We had a great stay at Riad Karmela and we were impressed how warm and helpful the staff are. Mohamed and Amine were especially helpful to us with arranging transportation and making sure we get to our destinations on time and safely. The breakfast was amazing and there were lots of options with fresh fruits and vegetables. Our room was spacious and clean. We highly recommend this hotel and good location in the medina.

We stayed in this pretty Petit Riad for two nights with our daughter and her friends. The Petit Riad is a separate 3 bedroom house with ensuite bathrooms and lots of sitting areas to gather, talk and play cards. The rooms are large, air-conditioned, clean, nicely decorated with comfortable beds and nice linens. A great breakfast is served on the rooftop of the adjacent Riad Karmela Princesse...loads of fresh fruit, breads, olives, meats and cheeses. We also enjoyed a lovely dinner on the rooftop of Riad Karmela one evening. The staff are friendly and helpful. We loved our stay in the Petit Riad; it was a perfect oasis from the bustle of the medina.

Liked: Staff & service
Breakfast was great and so was the staff. But the place bears signs of decay, it needs an renovation. It looks more beautiful at the pictures than in real life especially the roof top was a bit disappointing - not enough sun beds and the jacuzzi was closed. The small pool in the courtyard was mostly for decoration. Carpets in the courtyard could use a cleaning. The riad has a great location and the staff is very helpfull and polite.
