We loved our stay at the Riad Karmela Princesse ! Our bedroom and bathroom were spacious, with access to a private rooftop deck seating area. The Riad Karmela Princesse is located adjacent to the Riad Karmela. The staff are shared between the two spaces and they are wonderful; friendly, and very helpful. The Princesse is decorated in a more colorful, elaborate style, while the Karmela has a more subdued, neutral vibe. Both are lovely. A delicious breakfast is served in the morning on the rooftop...fresh fruits, juices, breads, olives, cheeses and more. There is a little cold pool and lots of space for lounging on the roof to take a break from the souks and medina. We also enjoyed an excellent, quiet dinner on the rooftop of the Riad Karmela one night. We recommend this place for comfort and great hospitality.

Our stay in Riad Karmela was very memorable and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful all throughout the trip. We were guided by the staff all throughout to plan out our itinerary in the most effective and efficient manner. Amine guided us all through with a detailed marked map and also upgraded us to a bigger room the next day when we expressed our wish to have a bigger room. The location of this hotel was an icing on the cake. We did not need to use any transportation except on the last day for the YSL museum as every museum/garden/ shopping was within 20-25minutes. The breakfast was alright and unfortunately we couldn’t use the pool and jacuzzi as the water was too cold but we did enjoy the hamam and massage in the hotel. Overall was a memorable experience and would give 10 stars to the staff who were very friendly and helpful.

If I could give 6 stars I would. Mohamed, Amine, Aziz, and Fatima were excellent and saw to our every need. The Riad is beautiful and comfortable. I cannot recommend Riad Karmela Princesses enough.

10/10 Exceptional

Stayed for 4 nights and had a wonderful stay. The place is an oasis of tranquility in the busy medina. The room was beautiful and the bed was super comfy. Breakfast was lovely. We had a massage there and that was better than the massage we had at another place where we went for a hamman. But on top of that it’s the staff that get this place 5 stars. Welcoming, attentive, friendly and extremely helpful. They gave us recommendations, made phone calls for trips, organised taxis and tuktuks and changed money. Without them we’d have spent a lot more time searching the medina - which is also part of the point of going to Marrakech -but not if you want to be somewhere at a set time!

Title: Enchanting Stay at Riad Karmela Princesse, Morocco Review: My stay at Riad Karmela Princesse in Morocco was an unforgettable experience that genuinely encapsulated the essence of Moroccan hospitality and charm. From the moment I set foot inside the Riad, I was enveloped by an atmosphere of tranquility and elegance. The traditional Moroccan architecture and design resonated with an authentic and luxurious touch that was both captivating and comforting. The Riad Karmela Princesse team went above and beyond to ensure my comfort and satisfaction. The staff were exceptionally courteous, attentive and displayed a genuine passion for service that was truly heartwarming. Their dedication to guest satisfaction was evident in every interaction. The rooms were beautifully appointed, combining traditional Moroccan aesthetics with modern amenities for an optimal blend of comfort and style. The enchanting rooftop terrace was a delightful retreat, offering stunning views of the bustling Medina. The culinary offerings were another highlight of my stay. The breakfast was a feast of local delicacies, freshly prepared and served with a personal touch. I would highly recommend Riad Karmela Princesse to anyone visiting Morocco for an authentic, luxurious, and memorable stay. The charm of the Riad and the warmth of its team have left an indelible impression, making it my go-to choice for future visits. Rating: 4.5/5 stars

The only Riad I ever stayed at and I am glad we chose this one. There are 3 riads with shared ammentities. Little bit hard to get to (but that's all roads), however they offer hotel shuttle service and assistance with your bags from the drop off to the riad. The Riad itself it's beautiful. We stayed at the princess one and the rooms are cozy and clean. The room was AC'd as well. Breakfast and dinner were superb. Breakfast and fresh continental breakfast with a lot of varieties (8-10am) and the dinner has delicious Morracan food (with set menu). Everyone is super friendly. Even the cat ZiZi! Would definitely recommend.

Absolutely fabulous stay! Incredible location (yes, like every Riad, hard to find, so use their air transport). So accommodating and helpful. Steps from the souk and all your dinner options, yet quiet and delightful.
