"Riad Karmela – A place that truly looks after you I stayed at Riad Karmela during my time in Marrakech and couldn’t have chosen a better base. From arrival to departure, I felt genuinely cared for — not as a booking, but as a person. The staff are exceptional: warm, attentive, and quietly present without ever being intrusive. I travelled solo and felt safe, relaxed, and supported at all times. A special mention must go to Fatima, the manager. She is outstanding. She upgraded my room without me asking, regularly checked in on me, offered coffee with genuine kindness, and made sure every detail of my stay ran smoothly. Her professionalism and warmth set the tone for the entire riad. Airport transfers were seamless, and both the driver and the young staff member who assisted me were respectful, reliable, and caring. It says a lot about a place when every member of the team carries themselves with pride. The riad itself is beautiful, peaceful, and perfectly located. After the energy of the Medina, returning here felt like exhaling. Riad Karmela isn’t just somewhere you stay — it’s somewhere you’re looked after. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Marrakech, especially solo travellers. I will definitely return."

"Really nice. Staff super kind. Everything clean. Breakfast solid. Totally recommend it. "

"Everything was top notch except bathroom in the room. The sink didn’t have enough room to hold toiletries. The shower didn’t drain the water and it would puddle. The shower also needs shelves or something to hold shampoos and soap because keeping it on the floor is unhygienic. Also, there’s drop down floor to enter the bathroom and it was annoying and hazardous. Someone can easily fall and break bones. Other than that everything from hotel to food and service was top notch."

"Clean room, friendly staff. Breakfast was tasty. I booked the hammam/massage there and i really enjoyed it. The staff were very friendly and willing to help. The location was perfect, only 15 mins walk away from Jemaa El Fenaa. Overall i would book this riad again. "

"The breakfast menu was good. The evening staff was amazing. "

"This riad was incredible and perfectly located close to everything with easy access to taxis when you need to go farther out. The true standout is the staff. Every single person was 11 out of 10 friendly attentive and genuinely welcoming. As this was my first time in Morocco I was a bit apprehensive about leaving important items in the riad such as passports and cash. Nothing was ever touched and in fact we accidentally left cash out on the dresser and came back later to find it neatly stacked and untouched. We also left bags at the riad while on a Sahara desert tour and they were secured at no charge in a locked closet. Overall this was an incredible experience. If you are going to Marrakech this is easily one of the best places to stay in the city"

"The staff was always ready to help, the room, although not big, was spotless and full of beautiful details."

"Fantastic stay. Wasn't sure what to expect having read previous reviews but arrived late at night to a lovely welcome (desk staffed 24/7). We shared a twin room which was fairly basic but clean, cool and with quiet air conditioning it was all we needed. Shower room clean and water pressure great. We had no hot water at first but as soon as we raised this it got fixed. We asked for a hairdryer and had it for our stay. Front desk couldn't be more helpful. Full breakfast everyday with lovely waiting staff, especially Sophian, who would do anything for you. All staff very kind and helpful. Riad was close to amenities - great location - yet no sense of noise or hassle and bussle, lovely and peaceful. Highly recommend!"

"Riad Houdou is an excellent Riad to stay in if you want to experience the Medina first hand. The staff is excellent and the food is great. They are in walking distance to many of what you are looking to visit within the Medina (shopping, restaurants, etc...). The only knock is that everything is cash based, which they let you know up hand, but just make sure you plan accordingly. Even with this, I would still recommend staying here. Enjoy Marrakech (the Red City)."
