Riad Karmela Princesse

Our stay at Riad Karmela Princesse was absolutely perfect and completely made our holiday in Marrakech! We stayed as a group of 4 female friends and booked a family suite. I messaged the Riad in advance asking for 4 separate beds in our room, which we got. The suite was decorated beautifully, just like the rest of the Riad. Our beds were comfortable, we all slept really well except for a slight disturbance from the local cockerel in the morning, but I actually quite liked it. The information email we received from the Riad at the time of booking was really helpful, we used them for transfers from and back to the airport, there's no way we would have found our way to the Riad without their transfer and the staff meeting us and walking with us. Riad Karmela and Karmela Princesse are absolutely stunning. Our room was in Karmela Princesse but we often went across to Riad Karmela for drinks. We ate there on the first night and it was one of our best meals of our stay. Breakfast was fab too. We loved the rooftops at both Riads, so beautiful and peaceful sat up there in the sun with a glass of wine. We felt very comfortable and safe. The Riad is perfectly located close to the main square and souks. It was so busy out on the little streets, you can hardly believe how close to everything you are once you're in the Riad. It really is an oasis amongst the hustle and bustle. I recommend restaurant La Slimana close to the Riad. We had a fantastic meal there and they serve alcohol. Definitely recommend booking for any meals out in Marrakech. I booked 1 week in advance and many restaurants were already full. We really enjoyed lunch at Nomad too. Finally, I have to say the staff at Riad Karmela and Karmela Princesse were so, so lovely, they honestly cannot do enough for you. We were so well looked after. Thank you to Mohamed, Hakim, Majid and all the staff at both Riads they really did make our stay so special. If you're going to Marrakech, this is the perfect place to stay!

I travelled to Marrakesh with another female friend and arrived late in the evening; the Riad is located in the old town and due to the narrow roads our driver could not drop us off in front of the Riad so we were met by a staff member on our arrival at the closest drop of point. During our stay the team has been extremely helpful and kind, always answering our questions and ensuring we had everything we needed/wanted. They always arranged someone to escort us to our drop off /pick up points when we had early morning(hot air balloon and sunrise) or late evening (sunset in Agafay dessert) experiences booked. The Riad is really beautiful with positive and calm atmosphere, one can relax and enjoy the rooftop and the various courtyards whilst taking a break from the busy streets of Marrakech. Overall we had a very pleasant stay and will de definitely stay again at Riad Karmela Princess when I'll return to Marrakesh again.
