Well located property and short walk from the central square. The airport pickup service is highly recommended for your arrival. It is only slightly more expensive than a taxi and is helpful for locating the property in the twisty narrow passageways of the Medina. Friendly and helpful staff that provided mint tea upon arrival and a great Moroccan breakfast. For lunch and dinner, eat like a local at the stalls in the main square or the snack bars surrounding them.

Bring earplugs if you're not an early riser. While the noise at the property itself isn't a problem, the local roosters and the muezzins in the nearby mosques will wake you up before sunrise without them.

Everything was great! From the moment we walked in the door, we were greeted by the service, our room was great, the whole place in general is very beautiful and well decorated. Many thanks to the staff who always made sure we were comfortable and also gave us coordinates so we wouldn't get lost in the city. Breakfast was very small - coffee/tea, juice, pancakes, omelette, yogurt and fruit, but it was enough. The location is a 3-minute walk from the market. At first it was difficult to accelerate, but after that it was easy to find. I liked the roof terrace the most, where I spent every evening enjoying the beautiful view.

I recently stayed at Riad Magellan in Marrakech and had a delightful experience. The breakfast was delicious, offering a variety of tasty options. The central location was convenient for exploring the city. The standout aspect of my stay was the excellent service provided by the manager, Adil. His friendliness and helpfulness added a personal touch to the experience. He also helped us organise our desert tour which was really good in the end. We were also able to store our luggage at the riad during our trip. We were also able to book a massage in the Riad, this was also very nice. My overall stay at Riad Magellan was perfect, making it a highly recommended choice for visitors to Marrakech. Thank you Adil and the Magellan staff for the great experience. Finally, another good point was that we could pay the fees and for the massage with credit card. Quite a rarity for Morocco.

Although the alley leading to the hotel initially seemed intimidating, it proved to be safe.

The staff here were so lovely and helpful, and they cooked us a truly delicious dinner (upon request) for our first night as we were arriving late. The roof terrace is really comfy and has beautiful plants and views of the mountains. Our room was super clean and comfortable too. The staff speak french but not much English (not a problem for us as I speak french, but the staff used Google translate to speak to my friend which was very thoughtful!)

Everything about the riad was perfect, but it's quite hard to find initially. They could do with a few more signs off the main street as it's very tucked away. But that also makes it a lovely peaceful location, and we always felt safe wandering down the little alley, even after dark (two women, late twenties).

The roof, the room was beautiful, Mohammed was wonderful, homemade varied breakfasts, quiet and relaxed. Beautifully decorated riad with a few places to relax in. There are communal books, a chess board. I would definitely recommend this riad to anyone :)

Our bed sheets were not changed. On the first day we were asked if we wanted them to be changed to which we declined, but on the second I noticed that mine were dirty but hadn’t been changed. This may have been due to a lack of misunderstanding. The breakfast was a little small on day 2 but overall very pleased with our stay 🩷 The lights were very confusing in our room and one didn’t work in our bedroom and one didn’t work in the bathroom. There was a slight bad smell in our bathroom.

The riad wasn’t far from the tourists attractions, was clean and quiet. The staff were really welcoming and we fell like being at home. We were really well looked after. Mustapha welcomed us on the first night with a big smile. Our son (14) really enjoyed the roof terrace. Sunbathing on the roof terrace in January was something of a wow for him.

Great location and wonderful staff. Freshly made breakfast was really nice way to start the day. The decor is elegant and pleasing throughout, our room is spacious and clean.

It's slightly odd that there is a high window open to the 2nd-floor balcony that other guests can technically look in, I am sure no one did but the sound travels at times and makes the room feel less private.

Well situated, close to the central square. A nice and quiet riad after a busy day in the Medina. We loved the shower! The staff were very friendly and the host held a good briefing upon our arrival to help us acclimatize ourselves.

Room door is shut using the traditional bolt but doesn’t lock. Although the riad’s interior is monitored and there’s always a staff member around, we’d have preferred having the option to lock the door when going out. Lastly, there’s room for improvement in terms of room amenities: sockets near the beds weren’t working and a solution serving as a luggage rack could be useful.

Breakfast was lovely and served in the courtyard. Host was responsive. Riad was easy to find and close to everything. Terrace was pleasant in the late evening. The staff were helpful and friendly.

There was building banging next door so our peaceful morning on the terrace was sadly disturbed, but this was no fault of the Riad.

I had such a relaxing stay at Riad Magellan, thanks especially to all the staff, who were absolutely wonderful. Everyone I met was friendly, helpful and knowledgable and assisted me with making different arrangements (e.g. spa, transports, dinner, even telephone!). The riad is in a great location for exploring the medina and further afield, on foot. Access was via a quiet lane in the medina, which is lit at night. I was given a map of the Medina which was extremely helpful, especially for shops, museums, and cafes. Everything is beautifully decorated, and the roof terrace is really relaxing. The breakfast had a great choice of food and was really generous. The riad is so calm, that even in the middle of Morocco making an enormous success in the 2022 Football World Cup, I heard nothing!

For English guests it would also be good to provide a kettle & coffee/tea in the room. The rooms do not lock by key on the outside (you can only lock when you are inside the room), because there is always a member of staff on guard, and only a handful of rooms, I always felt safe about my belongings. There is a safe in the room (large enough for a tablet if I remember correctly).
