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!

The front desk was very helpful, Mohamed was very patient with us. He took the time explaining the maps going to Jemma el Fnna, but we still got lost twice. He also checked on us when we were walking to the square. At 1am we were going back to the Riad, we couldn’t find our place, I used goggle maps, there was no connection. It was very dark and scary, we called the hotel but could not connect. I would not want to stay there next time because of the difficulties finding the Riad. There’s should be more lights and signs visible for the location.

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

We spent 4 nights at Riad Karmela Princesse in early April. The staff at both Karmela Princesse and Riad Karmela opposite could not have been more helpful, friendly or kind. The Riad was an oasis of calm in the middle of the Medina. We had booked a suite for us and our two teenage children and had great rooms next to each other. The kids had a wonderful time with a great mix of activities as well as time on the terrace in the sun and in the pool. The Riad also had wifi everywhere which was super useful. Everyone was keen to ensure we had a wonderful trip and offered many suggestions for day trips and outings. We booked a day trip Ourika Valley, an evening trip with camel rides in the Desert D'Agafay as well as Jardin Majorelle during the day and the trips and transport were ideal. All of the drivers were friendly and informative and the map that the Riad provided on day one was brilliant and easy to follow through the Medina. As it was Ramadan while we were there we ate most of our evening meals in the Riad (due to timings) where they offered a choice of two set menus that changed each day. Every meal was fantastic and there was plenty of it. The breakfasts were also delicious and offered plenty of variety. Would highly recommend Riad Karmela Princesse
