Beautiful Riad, an oasis in manic Marrakech

We had a lovely stay at Riad Karmela. It is a beautiful Riad hidden away in the medina. The downstairs courtyards and roof terrace are excellent and so quiet compared to the street level chaos. The location was ideal for exploring the centre of Marrakech, with all key sites in walking distance. The breakfast was good, with plenty of choice and we had 2 evening meals, which were excellent. We used the hammam, which is small but good, the massage was very good. We booked the airport transport and we were glad we did, as we're not sure we would have found the Riad without doing so.

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.
