The hotel ,staff,proffesionalism and efficiency was fabulous.
The bedroom was lovely and ornate,clean and perfect for our stay.Breakfast was delicious .
The position of the riad was perfect
The pool area was dissapointing and this is the reason why we have scored a little lower.
A dip in the pool would have been lovely however the building work at the Palace surrounding the terrace was messy,dusty,fragments of brick in the pool was not attractive.
If you do not wish to swim or having a lie in the sun its great

Overall, the riad is beautiful and well located, we have nothing bad to stay about our comfort level however there were issues with this Riad.
On arrival we were asked to pay over 400 dirhams for the city tax despite it is advertised at 30 dirahms per person per night and should have been 300 for our stay. I argued this and eventually paid just over 300.
The breakfast was just ok, on the last day it was just bread. Other Riads we stayed at during our trip that we paid less for provided fruit and yoghurt and eggs everyday.
I asked for our room not to be cleaned but they did it anyway leaving the door unlocked every time.
On the last day I wanted to settle my bill as we were leaving early the next day. I was told I had to pay cash even thought it clearly indicates on the Expedia information that they accept all major credit cards. When I asked about this they told me their machine was not working. This meant I had to make two cash withdrawals costing me fees each time. They also charged me 200 dirhams more than the Expedia rate I had booked at.
It wasn't terrible, something just felt off about this Riad, you can find better.

The hotel messed up the booking and had no record of it, despite charging me for the two nights, sending me the initial confirmation, and then a further pre-check in email a week before offering various tours.

Upon arrival they were reluctant to help. It took 30 minutes of conversation before they finally agreed to find us another room at another sister hotel.

It would have made sense to stay at this hotel for both nights, given the fact the room was not booked. Instead they made us pack our bags and move our stuff out, back to the actual hotel, at midnight, following a busy day out exploring the city.

The room they provided was small, dirty, and had bugs on the floor.

The staff were very rude and showed no desire to help following their administrative error. There are plenty of good Riads in Marrakech, stay in these instead!

The property is in a fantastic location, right in the heart of the Medina. While the women at the front desk and service staff were polite and accommodating. But one male staff member was extremely rude and dishonest. He overcharged us beyond the Expedia quoted price and was overly pushy in trying to sell tours and recommend restaurants.

The rooms were decent but came with several issues, including bathroom doors that wouldn’t lock and a lack of hot water at night. Additionally, the deluxe room was much smaller than advertised on Expedia, certainly not the 500 sqft as listed.

Good

Very authentic place. Good location. Great service. Pool and rooftop area very nice. It is down a back street which can make you feel slightly apprehensive but so are most Riads and it is safe. I think the one thing I would like the staff to do is improve their communication. They didn’t tell us about city tax until last day- you can only pay in euros or dirham CASH and not card. Luckily we scraped enough together but if we couldn’t then it wouldn’t have been good. Also we asked for our boarding passes printed which they agreed but only when printed they said it was 20 dirham. The last thing was they never told us there was a 12pm curfew. They let us in at 2am but we would’ve rather not been an inconvenience to them. Rooms were ok a little dirty to be honest. There was no option to not asked for the room cleaned every day and had to leave key at reception whenever you leave riad. However it was a very authentic riad service was lovely and I would recommend it!

- Helpful staff. Zahira, Saeed, Aziza lend help as much as they can.
- Minimum but sufficient breakfast.
- Decent room
- Had heaters in room and toilet
- Good for the price we paid for


Improvements
- Room was bit small and congested
- Washroom utilities
- No staff to drop your luggage from/to cab
- Looks bit old and need some makeover

Without explanation they have changed the hotel. I had booked taxi transfer as well from the airport and the driver brought us to another address. That felt very uncomfortable. There is no 24 reception service. They kept rhe frontdoor open and our key on the front desk. After cleaning they did not locked the room. The breakfast is only with sweet marmalade.

Fantastic Riad!!!

The staff was outstanding. The Riad is lovely. The rooftop pool, the cool comfortable Riad and the AC in the bedrooms was a wonderful retreat from the 40 degree heat of Marrakesh in Aug. Great quiet location - close to palaces and museum and an easy walk to the centre of the action in the Medina. Taxi's close by for longer trips or getting to and from train or bus station. The staff was wonderful - always pleasant, welcoming and helpful. Breakfast was great. Three of us did a cooking class with the Riad cook. She took us shopping, we made a bunch of dishes and had a fantastic feast on the roof in the evening. Absolute worth it. They helped book a day tour for part of our group. Just an exceptional five day stay. We absolutely recommend Riad Carina.

