My family and I had a great time at Riad Karim. Youness and Awatif were so kind and friendly that we felt at home. They always had a smile on their faces and would go above and beyond to help and make us feel taken care of. I honestly don't remember the last time we stayed somewhere and were treated so warmly. The riad is cozy and it is perfect for those looking for a more authentic experience. The breakfast is generous and tasty. Rooms have good air conditioning and reliable wifi. They also serve really good food upon request. Before arrival we were worried about walking around at night, but the area is actually extremely safe and there are a few good restaurants nearby as well. We are delighted with the experience. It was worthy and very fairly priced.

Staying in Kasbah was a really nice experience, out of the crowded Medina, authentic and local part of the city. On the way to the riad, it was possible to assist the daily Moroccan' routine. Close to Badi Palace, Mellah and Tombs. The room had a huge bed and a wide bathroom, the staff cleaned our room every day. Amazing terrace where we had our breakfast. All the staff was friendly, welcoming and helpful, all of them ensured we felt like at home! Thanks Younes for all the funny moments! ☺️😉🇲🇦🤝🏽🇮🇹 Through the riad we also booked an airport transfer and a day trip to Essaouira!!

The staff was great! They were helpful, accomodating, communicative and nice. They actually made our experience at this Riad unforgettable. I want to give a special thank you to the people working at reception: Younes en Awatif! They went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. Upon our arrival, which was very late, Younes even shared his food with my cousin. We got another room after our first night because we just couldn't sleep there. The lady that makes the breakfast and cleans the rooms does such an excellent job. The Riad is decorated in a traditional way, which gives it a very cozy feel.
The first night we slept so poorly. The downstairs rooms let in too much noise, especially since we are light sleepers. Luckily that got solved as we got an upgrade. We slept like babies in that other room! The water pressure in the shower however was very weak. To be honest we did not like the area at all but that is something they can't do much about. Kasbah is just not for everyone.

Exceptional stay! We loved the location, the room and the communal spaces. The breakfast served at the terrace varied everyday and was delicious. We had a chance to talk with the hosts, learn about life in a desert and a few useful words. The location was great - close to a couple of great restaurants and the main square. We Would definitely go back! SHUKRAN :)

I loved the homely atmosphere of this Riad, we truly felt welcome and all staff made us feel right at home. Special thanks to Awatif , Younis, and everyone else who went out of their way to make sure we were well taken care of. Awatif was great with keeping communication and making sure that we reached the Riad okay. They took care of us as if we were family, the Riad is good value for money, I really enjoyed the complimentary breakfast and calm feeling of the riad , the décor is beautifully done. The Riad is in the Kasbah area, which is great because it's not in the midst of the hustle bustle of the city center , and can be in a more quiet area with locals. Very close walk to the Moulay el Yazid Mosque, and beautiful historic neighborhood. The staff have really made this a special experience for us, thank you so much to everyone at Riad Karim!

Cute little Riad with very nice staff that stay up all hours to make sure you make it home safely. Delicious breakfast on the beautiful rooftop. Clean rooms, albeit small. All in all very good value for money.
It's hard to find and get to at night, due to the earthquake & narrow roads taxis did not go there all the way, so some walking is required. It doesn't have the amenities of the fancier riads (no pool, the common area is very small) but for that you pay less.

We loved the fact that the Riad is located in the Marrakesh Jewish neighborhood, away from the crowded and touristic center, which allowed us to have a very local experience. The Riad is very nice and clean, with a familiar atmosphere, the breakfast is awesome and traditional, Rachid will ensure that you are well feed before you leave for your day. Thank you Rachid for your help and kindness, you made our stay so great!

It was my first trip to Morocco and this Riad Karim on 26 Derb Sarij Gnaoua 40 000 Marrakech by far exceeded my expectations. The breakfast was very delicious, the staff were very helpful. They reached out to me at the airport to guide me to the location of the hotel. They gave me a lot of recommedations as a tourist. The manager, Dounia was very professional. Staff member Awatif made a restaurant reservations for me and Mohamed waited for me to open the door at 2am. You guys are awesome!!!
Honestly I don't have anything negative to write here. Just make sure to double check which Riad Karim you choose if you're using google maps. It gets confusing sometimes.

Everything! It was the coziest space I stayed at throughout my stay in Marrakech. The room was neat and looked exactly like the pictures advertised. The staff - Awatif and others were exceptionally kind. They were always willing to help and checked in several times to make sure I was having a pleasant stay. Breakfast every day was great. Fresh orange juice, tea/coffee/cocoa, bread, cake, eggs and more! They also make nice beef Tanjine. I had this for dinner on my first day and I loved it! In comparison to other luxury places I stayed at (Agafay luxury camp and Riad Le Rehani), Riad Karim had the best WiFi connection. It didn’t go off once, during my stay. I highly recommend this place for anyone coming to Marrakech. You can also arrange with the host to plan tours around the city, which, to me, is more convenient.
