Riad Dar Karma is often described as a beautiful and tranquil oasis, located a short walk from Jemah al Fnah and the souks, just off Rue de la Kasbah. Guests consistently praise the spacious rooms, with particularly impressive bathrooms, and the lovely roof terrace offering views of the Atlas Mountains. The breakfast is tasty, with slight changes every day, although some guests have noted its limited variety. The Riad's central garden provides another highlight for relaxation.
