    Only slight issue is that my bedroom was right next to the central communal area so it was a bit noisy. This was fine as the other guests were considerate and went to bed at a reasonable time but might be tricky if other guests are noisy

    Really friendly staff. Even made me a takeaway flight because my tour left so early in the morning. Beautiful riad full of Moroccan charm

    A little gem of a Riad hidden within the heart of Marrakesh

    Visited Marrakesh for 3 days without much planning, so we booked Riad Al Karama just couple of days before our travel. We're a couple with 2 kids, a 9 year old and a 13 year old. We were so happy we found this gem of a place in the heart of Marrakesh. The Riad was exactly how we expected going by the pictures. The Riad is just 3-4 minutes walk from the characteristic, busy, beautify and noisy Derb Debachi street and yet the Riad is so quiet and serene. A lot of attention has gone into the details of designing the Riad. Sylvie who owns the Riad was super kind and we felt so safe. Ali, who works at the Riad, took great care of us. The Riad is a 10 minute walk (via the Derb Debachi) to the main square Jemaa El Fna. There's also a small provision store a minute or two away from the Riad. For those planning to stay at the Riad - The taxis can't take you all the way to the Riad as these roads are very narrow. This applies not just for Riad Al Karama, but more most Riads in the medina that are not on the main roads. When arriving from the airport by taxi, you can either ask to get off at the Jemaa El Fna (main square), which is 10 minutes walk, but not a good idea lugging your suitcases. Instead, ask the taxi guy to drop you at the parking spot close to the Riad. This is about 300 meters away. If this is your first time, you'll still find it a bit of a challenge to navigate through those alleys to find the Riad (again, in general, not just Riad Al Karama). We arrived around 11:30pm at the car park. You'll find someone willing to show you the way (and even carry your suitcases). We found a bloke (Yasin?) who asked 40 MAD, but settled for 20 MAD. He took our luggage in his wheel barrow and took us through those alleys to the Riad. I strongly suggest you take this option (if you trust the person) when you arrive for the first time.

    Difficult to find- use the booking.com map rather than google maps as we originally went to the wrong place. It rained heavily during the night and we were woken up to water coming through the ceiling and onto one of the beds. Once fixed I’m sure this won’t be a problem but wasn’t a good night sleep at the time.

    The location is great and Sylvie was lovely! The room was decorated well and the breakfast was nice.

    Small but cute Riad in the centre of Marrakech. Our host Sylvie was great and super sweet! The terrace was really nice and even though it was close to all the busy streets was really quiet.

    Everything. The pickup from the airport was very smooth, even though we arrived at 12 am. Very warm welcome by everyone. Sylvie is a delight and very helpful! The location is great, really one of the best (this was our first time in Marrakech). We always felt at ease. It's in a quiet side street but the action is around the corner. The riad itself is incredibly cute. The roof terrace offers a view of the Koutoubia mosque, not to be missed! The room was very clean. Breakfast varied a little bit every morning, which we appreciated. It doesn't get boring. Be advised that this is a typical beautiful riad. Because of the architecture you have less privacy than in a standard hotel, but that's part of the deal :) (Windows are all towards the inner court). We never thought it's a disadvantage and would highly recommend this riad to everyone.

    we couldn’t understand why breakfast is served so late, from 8.30 till 10.30. taking into account that there is plenty of tours which pick up is at 8am, you skip your breakfast and that’s a pity.

    the road is super cute and very well taken care of. with plenty of little details and beautiful decoration. breakfast is good, and served in the lovely rooftop. plus, the owner is a super kind and welcoming. few minutes walking from the main square. we couldn’t have breakfast one day and she prepared us one to go.

    Only thing was I couldn't find the remote to turn on the heater, and it got cold at night. It was only until late at night I realized I needed it, so I'm sure if I asked they would have told me.

    Sylvie was warm and welcoming from the start. The breakfast was delicious and filling, with fresh fruit and traditional baked goods. Location was great, and not hard to find. We used the app maps.me to navigate offline which was a huge help in the medina. Rooms were very clean, and courtyard felt homey yet spacious.

    The small riad is beautiful with cozy and clean rooms, good internet, great breakfast and a sunny rooftop terrace! Silvie, the host, gave us a warm welcome and helped us with all our requests (printing flight tickets, laundry, airport transport, late check-out). She’s a real sunshine who lifts up your mood immediately. The rest of the team is also super helpful & friendly. The riad is centrally located, in the middle if the Medina. We would come back again! :)

    Silvi, our host is a gem, very helpfull & kind. The best! Our room was clean and spacious, very quiet and calm even nighttime. The Riad is close to the most busy shopping street, but still quiet and the area feels safe even night time and all narrow street.

    Maybe an AC is needed to be added in the room we were staying in. The breakfast even if really nice was too sweet for our taste (we liked the home made yogurt though).

    We stayed three nights in the riad on October. It was an excellent stay, we enjoyed it a lot. The riad is very clean, well designed and equipped. Our room was very comfortable and charming. The riad has also a very beautiful rooftop where we enjoyed both breakfasts and sunsets. The owner was welcoming and very positive person, we had nice talks with her. We definitely recommand this riad.

    Very disappointed, the toilet seat was floating, bathroom electric plug was gouging out. Lots of mushrooms on side wall. Very tight space on sides of bed. Please check the pictures.

    Highly overrated Riyad, very basic breakfast. Location is not far from Jemaa El Fna but in a small street. If you have big bags be prepared to take small cart-man to reach and get out of the property.
