Reviews for Riad Kniza
A perfect Riad in every sense.
Perfect Riad in every sense. Do not stay in an hotel when you can have a real Moroccan experience. The hotel is a gorgeous design riad with roof top terraces, several rooms to dine in and beautiful antiques displayed everywhere. The staff is too notch and will help you with reservations, drivers and guides. The owner and his family has been here for generations.

Sumptuous
An enchanting stay. Riad Kniza was so beautiful, comfortable, and perfectly curated that we hardly wanted to leave. Impeccable service, delicious food, sumptuous surroundings to explore. The 18th century building is thoughtfully and impeccably renovated.

PERFECT IN ALL RESPECTS
The service and facilities at Ryad Kniza were exemplary. The staff were uniformly helpful and cheerful and all requests were promptly met. The rooms are large and comfortable and there are many seating areas open to guests including a large roof terrace where breakfast can be served as an alternative to either your room or dining room. Breakfast is plentiful and includes omelette and a variety of crepes, cake and bread although it is largely unchanged on a daily basis. It is located in a vibrant part of the Medina with access to many local eateries, We had a tour of the museum established by the owner who we were also privileged to meet, and it was a fascinating experience and highly recommended.

Beautiful Riad
We had a lovely stay at Riad Kniza. It is a calm oasis within the busy medina of Marrakech and we had a wonderful stay there. Every member of staff was very friendly and all offered perfect service for everything that we needed. Breakfast was very good and we ate in the restaurant on two evenings where we enjoyed delicious meals.

The heart and soul of Morocco…
Two friends and I in our 70s recently spent a week in the exotic, chaotic city of Marrakesh. It was my fourth visit and this time I selected this 17th century Riad because of its excellent location in the Medina and its reputation as a bastion of comfort and culture. Our experience succeeded expectations in every way! The concierge provided us with professional and knowledgeable guides, an excellent driver, and the perfect itinerary. The room was spacious and the food marvelous. The entire staff—bellmen, waiters, housekeepers, and the charming and elegant owner, Mohammed, embraced us as family rather than simply treating us as guests. It was this effort that truly made our experience unforgettable…

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.
