"Haj Mohamed has made his name both as one of Marrakech ’s top antique dealers and, for over three decades, one of its top tour guides, with clients ranging from U.S. presidents to celebrities like Nicole Kidman and Brad Pitt. Both of his passions come together at his 11-room hotel, which he crafted with teams of skilled artisans and furnished himself. Set in an 18th-century riad, it features a traditional central courtyard and pool as well as warm, intimate guestrooms, complete with rich textiles, carved wooden doors, and cushy, low-slung seating. The same welcoming aesthetic can be found in the hotel’s common spaces, which include a small plunge pool, various pillow-laden lounges, a rooftop terrace, and a courtyard where guests can enjoy live music. Riad Kniza is also known for its gourmet Moroccan restaurant, which features just nine tables and requires reservations at least one day in advance, as the chef purchases ingredients fresh from the markets each morning."

It is difficult to find something to say that hasn't already been said about this amazing family run Riad. Therefore a few words which I hope will encourage you to book and go and experience for yourself. What a beautiful calm oasis in the heart of the Medina . A gorgeous sanctuary after a full on, busy and noisy day wandering the streets and souks. The staff team, kind, helpful and always smiling. Nothing was too much trouble. The rooftop space perfect for relaxing with a drink in the evening as the call to prayer echoes around the neighbourhood. Food incredible and very generous servings; almost too much, however we were pleased to hear nothing is wasted so any un eaten food is offered to people living on the streets. |Mr Mohamed (the owner) is often around the Riad and always happy to share stories and his extensive knowledge of Moroccan culture and history. A visit to the museum across the lane with Mr Mohamed is a must. We loved Riad Kniza, it is far more than a place to stay, it is a place to experience, to take time and cherish. |We hope to visit again

Great location a couple of minutes walk inside the medina walls from where we were dropped off. It’s an oasis in the craziness of Marrakesh. All the staff we met were really helpful, friendly and efficient. Our room was lovely, comfortable with good air conditioning We had a sofa bed downstairs and a large bed upstairs with an en suite. Breakfast was a traditional affair and massive and very beautifully laid out. We had it on the roof terrace which was lovely. Don’t miss out on their art gallery which the owner opened us for is specially. Would definitely stay here again in Marrakesh

Arrived for a 2day stay after our tour ended and right from the time the door was opened it was wow wow wow. The riad is a calm peaceful space after the rush and bustle of 2 previous days exploring Marrakech. The rooms we traditional in decor of a riad ,the beds extremely comfortable with great quality bed linen. The breakfast was nice and you could have it in a multitude of locations within the riad. We also ate both evenings in the riad and again the food was delicious and as we experienced throughout Morocco, plentiful. The day before we left i experienced the hamam and massage, it was very well done and extremely relaxing before we began our long journey home. The thing that for us was most outstanding in Riad Kniza was the staff nothing was to much and they were happy to chat and do whatever they could to ensure your total enjoyment. Special note goes to the evening staff at table service which would not be out of place in a Michelin starred establishment. We'll done all at Riad Kniza and thanks for having us.

I stayed 3 nights in this exquisite Riad which was booked by Atlas Desert Tours. The owner and staff went above and beyond to meet all of my needs. They offer meals delivered to your room, on the beautiful rooftop garden, or in their restaurant. All the meals were delicious and elegantly presented. I enjoyed the lovely pool which was very refreshing, as well as the Hammam and massage service offered. I also had a guided tour of the Berber Museum they have next door. Very informative and enlightening.

Our stay at Riad Kniza was truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, we felt like honored guests in a beautiful Moroccan home rather than just visitors at a hotel. The riad itself is stunning, with traditional architecture, elegant courtyards, and a calm atmosphere that makes you forget the busy medina outside.||Our room was spacious, comfortable, and full of authentic charm. Breakfast on the terrace was a highlight each morning — fresh, generous, and served with a smile. We also had dinner one evening at the riad, and it was one of the best meals we had in Marrakech.||The staff went above and beyond to make our stay special, helping us with tips for the city and always checking in to see if we needed anything.||If you want an authentic Moroccan experience with five-star comfort and hospitality, Riad Kniza is perfect.

Riad Kniza is pure magic — a jewel in the heart of Marrakech that perfectly blends historic Moroccan elegance with modern luxury. From the moment we arrived, we were treated like honored guests rather than hotel visitors. The staff’s warmth and attention to detail made our stay truly exceptional.||The riad itself is stunning: intricately carved woodwork, glowing lanterns, and peaceful courtyards filled with the scent of orange blossoms. Our suite was spacious, immaculate, and beautifully decorated — every corner radiates quiet sophistication. The rooftop terrace was our favorite spot for breakfast and evening tea, with panoramic views over the Medina and the Atlas Mountains in the distance.||What sets Riad Kniza apart, though, is its people. Every member of the team was gracious, kind, and eager to make our stay perfect. They anticipated our needs before we even asked — arranging transportation, recommending hidden gems for shopping, and preparing a romantic dinner under candlelight that we’ll never forget.||Breakfasts were divine: fresh fruit, Moroccan pancakes, homemade jams, and the best mint tea we’ve ever had. It’s easy to see why so many travelers call this riad a “home away from home.”||If you’re looking for an authentic yet luxurious Marrakech experience, Riad Kniza is simply unbeatable. We left with full hearts and can’t wait to return.

Decent location but rooms were not wow for the price. Smaller than comparable ones in this range. Front door service was great and the owner was a kind wonderful gentleman who will show you his private collection! The breakfast was goo but communication had its issues. Never had a correctly ordered breakfast the first few days. Definitely get the yogurt in this country. Room had no fridge so you had to ask them to store stuff for you, no coffee maker and we had to ask for water each day. Because its a riad, you will hear everyone opening and closing their doors late at night, and the conversations early in the morning. But thats normal in any Riad. Great rooftop for dining with plenty of plants and flowers.

Wow wow wow. You must stay here. It is just beautiful and so quiet and peaceful after the craziness of Marrakech. The staff are so welcoming and make you feel like home. The rooms are so luxurious. You will love the morning breakfast on the rooftop. The most special part of our holiday with lots of spoiling.
