Riad Karmela Princesse

Our stay at Riad Karmela Princesse was absolutely perfect and completely made our holiday in Marrakech! We stayed as a group of 4 female friends and booked a family suite. I messaged the Riad in advance asking for 4 separate beds in our room, which we got. The suite was decorated beautifully, just like the rest of the Riad. Our beds were comfortable, we all slept really well except for a slight disturbance from the local cockerel in the morning, but I actually quite liked it. The information email we received from the Riad at the time of booking was really helpful, we used them for transfers from and back to the airport, there's no way we would have found our way to the Riad without their transfer and the staff meeting us and walking with us. Riad Karmela and Karmela Princesse are absolutely stunning. Our room was in Karmela Princesse but we often went across to Riad Karmela for drinks. We ate there on the first night and it was one of our best meals of our stay. Breakfast was fab too. We loved the rooftops at both Riads, so beautiful and peaceful sat up there in the sun with a glass of wine. We felt very comfortable and safe. The Riad is perfectly located close to the main square and souks. It was so busy out on the little streets, you can hardly believe how close to everything you are once you're in the Riad. It really is an oasis amongst the hustle and bustle. I recommend restaurant La Slimana close to the Riad. We had a fantastic meal there and they serve alcohol. Definitely recommend booking for any meals out in Marrakech. I booked 1 week in advance and many restaurants were already full. We really enjoyed lunch at Nomad too. Finally, I have to say the staff at Riad Karmela and Karmela Princesse were so, so lovely, they honestly cannot do enough for you. We were so well looked after. Thank you to Mohamed, Hakim, Majid and all the staff at both Riads they really did make our stay so special. If you're going to Marrakech, this is the perfect place to stay!

What a wonderful place! Our taxi dropped us off in the nearest square and a lad from the Riad met us and led us and our cases down a narrow alley, then turned into a narrower alley, (all in the mayhem of people and motor bikes that is Marrakesh) stopped beside the Riad door and then- you enter this lovely building. It was an oasis of calm and the food and the staff were wonderful. The interior is lavishly decorated in Morrocan style and it was a restful peaceful place.

Beautiful place to stay. Inconspicuous from the outside, beautifully furnished inside. Comfortable rooms, tea set, fresh fruit in the room every day, delicious breakfasts. Very helpful and friendly staff, nothing is impossible for them, you have everything you ask for. The Riad made our trip to Marrakesh unforgettable.
