Even if I had very high expectations I was totally satisfied with my stay at Riad Kniza. The property is gorgeous and very well located but what we liked best was the staff.

Alan (my husband) and I had a most memorable end to our holiday in Morocco. We are only sorry that we only stayed two days in Marrakech. Riad Kniza is superb, excellent service, palatial, and we will definitely be back.
