Riad Kniza

Khadija Khalid

The best place to stay in Marrakech! The staff is so lovely and attentive. The Riad is beautiful. Breakfast was good. Room was cleaned regularly. Even the hotel owner came to greet the guests by the end of the stay. Only thing they could add as a bonus would be to hand out wet towels for hands at arrival along with the lovely mint tea and biscuits 😊

Our tour company booked this Riad for our 3 night stay in Marrakech and I’m so glad they did. Ever since we first walked through the door, the staff treated my father and I with the utmost attention and care. The courtyards, sitting areas, and rooftop were always available to relax in. The room was kept in pristine condition and it seemed that every time we left the room someone was in there to tidy up. Would recommend anyone that visits Marrakech to stay here. It’s in the heart of the Medina so access to the charm of Marrakech is footsteps away. Thank you to the staff that treated us so great and made our trip to Marrakech worth it.

My husband surprised me to a trip to Marrakech for my 40th birthday. This was our second time visiting (the first was our honeymoon), and he chose Riad Kniza for our stay. I cannot say enough about Kniza, and the wonderful staff. Everyone was so kind and accommodating, at literally any time of day or night there was always someone there to help and meet our needs. The Riad itself is pretty large, and full of history and culture. It's so nice coming "home" after a long day to such a beautiful, peaceful, luxurious, calm place. It's like an oasis amidst the exciting chaos of the city. Our suite was 2 stories, a half bathroom and sitting room downstairs, and a full bathroom and the bedroom upstairs. There is plenty of storage throughout. Every time we headed out for a few hours, the room was refreshed (towel replaced, room reset) which I loved. They do not have irons for the guests to use, but to my surprise housekeeping will collect your clothes and iron them for you (be sure to tip!). The manager was also wonderful, and a pleasure to deal with. 10/10!

A fabulous hotel located within the Marrakech Medina. Very quiet and relaxing with superlative customer service. The rooftop has several cabanas and is perfect for breakfast or for relaxing in the evening. Truly a memorable property.

We stayed at Riad Kniza for two nights at the end of a tour through Morocco. The Riad itself is beautiful and truly provides a tranquil and cool reprieve from the bustle and chaos of Marrakesh. The inner compound is an oasis and very well maintained. The staff were friendly, polite and impressed us with their language skills. Breakfast was limited in choice but we were served quality over quantity and enjoyed the provided selection. Our room was spacious and comfortable and we enjoyed the thoughtful touch of fresh fruit daily in our room by the cleaning staff. We stayed in room 1 and despite it being beautifully appointed it was very dark even with the lights on and windows open; I imagine this is part of the original design to keep it cool. It did feel like it was evening all the time in the room. Our room was located close to the front reception so we could hear when the phone rang and when any guests came in our left as they would walk close to our room door which isn't sealed and could hear lots of conversation from inside our room. There were times where it was hard to find staff (ie in the restaurant and no one waiting for us despite giving the required notice) and when we sat by the pool for about 45mins we couldn't find anyone walking past to ask for any service ie tea/snacks. It would probably be better to notify reception if you need anything. The location immediately outside the entrance of the hotel is good but it's not very close to major attractions and amenities by foot (unless you're happy to walk about 20-30 minutes in the heat). We also didn't have a good experience with the airport transfer. We felt cheated by the driving service prices charged and ended up being assisted to use a local taxi which was fine. They really should develop a relationship with a more competitive driving service for airport transfers. It would be a nice touch to make your guests feel looked after and cared for. Overall I would recommend this place if you're looking for an oasis from the chaos and are happy to stay within the riad and out of your room and taxi to sights and restaurants of interest but ask for a different room to where we stayed!
