Riad Al Karama

A riad with "local color" in the very heart of Medina A smallest room (Muscade Twin)!!! - the photos of the riad give totally untrue idea of its size. A tiny window on the level of bed led into inner corridor and patio - no privacy whatsoever! In the night when we closed it we had a feeling we slept in a coffin - it was one of the worst nights in my life(( On the day of our departure the staff removed all our belongings (even unpacked ones) at 11 am, when we were away and said we would come back by 11.30 and vacate the room (official check-out - 12 am). We also ordered a transfer from train station, and taxi driver made us pay extra money to the local porter - later we told this to the hotel owner, but there was no reimbursement.

The location was close to the souks and the rooms were nice and spacious. lovely view from the roof terrace. very disappointed as booked a room that I thought had a double and a single bed like showed in the picture, I also made a note that the room would be for 3 people.On arrival owner looked surprised to see 3 people.The room that I had booked had been given to somebody else,obviously had not read the note that the room was for 3!! Then on check out we were charged and extra 20euros for the extra bed, when I thought I had a booked a room for 3 people anyway! I booked the riad as I thought we would only be charged for an extra breakfast as the room I thought I had booked was for 3 and didn't need an extra bed! If I had known that the it would be an extra 20euros for the 3 person would have definitely stayed somewhere else!!

The Riad is very well situated in the Medina, and - what is the most important - easy to find!!! Only a 5-10 minute walk to the famous place Djema el Fna. It's located in a very quiet narrow street, we didn't hear any noise from bustling Marrakesch. The patio is very nice decorated as well as our room and bathroom. Breakfast, served on the terrace,was simple but good.We can absolutely recommend it Nothing!! The only thing we missed in our room (Safran room) was a reading lamp ... but we have been tired anyway from the bustling Marrakesh.
