This was an amazing stay. The staff were so hospitable and friendly and went above and beyond to look after me especially as I was staying on my own. Special thanks to Salma and the other ladies at reception - they were absolutely amazing. The Riad is so beautiful and calming and I loved the attention to detail when they cleaned the rooms. I loved that there is a spa service in the Riad and I had my first Hammam treatment and Massage which was so good! Breakfast and dinner, although the same every day, were very good also. 10/10 I’d highly recommend

The pool was way too cold for me to be able to use it much, which is a shame.

We loved Riad Kniza! It was a home away from home. The staff was so friendly and treated us so so well. The breakfast every morning was abundant and delicious. The property is beautiful! And the front desk staff will help you with any reservations and guided tours. The owner is very friendly and approachable. He showed us his personal art collection and private museum. It's a must see! We were so sad to leave this beautiful home and the friends we made. We will definitely be back!

There is nothing we did not like about this property.

Riad Kniza far exceeded our expectations, even though these were already high given the photos provided on Booking.com and elsewhere we found the Riad far more beautiful in reality. The craftsmanship of the tiling and carving employed in the floors, walls and ceilings in each room and courtyard was some of the best that we have seen anywhere, and together with the attention to detail involved in selection the furnishings meant that there was something interesting to study wherever we looked. We had a wonderful fresh and varied breakfast on the roof terrace every morning, which included both the usual staples as well as some local items. All of the staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful and really made for a very relaxing stay in extremely palatial surroundings.

Absolutely nothing that could be improved.

This place has all the right ingredients to make you feel in paradise. The staff is lovely and always going the extra mile for you to feel in paradise. The owner of the Riad is a lovely person who checks if everything is going fine (more than once, and does that because he values a happy customer). The rooms, the patio, the pool, the rooftop, all sparkling clean, with amazing fragrances, beautiful decorations and a lot of plants with birds happily living in harmony. You leave the buzz of the Medina to enter into a calm, small paradise and you feel like you just had what you needed to feel good. Many thanks to all the staff for being so helpful and lovely with us.

Architecture, service, beds, cleanliness, location

Ground floor room (room 1) was right next to reception to the point that I could hear the printer running, phone ringing and everyone that came or left did so past our room. Very noisy street with a collection of youths (non threatening) literally outside our bathroom window shouting and singing and playing football. Breakfast was very beautifully presented and what was offered was high quality but it was the same every day with no fruit or anything fresh. We ended up going to other places for breakfast for something a bit healthier.

Excellent location and helpful staff.

The Riad was very dark inside. Also, booked half day high end desert trip with dinner based on Riad Kniza recommendation. Instead we were taken to a very low budget desert camp. Dinner was just OK and certainly not what we were led to believe we would experience,

Amazing stay at Riad Kniza, the staff make this stunning property an exceptional stay. We came in early Dec and spent 4 nights here and wow, could not fault it in terms of value for money, and service. This ended up being our engagement trip (I didn't know) and I couldn't have wished for a better place to stay. We loved the flexibility of having breakfast until 12pm as we went and did some exploring before having breakfast on ther terrace in the sunshine after. Roof terrace is lovely, we aren't sure how many rooms there are but we barely encountered guests. We also paid for the 300 dirham hammam experience each on our last day which was lovely and relaxing after exploring Marrakech for 5 days. Saw a review below saying water and iron isn't included, but free bottled water was available at request, even to take out with us for the day and we also got our clothes pressed included in the room fee on request?

Location isn't amazing its a walk to the Medina and also to the fancier side of town with Nobu and Comptior Darna, but if you like walking its fine. Bacha coffee is only 10 mins away.

Spotlessly clean and delightful helpful staff. Great location in the medina and within walking distance to most of the historic places of interest.

For the price (£250 a night roughly) I would’ve expected water to be supplied daily in room and an iron to be made available in the room too. These should be basics at that price point. Water pressure was not great but this could be to do with the age of the property and the shower was difficult and dangerous to climb in and out of (over a large bath). There was no do not disturb sign in the room so staff entered often without you knowing which wasn’t an issue, but I think it’s good to be aware at least. I asked for a plaster during my stay but one wasn’t available only a small piece of medical tape.

Riad Kniza was exceptional. The architecture of the building is very impressive, along with the decoration. The view from the terrace is breathtaking and we enjoyed a few meals up there. The staff were lovely and very welcoming. They were very attentive to our needs and made sure we had the best possible experience. We booked a few excursions through the hotel and these were high quality and very enjoyable. The breakfast was outstanding and it was very special to try local produce every morning. We also had dinner at the hotel a few times and the food was also really nice. We were also given the opportunity to visit the owner’s museum attached to the Riad, which was fantastic. The owner of the Riad is a lovely man with an extensive knowledge of Moroccan culture. It was extremely interesting and very special.

Almost everything was perfect during our stay at Riad Kniza. The only points were that the fireplace in our room was not in use due to a technical issue. We stayed in Marrakesh in December and would have loved to use the fireplace which was a room feature we were looking forwards to prior to our stay. The TV was also not working in our room.

An oasis of serenity, a step away from all the wonderful maddness the Medina has to offer. A balm for all the senses, from the subtle fragrance of jasmine, the tinkle of the fountains & the attention to detail in all the fixtures . We had a lovely late breakfast each day on the roof terrace . Our room was huge and spotlessly clean We availed both of the massage & hammam treatment, which were excellent - the therapist was both professional & friendly . Indeed we would like to thank all the staff who were very friendly and helpful - nothing was ever a bother
