My stay at Riad Kniza was simply wonderful, making it a true oasis in the vibrant Medina of Marrakech. The beautifully decorated rooms provided a plush and comfortable retreat, while the staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive. Breakfasts on the rooftop terrace were a highlight, but I could have stayed longer to enjoy more of the wonderful ambiance. The location was convenient to explore the local attractions, although I did have occasional safety concerns while walking through the surrounding area.

I had an excellent experience at Riad Kniza! The beauty and meticulous decor of the riad, combined with the unwavering attention and care from the staff, made my stay feel truly luxurious. I loved waking up to the daily breakfast on the rooftop. However, I did find the room quite cold at night, and the smokiness from the open areas was a bit concerning for my asthma.

My stay at Riad Kniza was really good. The staff, from the owner to the cleaners, made me feel like part of their family right from the warm welcome. The location is perfect—right in the heart of the Medina—allowing easy access to major attractions. Although the rooms can feel a bit dark, especially the standard ones, the ambiance of the riad creates a peaceful retreat after a day exploring. I would recommend this lovely riad for an authentic Moroccan experience.
