• Claude-Alain (9/5): - Riad magnifique avec 3 riads joints. Piscine dans un cadre exceptionnel. Personnel très attentionné et professionnel. Petit déjeuner incroyable. Insonorisation.
• Jovana (10/5): Clean, quiet, luxurious stay in Medina with amazing food and attending staff - Super clean, great location, the restaurant had the best food we've ever had in Morocco. Everything was so fresh and service was super kind and attending. We also booked massages and as someone who does a lot of massages, I can tell that it was one of the best relax massages I've ever had! The room was super clean and quiet and we had such a good rest. Would definitely recommend this place! Nothing to add here.
• Jon (8/5): - It’s a hidden gem in the thick of the town!
• Elisa (9/5): -
• dominique (9/5): Excellent accueil et disponibilité du personnel -
• loic (10/5): - Un vrai havre de paix en plein cœur de la médina. Le riad est superbe, très bien entretenu, avec une ambiance authentique et chaleureuse. Les chambres sont confortables, propres et décorées avec beaucoup de goût. Mention spéciale pour l’accueil et la gentillesse du personnel, toujours disponible et aux petits soins du début à la fin du séjour.
• peter (10/5): Uitermate goed, eigenaar een uitstekende , vriendelijke gastheer👍. , gastvrij - Prachtige acomodatie, paleisje in de oude binnenstad, luxe kamers , prachtige binnen tuinen, fontijnen
• susan (10/5): Tranquility - It was one of the best accommodations I have ever stayed staff were excellent over and above a wonderful stay Nothing
• Liwaa (8/5): -
• Elizabeth (10/5): Thank you thank you. What a fantastic trip and stay 🫶🙌 - Great location, walking distance from everywhere you need to see when in Marrakesh. Breakfast was great. The staff were unbelievably helpful and it couldn’t have been cleaner. You can get a local beer here unlike many Riads. Can’t think of anything to say here. There was nothing we didn’t like.
• Mustafa (9/5): Harika - Otoparkı yok arada zor bulunur
• Kathryn (10/5): A lovely authentic Marrakesh experience - Beautiful and comfortable
• Thiyagarajah (10/5): -
• Giacomo (9/5): Veramente soddisfacente - Personale gentilissimo e disponibile, Riad molto bello e caratteristico, posizione ottima Niente di particolare, forse i bagni leggermente datati
• Thomas (9/5): -
• Carol (10/5): Very atmospheric with great staff. - Excellent staff. Great food. Nice rooftop section. The owner’s private museum was incredible! The rooms are dark and we are elderly so hard to see. (They did bring us an extra lamp upon request however). Stairs are steep and winding. No elevator so not handicap accessible.
• Heather (10/5): Fabulous Upscale Riad host to many Hollywood celebrities - Fabulous Upscale Riad - that has hosted so many Hollywood celebrities! An Oasis in Marrakesh. Traditional decor but super modern bathrooms/AC etc. Perfect location close to taxi stand for airports and souks/restaurants.
• Lisa (10/5): -
• Celena (10/5): - Tranquilidad del Riad, amabilidad del personal, belleza del Riad, habitaciones muy cómodas y amplias, servicio de té en el check in, desayuno fabuloso, hammam y masajes. Ubicación: 20min andando máx. de los lugares principales Nada
• SIMONE (9/5): Excelente forma de conhecer Marrakesh - A Riad é bem cuidada, limpa e bem localizada dentro da Medina , é perto das portas de entradas que é bem importante quando se sai à noite. Achei os funcionários solícitos e prontos a ajudar com reservas e inclusive a contratação de guia, que por sinal foi excelente!
• Olivia (9/5): - The staff were fantastically helpful and the riad was beautiful. It had a large peaceful roof terrace which was lovely after a long day walking through the Medina.The set menu in the restaurant was more like a tasting menu and every dish was fresh and delicious. Nothing, everything was excellent.
• Lorraine (10/5): One word…… Amazing. - The Riad, is a quiet tranquil place away from all the hustle and bustle outside. Wonderful staff who couldn’t do enough for us, the food was fantastic. Clean and comfortable. Loved every minute. Absolutely nothing. We had an amazing stay.
• Jane (10/5): Beautiful riad Would definitely recommend - My second stay Love the location Beautiful rooms Great rooftop Nice hamman and spa
• Sharna (8/5): -
• Viviane (10/5): Mooie luxueus verblijf - Mooie en goed gelegen locatie aan de rand van de medina. Luxe en rust in de drukte
• Jose Luis (10/5): Trop court- j’aurais voulu rester plus long temps - Le personnel était incroyablement attentionné- professionnel- disponible. Les installations sont royales- le service 5 etoiles. Tout était impeccable. Rien à critiquer
• Buyukulas (10/5): Amazing ! Would recommend to everyone! - Very clean perfectly designed and very helpful staff members! The massage was excellent as well ! Breakfast could be better maybe more options could be added
• Vincent (10/5): - Super personnel attentionné. Une oasis de fraîcheur et de calme en plein coeur de la médina. La restauration du lieux avec des techniques traditionnelles marocainnes est magnifique. Un super personnel qui collabore même à nous faire parvenir les articles oubliés en chamvre par les voyageurs égarés.

