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!

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.

We had a wonderful stay as afa ily at this lovely Riad in the old city. What was remarkably special were the amazing staff who went out of their way to ensure all our needs were met worhon and outside on our excursions. We had an issue one day with a booking i. Thr Agafay Desert that did not meet any of our expectations and when one of the staff (Bushra) came to know of this she immediately addressed this in a fullsome lovely way. They make you feel very much as if you are at home with your own family. The Riad dealite being i. The old city os very peaceful and relaxing and flexible accordi g to your wishes e.g. having breakfast in multiple possiblr venues at a time that suits you. All in all a teuly wonderful stay a d ivannot recommend this highly enough.

The stay was amazing. We arrived a little early and were lucky to have the room ready for us. The welcome tea was very refreshing. The room itself was beautiful decorated, very clean, spacious and very comfortable. We had dinner in the evening which ended up being a private dinner on the rooftop. The waiter was excellent and the food was outstanding. When we checked out, our bags were put in a cart and taken to the main street so we could get a taxi. If we're ever back in Marrakesh, we will definitely be looking to stay here again.

Outstanding experience at an exceptional house
Outstanding service at a Riad, the staff was very attentive to our needs and eager to serve. Food was also very appetizing and had more flavor than any of the restaurants we visited.
The Riad staff was also very open and eager for feedback for improvement t, suggesting a growth mindset.
