All'inizio tutto alla grande,belle camere,bellissimi bagni,pulizia,cortesia e una bella colazione. Ma il terzultimo giorno della mia permanenza,mentre ero in giro,e probabilmente durante le pulizie, SONO STATO DERUBATO IN CAMERA (nel vero senso della parola). Avevo due banconote da 50 euro nel portafoglio,portafoglio chiuso in valigia con il lucchetto. In tutti i miei precedenti viaggi è stato abbastanza,ma non questa volta. Non ci vuole nulla a ficcare la punta di una penna nella cerniera ed aprire,senza forzare il lucchetto. La zona della Kasbah trasmette un po di ansia,con presenze losche che tentano di vendere hashish (ma nulla di eccezionale a marrakech)ma fino a quel giorno non è mai successo nulla e neppure dopo. C'è per forza lo zampino dello staff perchè la hall è minuscola e non accorgersi che qualcuno si è intrufolato è impossibile. Le discutibili presenze all'esterno del Riad avranno avuto il via libera da qualcuno dello staff. Decisi di tacere e non mettermeli contro visto gli altri 2 giorni di permanenza. Poi,una cosa mai vista prima:il penultimo giorno ci dicono che avremmo cambiato il Riad perchè dovevano iniziare dei lavori al Karim. Eravamo l'ultima coppia rimasta,non avrebbero potuto aspettare mezza giornata e ce ne saremmo andati e così iniziare i lavori tranquillamente? Dicono si aprirà un altro Riad,non so come andrà a finire in realtà. Ad ogni modo:EVITATE

Gute Lage, mitten im Leben und total ruhig. Schönes Ambiente mit Liebe zum Detail. Der aromarische Duft im ganzen Haus ist ein Traum. MONA ist die gute Seele und eine kompetente Ansprechpartnerin für Alles👌👍 Es gibt Nichts, was sie nicht organisieren könnte. Eine großartige Hilfe für unseren ersten Aufenthalt in Marrakesch . Tolle Powerfrau !

Les points positives?........ La gentillesse de l'acceuil, et un jeune homme sympathique qui a assuré le transfert de l’aéroport au Riad. Et basta. Nous aurions dû partir après la première nuit. Le derb n'est pas le plus propre ou sain de la Kasbah. La moisissure dans le Riad vous tape les narines à l'entrée, comme un mur de spores en suspension. Tristounet comme tout, nous avons vécu trois nuitées et trois petit déjs dans un pénombre entourés de saleté, et dans une nuage de moisi. L'odeur restait sur nos vêtements et dans nos valises des jours après notre départ. Chambre trop petite - lit contre un mur. Clim/chauffage réversible en panne. Draps pas propres, tachés (mascara?). Poils sur les draps. Moutons par terre. Une baignoire infecte qui avait besoin il y a 5 ans de voir le tadelakt refait. Pommeau de douche manquant. Presque pas assez de débit pour se doucher donc manque de pommeau un peu académique. Verre à brosse à dents sale. Ampoule manquante miroir sdb. Sèche-cheveux horriblement poussiéreux, pas nettoyé. Vieilles serviettes de bain dur comme du carton. Poubelle de sdb pas vidé du jour au lendemain. Un sol en besoin d’être refait ou au moins bien poli, en mauvaise état et qui semblait ne pas avoir vu une serpillière depuis un moment. Pas de gel douche/shampoing seulement des savons de main offerts. Bref. A Eviter.

10/10

Es un riad bien situado ya que está lejos del bullicio y en una zona tranquila y bien comunicada. Caminando en pocos minutos se llega a la Plaza de Jamaa el Fna. El chico que lleva el Riad, Adil, es una ecxelente persona. Muy amable y sus consejos siempre oportunos especialmente acerca de los cuidados sobre timos de los que podemos ser víctima. Ya que a cada paso que se da por Marrakech intentan sacarte dinero de una forma u otra. Fué una buena experiencia y este Riad una muy buena elección.

6/10

Si quieres conocer la profundidad de Marrakech es el lugar perfecto para alojarte. Aunque está en plena Kasbah y medina, es totalmente silencioso. Recomendado para alojamientos de menos de 7 dias. Dispone de los servicios mínimos y con pocos lujos.

8/10

L'unico aspetto negativo è all'arrivo trovare la struttura. L'indirizzo spaventa anche i tassisti che applicano una maggiorazione per entrare nella Casbah. Per tutto il resto la gestione è familiare e attenta alle richieste dell'ospite.

