Words can hardly express how beautiful this Riad is! There is the older part which is stunning in Traditional Moroccan art and decor and we stayed in the smaller, more modern Riad just opposite. It too is beautifully designed and decorated - perfect for a small group of friends. Lovely pool area on the roof. Wonderful staff. What a find!

An unforgettable experience from start to finish. The staff at Riad Kniza are, without question, some of the most friendly and professional people I have ever met, warm, attentive, and genuinely lovely in every respect. The riad itself is exceptional, with exquisite attention to detail and immaculate upkeep that makes the whole place feel truly special. My partner enjoyed both the spa and hammam, and each treatment was outstanding, deeply relaxing, authentic, and delivered with real care. The food was simply stunning. We tried various restaurants during our stay, but none matched the quality of the meals in the riad: beautifully prepared, full of flavour, and served by staff who were just lovely. Riad Kniza offers Moroccan hospitality at its absolute finest. I rarely return to the same place as I enjoy trying different venues, but we’ve already booked to come back next March when the weather is cooler, we visited from September 3rd for a week, and Marrakech was extremely hot at that time.A final highlight was a private tour of the owner Mohammad’s exhibition of Moroccan artifacts. His passion for Morocco and Islam shone through as he explained each piece, and it became one of the most memorable moments of our trip. I cannot recommend Riad Kniza highly enough, really looking forward to going back.

Riad Kniza is one of the most beautiful luxury boutique hotels we’ve ever stayed at. The bellhop greeted us at the entrance to the Medina and wheel barreled our luggage a short distance to Riad Kniza. We were greeted by the owner & his grandson, who welcomed us with a mint Moroccan tea ceremony and almond cookies. We received a tour of the property and then presented us to our gorgeous suite. A full breakfast was offered on rooftop or in a few of their lavish rooms. Dinner & lunch were also available upon request all day. Excellent location, friendly & accommodating staff, delicious food, gorgeous courtyard, with lush plant scape and fountains. The perfect place to escape the hustle & bustle of the Medina to enjoy a glass of wine or tea. A pristine property. Would love to return just to stay there.

Serenity from the moment we arrived. A beautiful quiet riad, super friendly and helpful staff, comfortable room and bed, great location to easily get into the centre of the medina. Great breakfast. Could not ask for more. 10/10 would recommend. Thanks to the team for making our stay amazing.

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.
