Everything was exceptional! Staff were amazing and for celiacs, they have a full gluten free breakfast with Schaefer products (bread, crackers, digestives, rice cakes!).
You can’t miss with this excellent Riad!
Excellent customer service and lovely family friendly rooms! We stayed as a family or five and had enough space in the family room to move around. The only downside was the poor ventilation in the rooms however I appreciate that this is a very old building. Regardless, this day exceeded my expectations and I will definitely stay again.
Riad Karmela was an excellent choice for our Marrakech stay. Right in the centre of the medina so an easy walk to all the main souks and sights. Our room was clean, breakfast was tasty and all the staff were super helpful - would stay here again if we are ever back in Marrakech.
A peaceful oasis in the middle of the chaos that is Marrakesh. Cannot praise the staff enough, always polite and helpful, couldn’t do enough to ensure a good stay.
Excellent staff and service. We reached around midnight after a long drive through a storm. After check in, staff offered refreshing tea and dinner and did not charge us. The staff provided fresh fruits, dates and nuts and several water bottles daily. Breakfast was good but same every day.
Everything was fantastic. The customer service was wonderful, friendly and very helpful. Location was spot on, in the heart of the souk. Highly recommended.
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Riad Karmela. The staff, including Fatima Ezzarha, both our drivers, everyone working at breakfast and generally around the hotel were so kind and hospitable. They went out of their way to make sure we had a comfortable stay and support with delayed baggage and our very curious young son. Fatima Ezzarha, who had her hands full multi-tasking the entire time we were there, was so calm and helpful - she made us feel like we were the only and most important guests in the hotel. We've stayed at many riads in Marrakech and the breakfast is stunning and absolutely unrivaled. We will definitely be back!
Staff were very kind and settling after the craziness of the markets. Room was comfortable and clean. Dinner was a little over-priced but quite good. We had an early morning departure and they did their best to make sure we had some breakfast before we left.
What a fabulous Riad. From the moment you walk in you are greeted like family. You are served tea and pastries in the courtyard for the check in while your bags are taken to your room. We had the suite w/ terrace overlooking the courtyard which is a beautiful room. The entire staff are always available to help you and usually anticipate what you need before you ask. Great breakfast included every morning. Dinners in the restaurant are excellent with huge servings. Just can’t say enough about how special this Riad is. Want to say thank you to all the staff but a special thank you to Mohammed and Hakin who took care of us morning to night. They made my granddaughters birthday one she will never forget. Can’t wait to return. James Kluth
Exceptional customer service , we got an exotic bedroom with our own terrace to enjoy sunrise and sunset. Excellent breakfast and Hammam!

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Cleanliness
The staff were very hospitable and welcoming. The location was very convenient - walkable to most hot spots. Could’ve done with cleaner rooms, especially the bathroom inc towels, otherwise all good.
