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.

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.
