I got in late and was greeted by the hotel staff at my taxi. I was upgraded to the Hassan suite and was very pleased with the accommodations and the hotel environment and staff. I enjoyed the personal guide Aziz who showed me a memorable experience. The rooftop breakfast was excellent. When I return I will be staying there. Thank You staff for your hospitality.

What an Amazing Riad with Amazing Staff. We stayed here for 7 nights and all the staff were very friendly, genuine and helpful. Airport transfers were arranged through Riad Karmela and we could not believe the effort of both of our drivers...on arrival he had waited over 2 hours for us! The second driver to the airport manouvered through almost impossible alleyways for us. Thank You to you both. The rooms were so spacious and clean. Breakfast was a delight each day and the staff were always attentive. The relaxation areas including the terrace were decorated to traditional standards, with beautiful furniture, paintings, photographs and Moroccan artefacts. The restaurant was almost full each night we stayed and highly recommended. The guitarist was also a pleasure to listen to on evenings. Thank You to all at Riad Karmela!