• IRENE (9/5): Beautiful Riad, spacious and comfortable. The lovely roof terrace was very relaxing. - Beautiful Riad with a number of different courtyards and seating areas. Lovely, relaxing rooftop space with comfortable seating and sun loungers. Delicious and plentiful, freshly prepared breakfast. Comfortable and spacious bedroom with its own seating area. Drinks were available to order throughout the day. I would have liked some communication from the hotel before arrival. The swimming pool was too cold to swim in. Spa, hammam needed to be pre-booked - if we had known this, we would have pre-booked to use it on arrival. No information about what was available in the hotel and prices - eg. hammam, drinks, restaurant menu. We were never able to get the WiFi connection to work.
• Kate (9/5): A beautiful calm oasis in the medina. - A beautiful calm oasis in the medina. Excellent food and rooftop terrace. The owner came to meet guests at dinner.
• Guest (10/5): -
• Arpana (10/5): Amazing - Ambience and silence Not applicable

• Louise (10/5): -
• Darrell (10/5): Excellent location, premium experience, fantastic facilities (sauna, massage and pool). Recommend it fully. - Staff were exceptional. Food in the restaurant was divine. Nothing at all
• John (10/5): Rperfect Riad in every way - Loved everything from the Moroccan design to excellent service. Mohamed, the owner has had this riad and home for many generations. The staff will help you organize your stay and helped us with a driver and guide over the Atlas mountains to Ait Benhaddou and other desert destinations. The Riad is very authentic and the Morrocan design and antiques are gorgeous. Nothing

• Albert (7/5): -
• Margherita (10/5): -
• Audrey (9/5): - Staff so friendly and attentive nothing was any trouble Nothing
• Monique (10/5): -
• Margarita (10/5): - Riad Kniza was truly beautiful, thanks to its exceptional location in a historic 18th-century setting, which has been wonderfully restored and impeccably maintained. The cleanliness was flawless, with delicate touches such as rose petals thoughtfully arranged throughout the house, in the room, and across the property, creating a refined and welcoming atmosphere. The service was discreet yet attentive, striking a perfect balance, and the Moroccan continental breakfast was simply outstanding - the pastries, in particular, were of superior quality, among the best we tasted during our entire trip to Morocco. The hammam experience was also a lovely addition. We would also like to highlight the excellent location of the property, ideally situated near one of the city gates in a pleasant and safe area of the Medina, making it both convenient and enjoyable to explore. The view from the rooftop is truly superb — especially at golden hour — with breathtaking perspectives over the Koutoubia Mosque and the Atlas Mountains. It was undoubtedly one of the most beautiful views we experienced during our rooftop explorations. We especially appreciated the personal touch from the owner, who kindly greeted us during the first evening of our stay. Thank you for such a memorable stay. If we were to offer one small suggestion, it would be to consider adding a walk-in shower, either instead of or in addition to the bathtub, as this may be more convenient for some guests. We stayed in the largest room of the riad, so it is possible that other rooms are already equipped with walk-in showers. Additionally, having a small in-room station with a coffee machine and facilities for tea and coffee would be a lovely enhancement. These are only minor suggestions — everything else was truly wonderful. Once again, thank you for such a delightful experience.
• Bri (10/5): My stay was 5 stars this is definitely a 5 star Riad! My husband and I didn’t want to leave with home much we enjoyed ou - The property was amazing! The detail and the rooftop made it so special! The staff were great they offer room service and are very attentive and willing to offer directions/help for anywhere you need to go! They clean your room multiple times a day I could not get over how good the service was. Would definitely stay again! Nothing it was great
• Sarah (9/5): -
• Konstantinos (10/5): -
• Stelios (10/5): Υπέροχη διαμονή σε παραδοσιακό Riad. - Εξαιρετικό Riad με εκπληκτικούς εσωτερικούς χώρους. Τα δωμάτια είναι μεγάλα άνετα και πολύ παραδοσιακά. Το προσωπικό είναι απίστευτο. Φροντίζουν για όλα με ένα τεράστιο χαμόγελο. Τους ευχαριστούμε πολύ. Η υποδοχή με τσάι μέντας και γλυκίσματα είναι υπέροχη. Ο ιδιοκτήτης είναι εκεί για να ενδιαφερθεί αν περνάμε ωραία. Το σημείο που βρίσκεται εξυπηρετεί σε όλες τις μετακινήσεις και τις εξωτερικές δραστηριότητες. Πιθανόν η μη ύπαρξη ψυγείου και παντόφλες δωματίου. Πολύ μικρές λεπτομέρειες που δεν αλλοιώνουν την υπέροχη διαμονή.
• Arve (8/5): Litt høy prisklasse men svært god service. - Veldig hyggelige ansatte, god beliggenhet og svært god frokost. Fikk også deilig hammam behandling.. Generelt litt krevende å få grei temperatur på rom og i fellesarealer. Dette er nok kun gjeldende for den kalde årstiden.
• Cameron (9/5): Wonderful first visit to Marrakesh - We loved it was close to the airport and Medina. We rarely used taxis to get about and easily walked around. The Road was spotlessly clean, food exceptional and staff very friendly and helpful. The Riad also has a small museum next door dedicated to Morocco, its history and culture ! Well worth seeing. No complaints

