My wife and I have just returned from our first trip to Morocco. We spent eight nights at the Riad Kniza in Merrakech from 30 April to 8 May 2013. We decided to spend our entire vacation at the Riad Kniza because we wanted a more in-depth experience as opposed to traveling around Morocco. We read many reviews of the... More

I am staying in Riad Kniza next week. I've never been to Morocco before, so I've had so many questions (literally - I've exchanged 22 emails with the wonderful staff at Riad Kniza) and they've already gone above and beyond to help me plan my stay. We'll be spending 4 nights at the Riad Kniza, and got a wonderful package... More

My husband and I have recently come back after spending 8 nights at the Riad Kniza. From the subtle aroma of jasmine that permeates the communal areas on the ground floor to the exquisite furniture and soft furnishing, to the beautifully engraved ceilings, we can't fault this beautiful place. The staff was absolutely brilliant, looking after all our needs (including... More

I brought my husband here for his 50th last September and have been meaning to write a review ever since. We stayed on a 4 night break booked direct with the Riad. The service was faultless with attentive staff but not obtrusive and yes it was like being privileged guests in someones home but that made it all the more... More

My husband and I and three other couples were guests of Riad Kniza from April 26- 29. Everything was perfect. All of our rooms were beautiful. The staff are amazing. The food sublime. It deserves every bit of praise it has received . Karen Cole

My husband and I stayed in Riad Kniza from May 1-4 and loved it - this Riad was one of the highlights of our 10-day trip to Morocco. We walked through the souk to get to the Riad - it's very overwhelming for a first-timer - turned down a tiny winding Derb (dead-end) and arrived at the front door. From... More

I feel terribly guilty writing about the location of riad kniza as it is not something the owners have a say in but I as an animal lover I wish someone had included it in their review before I stayed. It is situated just off a street another guest nicknamed 'bomb alley'. It is not the tourist face of Marrakech... More

We came here after our trek in the Atlas Mountains purely to rest for four nights. Riad Kniza, a beautiful, traditional riad with the bonus of a small indoor swimming pool, was an excellent choice. What made our stay so very memorable, however, was its superb staff. While always managing to remain unobtrusive, they seemed to have a sixth sense... More

How lucky were we to choose this superb riad!! It was totally brilliant in every respect! We felt so special and utterly spoilt, as the service by all staff was impeccable at all times. We had a wonderful meal in the restaurant, the roof terrace was fantastic with plenty of seating in both sun and shade and the pool was... More

Simply wonderful. From the checkin procedure: "sit down in this cool alcove and have some mint tea" to the checkout procedure, which felt more like saying good-bye to old friends. Let's not kid ourselves; it's not cheap. But the air fare was so much less than to other far-flung destinations that the overall package price was very reasonable. It was... More
