Besutiful Riad. Had dinner there. Straters and desert was good. My main, lamp tajine was a bit chewy and not hot enough when received.

Our stay at Riad Kniza was truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, we felt like honored guests in a beautiful Moroccan home rather than just visitors at a hotel. The riad itself is stunning, with traditional architecture, elegant courtyards, and a calm atmosphere that makes you forget the busy medina outside. Our room was spacious, comfortable, and full of authentic charm. Breakfast on the terrace was a highlight each morning — fresh, generous, and served with a smile. We also had dinner one evening at the riad, and it was one of the best meals we had in Marrakech. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay special, helping us with tips for the city and always checking in to see if we needed anything. If you want an authentic Moroccan experience with five-star comfort and hospitality, Riad Kniza is perfect.

Wow wow wow. You must stay here. It is just beautiful and so quiet and peaceful after the craziness of Marrakech. The staff are so welcoming and make you feel like home. The rooms are so luxurious. You will love the morning breakfast on the rooftop. The most special part of our holiday with lots of spoiling.

I stayed 3 nights in this exquisite Riad which was booked by Atlas Desert Tours. The owner and staff went above and beyond to meet all of my needs. They offer meals delivered to your room, on the beautiful rooftop garden, or in their restaurant. All the meals were delicious and elegantly presented. I enjoyed the lovely pool which was very refreshing, as well as the Hammam and massage service offered. I also had a guided tour of the Berber Museum they have next door. Very informative and enlightening.

Stunning Riad with exceptional staff and service - very attentive and discreet. Room was beautiful and we enjoyed the spa treatment. Nothing is too much for the hotel staff to make your stay exceptional.

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.
