“Unexpected gift”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 14, 2013

Wow. I just stayed at the Riad Kniza for a week and it was an amazing experience. Aside from the beautiful, clean rooms and common areas, the most spectacular aspect of my experience was the service. I'd give everything at this Riad the highest Trip Advisor rating of 5, but if I could, I would give the service a 10. I am not exaggerating when I say they all made me feel like family. There is a sense of genuine concern and care for the well being of the guests that emanates from every member of the staff and which I have not experienced in this way anywhere else I have visited in the world. The entire staff is exemplary. Many thanks to Samira, Hicham (both!), Mounir (both!), Mohammed S., Amine and Amina.

If you want an authentic, Marrakech experience and you want to be taken care of, this is the place to go. Great location-- right in the Medina yet a world apart. Stunning architecture and design. And a warmth that I found lacking when visiting other high-end properties in Marrakech.

“A haven of peace & quiet and great service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 13, 2013

What a wonderful place for a romantic break.
The Riad is superbly appointed and beautifully maintained.
The service is discrete but attentive.
The location is perfect for wandering (lost or otherwise) the Medina of Marrakech.

We had a couple of minor issues but they were sorted out very quickly and with the minimum of fuss/aggravation.

We booked a 4 night package (B&B, room, Medina tour, Atlas Mountains tour & massage) and added Hamman/scrubs and a cooking lesson. All were wonderful and great value for money.

A big thanks to all the staff and owners - we will return!

“Fabulous Riad”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 29, 2013

Although its a culture shock when you're dropped off just inside the Medina, as soon as you're through the door of this beautiful Riad it's an oasis of calm. The suites are lovely and spotlessly clean. The staff are all without exception very welcoming. The food, including an evening meal was exceptional. All in all highly recommended!

“Experience the Best of the Best”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 27, 2013

My wife and I spent three nights in heaven at the Riad Kniza. The staff were remarkable -- friendly, helpful, and always with a smile. We were served breakfast on the roof terrace, which was peaceful. The food at breakfast and dinner was plentiful and totally delicious. Our room was well appointed, spacious, super-clean. We were greeted with rose petals everywhere.

The central area where we rested or had dinner was just an amazing sight to behold. This is the place to stay inside the medina.

Room Tip: We were in the Sultan Suite. I am sure all the rooms are fantastic.

“Fabulous!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 25, 2013

Just spent a long weekend there with my husband. Super riad, beautifully appointed, impeccabile service. Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Food super served with a smile and an extremely cosy dining room. Located in the real Marrakech. A little, peaceful oasis in the middle of the medina. Will return again as soon as we can!

Room Tip: We stayed in a junior suite. Beautifully decorated, very spacious.