Fantastic, easy and enjoyable experience.

Riad Carina lives up to the expectations. The hotel has just been renewed, and It looks fantastic. The attention is personal and friendly. They care for you and they will even take you to the place you are attempting to go with you. Said is there at night to receive you and there is always someone there to welcome. Someone will speak English, French, Arabic or Spanish to communicate. If if you want a drink that is not on the menu they will make an effort to find it for you and won't charge you any extra for it. We got the room on the roof, it was clean, with air con and we had wi-fi as well. We had our breakfast just a few steps away from our room and the swimming pool. Riad Carina was also quiet and while it was just 6 minutes away from the big market and Jamaa El Fna square it was a fantastic refuge from all the mess and intensity of Marrakech. I highly recommend this riad and I would again.

GREAT LOCATION NEAR THE JEMMA AL FINA AND PALACE

Stayed for 5 nights and 6 days in Marekesh (4 days is more than enough). Prices are hecked up so always bargain....whatever is the price half it and deduct further 5-10 Dh's, ...bargain and eventually you will come to 50% price.
Places to see is the Atlas mountain Tour, which we got the tickets from the shop and not the hotel, which was a bargain.....here too bargain as no price is fixed even though the board says otherwise.
Visit the New city, BUs 6 will take you for Dh4 single from near the Bus stand.
Sugar cane juice is a good especially with a bit of lemon juice in it. Massage argan oil was very relaxing though it was steep in price. Careful of the visits to the leather and carpet making as the smell will put you off buying the leather goods and also the guide was rude and also you could end up paying him a lot of money which you are told is free but remember that nothing is free and fix price before you go with guide.

Just stayed at riad Carina for 5 nights and had a wonderful time there. Staff and Said (he really made an effort, thanks) were very welcoming and helpful! The riad is beautifully decorated and comfortabel. The breakfast was every morning on the rooftop, watching the sunshine. It was a short walk to main square and its within walking distance of so many place, so getting around was really great! Would definitely stay again when in Marrakech!

Wonderful staff, beautiful interior

We had 4 nights at Riad Carina. After arranging a slight upgrade we were actually given the suite, a lovely gesture. The room was great and heating available for the chillier evenings. Azziza and Said always met us with a smile and gave us helpful tips for negotiating our way around the Medina. The roof terrace and internal patio were beautiful and so calm, a great retreat for a break from the excitement of the bustling streets. Breakfast of fresh bread, jams, pancake, fresh juice and coffee or morrocan tea on the patio was lovely. Watching the storks on the terrace while relaxing in the sun was a real treat. Great staff, beautiful building (although you'd never guess how lovely from the unassuming door from the alley way - something we found throughout the Medina!). Thank you!

Oasis among the medina

What I love about this place is coming in from the madness of Marrakech going to the terrace and either watching the storks fly high or settle in their nests on the walls of the medina. As for the staff they could not have been more welcoming. This is my second time staying there and its the best place I have found on low budget accommodation under the 30euro mark . We missed Siad but still glad to see familiar and welcoming staff. Great place 😊

Beautiful riad, apathetic staff

We stayed two nights and really enjoyed the riad. We were upgraded to a suite and just loved it, even though the drains in the sink and shower didn't work.

We booked a room with them again two days later and upon arrival were informed that the reservation was cancelled because someone else booked the room before us; which was untrue. We showed them our confirmation email and they just shrugged their shoulders! They finally agreed to honour our reservation by moving us to another riad because they were basically overbooked.

We didn't mind staying in another riad, but were really turned off by the way we were treated.

Great location for visiting the Saadian tombs, the Mella and the El Bahia palace.From the roof garden you get a closeup view of the white stork colony nesting on the wall of the El Badii palace next door. The Jamaa El Fna market and souks and the El Koutoubia Mosque are 15 minutes walk away.The staff are friendly and very helpful. The special Moroccan dinner they cooked for us was superb.

Great Staff, comfortable Raid

We stayed here for three nights. The first night we were in the building next door, but they moved us to a suite in the main building for the next two nights. The staff was very helpful and we took advantage of their airport transfer service, which was more expensive then a taxi but much more comfortable and you did not have to deal with paying the driver or negotiating the price. We had dinner in the hotel one night, it was one of the best meals with had during our stay in Marrakech. The neighborhood is quite which is nice and it is about a 10 minute walk to the main square.
The room let in some noise from the central patio, was probably our only complaint.

