Riad Dar Karma

As someone who needs immaculate cleanliness when it comes to choosing places to stay when i travel, i was ecstatic at the cleanliness of the hotel. On top of that, riad was not only pristine but serene and comforting, with beautiful picturesque decor. The most touching thing was the hospitality of all the staff, even though we were travelling as a group of three girls, we felt extremely safe in their care, i would like to particularly mention the kindness of Naoual, the hotel manager, who not only arranged amazing luxury tours at such inexpensive prices but also for going the extra mile to ensure we were safe throughout our time there, especially if we were coming late from a tour. The rooms were beautiful and extremely comfortable and fresh breakfast was made every morning which also tasted delicious (for our booking the breakfast was free everyday). On a side note, I would highly recommend booking activities through Naoual because the tours were amazing and from research, better value for money i.e. much cheaper than booking directly with other tour companies. She kindly recommended the best attractions and what to look out for, i would say that our stay in Morocco was thankfully incredible due to her help. Her and the rest of the staff at Riad Dar Karma were extremely genuine in their hospitality throughout their stay, that we often thought of it as our home during our short stay. The hammam inside Riad Dar Karma also included really good prices so i highly suggest indulging in the spa experiences within the Riad itself. I would also like to thank Ibrahim and Karim, the drivers for our private luxury tours Naoual kindly arranged for their excellent hospitality and service. Would definitely visit this Riad again!

After stepping away from the bustle of the Kasbah within Marrakesh, entering Riad Karma was like entering an oasis. We arrived and Abdul open the door with a huge smile and a welcoming hello. The interior garden was light under a moonlight night. This is a small riad in a residential area. The details of the wood carving on the ceiling and doors were incredible. The bathroom was spacious and clean. The bed linens were soft cotton. While we were there only 4 other couples were staying so we rarely got to see them. Breakfast is served in the terrace with only nutrional food and freshly squeezed orange juice. I would recommend this jewel to couples. Philadelphia, USA

Dar Karma is a very beautiful riad hidden away in the back alleys just off the rue de la Kasbah. Some friends of ours had recommended it to us and we were not disappointed - we spent four wonderful nights there and enjoyed every moment of our stay. The riad is beautifully decorated and our bedroom had the most ornate painted ceiling and stone work, together with a large and airy bathroom. Breakfast was good, especially the warm pancakes. We ate dinner at the riad on two evenings and were delighted with the simple but delicious Moroccan cuisine which we were served - well worth it. During our stay in February, only two of the rooms were occupied and so it often felt as if we had the entire place to ourselves. Although it was not quite warm enough to benefit from the pool or the large roof top terrace, we made the most of the hammam and the cosy fireside lounge. The owner and staff were always very helpful and made our stay very comfortable - kindly upgrading us to a suite because our pick-up from the airport had been delayed (a quick phone call sorted this all out). Although a little bit of a walk from the main square, all in all, this is a great place to stay and one which we would highly recommend.

This was not the absolute best of the four riads i stayed at in morocco, but it was by far the best value. for the price, this is a beautiful riad and would recommend for budget travelers. there were rose petals laid out in our gorgeous, upgraded room, with an incredible bathroom that was like a private hammam. we also ate dinner here and the food was superb. we were very impressed. i would say maybe they could use a little more staff to better service, but not if it would increase the price!

We loved the whole Riad. It is a little away from the main road (Rue di Kasbah) making it tranquil. The beds are comfortable, breakfast is both tasty, changes every day and adequate in quantity. Naoual the manager and Achmed along with the kitchen staff are extremely friendly and go out of their way to help. We reached late in the afternoon, and they quickly produced a tasty lunch. The Riad is walking distance to Jemah al Fnah and the souks making it a nice experience of absorbing the experience. Everyone pitched in with a bit a cultural education that really helped talking to others.

We had a very nice week staying at the riad. Breakfast was delicious, it is quiet, the main square is close on foot. Rooms/spaces are clean, the Hamam was great as well. Nice and polite staff. We enjoyed every moment we had here. It is a real Moroccan experience!
