Riad Kniza had the most remarkable warm and helpful staff, from the moment we arrived they ensured we had the most magical stay

Ayden Australia

Beautiful place, perfect services and family atmosphere. Great dinners and breakfast.

Guido Italy

amazing pool and roof terrace. rooms were large and beautiful. great service. towels changed twice a day and room cleaned.

Alexandra United Kingdom

My partner and I were amazed at the excellent service provided from the staff, from checking in to checking out. Always suggested sitting and having a tea.

Dalvir United Kingdom

very friendly staff, perfect location. convenient transport

Yinan United Kingdom

The staff here really went above and beyond to make sure our stay was comfortable! Ali was absolutely great & resolved any issues we had, a true asset to your team!

Varda United Kingdom

The location of Riad Kniza is prefect as you are at the beginning of the Medina but also walking acess to the new town Gueliz. We had a lovely room with a separate lounge and separate bedroom with an amazing dome over the bed. Breakfast was something we looked forward to each day as the local selection of food was beautifully presented, either on the top terrace, or in your room. Everybody working at Riad Kniza were so nice and friendlly and that made it an extra special stay. We highly recommend Riad Kniza for your trip to Marrakech.

Patrik United Kingdom

tranquil and palatial! The staff were wonderful and very accommodating. The food was divine … so much of it too 😋

Tamara United Kingdom

The staff were exceptional and made you feel right at home. The Riad itself was spotless and was stunning. The rooms were very large, as were the beds, and the breakfasts were brilliant. The roof terrace is well maintained and offers excellent views of the Atlas Mountains. The Riad is a short walk away from the souks and a couple of the museums, and taxis are easy to get from within a minutes walk of the front door. The perfect place for a long weekend in Marrakech - would definitely recommend it despite it being on the expensive end of the spectrum for the location.

Joseph United Kingdom

Everything about this stay was amazing. From the moment you walk in the door you are treated like family. The staff are all exceptionally friendly and nothing is too much to ask for. The ladies that cleaned the room go above and beyond to make the space clean and tidy, even folding our clothes and putting them neatly in the wardrobe. Breakfast each morning is superb with so many choices, and beautifully laid out in front of you. Dinner in the restaurant is stunning! The decoration alone amazing but the food that matches it is delicious. Great selection of drinks and food. The pool is deep, and clean and tucked away nicely for privacy. I cannot recommend this Riad highly enough- you will not be disappointed!
