We had a wonderful 10 days at the Riad Karmela. We stayed in the Abdou suite, with rooftop terrace. The suite was clean and spacious, with excellent air conditioning. The bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was a bit old, but worked perfectly and was clean. We loved our suite! Even without the private terrace, there were lots of spots around property to lounge in the sun or shade.
The property itself is beautiful, and the amenities are generally good. There is a pool available to guests at the riad next door (same owners), but we didn't use it. The internet was very good, and the property was clean. We ate breakfast daily, and it was fantastic - croissants, toast, sweets, pancakes, and an omelette station - all included in the price. My only suggestion is that the coffee machines remain available all day - if you missed breakfast (8-10am), you missed coffee since they put the machines away and there is no coffee in the room. Coffee machines in the room might help as well. One other warning is that there are lots of stairs in this complex, without an elevator. So you should be able to climb stairs to stay here.
Finally the location - brilliant! It's in the heart of the medina, and very safe even at night. Just don't be deterred by random people saying "the road ahead is closed". Stay the course - they are leading you elsewhere.
Shout out to the most helpful staff - Ibrahim and Omar - but all staff were so helpful! You were wonderful! Thank you also to the owners!

Amazing, romantic experience in the heart of the medina.
We had a wonderful 10 days at the Riad Karmela. Upon arrival, we were helped with our bags from Lycee Mohammed V square, which was very helpful. Then on check-in, the property was clearly explained to us, including all amenities, and they helped us to the room.
We stayed in the Abdou suite, with rooftop terrace. The suite was clean and spacious, with excellent air conditioning. The bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was a bit old, but worked perfectly and was clean. We loved our suite! Even without the private terrace, there were lots of spots around property to lounge in the sun or shade.

Stay the course - they are leading you elsewhere (we didn't want to know why). This happened late at night. Another caveat - no alcohol here. They don't yet have a liquor license, which can take some time to get. You can buy wine in the new city, but you must drink it privately, in your room.

We stayed in this pretty Petit Riad for two nights with our daughter and her friends. The Petit Riad is a separate 3 bedroom house with ensuite bathrooms and lots of sitting areas to gather, talk and play cards. The rooms are large, air-conditioned, clean, nicely decorated with comfortable beds and nice linens.
A great breakfast is served on the rooftop of the adjacent Riad Karmela Princesse...loads of fresh fruit, breads, olives, meats and cheeses.
We also enjoyed a lovely dinner on the rooftop of Riad Karmela one evening.
The staff are friendly and helpful.

A gem! Don't miss this one.
When we booked a bed and breakfast in the middle of the Medina, we were not sure what to expect. This place was absolutely wonderful. Very clean and every room had its own personality. And the food.. the breakfast was phenomenal and so are the evening meals. I've got to do a shout out to our guy Iman who took such good care of us.
The wonderful part is that we were immersed in their culture and we were able to experience what the old towns really were.

Wonderful place, wonderful staff!
So very lovely! We had the most beautiful room. The roof top terrace is gorgeous! Lots of hidden beauty. Each staff member was very helpful. Special thank you to Omar for all the fun with our five year old. And also big thank you to Hannan and Khaula (sorry, spelling!) in the Hamman, that was amazing. I strongly recommend. Fatima and everyone on reception desk were so kind and responsive from first phone call to goodbye.
