beautiful riad with very friendly staff. was a little difficult to find and breakfast could be a little improved (no eggs or hot food) but we had a very peaceful stay after a long day out in marrakech. the rooms and bathrooms were very nicely decorated and the riad was very clean. loved morrocco and the riad, would definately recommend... more

After a tiring train trip from Tanger to Marrakech the taxi driver showed us a dimily lit alley where the large oak door of Ria Karmela stood out from the dirt in the road. Our knock was answered quickley by Joel the owner who greeted us and led us into a beautiful lanscaped and furnished riad. His first action was... more

trHighly recommended; Friendly, quet, clean, authentic, daily menu on request, good rooms of which some nicely decorated. Roof terraces with berber tents, jaccuzi to chill and relaxing sunbeds if you want to take a good rest on the very quiet roof terrace where you also use breakfast Take a body scrub in the Riad's hamman and 1 hour relax massage.... more

Our first trip to Marrakech was a truly memorable one. Although we stayed in Riad El Nour we had full use of the facilities in Riad Karmala and it felt no more than an annex to the main building. Both Joel and beautiful Nadia were more than helpful when we needed information of any kind. They kept a professional distance... more

I spent hours researching riads on tripadvisor, must have looked at 100´s. If you are doing the same, STOP...and book here, it looked perfect on the pics and all the reviews on here were superb but it is undescribably perfect and no pics or words can describe. This was a trip for my mothers 70th birthday and also my first... more

We booked at Riad Karmela for the last 3 days of our holiday. May be a bit hard to find (like everything else in all the narrow streets of Medina) so make sure you follow the directions they give you. It's only 5/10mins walk from the main square. As soon as we got there we were greeted by Joel, given... more

This is a true gem! I had been in Marrakech just the previous month and stayed in a hotel in the Hivernage area. Although it was supposed to be a top notch resort it certainly didn't compare with the elegance, cozyness and charme of this riad. The owner, Mr Joel, and the staff, Nadia, Aziz and all the others were... more

this is one of the nicest and friendliest hotels ive stayed in. The staff make you feel very relaxed and at home. The rooms are a good size with air conditioning, and are well decorated along with the rest of the Riad, there is a 2nd Riad belonging to Karmela with a pool - this is very beautiful and quiet,... more

Convenient location, about a 10-minute walk from the main square. Definitely arrange to be picked up by the hotel taxi, the place would be hard to find on your own. The taxi parks several blocks from the hotel, and then the taxi driver walks you the rest of the way, which was not a problem, only made arrival more interesting...... more
