Location of Riad Karmela is great if you want to be in the heart of the old city - you can leave your hotel and you are right in the middle of everything you want to see and close to markets, shops, restaurants. The hotels strengths are the common areas which are beautiful and there are many area's to hang out and relax. Hotel sells wine which is uncommon and real plus since liquor is hard to find. Breakfast has plenty of choices but feels a little chaotic because it is in a very small area, kind of felt like dining in the middle of a walk way at the airport. People are very helpful and the restaurant is very good. Rooms are ok, bedding didn't have a fresh look but seemed kind of worn, lacked functionality also, not enough places for charging all of the things you need to keep charged when traveling
