I have just come home from a stay at this place, and in short: I'd go back in a jiffy at any opportunity! The Riad consists of a few courtyards, rooms (some have private rooftop balconys), the guest rooms, a hammam and massage room (tried and would recommend it, especially if you've never tried one before and unsure of the...

I went to Marrakech (first time in Morocco) with a group of girlfriends for my sister's 40th birthday. We were picked up at the airport by the friendly Kamal and brought back to our Riad. We were briefed by the owner on the do's and don'ts in Marrakech (which was very helpful and appreciated) and shown to our stunning rooms.... More

I travelled with 8 of my friends for a long weekend in Marrakech to celebrate a joint 30th birthday. Firstly, i would recommend booking a transfer through the riad to pick you up at the airport. If you don't know the Medina very well then you will never find this place on your own. We stayed in the El Nour... More

We bent down to creep under the discrete little entrance into a magic world away from the hustle-bustle of the narrow old streets of the medina just outside.  This "riad" - a historical townhouse surrounding a charming courtyard - is the best you could find. Authentically and tastefully renovated and decorated by Moroccan craftsmen. The French owners and Moroccan staff... More

This is a calm haven in the centre of the maze that makes up the centre of Marrakesh. The owners and staff are delightful and couldn't be more helpful. If you eat at the Riad the food and wine are good. The rooms are comfortable and well decorated overlooking the central courtyards. There is also a roof terrace with comfortable... More

We have just arrived home after a mad few days in Marrakech and loved it. We loved it even more because we had this fantastic riad to spend time in....calm and beautiful setting away from the madness of the soukes. The welcome was the best we could have hoped for...refreshments and lots of helpful information. All the staff were very... More

I spent 4 days with a group of 11 girlfriends at Riad Karmela in November 2011. We were actually in Petit Karmela which is adjacent to the main Riad. All I can say is, look no further for an affordable & beautiful Riad in Marrakesh. This is truly a wonderful establishment and because of Joel, Bouchra & Kamel's kindness (&... More

Malcolm and Frances, London After navigating a maze of alleys in the heart of the Medina, you enter a beautiful Riad, with fine architecture, orange trees and a variety of sitting areas each very quiet and relaxed. The bedroom is fine, breakfasts are excellent, the staff very helpful and the mint tea and biscuits on arrival very much appreciated. We... More
