Fantastic, tranquil and characterful
Pros: A peaceful and relaxing location but only a short taxi ride from the centre, great for families. Madame Khadija provided some delicious breakfasts and evening meals, working around our itinerary. The house is enormous and well kept. We had some very hot days but air conditioning plus the architecture meant it was comfortable. The communal pool was excellent and we mostly had it to ourselves.
Cons: The master bedroom is great but is some distance from the kids rooms on the other side of the internal courtyard- so perhaps better with older children, or bring a monitor.

Just the oasis we needed
Pros: The room was beautiful. We could hardly believe how large the rooms were, as well as the superb private outdoor space, and all were superbly decorated in authentic Moroccan style. Our in-room breakfast was lovely and Khadija, who looked after us during our stay, was always friendly and helpful. The grounds of the compound were kept in great condition and all door staff were super friendly - our kids enjoyed their daily high-five!
Cons: The only thing that was a shame was that the swimming pool was not very clean. Our kids loved swimming in it but, possibly because it is not peak season, the bottom of the pool was very dirty. Visitors should also bear in mind that is costs around 150 dirhams to get into the medina by grand taxi (for a family of 5). This isn't necessarily a negative but it is a significant financial consideration to budget for if you are staying more than a few days.

Pros: Great stay in La Maison Ayda. The house is very spacious and well decorated and equipped. The residence has 24/7 private security and has lush gardens that are very nicely kept by a full crew of gardeners and a large pool. You feel like in an oasis of peace and tranquility just next to the buzz and chaos of Marrakesh’s old and new town. Distance to the medina (old town) is barely 10-15 minutes. Driss is reliable and nice driver with a large car and speaks good English and French. It is an optimal way to move around the city, especially for a large family. We had at our service a cleaning lady/cook (Hadidja) who kept the house tidy and clean and made delicious home made breakfast and dinner for us. We just had to heat it in the pan when we got back home in the evening. All in all, a great place to stay for a family in Marrakesh with very good value for money. Thank you!

Everything was excellent.
Pros: Everything was great. The pool was very warm, the area very quiet, the gardens impressing. The best part was the staff. The housekeeper was extremely friendly and serviceminded. We hired the driver, Driss, to pick us up from the airport and to drive us around the city. This was a great solution for us - a family of 6. It would have been stressfull to use local taxis and Driss speaks very well English and knows his way around town. Prices are fair. We highly reccomend the accomondation and the staff and will be sure to come back.

reliable driver made for blissful travels
Pros: Driss is a fantastic driver who is really friendly,reliable and accommodating. He is available on hand both day and night and charges fair and reasonable prices. Using Driss is convenient as it eliminates having to use local taxi services, who often try to overcharge tourists. Using Driss to go to local attractions and restaurants made our stay in Marrakech relaxing and stress free and would highly recommend using his taxi service when visiting the city.
Cons: there was no on-site facility to purchase water or food
