Contact the property ahead to arrange transportation/pickup.
Taxis cannot go into the roads to the Riad and you’ll have to drag your luggage through a bustling little market.
Once you get to the property it is worth it! The staff is amazing, breakfast on the terrace was memorable

We had three nights at riad kniza and it was beyond our expectations. Location is a gem 20mins walk to medina square and all the amazing places we see on instagram like 1112 tea house and Kabana rooftop just to mention.

All at riad were wonderful with exceptional customer focus and service. Their breakfasts are amazing and so too their dinner that we had on last night all locally sourced and made in the kitchen 😋.

If you thinking of staying in a riad that go other place other than Kniza.

This place is a good introduction to old Morocco. While nicely maintained, it has seen its glory days. The staff was quite attentive - the ones who can speak English well. We had dinner at the rooftop. The service was a little slow but the food was okay. Breakfast in our room was more than enough and it was delicious.

Riad so beautiful

Everything was exquisite. Only thing is the Moroccan diet is bread heavy so if you are gluten intolerant - inform hotel ahead of time for arrangements.

That’s just the general cuisine, as for the hotel, everything was superb.

Breakfast in the roof is more than perfect and it ends at noon. A plus.

the area outside the riad is probably the dirtiest in medina but then the riad is the best in medina so it's a tough call. would love to see the butcher shops move out of the area. the actual medina with shops selling artifacts etc are so nice.

Riad Kniza was, hands down, one of the best hotel experiences of my life. Here are just a sampling of reasons why: the friendly and attentive staff, clean and cold pool for after a hot walk, coffee delivered to the room in minutes, lovely hammam massage, continental breakfast that I miss each morning now, tasty Casablanca beers, and comfortable lounging spaces in a beautiful garden area.
Don't hesitate. Book now!

This riad is a little perfect gem, an oasis of peace amidst the mad hustle and bustle of the medina. Stunning interiors, attentive and friendly service, gorgeous, oversized room and bathroom, with the most comfortable bed and pillows! Upon our arrival, we were greeted with mint tea and the best cookies we’ve ever had! A fruit platter was waiting for us in the room. A very nice breakfast was included in the price, served on the beautiful rooftop. The location was superb - with the main sites all within a 20 minute or less walk of the riad. I can’t recommend this place enough!!! It gets two thumbs up from me!

Beautiful & traditional. The hidden Oasis

A beautiful traditional location to stay. Immersed in the heart of Marrakesh with all the sights and shopping. Although being a tranquil oasis away from the hustle of the lively streets. You can swim in the pool or rest in the sun on the roof and not feel like you are a stones throw away from the busy heart of Marrakesh. The staff are super friendly and helpful.

Riad Kniza - inside the Media, Marrakech

My wife & I stayed in a beautiful Riad in the Medina called Riad Kniza. The rooms were ornate & spacious. It was close to all sites & amenities. The staff were accommodating & pleasant until the end. The Riad had a lovely courtyard full of green plants & trees and charming common areas with tables, chairs and sofas where you could relax or read a book. They even had a magnificent roof terrace furnished with plants and cozy cabanas.

On our final morning we arranged a taxi to the Airport (RAK) as we had a 7am flight to Paris.
Shortly before we left, a man (who I believed was either hotel staff or a taxi driver in contract with the hotel) brought us cappuccinos & Moroccan pastries. We believed it was so thoughtful. He took our room key & grabbed our suitcases. Once we were finished he returned to escort us out. As he was walking in front of us pulling our bags towards the awaiting taxi, that’s when my wife & I noticed the back of his graphic T-Shirt. It had big bold colorful letters in English that read “F*** You All”. My wife & I looked at each other shocked & puzzled. Was this intended as a deliberately offensive message towards tourists from the U.S., UK or Canada? Because it wasn’t in French or Arabic & it definitely wasn’t subtle. Sadly, it left a sour taste in our wonderful memory as we interpreted its meaning & implication as: we may need or want your money, but don’t come back again. I wonder if anyone else has had similar experiences at this Riad or others?

