10/10 Exceptional

My wife had to point it out, but the idea of the Riad is to enjoy life the way that the owners had in the past. Its remarkable to go from the crazy business of the medina to the oasis of the Riad. The rooms were luxurious and the entire Riad was so calm and quiet. The breakfasts were incredible. Really enjoyed my stay

Absolute gem right in the hustle and bustle of the old town. Staff are so friendly and are your guide to the city. Could not recommend this place enough

8/10 Very good

Lovely Riad! Very luxurious, staff very attentive, and just gorgeously decorated. Some very thoughtful touches, and very helpful in organizing things around the city. Breakfast on the roof was lovely, which you can do before the day gets too hot. Some nights had a live musician in the courtyard which was cool. Only thing to be wary of is a few charges adding up - there are no irons or steamers in the building so only option is to pay to send things out for ironing, and they have a sauna but it's US$17 to turn on.

A little piece of paradise

An incredible oasis of peace inside the hectic medina. After visiting this Riad, with its beautiful architecture and classy furniture, a visit to the palaces of the city (even the Madrasa) will look to be wasted time: you'll just want to stay into the Riad, relax and ejoy. Super recommended!

Perfect Hidden Gem an absolute must visit

Where to begin. The Riad Kniza is a hidden gem that is an absolute must if you are coming to Marrakesh. In the old town lots of thimgs to vosit only a walk away. We were welcomed by Fatina who was so friendly and helpful, our room was huge, spotlessly clean and a little bit of heaven. We had breakfast on the roof terrace every morning and all of the staff were so helpful and friendly. Cant recommend this Riad enough, i just wish we had time to stay longer.
Leonie, 4-night trip

Cute and stunning Riad, well hidden in the maze-like streets of the Medina. So arrange a pick up from the taxi stand to the Riad, you are not likely to find it by yourself as a first time visitor... ;-)

5 Stars

My recent stay at Riad Kniza was absolutely delightful! From the moment we arrived, the staff impressed us with their easy-going nature and eagerness to assist. They efficiently arranged our airport transfers, making our arrival and departure stress free. The breakfasts were a highlight - generous and delicious, with the added luxury of choosing to dine in our room, on the rooftop, or in the restaurant. Our room was spacious and meticulously cleaned twice a day, with fresh fruit and water replenished daily. We also thoroughly enjoyed the Hammam experience organised right in the Riad. Overall, Riad Kniza exceeded our expectations. We would highly recommend it!

Fantástico Riad! Lo recomiendo ampliamente, es bellísimo, lleno de obras de arte, muy buena pinacoteca, una biblioteca muy amplia sobre Marruecos y el Islam. Los propietarios son unos artistas! El personal amabilísimo! Las habitaciones preciosas, todo muy cuidado y de calidad premium! El desayuno delicioso y lo sirven en la terraza, en la habitación o en uno de sus hermosos salones. El hamann increíble! Gran Riad!

Riad so beautiful

Everything was exquisite. Only thing is the Moroccan diet is bread heavy so if you are gluten intolerant - inform hotel ahead of time for arrangements. That’s just the general cuisine, as for the hotel, everything was superb. Breakfast in the roof is more than perfect and it ends at noon. A plus.

Fantastiskt!

Fantastiskt hotell. Bra läge mitt i medinan men lugnt och rofyllt. Superbra service. Hjälpte till med restaurangbokningar, strykning och fixade frukostpåse till supertidig hemresa. Bra wifi i rummet (men ej uppe på takterrassen). Rummet fixades flera gånger om dagen. Kan inte klaga på något!

Riad Kniza is a jewel in the Medina in Marrakesh. The architecture of the Riad is stunning, the accommodations are luxurious, and the service is exceptional. We enjoyed breakfast and dinner at Riad Kniza and the meals were delicious.

This riad is a little perfect gem, an oasis of peace amidst the mad hustle and bustle of the medina. Stunning interiors, attentive and friendly service, gorgeous, oversized room and bathroom, with the most comfortable bed and pillows! Upon our arrival, we were greeted with mint tea and the best cookies we’ve ever had! A fruit platter was waiting for us in the room. A very nice breakfast was included in the price, served on the beautiful rooftop. The location was superb - with the main sites all within a 20 minute or less walk of the riad. I can’t recommend this place enough!!! It gets two thumbs up from me!

Paraíso

Brutal. Una vez llegamos con el taxi a la Bab Doukkala y nos adentramos en la medina, con el ajetreo de los puestos de comida en la calle, souvenirs, motos… entramos en el paraíso del Riad Kniza. Suelo viajar por trabajo en hotel de 5 estrellas y debo decir que ha sido el mejor alojamiento donde he estado en mi vida. Sin duda, volvería al mismo lugar.

Beautiful & traditional. The hidden Oasis

A beautiful traditional location to stay. Immersed in the heart of Marrakesh with all the sights and shopping. Although being a tranquil oasis away from the hustle of the lively streets. You can swim in the pool or rest in the sun on the roof and not feel like you are a stones throw away from the busy heart of Marrakesh. The staff are super friendly and helpful.

Riad Kniza - inside the Media, Marrakech

My wife & I stayed in a beautiful Riad in the Medina called Riad Kniza. The rooms were ornate & spacious. It was close to all sites & amenities. The staff were accommodating & pleasant until the end. The Riad had a lovely courtyard full of green plants & trees and charming common areas with tables, chairs and sofas where you could relax or read a book. They even had a magnificent roof terrace furnished with plants and cozy cabanas. On our final morning we arranged a taxi to the Airport (RAK) as we had a 7am flight to Paris. Shortly before we left, a man (who I believed was either hotel staff or a taxi driver in contract with the hotel) brought us cappuccinos & Moroccan pastries. We believed it was so thoughtful. He took our room key & grabbed our suitcases. Once we were finished he returned to escort us out. As he was walking in front of us pulling our bags towards the awaiting taxi, that’s when my wife & I noticed the back of his graphic T-Shirt. It had big bold colorful letters in English that read “F*** You All”. My wife & I looked at each other shocked & puzzled. Was this intended as a deliberately offensive message towards tourists from the U.S., UK or Canada? Because it wasn’t in French or Arabic & it definitely wasn’t subtle. Sadly, it left a sour taste in our wonderful memory as we interpreted its meaning & implication as: we may need or want your money, but don’t come back again. I wonder if anyone else has had similar experiences at this Riad or others?

Très beau riad, la décoration est superbe, tout est impeccable, très propre. La terrasse sur le toit est très agréable (on peut y prendre tous ses repas).Très bon accueil avec des délicieuses pâtisseries qui nous ont été offertes à l’arrivée. Tour le monde est très gentil.L’emplacement était idéal pour nous: nous avons pu garer notre voiture tout à côté puis tout faire ensuite à pied: Jardin Secret, souk, place Jemaa El Fna. Je recommande vivement