The comfort of a home with a 5 star service.

We recently came back from spending 6 nights at Riad Carina and we could not be happier with the service we got. Everything, from the transfer from the airport, to the way we were received was just perfect. Entering the patio area for the first time made us both feel like we had just entered a new world.

The Sahara room was great, the bed was comfy and the bathroom was well appointed and the shower pressure was fine (the shower head could be set a little higher though!). The breakfast we ate every morning was also very good and well thought out. Another extra was the mint tea we got served whenever we wanted which we could enjoy up at the terrace, lying down on the chaise-longs from which you can watch the storks (they have a fascinating ‘welcome home’ ritual that’s worth seeing!).

We would strongly recommend this Riad for whoever wants to experience what living in an old Moroccan home must have felt like, while being about 10/15 walk from the main square and within walking distance of some of the major sights in an area that, in spite of being very lively, it never really felt unsafe, even at 3 o'clock in the morning!

Extra mention goes to the young man who looked after us for almost our entire stay: not only he did a wonderful job but, also, he was genuinely happy to help us out. Huge kudos to him and to the rest of the staff from Riad Carina. Keep it up, you’re doing everything right!

Great mint tea

Lovely riad with friendly staff. We enjoyed our stay. Room was clean, spacious and beautifully decorated in typical Moroccan style. We were welcomed with lovely mint tea on arrival. Staff were helpful (re-confirmed our flights, etc). The roof terrace was especially nice & has various areas in sun/shade & good views of the storks nesting on Badi Palace walls next door. Breakfast was served in couttyard downstairs; yoghurt, pastries, bread, coffee, juice (but no tea). All very nice. The only negative was having to share the riad with smokers - inevitable, I know, but not pleasant when you wake up in the morning to smoke wafting in through the bedroom windows from the courtyard below. This would be the same with ALL riads, however, unless renting exclusively. Overall, excellent riad. Enjoyed!!

Perfect location, friendly staff

We stayed in mid-March for 3 nights and were very happy with the location and hospitality.
Jemaa el Fna and the souks were easy walking distance (less than 10 minutes) and the palaces and tombs were on the doorstep. The staff amazing, going out of their way to help with any queries or requests.

The only issue we had was that our room was on the ground floor, with windows and entrance facing onto the dining room/courtyard. We found it a bit awkward on the first night and morning, but it didn't spoil our experience and we would definitely stay again based on points above.

A tranquil haven

Riad Carina is located in a quiet street & within walking distance of the Jeema el-Fna as well as many of the main tourist sighs including the El-Badi & Bahai Palaces, Saadian Tombs, the souks, the Ben Youssef Medursa, the Kasbah & Koutoubia Mosques to name a few. The Riad is tastefully decorated in the Berber style & has a very calm presence. The staff were at hand to answer any questions & to provide a refreshing pot of mint tea upon request. They were always welcoming & friendly. The room was very clean & comfortable. We chose the Cannelle room on the roof terrace where we had a great view of the walls of the el-Badi Palace & the storks that nest there. We also ordered dinner at the Riad. The food was better than any other we had eaten during our time in Marrakech. Our stay at the Riad really enhanced our experiences in Marrakech & we would certainly stay there again & have no hesitation in recommending it to friends.

Great hotel for a peaceful stay

A truly wonderful, quiet and welcoming small riad. The staff are very helpful, and if you book an evening meal there you are in for a great treat. Also a lovely terrace with storks nesting only yards away!

In the hearth of the historical part

We appreciated not only the location, but especially the elegant look of the rooms, court and terrace, which was furnished with a very good sense for the architecture and spirit of the site. The personnel was very helpful and friendly. Also the numerous white storks in the nests in the nearby pallace walls completed the exotic atmosphere of the hotel.

Very happy at Riad Carina

I planned a trip to Marrakesh on a whim as part of a larger excursion in Europe, a place I was more comfortable with. As a solo female traveler arriving in the evening, I was initially very nervous. When I called the Riad Carina to confirm the reservation, they offered to set up an airport transport for me, and a driver picked me up from the airport, and walked me right to the door of the Riad, which is not accessible by car.

Once inside, my concerns disappeared as I was charmed by the place, and made to feel right at home. I was greeted, given mint tea and small cookies, and encouraged to relax, and settle in. The person in charge of the hotel showed me (and walked with me) to a small restaurant just around the corner, and I had a very nice dinner before tucking in for the night. My room was quaint and clean, and there were rose petals scattered in it the first night -- on the linen, the bathmat, etc.

