We stayed only 1 night before leaving for desert tour. Its location is not convenient for tour pickup/dropoff for first timers. Dinner tasted good. Early breakfast and checkout just happened. They were not prepared for that.

property is pretty and clean. Room very spacious. Service is great. We stayed at Riad Karmela Princesa for the first two nights and booked Riad Karmela (sister property) for the third night. Staff was very generous with letting us stay in the two rooms at Karmela Princesa (these rooms are more expensive by quite a bit than the ones in Karmela) for free.

Location very confusing specially at night. Hotel was amazing

It felt great from the start! Warm welcoming with delicious mint and happy friendly Bouchra (manager) Very detailed oriented service, the staff is genuinely nice and welcoming. Rooms are confortable and very nicely decorated. Included breakfast on the terrace is such a super start of your day, the local women who attend to you are as sweet as the delicious food they serve (fruits, bread, yogurt,eggs, homemade jam and fresh squeezed OJ) Well organized activities available too Thumbs up for Karmela!

Staff was very knowledgeable about city and made a easy map for us to follow to main landmarks. Very relaxing at hotel after time in the city.

What a fantastic oasis of calm within the heart of Marrakech's vibrant culture. Excellent rooms, staff, food and spa!

We had a wonderful weekend at Riad Karmela. It's not the swankiest hotel imaginable but it's perfectly clean, well-furnished and in an excellent location, a 10 minute walk from the main square. The riad also featured an extremely friendly staff and a well appointed breakfast. I highly recommend it.

Hello We also organise Tours in Morocco and the drivers arrive at the riad level (1mn walk) when as for most local agencies, customers have to walk to a certain meeting point sometimes far away. We are in the Medina and it is true that taxi have limited access. We also prepare early breakfast when ordrered day before (same time as doing the check out day evening before departure so I do not know what happened in your case. I am sorry about that situation.
