Riad Karmela - Marrakech

Our stay in this riad was brilliant from beginning to end. The taxi (booked in the UK through Expedia) could not get within 400m of the Riad as it is situate in the heart of the Medina. The owner organises for a young man to meet the taxi and then guide us and carry our luggage to the riad. We arrived at 8.30pm and were greeted with mint tea and we […] decided to accept the set meal which was on offer and was very welcome. The approach to the riad must be off putting to timid guests but we loved the contrast of the tranquility of the riad with the hustle and bustle of the surrounding passageways and the souk. Some of the decor and fittings in the bathroom were a little tired but it certainly didn't detract from the holiday particularly as the stay was competitively priced. Breakfast was buffet style with fresh orange juice, fresh fruit, pancakes, cereal, cold omelette, breads, jams and my favourites, fresh doughnuts. The owners were really helpful and the staff attentive. When our final invoice are arrived we discovered that our regular mint teas were complimentary. The attitude of the staff and owners was in complete contrast to the majority of the street traders who can make the customers feel uncomfortable. Lisateave

An Oasis of calm in the heart of the Old Town of Medina within Marrackech. A variety of rooms and suites situated around courtyards, benefitting from natural light but also sheltered from the heat of the sun. Joel leads an excellent team of staff who do all they can to make your stay memorable. Breakfast to suit Continental Europeans and Brits alike. The […] roof terraces offer the opportunity to sunbathe even in the winter. Top tip is to accept the offer of an airport transfer, Medina/ Marrakech is a rabbit warren of lanes and alleyways and taxis/ cars cannot access the last 75 metres to the Riad. I would recommend to friends and stay there again. Lisateave

Good quiet location, beautiful setting, very traditional. Tortoises very cute! Only downside would be the restaurant they recommended we try - it wasn't great. Staff helpful though, and we would definitely stay there again if we return to Marrakech

Made reservation here with my wife and kids and father in law. Both wife and Father in law are Moroccan. Was a sketchy part of town and both were afraid for us to stay there with kids given we seemed to need a security escort in and out. I asked for a refund for my 5 days and was given half back. To add insult to injury the "security" guys who walked […] us back to our car wanted tips for doing so despite our having paid the hotel hundreds of euro for not staying there. There are other nice riyads in better parts of town. Lisateave

Terrible hotel expensive, glad we only booked 3 nights. Very stressful and not enjoyable!The manager was very rude and dismissive when we had an issue with one of the guides and when we complained about the overall quality of the room. He screamed at my friend, a young lady, something we have never experianced after travelling to many world wide desinations. […] The room itself wasn't very clean, there was alot of dust and the previous guest's rubbish still left in the room. After notifying the staff a couple of times about the cold shower nothing was done and we were never updated just ignored. The registration process was not very useful or in depth enough, the person who did this was not very warm or friendly, this was the case with most of the staff there who spoke about us and other guests behind their backs and were constanly laughing or making fun of us because they thought we did not understand the language. Not professional at all! For the price we paid, this was very expensive for a bad experience. The staff and manager did not introduce themselves to us and the whole time we were there we feeling like an inconvienance and were given little attention. The riad itself although nicely furnished inside, was not in a safe area, lots of beggars and traffic ouside, busy street with mopeds whizzing around. However the riad didn't feel that much calmer or safer inside! Food also very basic and dinner extremely expensive for what it was. Lisateave

Delightful riad that is conveniently located near the medina. It's a peaceful oasis with beautifully presented communal areas and rooms. Nice roof terrace. Great staff who are very helpful. Meals are tagines and quite good. Only criticism is there is no designated smoking area and there seemed a surprising number of guests who smoked where others were […] eating. Lisateave

The Karmela is in a great central position 5 mins walk from the souks and 10 mins to the Djeema el Fna (main square). It totally lived up to the reviews on expedia which made us choose it. A welcoming oasis in the hub of the medina. Our room was spacious, comfortable and very clean. Good breakfast with lots of choice taken in the courtyard amongst the […] orange trees, tortoises and sparrows. Joel and his team made us feel very welcome and were a great source of local knowledge. The riad was well maintained with lovely interior decor and the view of the snow-capped Atlas mountains from the roof terrace made it a very memorable stay. Lisateave