The Riad is in a nice location, a short walk from the main square and monuments, in a neighborhood which is quiet at night and very safe. I spent my days and evenings running around in the hustle bustle of Marrakesh, and then was able to escape it at night for a very pleasant sleep.

Breakfast is both tasty and is served very elegantly in a small side room, and after asking for tea with sugar on the first day, I found it automatically on my breakfast platter. Most other guests were families or larger groups of adults, and the comfortable atmosphere seemed to encourage polite conversations among the various guests (which was nice as I like to feel a sense of community.).

Overall, the place was delightful, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure that I felt at home and comfortable. I would recommend Riad Carina to anyone looking for a warm, intimate place with a cozy feeling, and particularly for couples, families, or solo travelers like me looking for something new and different.

Great find in Marrakech!

The hotel staff alone would have made my stay at the Riad Carina a wonderful experience.Combined with the Riad's charming interior and excellent location this has become one of those stays that I will long remember with fondness.
Enjoyed myself so much that I stayed an extra night.
If you stay here be sure to make arrangements to have dinner at the Riad.The food and service are outstanding.
Only criticism would be that breakfast could be a bit more varied.

Hotel Riad Carina in Marrakech, Morocco

The Riad Carina was exactly like the photos posted on the internet. The staff was very friendly and very helpful. The hotel will also arrange transportation for 20 Euro from the airport to the hotel. It's close to the Souk and restaurants.The location is great and I will definitely return there.

Il riad è molto carino e pulito non mi è piaciuto affatto che il ragazzo della reception fosse sempre pronto a fregarti in ogni modo come peraltro tutti a Marrakech. Quando abbiamo chiesto del taxi mi ha detto che dovevamo per forza prenderne due perchè eravamo e pagarne due in 8 ma alla fine è arrivato un minivan per tutte 8. Oppure quando ci voleva vendere una escursione a un prezzo spropositato...

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour au Riad Carina, le personnel est très accueillant et aux petits soins. La chambre était spacieuse et agréable. L'intérieur du riad est vraiment très beau, la piscine à l'étage est légèrement petite mais très agréable également (avec de l'ombre).

Le petit déjeuner est servi à table entre 8h et 10h dans une salle climatisée. Il y est également possible de manger le midi et le soir sur demande (réservation la veille), par personne il faut compter 15€ pour le déjeuner et 19€ pour le dîner (plus cher que les restaurants de la Médina).

Il y a également un petit espace pour les massages, qui sont proposés à des prix abordable (entre 20€ et 40€) mais nous n'avons pas testé.

Le riad se trouve directement au pied du Palais el Badiî, avec une façade commune à la muraille. Les alentours du riad sont typiques de la Médina.

Bref, un rapport qualité/prix au top du top !

Fint sted

Fint sted og bra beliggenhet. Ikke farlig å gå rundt i området, selv ikke på kvelden. Vi var trøtte når vi ankom og tenkte å sove på ettermiddagen, det ble umulig grunnet støy fra resepsjon/kjøkken.Det var bedre om natten, men be om rom borte fra resepsjonen. Det var grei frokost. Takterrassen med basseng er flott i varnt vær.

立地もサービスもよく、すてきなリヤド

場所はエルバディ宮殿のそば、フナ広場までも徒歩圏内で、とても便利な場所にあります。
わたしは、マラケシュ駅からプチタクシーでエルバディ宮殿まで行き、宿まで行きました。
スーク内にあるリヤドより、わかりやすい場所にあると思いました。
プチタクシー乗り場がそばにあるのも便利で、はじめてのモロッコ旅行でも安心だと思いました。
リヤドでは、交通機関の場所や時間、プチタクシーで行くなら相場の料金、フナ広場への行き方など、教えてくれました。
砂漠ツアーの申し込みを受け付けていて、申込みました。
申し込む際、私のつたない英語の質問にも親切に答えてくれて大変ありがたかったです。
内装がかわいらしく、気軽に訪れることができるすてきなリヤドでした。

Beautiful Riad, Great Staff

Everything was just perfect. We were impressed by the extremely friendly and helpful staff. Our room was very clean, comfortable and beautifully decorated. The riad has a lovely design and relaxed atmosphere and it is ideally located (and easy to find, which is a big plus in Marrakesh). There is also a swimming pool at the roof terrace, which we really liked. All in all, we highly recommend Riad Carina!
