We visited here in Dec '25 and it was just the most lovely stay. We were actually in the Ria PETIT Karmela and it is literally just across the way from the main Karmela where you have breakfast. These riads are along a small private alleyway that has its own security guard at night time.
The stay itself was lovely, we had a gorgeous room and the riad is so well kept. The staff were SO LOVELY and made us feel so at home. The buffet breakfast was plentiful and there was an omelette and crepe/pancake station where you could get this made fresh for you.
On arrival our driver called the riad ahead of us getting there to order in a meal for us since it was quite late and we didn't want to go out and about. We had the most delicious fish tagine here. The mint tea and biscuits on arrival was also a nice touch.
Location is also great. Few minutes walk and you hit the souks.
All in all, I wouldn't hesitate to book Riad karmela again if we were to return to marrakech.

My sister and I visited Marrakesh at the end of May/26 and we have had the best trip. All of the staff members in the riad are incredibly friendly and will help you in anyway they can. We had an issue with our airport pickup and the staff non-stop called the company to try and help us!
The location of our riad was perfect, we were a 5 minute walk away from the souks, which meant that it wasn’t overwhelming as some roads are in the middle of them.
During my stay I also got a scrub and massage both were fantastic!
Our room was so cute, there was so much information available to us and we got new bottles of water everyday as well as a little treat such as cherries or local desserts. The bathroom was clean as was everything else in the room.
The only advice I would have based off of our stay is to book the excursions through get your guide as the ones the hotel offer were significantly more expensive.

We stayed here three nights during our visit to Morocco. All the staff is very kind, though our favorite one was, of course, Zuzu the cat!
Mohammed was super helpful and solved all the little issues we had during our stay in the country, just like all the other reception workers.
The location is awesome, right in the heart of the Medina, less than 5 minutes walking from the main souks. The riad itshelf was gorgeous.

We stayed in one of their sister properties, Zineb or Petit Karmela. The room was very comfortable and located in the heart of medina.
The property itself was very serene and peaceful. We enjoyed walking around and sitting outside. Our stay was particularly improved by very thoughtful Aziz who went above and beyond for the smallest of asks.

This place was lovely once you entered the buildings, with multiple interior patios with gurgling pools and comfortable furniture. The whole atmosphere invited us to relax and feel welcome. The staff was soooo nice, completely committed to the guests’ satisfaction. The breakfast and other meals were excellent, served at their rooftop terrace.
The only drawback was its location: it was difficult to find even for the gps- however, the riad staff was more than willing to pick us up from the place where the taxi dropped us off. Once we got fully oriented to the area we were able to get to the souks and many of the tourist attractions.