6/10

personale molto gentile e tutto sommato un buon posto dove pernottare per qualche notte. Però bisogna superare l'impatto uiniziale con la cashba di Marrakech dove si trova questo Riad. Noi siamo arrivati verso le 22.30 e nessun taxista conosceva il posto. infatti il riad si trova in un anfratto di una via secondaria della cashba. Se non sai che si trova li non lo troverai mai e poi mai!!!! Inoltre si trova 15 minuti a piedi da Jamaa el Fna e per qualcuno potrebbe essere un difetto, ma a due minuti a piedi si trovano due spettacolare Hammam tra i quali Les Bains de l'Alambra, molto buono, e l'hammam Marrakech che è il migliore della città. Attenzione che in quest'ultimo ci sono almeno tre giorni di attesa per i trattamenti. tornando al riad Karim poi la colazione è molto buona e sufficientemente ricca per saltare il pranzo di mezzogiorno (almeno per me).

8/10

We had a very nice stay at the Riad. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. The Riad itself was modest, good rooms with bathrooms and a nice roofterasse. Nice breakfast, and they also served good dinner for us one night. If we go back to Marrakech, we certainly would stay there again.

8/10

Abbiamo soggiornato in questo Riad durante la nostra visita a Marrakech. Si trova nella Kasbah a circa 10 minuti di cammino dalla piazza principale. La zona è molto tranquilla, facilmente rintracciabile sulla mappa e molto caratteristica. Il personale del Riad è gentilissimo, verrete accolti con un ottimo the alla menta, tipico del luogo, e per ogni esigenza saranno a vostra disposizione. L'ambiente è molto familiare, come d'altronde vuole la filosofia di un Riad, ed è possibile mangiare degli ottimi piatti locali cucinati in maniera tradizionale dai ragazzi del Riad. Colazione buona a base di prodotti locali. Volendo è possibile prenotare escursioni, hammam, visite guidate e taxi direttamente dal Riad. Consigliatissimo!

Had a chance to stay a week in Riad Karim with my wife. We had a wonderful time together in the riad. The new manager is super friendly and very helpful. She's definitely more than a manager of the place. She helped us a lot - showed us around the city, told a bit of the history of the place, she helped when we had to talk to locals. And the rest of the staff is super friendly as well. Samra never stops laughing. Even thou we couldn't say a word in French we had a good time together. We strongly recommend this place to everyone!

Le Riad est vraiment au coeur de la Kasbah, et seulement à 10 minutes à pied de la place Djamaa El Fna. Très appréciable. Un long séjour nous à permis de vraiment apprécier le personnel du Riad. Très gentils et serviables ils vous conseils sur beaucoup de visites, excursions, et bons plans. Chambre typique très propre. La literie est un peu fatiguée. Très bon rapport qualité prix. On conseil.

Il riad è molto carino, confortevole e immerso in un oasi di calma e tranquillita. Il personale è affabile e gentilissimo. La colazione è compresa nel prezzo ed è buona rispetto agli standard italiani. La pulizia è buona. I lati negativi sono la distanza alla piazza Fna (circa un quarto d'ora a piedi# le stanze piccole e disadorne #non c'è neanche un tavolino su cui appoggiare la valigia) e la mancanza di privacy. Infatti le finestrelle della stanze si affacciano sul cortiletto interno del riad e quindi si sente ogni minimo rumore. Ma ovviamente questo dipende dall'educazione degli ospiti. Il mio giudizio è comunque positivissimo. Abbiamo usufruito dell'hammam convenzionato al riad: vicino e ottimo!!

4/10

Das Riad ist etwas heruntergekommen, nicht sehr sauber, und die Gegend ist zwar zentral in Marrakesch (Kasbah), aber man möchte nicht nachts allein heimkommen. Positiv ist die Herzlichkeit und Hilfsbereitschaft von Samara und ihrem Kollegen.

6/10

Ce Riad, situé au milieu de l'ancienne médina a été un peu compliqué à trouver par le chauffeur de taxi. Le décor et l'agencement sont très convenables et plutôt sympathiques. L'accueil et la disponibilité du personnel très appréciables. L' ombre au tableau : absence d'eau chaude dans la douche et le lavabo (très exigü), ce qui me parait une prestation impérative au regard du prix et du classement de l'établissement.

ce Riad est recommandable....!!si j'ai l'occasion j'y retourne...

Das Riad Karim ist ein kleines, feines Riad in der Medina von Marrakesch. Es besitzt lediglich 4 Zimmer und ist somit sehr familiär. Das Personal ist wirklich äußerst nett und hilft einem immer gerne. Die Zimmer sind eher einfach gehalten, haben aber alle ein eigenes sehr schönes marokkanisches Bad. Die Lage des Riads ist etwas speziell, was nicht negativ gemeint ist. Es liegt etwas versteckt in der Kasbah von Marrakesch, einem Stadtviertel in dem eher weniger Touristen wohnen. Mit Hilfe unseres Taxifahrers haben wir es aber sehr gut gefunden und wenn man einmal den Weg weiß, verläuft man sich auch nicht. Wer hier wohnt, kann jeden Tag auf dem Weg in die Stadt am "ursprünglichem" Leben teilhaben. Wir (Mutter und Tochter) haben die Lage genossen und uns auch stets sicher gefühlt. Allerdings würde ich nicht unbedingt als alleinreisende Frau dieses Riad wählen. Alles in allem hat uns das Riad und der Aufenthalt in Marrakesch sehr gefallen und wenn wir noch einmal hinfahren, werden wir uns auch wieder für das Riad Karim entscheiden! Es ist ein schöner Ort, um Marrakesch von einer anderen Seite, neben dem Tourismus und dem ganzen Trubel, kennenzulernen.

