Lock in a great price for Riad Kniza - rated 9.5 by recent guests.

to get started.

Beautiful Riad. Home from home. The restoration of the riad is beautifully done. The staff are amazing and nothing was too much. The restaurant services beautiful local food for dinner which was excellent.

Surinder, United Kingdom

We had a lovely stay at Riad Kniza. It is conveniently located near the Bab Doukkala gate - a little further from the center of the Medina, but still very close to most sites. We appreciated that they offer hamman and massages (among other treatments) at the Riad, that was a nice bonus. Overall it was a great stay, the staff were attentive and responsive, and we enjoyed our time!

Erin, Germany

Very beautiful riad, professional and very kind staff. We spent only one night here, but we had everything we needed. Good location for discovering medina.

Anna, Hungary

The staff was amazing. We had to change our reservation dates and they were extremely flexible. Thank you so much for your welcoming and excellent service!

Sofiapardo, Mexico

Outstanding service and the riad was beyond expectations

Siva, United Kingdom

Situated in a busy local market but when you enter the Riad all changes. Peaceful, calm and serene. Birds flying and twittering amongst the greenery. Unobtrusive staff always at hand. A feeling that you are almost the only quests. A must.

Margaret, United Kingdom

Cleaning staffs are beyond excellent!! Room is super clean and tidy!!

Kenny, Hong Kong

The location was cool. The owner also had a museum across the alley way. The decor was exceptional. The room was clean. Most of the staff were great.

Rashim, Canada

Stunning property with the most amazing staff. Feels like home away from home,with feel for the culture so much more than a hotel.

Dale, New Zealand

Beautiful Riad - an oasis of calm and relaxation in the midst of the medina. The decor and aesthetic throughout the riad was traditional, but also luxurious and tasteful. Very helpful and friendly staff, always making an effort to help with restaurant bookings, or anything else.

Staffs' service and breakfast served at the rooftop were wonderful. Amazingly there were no flies. Also dinner was wonderful. The owner is always watching the services. He was also kind enough to have us visited his private museum next door...it was worth.

The room had no fridge. The location: the hotel is located near one of the gates of the medina, Bab Doukkala. Unfortunately this is not one of the unattractive areas of the medina, a bit unclean and has a small “locals” market, with many butchers and local food stalls and little to no tourists. The area CAN feel a bit unsafe, although honestly we had no problems during our 4-nights stay. It’s also a bit far from Marrakech’s main attraction, Jemaa el fanaa. It’s a good 20-25 minutes walk away. This wasn’t a problem on our way there, since after a stretch of 600-700 m of “locals market”, tourist shops begin to appear. However the walk back is a bit too much, especially at night when most of the shops alomg the way are closed. After the 1st night, we used to take a toktok back from Jemaa el Fanaa for 30 MAD. That was a reasonable solution.
The staff: extremely nice, very helpful. We were welcomed by the owner himself who gave us a tour of the facilities. The staff arranged our transfers to and from the airport with ease. They also arranged a visit to their gallery, which has a small berber museum and very high quality artisanal products. The housekeeping were perfect, with daily turndown service. We were truely treated as royalty. They also gave us an android smart phone with working internet, a phone line and google maps. That was a nice touch and very useful. We had a lot of luggage, and a big problem in the medina in marrakech is that you have to carry your luggage through its winding streets as cars can not access those streets. I emailed them and we had someone waiting for us with a hand-pulled cart that accomodated all our luggage and the walk to the hotel was quite easy! The room: superb! It was spacious, meticulously clean and very luxurious. And although the area around the hotel is busy, the room was quiet. The breakfast: quite good with enough variety and the food tasted great.
