Riad Kniza

Our family’s first time visiting Marrakech and, based on a recommendation, we opted to stay at the Riad Kniza. We’re so happy we did! From the moment of our arrival, to our departure seven nights later, we were made to feel so welcome and looked after. Beautifully restored and decorated, Riad Kniza is a true haven from the hustle and bustle of the medina. Our rooms were lovely, well appointed, and welcoming. The daily servicing of the rooms was very professional. Breakfast was lavish and a great start to every day we spent there. We really enjoyed the food and the atmosphere in the restaurant, so much so that we had dinner there two nights of our trip. The roof top terrace is a delightful place to hang out and, in our case, make the most of the early February sun. Riad Kniza is perfectly located and you can easily walk to Jemaa el-Fnaa and the souks in 15 to 20 minutes and also in a similar time to the trendy Gueliz neighbourhood Riads are designed to come into their own during the summer heat when the courtyards, water features, thick walls, and porticoes provide a welcome cooling oasis. Conversely then can be cold in the winter months. That might be an issue for some visitors if travelling in the winter months. I end this by saying again that the staff at the Riad Kniza are exceptional. The owner, Mr Mohamed and his team are exceptionally friendly, welcoming, and professional. They will happily make reservations for dinner, book tours and transport, and generally make you feel special. Thank you!

Lovely Riad in traditional style but not suitable for us . Too many stairs , no lift and so cold! Staff lovely . Rooms lovely but bathrooms although large and beautiful are very dangerous due to the marble floors . I had a terrible fall when the bath mat slipped after getting out of the shower . Cut and bruised my elbow , hip .shoulder a neck . Ruined our stay . Food in Riad ok but not much selection for dinner . Breakfast fine but room was freezing! May I suggest , , full length mirror in bathroom . Non slip mats for the shower . Coffee maker in room . Feather pillows ! Also I n website mention that there are a lot of stairs up to the bedroom !

Amazing to come back for our 3rd stay. Beautiful Riad, immaculately decorated and lovely staff who go above and beyond! The full vegetation menu is amazing full of really fresh ingredients. The breakfast is lovely presented and can be served on the beautiful terrace in the sun!

We enjoyed the warmest welcome and accommodations. The Riad is tastefully beautiful - with layers of mosaics, plaster work, and intricate wood carvings complementing the water features of the open courtyards and receiving rooms. Staff refreshed our rooms each time we ventured out. Breakfast in our room made for a low stress way to cap our final day in Morocco.

We stayed at Riad Kniza for four nights in January 2025. It made for the perfect respite amidst the frenetic energy of the medina. The riad is beautiful throughout. Our room was large and well appointed. We appreciated the nightly turndown service, warm and accommodating staff, and fabulous breakfast every morning. We had dinner in the restaurant one evening and the food was delicious and the service, like always, impeccable. Riad Kniza made for the perfect introduction to Marrakech.
