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.

Absolutely beautiful Riad, very traditional and quiet! Before we arrived, the hotel made us feel very welcome and made sure all elements of our stay were easy and pre-arranged. Upon arrival, the Riad arranged for us to be collected at the airport. The room, although small, was exactly what we wanted, minimalist and quaint. Our first night, the staff catered a delicious 3 course dinner, in a stunning private area. Definitely the best Lamb Tagine we had during our visit and so much cheaper than we expected. The breakfast, included, was tasty and offered a lot of variety. The Riad is located right in a prime location and very easy to find and negotiate around the busy city. We felt completely safe during our stay. And the everywhere was happy to accept Dirhams or Euros. We pretty much had the roof top pool all to ourselves during our stay which was amazing. During our stay Badr and his team made us feel very welcome and catered to all our needs, cannot fault his service and the accommodation. Would recommend to anyone who wants a traditional place to stay in Marrakech. Thank you so much! Jordan & Alex

Great location. Good size room with a good-sized bathroom. The pool area was good to have. The Raid was cool even with the high temperatures, and the air conditioning in the room was wonderful. The staff were friendly and helpful. We had dinner when we arrived and it was delicious and good value.

Personally, breakfast wasn't for us. Only coffee was served, and you needed to ask for tea. We found breakfast was the same every day except the egg dish changed. We knew what to expect for breakfast but felt a little variety would have been good.

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.

I stayed at Riad Carina with my mother and we couldn’t have been happier with our choice. The riad is in a quiet and safe street, just a short walk from all the main attractions in the Medina—perfect for exploring Marrakech on foot. Said and Zahira were amazing hosts, always ready to help and made sure everything was perfectly organised for us. Their kindness really made a difference. The rooms were clean, beautifully decorated, and very comfortable. There’s also a lovely rooftop with a small pool—great for relaxing after a busy day in the city. On our first night, we enjoyed a lovely dinner at the riad. For just €38 total for two people, we had a delicious meal along with a 30-minute massage each—an excellent value and a perfect way to settle in after traveling. Breakfast each morning was simple but very nice, with freshly and deliciously prepared eggs. We truly felt at home. Thank you, Said and Zahira, for such a memorable stay. Highly recommended!

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.