6/10

Ein Riad ist eine Wohneinheit bei der man dicht aufeinander wohnt. Die Fenster (das sind nur Fensterläden und keine dicht schliessenden Scheiben) gehen nicht nach Aussen, sondern nur in den Innenhof um den sich sämtliche Zimmer gruppieren. Das heisst dann aber auch, dass ALLE Geräusche aus den anderen Zimmern od. dem Innenhof zu hören sind. Dieser Riad hat Charme und sieht auch nett aus und ist typisch für Marrakesch. Er liegt etwas versteckt, aber wenn man den Weg kennt, ist er dann auch schnell zu erreichen in der Nähe der Kasbah-Moschee. Wir wurden sehr freundlich empfangen. Aber insgesamt waren wir doch recht enttäuscht: Die Riad-Eigene Beschreibung ist doch SEHR geschönt: Mehrsprachiges Personal: Fehlanzeige (es wird französisch gesprochen od. arabisch jedenfalls kein Englisch) Restaurant u. Wellness: gibt es definitiv nicht. kostenl. Toilettenartikel: ja, in den 8 Tagen 2 Stck. Seife. Willkommensgruss: ja, den gab es Verbal. Nur Nichtraucher: Ja, das mag ja sein - auf dem Zimmer war jedenfalls kein Aschenbecher, aber es nützt überhaupt nichts wenn die Betreiber und andere Gäste im Innenbereich qualmen wie die Schlote u. der Rauch dann in die Zimmer zieht (auch nachts), da die Fenster ja nicht wirklich schliessen. (sehr ärgerlich), rund um die Uhr besetzte Rezeption: nö, - Rezeption gibt es nicht u. oft sind die beiden Betreiber auch garnicht da od. schlafen auf einem der Sofas u. der genannte Tresor ist ein Miniteil, dass unter einem Tisch im Eingangsflur steht ...

10/10

I have visited Marrakech 3 times now and the experience has always been different. This time I can say it has been the best so far. Riad Karim is situated in the Medina. It takes 7 minutes to walk to the Djemaa El Fna square and the Souks. Khalid who runs the hotel was very informative and helpful. He even came to meet us when we were a little lost in getting back to the hotel. Always with a warm smile. Then there is Samara who is a delightful lady that cleans the hotel and makes breakfast every morning. The beds were comfortable and the roof terrace was intimate. If you think staying in the Medina might be noisey at night but it wasn't at all. Somehow, it was sound proof and very peaceful day and night. By the end of our trip Khalid and Samara became more like friends. We will definitely go back!

8/10

For what we paid, Riad Karim certainly met our expectations. The staff far exceeded expectations. The manager and cook/chamber maid were fantastic; very professional and incredibly welcoming. The neighbourhood can look a little 'dodgy' but we experienced no problems whatsoever during our stay and so I’m sure it isn’t at all ‘dodgy’. Indeed, the 'dodgy looking lads' that congregate near Riad Karim on several occasions wished us good morning/good night. Two things stand out as negatives: there are no windows in the bedrooms opening outwards (they open into the inner courtyard; and the beds aren't particularly comfortable. WE ARRANGED TO BE PICKED UP AT THE AIRPORT...DESPITE IT BEING MORE EXPENSIVE THAN A TAXI I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND DOING THIS AS FINDING RIAD KARIM FOR THE FIRST TIME WOULD BE NEAR IMPOSSIBLE WITHOUT STAFF HELP.

8/10

Very difficult to locate this Riad as it was in an area with lots of windy streets which didn't feel too safe - lots of locals approached us to give us directions/harassed for money etc. Walking at night felt particularly dangerous. However, the deco and interior was great, felt very traditional and not too far a walk from the centre. The service staff were excellent and really made a great effort to make everyone feel welcome and comfortable.

10/10

La porte s'ouvre.... Nous sommes accueillies par le sourire de nos hôtes "bienvenues, vous êtes ici chez vous !" En 5 minutes, on se retrouve dans le salon à boire le thé à la menthe, et c'est le début d'un merveilleux séjour... Riad irréprochable à tout niveaux, accueil, propreté, décoration, situation. Un vrai havre de paix dans cette médina si peuplée, si bruyante.... mais o' combien authentique et MAGIQUE !!!!! Un grand MERCI à nos hôtes pour cette leçon de courtoisie !
