Beautiful & traditional. The hidden Oasis

A beautiful traditional location to stay. Immersed in the heart of Marrakesh with all the sights and shopping. Although being a tranquil oasis away from the hustle of the lively streets. You can swim in the pool or rest in the sun on the roof and not feel like you are a stones throw away from the busy heart of Marrakesh. The staff are super friendly and helpful.

Riad Kniza - inside the Media, Marrakech

My wife & I stayed in a beautiful Riad in the Medina called Riad Kniza. The rooms were ornate & spacious. It was close to all sites & amenities. The staff were accommodating & pleasant until the end. The Riad had a lovely courtyard full of green plants & trees and charming common areas with tables, chairs and sofas where you could relax or read a book. They even had a magnificent roof terrace furnished with plants and cozy cabanas. On our final morning we arranged a taxi to the Airport (RAK) as we had a 7am flight to Paris. Shortly before we left, a man (who I believed was either hotel staff or a taxi driver in contract with the hotel) brought us cappuccinos & Moroccan pastries. We believed it was so thoughtful. He took our room key & grabbed our suitcases. Once we were finished he returned to escort us out. As he was walking in front of us pulling our bags towards the awaiting taxi, that’s when my wife & I noticed the back of his graphic T-Shirt. It had big bold colorful letters in English that read “F*** You All”. My wife & I looked at each other shocked & puzzled. Was this intended as a deliberately offensive message towards tourists from the U.S., UK or Canada? Because it wasn’t in French or Arabic & it definitely wasn’t subtle. Sadly, it left a sour taste in our wonderful memory as we interpreted its meaning & implication as: we may need or want your money, but don’t come back again. I wonder if anyone else has had similar experiences at this Riad or others?

Lovely Riad! Very luxurious, staff very attentive, and just gorgeously decorated. Some very thoughtful touches, and very helpful in organizing things around the city. Breakfast on the roof was lovely, which you can do before the day gets too hot. Some nights had a live musician in the courtyard which was cool. Only thing to be wary of is a few charges adding up - there are no irons or steamers in the building so only option is to pay to send things out for ironing, and they have a sauna but it's US$17 to turn on.

Absolute luxury. An oasis in the medina hustle-bustle. We were catered to by very attentive staff. Our every need was met immediately. The facilities are beautiful and comfortable. Breakfast on the roof was included and sumptuous. We also had a typical Moroccan dinner twice there. It was a wonderful experience for us.

Great Experience

The Riad itself was beautiful and the staff were incredible. They were attentive , polite, helpful and always willing to lend a hand so that your stay and Morocco experience were amazing. The location was quite good as well . About 100 meters from Bab Dhoukala which is the main entrance to the area and where your tax would drop u off . The staff will meet u at the drop off for your bags . They arranged daily excursions which were wonderful. It is a family run business with all of the perks . Only very minor issue was water pressure and hot water were sporadically not up to snuff. Otherwise I would highly recommend the Riad Kniza for your Marakesh stay .

The riad was wonderful. If you are traveling with a friend or want separate beds make sure you clarify with the riad first. Our room had one double bed. They separated them but they were essentially one bed. They kindly made up one of the couches downstairs in the room so it worked out ok.