Riad karmela is a perfect oasis in the heart of the medina. Situated just a 2 minute walk from the souks and 7 mins from Jamaa el Fna it is perfect for sightseeing. However at night make sure you plan your route as it can be easy to get lost if you don't stick to the main routes. All of the staff are very helpful and on arrival Joel gave us a map of […] the medina recommending the best routes to walk and the best restaurants to eat at. We also had a hammam at the riad which I would thorougly recommend - followed by a massage. If you want to spend a day out of the city the riad provide excursions and if enough guests arent interested in going then they will book you in through an agency to make it cheaper. This is what we did and we spent a fantastic day at the ourika valley. Marrakesh is a crazy and overwhelming place that has to be seen to be believed but at the end of a dusty and tiring day bartering in the souks this riad is the perfect place to come back to.

This was our first Marrakech trip and we chose well with Riad Karmela. It was an oasis of calm and tranquility from the madness of the medina. You will not find this place without help - take the taxi that the hotel offer from the airport, its stupid not to, and then Joel and the staff will tutor you in getting out and about. Unfortunately we both had […] chest infections during our stay and this limited our enjoyment of the trip overall, but the Riad was a lovely place to stay. The roof terrace was beautiful even in slightly chilly December. Lisateave

I spent a long weekend at Riad Karmela with my daughter. We had the most relaxing time and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Compared to most, this is a very large riad. It's design is nice and the rooms are impressive. The hotel staff are helpful and speak English however the map of Marrakech they provide is pretty poor so you are better of getting a good one elsewhere. And believe me you will need a map for this city. The breakfast was good enough to fill your stomach […] but was too continental. I have had Moroccon breakfasts elsewhere which are more filling. Request a room that is not on the bottom floor as these get noisy from chatter inside the hotel. Based on it's cleanliness, safety and decent pricing I would recommend Karmela. Lisateave

It was perfect from the time check in formalities were completed over a cup of tea and some pastries in the beautiful under cover courtyard. The suite was great with the children having their own "room" and a separate lounge area. The location is quiet yet only minutes from the souks. Would highly recommend it.

Riad Karmela was really beautiful, and a great place for socialising with other guests. The roof terraces are lovely, though in August, it was far too hot even early in the morning to spend much time up there. Downstairs, guests gathered around the plunge pool to cool their feet. Our room (one adult, two teenage children) was good, and the air conditioning […] was effective -- this was really important at that time of year. Joel, the owner, was very helpful and friendly, while being quite formal, as were the rest of the staff. We had a lovely, relaxing massage and enjoyed being able to walk out of the door and experience the medina. The Djema el Fna was not too far away. The dinner in the evenings was extremely good, though at 20 euros, more than I was expecting to pay in Morocco. We soon learned that good meals out are just as expensive in Morocco as in the UK -- for tourists, at least! The breakfasts were not great -- very little choice, and sometimes bread took a while to arrive. It was also too hot on the roof to enjoy breakfast in August. It would have been good to be able to eat downstairs instead. But that is a small point. We had a great stay and would recommend. Lisateave

Dette hotel ligger kun kort vej fra pladsen Djemaa el Fna, men det er ikke til at høre når man først lukker døren efter sig! Stedet er utroligt afslappende at være på, service er i top, maden er god og har man behov for det, kan man ovenikøbet booke massage på stedet.

Vi änlände en kväll i november, det regnade, gränderna var leriga och fyllda med folk, mopeder, åsnor mm. Efter att ha blivit guidande av en man på gatan (behövdes inte då det satt skyltar lite här och där) så kom vi in i smalare och smalare gränder för att till sist kliva in genom en mkt låg järndörr.

Vi fick te och en genomgång av hur det fungerar och hur man hittar "innanför murarna" i Mesinan. Tio minuters promenad till Djemaa el Fna, fem minuter till souken. Jättebra läge! Frukosten var också helt perfekt. Vi kan varmt rekommendera denna Riad. Mycket spännande och annorlunda väntar utanför järndörren. Lisateave

Wer "mittendrin" sein möchte und gleichzeitig Komfort und Service haben möchte, ist hier richtig. Das Riad liegt in den Souks, ist nur zu Fuß zu erreichen - man braucht schien ein bisschen Orietnierungssinn.
