I stayed at the Riad at the beginning of May with my mother. We loved the riad, the decor is amazing and the main courtyard is stunning. The continental breakfast was great with a good choice of fruit and bread and delicious orange juice. We ate at the riad twice and both times were very happy, especially with the fish... More

We stayed here in this riad, which was a big mistake!!! The owner Joel was extremely rude and obnoxious. To cut a long story short, it is a total waste of money, the evening meal was not even worth the 25 euros, the rooms were not presented to good standards and they were shown in the photographs and the riad...

Hello I am very surprised to read your feed back as we have no guests with your name in our records for the last 3 month. I also have NOT had any argument, no conflict, no discussion with any guests so I find your comment suspicious. There is specific issues so I do not understand what happened. Best regards Joel More

Riad Karmela is just a perfect location from which you can explore the busy medina. It's an excellent place to relax after or between walks in the souks. You find a lot of lovely sitting areas in several courtyards and even two little tortoises. Our little daughter felt in love with them :-) The roof terrasse is a good place... More

The bad stuff... its a bit tricky to find, but then that's the Medina for you. The good stuff .... everything else. What great value for money. The riad is beautiful, the staff are friendly and always on hand, the food was good, the wine inexpensive and surprisingly good, the bedroom was charming and the roof terrace a perfect place... More

Riad Karmela was such a welcome break from the hussle and bussle outside! The staff are friendly, informative and the customer service was of a high standard. The riad is full of light, colour, lovely traditional features and some cute physical ones as well (resident tortoises and some small local birds). The room was perfectly adequate, the food was delicious... More

Decided to stay at Riad Karmela after reading all the positive reviews. Great location in the heart of the medina. Its a beautiful and exotic oasis. You will need to pre book your taxi with the hotel and expect a short walk to the hotel when you arrive as taxis do not fit in the narrow alleyways. The food was... More

I had booked this riad for my family (wife and sons 18 & 16) I had done the reseach (on trip advisor) and so knew much of what to expect. My family had little idea what to expect. Coming into the riad for the first time (down the narrow alleys and through the tiny front door) and entering into the... More

The Riad is 8 minutes from the square. It is 10 yards off of a major walkway. It is down an alley that you wouldn't be advised to walk down because it is clearly for locals only. And then there is a door in the wall. And then you walk into the most peaceful, relaxing space. It is stunning. The... More
