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

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.

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.

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!

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. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hat alles getan um den Aufenthalt so angenehm wie möglich zu machen.

A Quiet Peaceful Refuge

in the middle of the old city. The location is unusual and one should make sure to obtain in advance from the riad a map with specific instructions for finding the location. Also, keep in mind that luggage must be carried through the narrow streets of the medina, then through a maze of desolate passageways. Not a problem for me, but may be for some folks. Wifi did not work in my room which was an inconvenience. Overall, it is a nice hotel operated by nice people.

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!

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.
