We came here after our trek in the Atlas Mountains purely to rest for four nights. Riad Kniza, a beautiful, traditional riad with the bonus of a small indoor swimming pool, was an excellent choice. What made our stay so very memorable, however, was its superb staff. While always managing to remain unobtrusive, they seemed to have a sixth sense... More

How lucky were we to choose this superb riad!! It was totally brilliant in every respect! We felt so special and utterly spoilt, as the service by all staff was impeccable at all times. We had a wonderful meal in the restaurant, the roof terrace was fantastic with plenty of seating in both sun and shade and the pool was... More

Simply wonderful. From the checkin procedure: "sit down in this cool alcove and have some mint tea" to the checkout procedure, which felt more like saying good-bye to old friends. Let's not kid ourselves; it's not cheap. But the air fare was so much less than to other far-flung destinations that the overall package price was very reasonable. It was... More

We stayed in this Riad for 2 fantastic nights. We had planned ahead of time to move to outskirts of the medina thinking that we would like some peace and quiet of the bustling area. I have to say that our stay on the peaceful oasis of the Riad was far more enjoyable then the Palace a bit further out... More

We stayed at this exceptional hotel for a total of 4 nights. It is truly an oasis in the middle of a bustling and huge medina. The staff is friendly and eager to help.

Just spent two nights in Marraech at this amazing riad. We were in a junior suite . It was on par with the best places we've stayed at in morocco which is saying a lot. It wasn't just over the top luxurious with jaw dropping appointments, beautiful courtyards, rooftop oasis and fit for royalty rooms but had a staff that... More

From arrival to departure the staff were faultless. Without doubt the best service we have ever experienced, with every member of staff being discreetly efficient and friendly. The Riad Kniza was a beautiful oasis amongst the hustle and bustle of the surrounding streets which were culturally fascinating. We stayed in the Marjana room and it was beautiful and tastefully strewn... More

My Wife and I felt safe and pampered from arrival. If you love fine antique art and over the top service this is the place for you. There is a saying, God lives in the details. Well, details abound at the Riad Kniza. Little touches are found everywhere. Rose petals on the tables, beds, and even the cover of the... More

This was our first visit to Marrakech so selecting the Riad Kniza was a shot in the dark. Well a good shot it was. A place that is alive and inviting with a wonderful staff full of energy and the joy to serve. It started with us selecting the Riad Kniza about two months in advance, I asked a lot... More

This is long overdue. Exactly six months late, actually. My apologies to the entire staff of this unbelievable place for not expressing our gratitude sooner. I will not say anything about the hotel itself, as it has been thoroughly reviewed in previous posts. I will just say that we were (and still are) impressed by the attention of the staff... More
