Lovely riad in the centre of the old city. Easy to find and a little bit out of the busiest bits of the medina, so makes a calmer place to return to after a day in Marrakech

Lovely staff

Lovely staff but was kept awake on last night by noisy furniture removals at 1am, no idea what was going on. Also gas heat used to keep communal areas warm gave off terrible fumes Little ventilation which I think was a health hazard though they did turn it off when asked at midnight!

Tranquil perfection

My wife and I booked a superior room in Riad Karmela through hotels.com. There are a number of riads, all next to each other, under the same ownership and where guests can move freely between them all. We received an upgrade to stay in room Bahia in Riad Petit Karmela. It was very serene and calm on the ground floor overlooking a beautiful sitting area which was heated during the evening. It transpires that, if you book directly with the riad, you receive a room upgrade and a one way free transfer from the airport. We reserved and benefited from the transfer and were met at the airport. The riad was ideal. Lovely room and facilities (including room safe) good hot shower, comfortable bed and plenty of space. One litre of free bottled water daily. Breakfasts were more than ample and served as continental style and we had 2 evening meals (pre-reseved). Cocktails were superb and both beer and wine were available at table. Joel (owner) has a superb team of staff and we were looked after well by Muhammed, Amine, Said & Fatima and others whose names are in my dimming recollection. Highly recommended and would be our choice of accommodation again. Thankyou.

What an Amazing Riad with Amazing Staff. We stayed here for 7 nights and all the staff were very friendly, genuine and helpful. Airport transfers were arranged through Riad Karmela and we could not believe the effort of both of our drivers...on arrival he had waited over 2 hours for us! The second driver to the airport manouvered through almost impossible alleyways for us. Thank You to you both. The rooms were so spacious and clean. Breakfast was a delight each day and the staff were always attentive. The relaxation areas including the terrace were decorated to traditional standards, with beautiful furniture, paintings, photographs and Moroccan artefacts. The restaurant was almost full each night we stayed and highly recommended. The guitarist was also a pleasure to listen to on evenings. Thank You to all at Riad Karmela!

Short and sweet

We had one lovely night here as we arrived from a tour bus and left the following morning for our plane but it was a very comfortable night. The staff were really helpful and friendly and the location in the heart of the Medina is great. Wish we could have stayed longer.

A collection of 3 Riads hidden down an alley just seconds from the madness of the medina. Lots places to relax inside on the patios and different areas on the roof terraces. Friendly helpful staff, who speak English, French as well as Arabic. Arranged airport transfers with Riad, though they forgot to collect us on arrival, so we had to ask a local to ring the Riad for us (so either double, double check or take the phone number and use data roaming!). Could arrange your own transfers, but difficult to find first time in the dark on your own, even with google (and if you can get internet). Very good breakfast, and dinner (we ate there twice in the evening, delicious spring chicken with vermicelli). Take some Euros, Riad will change and take back any unused dirhams- until you can access a bank. It was our first time in Marrakech and we thoroughly enjoyed the different culture. The only downside? the horrendous queues at the airport, both in and out (we got there 3 hours before our flight back home to be safe),shame really as I would like to explore more of the country.
