Riad Karmela

Sarah Fazackerley

What a wonderful place. In the heart of the medina, but an oasis of calm among the chaos. Cool courtyards, sunny rooftop terraces, incredible friendly staff (special thanks to Omar, Hakim, Amine + all the others wonderful women & men whose names we didn’t get but truly made our visit). Breakfast was amazing (fresh berries, eggs made to order as you like, homemade pastries, great coffee). Nothing was too much trouble - from bringing ice for our afternoon drinks, to walking us out to a pickup point at 4.30am for an excursion. Highly recommend.

Wonderful traditional Moroccan Riad with great atmosphere. Comfortable room and bed. Good breakfast. Very attentive friendly staff. Possibly a little on autopilot friendliness. We enjoyed our 1 week stay very much.

My sister and I visited Marrakesh at the end of May/26 and we have had the best trip. All of the staff members in the riad are incredibly friendly and will help you in anyway they can. We had an issue with our airport pickup and the staff non-stop called the company to try and help us! The location of our riad was perfect, we were a 5 minute walk away from the souks, which meant that it wasn’t overwhelming as some roads are in the middle of them. During my stay I also got a scrub and massage both were fantastic! Our room was so cute, there was so much information available to us and we got new bottles of water everyday as well as a little treat such as cherries or local desserts. The bathroom was clean as was everything else in the room. The only advice I would have based off of our stay is to book the excursions through get your guide as the ones the hotel offer were significantly more expensive.

We loved our stay at Riad Karmela. The staff were incredibly kind and service-minded. There was a great vibe at breakfast, and the breakfast buffet was really delicious. The whole hotel is simply beautiful. The beds are soft—maybe a bit too soft for my preference. The room and bathroom are decorated in a lovely Moroccan style. I’m glad I chose one of the hotel’s package deals, including a trip to Essaouira with their driver, Simo. He was incredibly kind and told us a lot about politics and life in Morocco. Thank you for this experience

Beautiful Riad! Highly highly recommend! Incredible breakfast, peaceful, exceptional service and super friendly staff! We also love ZouZou the cat 😺 in addition, this Riad has spa services like Traditional Hammam, and massage, breakfast, lunch and dinner and tours you can book with them too. Many thanks to the chef and staff for an incredible breakfast and dinner. We also enjoyed the spa services which we give 5 stars. If you're looking for a great body scrub and massage, come here! Staff are working around the clock to make sure you experience is perfect and they truly care about each guest. If you complain about your stay here, you are flat-out sinning.
