Beautiful property with fantastic and very friendly staff. Everyone was helpful, really friendly and happy to help. The property is a piece of art, very clean, spacious rooms and a rooftop that is an oasis of tranquility. We would return any time. We also felt safe walking from and to the property at night. However, the alley is highly frequented by mopeds and has a lot of places that barbecue on charcoal, particularly at night which leads to smoke and smells. That part of the Medina is still fairly authentic, so prepare yourself for some frenzy. Just a minor side note: If you like to sleep in, you might want to consider earplugs because the sound travels through some sections of the property and the early morning cleaning could wake you up.

5 Stars

My recent stay at Riad Kniza was absolutely delightful! From the moment we arrived, the staff impressed us with their easy-going nature and eagerness to assist. They efficiently arranged our airport transfers, making our arrival and departure stress free. The breakfasts were a highlight - generous and delicious, with the added luxury of choosing to dine in our room, on the rooftop, or in the restaurant. Our room was spacious and meticulously cleaned twice a day, with fresh fruit and water replenished daily. We also thoroughly enjoyed the Hammam experience organised right in the Riad. Overall, Riad Kniza exceeded our expectations. We would highly recommend it!

Romantic getaway in the Medina

My second time back at Riad Kniza, and it was absolutely incredible. This hotel has the highest quality of service and they really do take such good care of their guests. I love how small it is and how much attention we received in terms of timely answers for our requests, room service twice a day, and beautiful breakfast every morning. It’s such a treat and will have us coming back to Marrakech to visit this riad for years to come. I’ll be dreaming of Riad Kniza!

My wife had to point it out, but the idea of the Riad is to enjoy life the way that the owners had in the past. Its remarkable to go from the crazy business of the medina to the oasis of the Riad. The rooms were luxurious and the entire Riad was so calm and quiet. The breakfasts were incredible. Really enjoyed my stay

Perfect Hidden Gem an absolute must visit

Where to begin. The Riad Kniza is a hidden gem that is an absolute must if you are coming to Marrakesh. In the old town lots of thimgs to vosit only a walk away. We were welcomed by Fatina who was so friendly and helpful, our room was huge, spotlessly clean and a little bit of heaven. We had breakfast on the roof terrace every morning and all of the staff were so helpful and friendly. Cant recommend this Riad enough, i just wish we had time to stay longer.

Weekend in Marrakech

We had a lovely weekend at the Riad Kniza. The staff were very friendly and helpful, particularly the lady that was there on our arrival. She helped us with some suggestions for restaurants for the evening and how we could organise our days to see everything we wanted to. The Riad was very clean with staff frequently seen keeping it so. There are lots of different places to relax inside or out with our favourite being the roof terrace where we also had a fabulous breakfast in the morning just after the sunrise. Location was perfect. Within the Medina but towards the edge so not as noisy. Easy walking distance to all the sites and the staff arranged a taxi for us to and from the hotel to make things easier. Overall a very enjoyable stay and would highly recommend it.

Royalty Stay in Marrakech

This was, without a doubt, one of the most exceptional hotel/Riad experiences we've ever had. The customer service was impeccable, standing out even more when compared to other Moroccan riads. The accommodations were truly fit for royalty—spotlessly clean, spacious, and equipped with air conditioning in every room. Breakfasts were abundant and delicious. The location is ideal, situated just inside the Medina and close to the gate. The front desk staff were exceptionally attentive, going above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. When I needed a dress pressed, it was returned in under 20 minutes. Cold beers were delivered to our room within 10 minutes of our return—a welcome refreshment in the August heat—and fresh fruit awaited us in our room. I could go on, but simply put, you won’t find a better place to stay. Bonus: The owner has his own art gallery just across from the Riad. He graciously opened it for us and gave us a private tour. It was, without exaggeration, the finest collection of Moroccan cultural art we encountered during our entire trip, including our visits to Casablanca, Fez, and Marrakech. Stop searching—you’ve found the place to stay.
