This was my third visit to Marrakech and this time I decided to stay at Riad Kniza, having read the excellent reviews. We stayed there for four nights (16 - 20 June). I can honestly say that the actual experience exceeded my expectations (and I am not easily impressed by hotels). Everything was PERFECT ! The wonderfully restored old mansion, absolutely authentic and full of precious antique objects, the likes of which you can see only in museums (check out the pottery, the paintings, and the amazing Islamic metalwork pieces). The delicious, homemade food, which was by far the finest we had in Marrakech (the chicken with lemon and olives, as well as the tajine of lamb with figs, were to die for). There are many cosy salons in the riad, so you can choose the one you like and have a private dinner! As for the new, crystal clear swimming pool, decorated in pure moroccan style, it is a true oasis of beauty and tranquility, and a fabulous place to spend the hotter hours of the day -followed by a relaxing hammam and massage, if you like. Our suite (Suite Lubana) was equally beautiful, very comfortable, impeccably clean, and with real class.
However, the highlight of the hotel was the incredible management and staff. Nothing is ever a problem for them and they will do just everything in order to please - in no time. Everyone, from the charming owner, (who is extremely hospitable, deeply learned, and eager to answer all your questions about Marrakech) down to the waiters, is polite and helpful to a fault. Samira, the girl at the reception, is one of the most efficient, pleasant and helpful persons I have met in any hotel during all my years of travel. We were even allowed to stay until 6 pm in our room during our last day, with no extra charge for day use.
Staying at Riad Kniza was the highlight of our trip to Marrakech. A place with REAL CLASS and character, combined with top efficiency and human warmth. Absolute perfection in every respect! KOSTAS STAMELOS, from Athens, Greece.
