Riad Carina  

We really enjoyed our stay at the Riad Carina. The staff was very nice, helpful, available, smiling and welcome us perfectly - with a mint tea the first day. We had 2 nights in a room and we were changing to another room for 2 other nights but they finally upgrade us in the suite that was available. The room are very nice and cosy. The staff was all the time available and provide us with good advices. There is as well a good level of services (possibility of excursion, of swimming pool and hamman in another parent riad). We attended the cooking class with Aziza and we really enjoyed this moment which was also a nice way to share the Morrocan cuisine culture. The breakfast was a real pleasure every morning served professionally with nice smiles and with each day different pastries. What we liked as well is the location: the Riad Carina is not in the center of the Medina (while being at 10 min walking distance - very close to palais de Bahia) which is a perfect location because it avoids walking at night in the Medina, being lost and being in the hustle of the Medina each time you go out. It is also very close from the Mellah (Jewish quarter) that we like a lot. And just 50 meters from it there a taxi station. We would recommend it or go again in the Riad without any doubt.

There is no specific "complaints" but we were slightly disappointed that the Terrasse was all cover and not available (no chair, or sleeping chair to enjoy the sun) whereas we were already end of March/Beg. of April - to enjoy a bit the sun and relax there after a long day walking in noisy and lively Marrakesh.

Couldn't recommend Riad Carina highly enough to all! We stayed at the Riad for 2 nights, and then at a hotel 5 miles outside of Marrakech for 3 nights, and the Riad was the far more impressive stay, it is a traditional experience of Marrakech life with modern luxury, and great personal touches from the staff. As an example we booked the cooking class at the Riad, and afterwards were told the drinks we had with our meal were free which was really nice of them. We had also booked a driver from the airport which was 20 euro- but then they gave us a driver for free to our next hotel. So overall felt really good value for money. And the Riad itself can only be described as an 'oasis of calm'! Coming from the busy old town into the lovely calm Riad is such a calming, relaxing experience. Overall the rooms were lovely, staff were very friendly and helpful, the location was perfect as only a 10 minute walk to Jemna al Fna square and all the souks. A must stay!

This hotel was an oasis of calm and tranquility which was surprising as it is so central to the hubbub of life in Marrakesh. The decor is beautiful - using traditional styles and materials but with a contemporary feel. There are lots of spaces within the hotel to relax with plants and wonderful scents to calm and relax guests. We loved sitting on the roof terrace watching the storks. The patio with the fountain and floating flowers was cool and calming. It is clean and well cared for. The staff were fantastic - catering to us and our teenage sons in a charming way - breakfast being delivered to the sun terrace at 11. 30! Mint tea was always on hand and beautiful music in the background. Breakfast was a feast and dinner cooked at the hotel was a real treat. The staff helped us to locate places we wanted to visit organising hammam and massage- sending guides with us at times and at no time put any pressure on us to take excursions or treatments. We will definitely recommend this to our friends and will stay again - soon!

Riad had an excellent location, about 15 mins walk from the main square. It was a haven of calm in a frantic city, The staff were friendly, helpful and eager to please, Rooms were clean and excellent value for a budget hotel. Nearby were 2 excellent restaurants - one possibly the best in Marrakesh- not cheap but worthwhile if you want to treat yourselves. I would recommend this Riad to couples or single travellers. It is not suitable for families or disbled travellers.

The riad was charming, beautifully decorated. The staff were extremely helpful and hospitable. If I found myself using the free wifi in the main guest area, they would surprise me with tea or watermelon. Also, when I was stranded in Marrakech, they went out of their way to help me. The location is good as it's close to some major landmarks and shopping. It's a direct route to the main square, reducing the possibility of getting lost.

Not a complaint: if you are an English-speaker traveling to Marrakech, you should expect communication to require more effort as the main languages are Arabic, Berber, French, and Spanish. Fortunately, at riad Carina, Badr has a good grasp of English.

Staff was very friendly.

Air conditioning didn't work. Location is unpleasant and inhospitable.

riad carina is a wonderful riad 3 minutes from the main square of marrakesh. It is very clean, comfortable and the stuff is very friendly. I strongly recomend a romantic candlight dinner in the roof . If i visit marrakesh again i definately revisit riad Carina.

1. The interior design (traditional Moroccan cedar, tile mosaic, wrought iron) of the riad is very nice and more low-key than many riads. 2. The staff were very courteous and offered any assistance needed. 3. The location was walking distance (with luggage) from the car park outside the Bab Berrima gate on the south side of the medina. 4. Located just off a side street and was very quiet. 5. Great value for the money to me. We had 2 rooms at ~$100 each in late May). Small room but not too small, comfortable bed, no sitting area, good water pressure, very nice courtyard, very clean. 6. Dinner was ~20 euro each. Excellent food (and one of us is Moroccan and knows what is authentic) served in the courtyard (was raining or would have had terrace service).

No complaints. Very, very nice staff and riad.

loved the authenticity of the riad and the staff were very helpful & friendly

cant write one single complaint

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The Riad itself was an oasis of calm and serene ambiance after the busy hot streets. We will definitely come back to this Riad as it was central for all our requirements.

Ottima posizione, bella terrazza sul tetto dalla quale si vedono le cicogne nei loro nidi sul vicinissimo muro del palazzo El Badi. Cucina ottima e personale gentilissimo. Molto fresca la camera nel patio a pianterreno, e fuori c'erano 43 gradi!

Sehr typisch an der Medina gelegen, hübscher Innenhof, Dachterrasse, super Frühstück, sehr nette Leute, Blick auf Storchennester idyllisch, kurzer Fußweg zur medina

Zimmer recht einfach aber gemütlich und landestypisch

Très belle décoration. Personnel très aimable et serviable. Très bien situé dans le centre ville.

Très difficile à trouver dans Marrakech sans être accompagné de quelqu'un qui connait précisemment l'emplacement dans la médina. Impossible de stationner longtemps à proximité.
