The stay was amazing. We arrived a little early and were lucky to have the room ready for us. The welcome tea was very refreshing. The room itself was beautiful decorated, very clean, spacious and very comfortable. We had dinner in the evening which ended up being a private dinner on the rooftop. The waiter was excellent and the food was outstanding. When we checked out, our bags were put in a cart and taken to the main street so we could get a taxi. If we're ever back in Marrakesh, we will definitely be looking to stay here again.

Stop looking for another Riad and just book Riad Kniza! The Riad is spectacular! From the moment we got there they treated us like family! They met every question and request with a smile and did everything they could do to make our stay as great as possible. The rooms were clean, spacious, and beautiful. They would bring us our delicious complimentary breakfast to the room every morning at the time of our choosing. Mohamed, the owner, is so sweet and even took us on a FANTASTIC tour of the city. Definitely one of the best hotel stays we have experienced!

Riad Kniza is absolutely stunning. Located in the Medina and walking distance from all the major sites and souks. When we arrived we were blown away but how amazing the property is. It offers various different relaxing areas, lounges, a roof terrace, a pool etc. The staff were really attentive. The manager gave us a tour on arrival and then we settled in on the huge roof terrace which has shaded areas, loungers and toilets. There was a phone on the roof to call for tea, wine and snacks. Whatever you wanted. The hotel accommodated everything. You can also order your breakfast to any part of the Riad. We had it in our room, by the pool and on the roof terrace. Different locations each day. The room we stayed in was lovely. The size and decor was perfect. We arrived to rose petal displays and fresh fruit each day. Everything was perfect. We’ve stayed in amazing luxury hotels all over the world and have to say Riad Kniza is right up there with some of the best. Such an amazing place!

We had an amazing time. The Riad is absolutely gorgeous and the staff is nice and attentive. I was there with my boyfriend and they spoiled us with so much attention. They even let us leave the luggage 1 day after checkout for us to around the souk. Amazing breakfast, experience 10/10

This was a serendipitous find! Such a lovely Riad and excellent on all fronts. Every single member of the staff was absolutely delightful and could not have been more welcoming or helpful. There's a real family feel to this lovely place and the rooms, food, spa and other facilities are 5 star. Would definitely return.

This is not just a Riad in Marrakech, Riad Kniza is an experience not to be missed, the personal service, attention to detail, decor and furnishings, it’s service that’s so often out of reach for so many travellers, it’s hard to believe when your inside the Risd that your in the heart of a vibrant and lively Medina, we also loved the rooftop restaurant opposite which is also an art gallery, highly recommended

Although the rooms are impressive, this accommodation is far from a five star hotel. Is simply located in a dirty busy area of the medina and doesn’t have the space needed in the general areas in order to be half confortable. Doesn’t have a lift and is full of stairs and corridors. The rooms are dark, don’t have a terrace, the hot water takes ages to warm up, the tv needs a guide in order to work😂 although there is the roof terrace…the staff are nice and welcoming… they are also very tight with their charges…definitely overpriced for what you get in return…I wouldn’t be coming back to that Riad…I would come back to Marrakesh though…

Stay here!
We stayed for two nights and no complaints whatsoever. Beautiful rooms and facilities. Really great value for what you get, reasonably priced spa treatments. No request was too much for the staff and they even gave us some great recommendations regarding the souks. Dinner on the roof was also amazing. Like a quiet oasis in the middle of the median which we always enjoyed coming back to. Overall probably the best hotel stay we’ve had anywhere.

Fabulous 5 Star Riad in Marrakech
Our experience at Riad Kniza was fabulous. The service we received was outstanding in every way as were the accommodations. We couldn't have enjoyed our stay more. We were very impressed by how beautiful the Riad was - VERY luxury and comfortable. The included breakfasts (which we enjoyed on the rooftop) were first class. So much food with fresh squeezed orange juice and delicious coffee and tea. Our room was spacious and very comfortable as well. I think this was one of the cleanest places we have ever stayed. We observed staff cleaning floors, walls, etc. daily. It was immaculate! Would highly, highly recommend to any traveler. When we come back to Marrakech, this is where we would stay again.

The Riad is stunning to say the least. In the middle of the busy local souks, this piece of Moroccan heaven exists. The building is stunning and the rooms are spacious and beautiful. The place is very peaceful and the service is beyond excellent the hospitality we got from the beginning is faultless. I would highly recommend this Riad.

In troubled times at the outset of the dreaded Covit 19 we were given the warmest welcome, a sanctuary when everything was uncertain. We had never felt so looked after, safe. They could have turned us away but instead they treated us as family. With the warmest memories we thank them all and wish them every good thing. With thanks from my husband Kym and I.
