Reviews for Riad Kniza

Best stay ever!!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 days ago

I rarely stay at such a nice place like the riad. The room was beautiful. The hotel it‘s self very nice, so were the amenities. The food was just awesome, healthy and authentic. But out of everything, the service was one of the best services i have experienced in any hotel so far. The staff is very nice, their English is very good and they almost treated us like family I can recommend anybody to visit the riad kniza if you plan on visiting marrakesh.

Perfect riad in a busy city

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 6 days ago

Everything about this riad was just right. The owner even took the time to tell my husband and I hello. Our room was more than enough and serviced multiple times a day. We sank into our bed--it was so comfortable. I loved that breakfast was served between a wide time frame ending at noon. With the city really coming to life later at night, the later start was welcomed. You can walk to many main attractions from this locations but because of its location outside of the medina it may take 10-20 minutes.

Riad Kniza was a brilliant place to stay in Marrakesh.

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 weeks ago

Riad Kniza was a delightful welcoming place to stay. Any question or request was kindly attended to. The building was a beautiful example of a riad with numerous pleasant spaces to relax and enjoy. The meals were excellent with polite, friendly service and accompanied in the evening with charming, subtle musicians. The highlight for me was visiting the owner's personal museum with a knowledgeable, articulate guided tour by his grandson. The location was very convenient for visiting both the Medina and the Gueliz tights. Altogether a wonderful experience!

A GEM IN MARRAKESH

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 weeks ago

What a delightful surprise! The service levels were amazing. The rooms were wonderful. And the rooftop terrace. WOW! The staff couldn’t lhave been nicer. I was greeted with mint tea and pastries before being shown to my room. On my final night, my friend and I shared a bottle of wine and a mezza plate on the rooftop for dinner. One of the best meals of our stay in Marrakesh. I HIGHLY recommend this Riad. It is an oasis of calm outside the chaos of the Marrakesh streets.

An absolute gem in the middle of the Medina.

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 weeks ago

A friend and I stayed at Riad Kniza for 3 nights in May 2025 and had the most amazing time there. The place is absolutely gorgeous, the bedrooms are large and very clean, and the restaurant offers a wonderful menu. But what made our stay an absolute delight was the staff: from Lamia and Abdoul at front desk (who took care of all of transfers and reservation), to Samir, and Sidi Mohammed (the owner) who was always available if we had any questions. We are already planning to go back and this time we will stay longer.

We visited Marrakesh in September and stayed at the Riad Kniza, a recently renovated boutique hotel in the Medina with gorgeous examples of Moroccan architecture. Our two-story suite was furnished with exquisite antiques and beautiful Moroccan rugs. The staff at this family-owned and run establishment was attentive and caring. Our stay was characterized by an attention to detail that made our first visit to Morocco a memorable one and assured a return visit.

The Medina of Marrakesh is possibly the most alive place I have ever been (New York is a quiet garden compared to it). But the Riad Kniza and the great family that regents it is a wonderful oasis of peace, kindness and Moroccan style luxury. Their vocation to service was incredible! Go there, enjoy the red city and relax. I will come back.

Riad Kniza is a truly beautiful place in a fascinating city. The wonderful, personal service is second to none. The best stay we've ever had in Marrakech, and we've been many times. Absolutely first class in every sense.
