Lovely riad in the medina
Amazing Riad, very well located minutes away from the main places but also very quiet. Supportive and caring staff made our holiday special. I would definitely come back!

Relaxing break
Spent a few nights over New Year doing yoga and seeing sights. Very close to Soukes and main attractions. Staff all very friendly and helpful. You need to arrange transfer from airport with Riad as hard to find on your own. Hidden away down alleys which are well lit at night. Lovely rooftop to enjoy the sun and relax. Great to be so close to the bustle though.

Riad with character!
This is a small riad with a lot of character and atmosphere! Very centrally located close to Jmaa el Fnaa. Fantastic dining room with an open fire place. Great roof terrace. Lovely court yard for e.g. yoga. Great welcoming and service at all times. Only draw back, temperamental wifi. You should also know there is no TV, if that is important to you. The whole riad is very homely and nurturing. I would love to come back!

My Favourite Riad in all of Morocco
Riad Magellan was my favourite Riad in all of Morocco. It is ideally located in the heart of the Medina, but in a quiet area and all the main sights are a very easy walking distance. The staff were the most engaging and friendly. All the management speak English & French and were able to help with airport transfers, travel tips etc. They also provide their own map of the Medina which was much more helpful than Lonely Planet or Google Maps. I also ate the VERY BEST FOOD at the Riad. I had the 3 course dinner which you need to order in advance and it was the most delicious food I had in all of Morocco. It was so perfect and set the bar high for the rest of my trip. I would recommend that you ask them to organise an airport transfer for you as it is not easy to find on your own, but it also means a porter will take your luggage to the door (as cars cannot drive into the Medina) and you do not get hassled by anyone on your arrival.

a little gem in the middle of the lively city
Great location, wonderfully and artistic deco. Magellan is such a great little gem in the middle of the lively city. Phllippe the ower is such a knowledge and nice guy who gave us many help to arrange our room and even brought us to the phamercy when my husband was feeling a bit not well. I highly recommadate the place and hope we will visit it soon again.

Just back from 3 nights here- the owner and staff were very friendly and helpful. Riad in a great location with easy access to everywhere. Pre booked first night meal and the Chicken, Lemon and Olive Tagine was the best meal we had! Highly recommended .

calm amongst the madness of Marrakesh
How best to sum up the Riad, a calm amongst the noise and madness that is Marrakech from 5am till late. The green room was lovely, the breakfast was filling and a good start to every day, and the roof terrace has amazing views over the city and mosques to the Atlas mountains. Philippe and the staff made sure the experience was the best it could be from start to finish., a worthy 2012 TripAdvisor Riad winner.

A wonderful experience and an amazing staff
Our room was absolutely charming with an amazing bathroom and comfortable bed. We were greeted warmly by the manager and made to feel very welcome by all of the staff. The location is very convenient, but it took us awhile to navigate the souks and find our way to the central medina. We stayed at another riad after returning from the coast, and it was far inferior to the Magellan. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone.

Excellent, great location. Recommended.
I spent three nights and had a fabulous experience. I was initially a little dubious of the location in the middle of the medina with the entrance down a series of alleyways but this is half the charm. I would recommend arranging (airport) collection, I would not have found it by myself and the surcharge is very reasonable. On arrival I was given a mini map with instructions on how to find my way back from the main square and some of the local attractions. I was also given a mobile number to call if I got lost, with an offer to come and help me back! Even thought I was a single female I really didn't feel uncomfortable walking back, it appears to be a fairly residential area and there was always someone around and it's very well lit. The room was beautifully decorated, spacious and air conditioned. Despite being in the middle of the medina the courtyard and fabulous roof terrace were quiet and peacefull. Phillipe and team were attentive and extremely helpful and could arrange trips and help with onward travel. Breakfast was very good and although I didn't eat an evening meal it could be provided to order and looked great. I very much enjoyed my stay here, I plan to return and have no hesitation in recommending it.

Incroyable
Séjour incroyable du début à la fin! Riad incroyablement propre et idéalement situé. N'hésitez pas à accepté le transfert vers le riad pour faciliter l'arrivée. Vous pouvez également appelé Adil afin qu'il vous rejoigne un peu plus loin. Nous avons été accueilli par Adil (manager) qui est de très bon conseil pour tout ce qui se passe dans la médina. Fatima nous a proposé de faire un atelier cuisine Marocaine avec elle en français puis nous avons mangé notre repas au bord de la piscine. Idriss également très à l'écoute, il nous a proposé de prendre les petits déjeuners sur le toit terrasse chaque matin et nous a accompagné dans la médina à 4h du matin le jour du départ. Je recommande vivement.

Se llama Riad Magellan yoga y spa, y no sé si habrá yoga, no lo he visto, pero de spa nada de nada, el spa al que se refieren es un hammam público, que hay que pagar, y que está a 7 minutos andando Está lejos de la Plaza Jamal El Fna y hay que ir por unas callejuelas muy sucias y muy oscuras Lo bueno es que la gente es muy amable, en especial Adil y las dos chicas que están allí, y que está bastante limpio, son muy agradables y atienden bien Las camas durísimas, eso sí En resumen, no es lo que esperábamos de un cuatro estrellas "yoga y spa", nosotras esperábamos relajarnos en el spa, tras llegar cansadas de visitar cosas, y de eso nada, no existe el spa

Geschmackvoll eingerichtetes Riad in der Altstadt
Riad Magellan liegt mitten in der Altstadt von Marrakech. Das Management und die Angestellten sind sehr nett und äußerst bemüht um das Wohl ihrer Gäste. Das Riad ist sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Die Zimmer sind sehr schön und alles ist sehr gepflegt. Die schöne Dachterrasse mit bequemen Sitzmöbeln lädt zum Entspannen nach den Fußmärschen ein. Auch das Frühstück war sehr gut. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und können Riad Magellan uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen.

Direkt bei der Ankunft wurden wir sehr freundlich empfangen. Das Hotel ist sehr schön. Es hat eine tolle Dachterasse mit Blick über die Stadt und einen kühlen Innenhof um sich von den Exkursionen in die Altstadt zu erholen.

Beau riad simple mais classe
Joli Riad au coeur de la medina, difficile à trouver seul la première fois, on vous y amène pour 20 MAD. Service parfait, ambiance maison d'hôtes. Notre chambre (bleue) à 2 lits étant un peu bruyante (se trouvant au rez de chaussée), on nous a proposé une autre très belle chambre (verte) avec un lit double, merci!

Oase der Ruhe im turbulenten Marrakesch
Wir wurden im Riad Magellan mit einem wunderbaren marrokanischen Minztee begrüßt. Neben dem wirklich wunderschönen Zimmer gibt es viele Möglichkeiten zu entspannen. (Innenhof, Terasse, Leseecken) Das Essen im Riad ist absolut zu empfehlen. Es wird liebevoll angerichtet und schmeckt großartig. Das Riad befindet sich etwa 10 Min vom Jamal el Fna entfert und hat man sich den Weg durch die Gänge der Stadt erst mal gemerkt, dann ist er wirklich sehr einfach. Der Besitzer und das gesamte Personal hat uns mit Tipps versorgt und uns bei der Organisation unseres Aufenthaltes weitergeholfen.

lovely riad, friendly staff a bit difficult to navigate as there are different streets with similar names. But the petite map helped a lot.