Lovely Riad! Very luxurious, staff very attentive, and just gorgeously decorated. Some very thoughtful touches, and very helpful in organizing things around the city. Breakfast on the roof was lovely, which you can do before the day gets too hot. Some nights had a live musician in the courtyard which was cool. Only thing to be wary of is a few charges adding up - there are no irons or steamers in the building so only option is to pay to send things out for ironing, and they have a sauna but it's US$17 to turn on.

The Riad was amazing and beautiful. Free wifi and a lounge. It didn’t have coffee making facilities, fridge or desk. Centrally located in the Medina. Very friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast was amazing and the restaurant was well worth a visit.

Absolute luxury. An oasis in the medina hustle-bustle. We were catered to by very attentive staff. Our every need was met immediately. The facilities are beautiful and comfortable. Breakfast on the roof was included and sumptuous. We also had a typical Moroccan dinner twice there. It was a wonderful experience for us.

Great Experience

The Riad itself was beautiful and the staff were incredible. They were attentive , polite, helpful and always willing to lend a hand so that your stay and Morocco experience were amazing.

The location was quite good as well . About 100 meters from Bab Dhoukala which is the main entrance to the area and where your tax would drop u off . The staff will meet u at the drop off for your bags .

They arranged daily excursions which were wonderful.

It is a family run business with all of the perks .

Only very minor issue was water pressure and hot water were sporadically not up to snuff.

Otherwise I would highly recommend the Riad Kniza for your Marakesh stay .

The riad was wonderful. If you are traveling with a friend or want separate beds make sure you clarify with the riad first. Our room had one double bed. They separated them but they were essentially one bed. They kindly made up one of the couches downstairs in the room so it worked out ok.

Beautiful property with fantastic and very friendly staff. Everyone was helpful, really friendly and happy to help. The property is a piece of art, very clean, spacious rooms and a rooftop that is an oasis of tranquility. We would return any time.
We also felt safe walking from and to the property at night. However, the alley is highly frequented by mopeds and has a lot of places that barbecue on charcoal, particularly at night which leads to smoke and smells. That part of the Medina is still fairly authentic, so prepare yourself for some frenzy.
Just a minor side note: If you like to sleep in, you might want to consider earplugs because the sound travels through some sections of the property and the early morning cleaning could wake you up.

My recent stay at Riad Kniza was absolutely delightful! From the moment we arrived, the staff impressed us with their easy-going nature and eagerness to assist. They efficiently arranged our airport transfers, making our arrival and departure stress free.

The breakfasts were a highlight - generous and delicious, with the added luxury of choosing to dine in our room, on the rooftop, or in the restaurant.

Our room was spacious and meticulously cleaned twice a day, with fresh fruit and water replenished daily.

We also thoroughly enjoyed the Hammam experience organised right in the Riad.

Overall, Riad Kniza exceeded our expectations. We would highly recommend it!

Romantic getaway in the Medina

My second time back at Riad Kniza, and it was absolutely incredible. This hotel has the highest quality of service and they really do take such good care of their guests. I love how small it is and how much attention we received in terms of timely answers for our requests, room service twice a day, and beautiful breakfast every morning. It’s such a treat and will have us coming back to Marrakech to visit this riad for years to come. I’ll be dreaming of Riad Kniza!

My wife had to point it out, but the idea of the Riad is to enjoy life the way that the owners had in the past. Its remarkable to go from the crazy business of the medina to the oasis of the Riad. The rooms were luxurious and the entire Riad was so calm and quiet. The breakfasts were incredible. Really enjoyed my stay

Perfect Hidden Gem an absolute must visit

Where to begin. The Riad Kniza is a hidden gem that is an absolute must if you are coming to Marrakesh. In the old town lots of thimgs to vosit only a walk away. We were welcomed by Fatina who was so friendly and helpful, our room was huge, spotlessly clean and a little bit of heaven. We had breakfast on the roof terrace every morning and all of the staff were so helpful and friendly. Cant recommend this Riad enough, i just wish we had time to stay longer.

