PROS - regular cleaning - AC - enough electric sockets - pool - staff is really nice - breakfast is OK - bathroom was big - hairdryer, towels - nice riad overall - shower gel and shampoo (though shared in big bottles) - parking nearby

CONS - the room we stayed in isn’t pictured in any of the categories; it was much darker as it had fewer and smaller windows and looked ‘used’ (note that pic is taken during the night) - bad lighting - had 4 bank cards, none worked at the hotel (haven’t had issues elsewhere) - small room - one big shower gel that you have to move around between shower and sink; two would be nicer - it was our 3rd stay in Morocco (also Marrakech) with several different accommodations and honestly we were a bit disappointed in terms of price/quality ratio - the bed is very used, it was impossible to sleep - breakfast on the terrace would be much nicer (it’s on the ground floor in a special room) - small bed (specified though)

Our stay at Riad Carina was absolutely exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed into this charming and impeccably maintained riad. The cleanliness of the property was outstanding, with every detail meticulously cared for, making it a comfortable and relaxing retreat after exploring the bustling streets of the Medina. The location of Riad Carina is unbeatable, situated right in the heart of the Old City. It’s perfect for those looking to immerse themselves in the vibrant culture and history of Marrakech. Everything from the souks to key attractions was just a short walk away, yet the riad itself felt like a tranquil haven. What truly made our stay unforgettable, however, was Said. Words can not fully capture how wonderful he was throughout our visit. Said was more than a host; he was a true gem—kind, helpful, and endlessly sweet. He went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, from recommendations on where to visit to arrange anything we required. His genuine hospitality and warm demeanour made us feel like part of the family. If you're considering staying in Marrakech, Riad Carina is an absolute must. It's a perfect blend of charm, comfort, and unparalleled hospitality. We can’t wait to return! Thank you!!!

Nothing, everything was perfect.

Perfect spot to visit the Medina, right the in the historical heart of Marrakech. All the attractions are at a walkable distance. The Riad Is beautiful, clean and comfortable. They welcome you with Moroccan tea and they make you feel at home. The room was beautiful, and finely decorated, like the bathroom. Said really goes the extra mile to make you feel at home and enjoy your stay, from sorting taxis, booking trips, serving you breakfast and store your luggage. We would definitely stay here again if back in Marrakech

The bed and the pillows were a bit too firm and sometimes in the late afternoon the Riad got a bit too noisy to rest but nothing major

Booking came with breakfast although my mother and I never had it. The location in terms of the city was pretty awesome(it is in the Medina) however, the Riad itself is down a small lane/alley so be careful with the wheels of your suitcases or if you have any early morning activities. Although the sir at the reception is kind enough to accompany uou if you are alone. The 10 euro taxi pick up to the riad becomes 50 dirhams (to the train station) when leaving…. Overall nice, clean, small issues with the hot water and not a lot of tv channels in the room… but you should be out and about anyways 😄, the restaurant at the roundabout is affordable and delicious.

The room was very comfortable. The location is just far enough back from the mayhem to have some peace and quiet with a very nice roof terrace, sun chairs and pool. (no views from the terrace). Wifi is minimal in some places on the terrace. The breakfast was a minimal serving of your typical Moroccan breakfast which we skipped on two of the three mornings we were there. We found the best coffee at the Tafoukte restaurant at the end of the street on the left where you can sit and watch the morning chaos enter through the medina wall.

I really didn't like the fact that I had carried my own bags to the top floor (2 x 23kg bags 3rd floor) while the gentleman showing us to our room just watched. Even after me leaving one bag on the first landing I still had to go back and retrieve it. Don't get me wrong I am quite capable of carrying my bags but I do expect some curtesy when paying top dollar for accommodation.

A really gorgeous Riad, in a prime location! Our bedroom was on the terrace which was super handy for us when we wanted to chill outside on the sun loungers or go for a dip in the pool. The food served at the Riad was exceptional, it was really clean and amazing value for money.

One of the only down sides for us was trying to pay at the property. None of our cards worked despite us using them at other locations. Despite having a card against the booking, they wouldn't allow us to pay through booking.com so in the end we had to take money out which took us a while due to limits at the card machines. Just a warning to pay before you arrive as this can be a really tedious situation for both the Riad and yourself.

Location just 3 mins walk.from Tinsmiths Square and the cafes and restaurants. Once through the entrance door in a cobbled alleyway, it's a beautiful Riad. An oasis of calm from the hustle and bustle of the nearby market. We had Room 3 which was spacious. The bed was large and comfortable. There was plenty of storage space for clothing. A very good breakfast of coffee, juice, pancakes or omelette, bread and coconut cake. Lovely roof terrace overlooking the old Palace walls and the nesting Storks. A 20 min walk from the Saddian Tombs, the Mosque and right next to the entrance to the Badia Palace. The Bahia place is a short walk away also.

A real gem of a riad tucked up against the walls of the palace. The location is excellent with easy walks to central spots. The riad is very calm and peaceful, with beautiful rooms, all newly modernised and decorated. There is a comfortable dining room for breakfast, which was delicious, and for dinner, also excellent. The roof terrace is a nice extra, with a pool for the warmer months. The staff could not be more kind. Nothing was too much trouble, from organising drivers and providing meals, to taking care of our possessions whilst we made a trip away. We made this riad the hub of our travelling holiday, returning to it three times, and felt like old friends by the time we left.

All was perfect.

Loved the location, far enough from the madness of Jemaa el fna, but a direct 10 min walk there Lovely design of rooms and riad with rugs , tiling giving it an authentic feel Plunge pool on very hot days-35+ deg arvos, but really good A/C in rooms Mint tea on arrival

Being shooshed as I walked down to breakfast after 9am, despite lots of noise by others after midnight on the roof- seemed a bit much Breakfast was small but some days tasty , others a bit bland I needed to requested tea every morning and I felt awkward asking each day

We are sorry to delay our review.Getting back from our holidays, every day reality came heavy. But after some time, we want to say how much we enjoyed our stay in Riad Carina,me and Kim. So perfectly organised, clean and the staff is amazing. Special thanks to Zahira(she is brilliant!),and to Said,they were so helpful. And not to forget the amazing dinner with the tagine we had and special thanks to the cook. We strongly suggest, next travellers to try this dinner offer by the Riad Thanks again, Dimitris and Kim