• marco (10/5): Tutto perfetto - Un oasi di pace
• Emmanuel (10/5): Très beau riad au calme - Le riad est très beau, très bien équipé. Le petit déjeuner est vraiment bon et c'est super de pouvoir le prendre un peu où on veut. Le personnel est très professionnel et le service excellent. La localisation est bien, a l'écart de la zone très touristique donc un peu plus tranquille, mais tout est faisable à pied. La chambre n'est pas bien insonorisé au niveau du bruit, heureusement c'est assez calme
• Ivans (8/5): - Everything Very cold water in the swimming pool
• francoise (9/5): Authenticité sérénité et déconnexion… - Le petit déjeuner en terrasse excellent avec des pâtisseries maison succulentes Un personnel au petit soin Le Riad est authentique calme Tout était parfait Rien à signaler

Our room was beautiful, super clean The roof top terrace was perfect to relax on after a full day of sightseeing
• Brad (10/5): Great stay in a beautiful riad - The food was all great, from breakfast to dinner to the little cookies that came with the welcome tea. The staff were all exceptional. The location was perfect, close to the entrance of the medina so you don't need to walk with your luggage for long. The property itself was beautiful, wish we had more time to enjoy it (we only stayed one night). Nothing, the stay was great.

• Simona (8/5): -
• Bernard (10/5): Exceptional. Great first trip to Morocco. - The property is beautiful, winding staircases, intricate tile and paintings throughout. The sofa in the dining room is so intricate pictures don’t do it justice. the only thing better than the beauty of the hotel is how accommodating and helpful the staff are. Shoutout to the owners grandson for his suggestions, very practical and helpful for my trip. It was a little cold. There could be more variety with breakfast.

• Graeme (10/5): A quite and tranquil place to escape to after the hustle and bustle of the Souks. - Everything about the Riad from the decor, the staff, the food, the service and the rooms was incredible. A wonderful stay.
• Peter (10/5): amazing stay in the old town - c. 15-20 mins from the main square - breakfast was v good - plenty of different types of food: breads, omelette, cereal, yoghurt) - were able to have in the room, rooftop or in the dining room difficult to get to by taxi - had to be dropped off a few streets away, and then walk
• Archie (10/5): -
• Philip (10/5): Phenomal stay, we will be back. - The staff, property, and food were simply phenomenal. Extremely attentive and caring, the staff were fantastic. The property is exquisite, with tremendous architecture. You can also tell the staff takes extreme care. Our 5 course dinner the first night we stayed was truly wonderful, teaching us about the culture and tasting great. We could not have asked for better. Additionally, the breakfast on the terrace each morning was a great way for my family and I to start the day. Thank you so much for all the care you made my family feel during our stay. The neighborhood surrounding the property was a little edgy, however, it felt like we were in a local neighborhood, which we liked.
• Luca (9/5): -
• Ferdinando Maria (10/5): - La struttura è meravigliosa, i cortili, le stanze, le terrazze. Servizio impeccabile. Posizione ottima. Il proprietario, il sig. Mohammed, è un gentiluomo d'altri tempi, colto e con una collezione di libri, gioielli berberi e artigianato locale meravigliosa, un po' sparsa nel riad ma soprattutto nella sua galleria/boutique/museo all'altro lato della stradina. Nulla.
• Richard (8/5): - Good location 15min walk from centre - very friendly staff, lovely breakfasts, nice roof terrace. Water ran cold a couple of times.
• Thomas (10/5): Pretty much a perfect stay. - Everything about this Riad was lovely. The staff was attentive and friendly, the location was great, the facilities, everything. A great value too.