Weekend in Marrakech

We had a lovely weekend at the Riad Kniza. The staff were very friendly and helpful, particularly the lady that was there on our arrival. She helped us with some suggestions for restaurants for the evening and how we could organise our days to see everything we wanted to.
The Riad was very clean with staff frequently seen keeping it so. There are lots of different places to relax inside or out with our favourite being the roof terrace where we also had a fabulous breakfast in the morning just after the sunrise.
Location was perfect. Within the Medina but towards the edge so not as noisy. Easy walking distance to all the sites and the staff arranged a taxi for us to and from the hotel to make things easier.
Overall a very enjoyable stay and would highly recommend it.

Royalty Stay in Marrakech

This was, without a doubt, one of the most exceptional hotel/Riad experiences we've ever had. The customer service was impeccable, standing out even more when compared to other Moroccan riads. The accommodations were truly fit for royalty—spotlessly clean, spacious, and equipped with air conditioning in every room.

Breakfasts were abundant and delicious. The location is ideal, situated just inside the Medina and close to the gate. The front desk staff were exceptionally attentive, going above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. When I needed a dress pressed, it was returned in under 20 minutes. Cold beers were delivered to our room within 10 minutes of our return—a welcome refreshment in the August heat—and fresh fruit awaited us in our room. I could go on, but simply put, you won’t find a better place to stay.

Bonus: The owner has his own art gallery just across from the Riad. He graciously opened it for us and gave us a private tour. It was, without exaggeration, the finest collection of Moroccan cultural art we encountered during our entire trip, including our visits to Casablanca, Fez, and Marrakech. Stop searching—you’ve found the place to stay.

The stay was amazing. We arrived a little early and were lucky to have the room ready for us. The welcome tea was very refreshing. The room itself was beautiful decorated, very clean, spacious and very comfortable. We had dinner in the evening which ended up being a private dinner on the rooftop. The waiter was excellent and the food was outstanding. When we checked out, our bags were put in a cart and taken to the main street so we could get a taxi. If we're ever back in Marrakesh, we will definitely be looking to stay here again.

Riad Kniza is absolutely stunning. Located in the Medina and walking distance from all the major sites and souks. When we arrived we were blown away but how amazing the property is. It offers various different relaxing areas, lounges, a roof terrace, a pool etc. The staff were really attentive. The manager gave us a tour on arrival and then we settled in on the huge roof terrace which has shaded areas, loungers and toilets. There was a phone on the roof to call for tea, wine and snacks. Whatever you wanted. The hotel accommodated everything. You can also order your breakfast to any part of the Riad. We had it in our room, by the pool and on the roof terrace. Different locations each day.

The room we stayed in was lovely. The size and decor was perfect. We arrived to rose petal displays and fresh fruit each day. Everything was perfect. We’ve stayed in amazing luxury hotels all over the world and have to say Riad Kniza is right up there with some of the best. Such an amazing place!

Although the rooms are impressive, this accommodation is far from a five star hotel. Is simply located in a dirty busy area of the medina and doesn’t have the space needed in the general areas in order to be half confortable. Doesn’t have a lift and is full of stairs and corridors. The rooms are dark, don’t have a terrace, the hot water takes ages to warm up, the tv needs a guide in order to work😂 although there is the roof terrace…the staff are nice and welcoming… they are also very tight with their charges…definitely overpriced for what you get in return…I wouldn’t be coming back to that Riad…I would come back to Marrakesh though…

We stayed for two nights and no complaints whatsoever. Beautiful rooms and facilities. Really great value for what you get, reasonably priced spa treatments. No request was too much for the staff and they even gave us some great recommendations regarding the souks. Dinner on the roof was also amazing. Like a quiet oasis in the middle of the median which we always enjoyed coming back to. Overall probably the best hotel stay we’ve had anywhere.

Fabulous 5 Star Riad in Marrakech

Our experience at Riad Kniza was fabulous. The service we received was outstanding in every way as were the accommodations. We couldn't have enjoyed our stay more. We were very impressed by how beautiful the Riad was - VERY luxury and comfortable. The included breakfasts (which we enjoyed on the rooftop) were first class. So much food with fresh squeezed orange juice and delicious coffee and tea. Our room was spacious and very comfortable as well. I think this was one of the cleanest places we have ever stayed. We observed staff cleaning floors, walls, etc. daily. It was immaculate! Would highly, highly recommend to any traveler. When we come back to Marrakech, this is where we would stay again.
