My first impression of this place was disappointment as, having reconfirmed our airport transfers a few days prior to our arrival, we were left hanging around in the Arrivals Hall waiting for an hour. Eventually after a couple of phone calls, it became clear to us that the hotel forgot we were coming and ended up sending a taxi to... More

Thank you for your feed back. I imagine that overall your have had a good stay despite, as mentionned, the little issues on arrival. I must recognise that we did forget the transfer as we found the request on previous correspondance but it was not recorded so sorry again for the delay at the airport. We do have several room...

This was my second time at Karmela following a holiday in 2011. I was very excited to come back and experience the Riad once more, this time with my partner, as I had a fantastic time and agree full with the below reviewers in terms of the atmosphere, design and friendliness. It really is a jewel especially given the immediate... More

We have just returned form a 4 night stay at Riad Karmela in Marrakesh. I cannot praise highly enough the welcome given by all the staff and the high standard of accomodation. A top tip is to arrange transport from the airport to the Riad, we used A2B who were very efficient. Once we had arrived it was a pleasant... More

We stayed at Riad Karmela for four days in May. The welcome was faultless and the large tastefully decorated rooms and amenities excellent. The riad is an oasis of calm, well located for access to the main medina (7 mins) and to the museum. Dinner on our second night was delicious served in the lovely courtyard surroundings. Breakfast on the... More

I wanted to organise a group trip for 21 colleagues so I was looking for a riad big enough to host us. We stayed at Riad Karmela for 4 days. Everything was perfect, from the kindness and helpfulness of the staff to the beautiful rooms and secret corners throughout the huge and beautiful building. It´s very close to Jemaa el... More

My stay at Riad Karmela was absolutely wonderful, what a serene and beautiful haven away from the bustling city outside! The location was perfect, less than 10min to walk to Djemaa el-Fna and hardly any walk at all into the souqs – you really felt as if you were right in the middle of it all! During our check in...

We stayed at Riad Karmela for our first time in Marrakesh and it was a really nice choise. The Riad is 5-8 min away from the mainly square (the center of Marrakesh). The Riad has 12 rooms and 3 different part with their own main "living room". The terrace on the top is amazing, breakfast and dinner are served there.... More

Everyone says that Riad Karmela is a calm haven hidden in the chaotic Marrakech medina...but it is true! The old city is amazing but exhausting as you dodge speeding motor bikes and haggle with enthusiastic souk ( market) vendors. This Riad is beautiful with many communal spaces to relax in including a gorgeous roof terrace. We would sometimes order a... More

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.
