks to Joel and the charming staff: They were all really helpful before, during and after our stay. We spent three nights there, they also recommended us places to eat, visit or stay in other cities. Dinner was delicious, with a good choice of Moroccan wines. Breakfast is fine, be sure to be there on... More

Despite initally being a little concerned on the approach to this Riad - it actually turned out to be ideally placed. The medina is a strange place and takes some getting used to with all its little twists and turns and narrow dusty alleyways, but this Riad was really beautiful. Walking distance to everything in the Medina, but out of... More

It has all been said before! The location, 50 meters from the Souk, is so convenient but make sure you arrrange a taxi collection from the airport. The ambience is delightful, it has local character and most was most relaxing; lovely courtyards and roof seating. The staff were 5star charming. We had 2 meals both very good but not cheap.... More

The riad was excellent and a beautiful oasis from the chaos of the medina. There were lots of places to chill out and the ambience was relaxed, quiet and very Moroccan. Food was fine and the hammam/massage was superb. Getting an airport transfer is essential if you want to have any chance of finding the riad. Joel and staff were... More

We had a wonderful four night stay in Riad Karmela last week. The staff were friendly, funny and helpful with a perfect balance of formal hospitality and informal friendly banter. The hotel is beautifully decorated throughout and around every turn is a new place to sit, another sun terrace or a private corner. Breakfast was carried up to the roof... More

The welcome on arrival at Riad Karmela must rate as one of the best we've received at any hotel, irrespective of rating. Genuinely informative about the Raid and how to get about Marrakech and where to go and what to see. The Riad has a charming and relaxing atmosphere providing an opportunity to relax, sun bathe or just enjoy a... More

Riad Karmela is not easy to find - but locals and the Riad will help you get to it. Once there, you'll find the perfect oasis for your stay in Marrakech. In the heart of the Medina, 2mins to the Souks, wonderfully restorated and with superbe quality and management. A palace first, an oasis second, and then, eventually, you realise... More
