About the location
Famed for its exotic ambiance, eclectic style and unique architecture, Marrakech is a fascinating destination which attracts visitors from across the globe. Framed by the snow capped High Atlas Mountains, at the heart of the city is the central medina which is steeped in ancient history, combining Arabic and African culture.
Marrakech offers a feast for all the senses. Bustling market stalls line the walkways, while elaborate archways open up into tranquil courtyards. The city is alive with vivid colour and tourists will fall in love with the vibrance of this city. Walls are awash with rose pink, spices create golden hues, deep red textiles add richness and shades of blue bring a pop of colour to doors. Aromas from food stalls waft throughout the streets, offering authentic flavours including tagine and fresh seafood. Sandwiched between the historic mosques and beautiful mansions, you’ll find quaint shops and boutiques (or souks), selling a range of authentic wares from hand beaded slippers to fragrant spices. And it’s not uncommon to stumble across entertainers including jugglers, snake charmers and belly dancers, adding to the exotic buzz of the city.

This is a beautiful Riad. The decor is sumptuous, and we enjoyed 5 nights of perfect calm.
Every singe member of staff that we met was utterly charming. Nothing was too much trouble, and their interest in our enjoyment and well being was incredible.
There is a huge choice of accommodation in Marrakech, and we chose this after reading tripadvisor reviews. It really was the perfect choice. We were able to walk to all the sights in the city that we wanted to see and return to the calm and beautiful surroundings of the Riad.
The breakfasts were very good and served whenever and wherever one wished. The roof terrace was perfect for taking some lovely afternoon sun.
In every aspect this came up to our expectations and exceeded in many areas.
Hope to go back again, and would consider nowhere else.
Thanks again to all concerned for a perfect trip.

We chose this Riad Kniza, for the history that belongs to it, it is not a hotel, but a small museum furnished with all its original local traditions, the owner an antique dealer who has been able to carefully furnish every corner for which I was sure in the choice, but I guarantee you that we were impressed,This hotel, besides being fantastic with a perfect staff, has made us an impeccable service, Arrived at a late hour around 24.30 after their car came to pick us up at the airport, mr. Salma welcomed us in a wonderful way, immediately serving us a mint tea with almond biscuits, the impact was too nice we felt pampered already on our arrival ..., At the sight of the room we were struck by the furniture and by how much attention to detail.
We advise you to stay at least once in this splendid Riad Kniza, you will be thrilled ... and have breakfast served on the terrace ... as you enter the lobby of the Riad there is an incredible silence, and the scents and aromas of its interior will assault you, not to mention the petals of red and white roses that adorn the fountain of the central patio .. We will definitely return there are places where emotions remain inside and Riad Kniza is one of them .. thanks to Salma and Fatiha ... and the whole team of Kniza

We spent 5 nights at the Riad Kniza and it was fabulous. I spent some time looking at lots of different places to stay but settled on this because of its excellent reviews and beautiful rooms. We were not disappointed. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we had a perfect stay. The breakfast on the terrace every morning was a pure treat, especially as you could order it at whatever time you fell out of bed! The rooms are all very tasteful and feel like a scene out of a movie set, full of promise and authenticity.
If you are looking for something that feels like an oasis of calm after the crazy medina and souk this is it.
You are around a 20 minute walk from the centre of Marrakesh but that suited us perfectly because we felt it was more peaceful and gave us an appreciation of other areas.
We are already planning a return visit later in the year. Thank you all at Riad Kniza!
