New Hotel of Marseille

Staying at New Hotel of Marseille was an absolute delight from start to finish. The location is perfect—just a short walk from the city center and close to metro access, making it easy to explore everything Marseille has to offer. The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive throughout our visit, making us feel right at home. The room was stylish, clean, and thoughtfully designed with modern touches that added to the comfort. Breakfast was a highlight—fresh, delicious, and varied, with local French pastries and high-quality ingredients. Even the bathroom amenities stood out, featuring premium skincare products that felt luxurious. Everything about this hotel, from the decor to the service, reflects attention to detail and quality. It’s rare to find such a well-rounded experience, and we’ll definitely be returning when we come back to Marseille.

Les Bords de Mer

Stepping into this hotel feels like walking straight into a golden-hour seaside dream. The view from the room is breathtaking—open to endless waves shimmering in the sunlight, and even the bathroom is designed with natural light flooding in, making the space feel airy and serene. During the afternoon, the beachfront area buzzes with energy: young travelers lounging in the sun, strumming guitars, diving into the sea, or sharing beers—pure joy in motion. But when night falls, it transforms into something completely different: quiet, peaceful, just the gentle rhythm of waves lapping against the shore—a perfect white noise that helped me sleep deeply. Both the rooftop infinity pool and the indoor pool are excellent—each offering its own vibe, and I appreciated how thoughtfully they provided small baskets to keep towels dry and organized. I was pleasantly surprised by how close we were to the city center—just a few minutes’ drive away. Plus, right nearby is a well-known sunset dining spot, ideal for a memorable evening meal. The only downside? No on-site parking, which could be tricky if you’re arriving by car. Still, with such an incredible location, stunning views, and thoughtful touches throughout, this place is absolutely worth every penny.

It’s rare to find such a perfect blend of convenience, comfort, and charm in one place. I’d highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Marseille who wants to experience the city’s authentic vibe while enjoying a high-quality stay. Definitely coming back.

The room was spotless, the bedding incredibly comfortable, and the view from the window was breathtaking—right across from the snow-capped mountains.

Appart'hôtel Odalys City Centre Euromed

Staying at Odalys City Centre Euromed was an absolute highlight of my trip to Marseille. The location is unbeatable—right next to the Old Port, with easy access to public transportation and all the city's main attractions. I was in a spacious room with large windows that flooded the space with natural light, making it feel bright and airy. Even though the kitchenette is compact, it’s fully equipped and perfect for preparing breakfast or simple meals—great for saving money and enjoying a home-cooked start to the day. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the overall cleanliness and comfort exceeded my expectations. If you're looking for a convenient, well-located, and cozy base in Marseille, this hotel is absolutely worth considering.

Appart hôtel Maison Montgrand-Vieux Port

Staying at Maison Montgrand-Vieux Port in Marseille was mostly a positive experience. The apartment itself was clean, comfortable, and well-appointed—perfect for a short getaway. Its location near the Old Port made exploring the city easy and convenient, and the facilities were excellent overall. I was especially impressed by the receptionist the night before check-out. When I asked if we could extend our checkout to noon due to a long travel day, she kindly agreed without hesitation and made me feel genuinely welcome. Her warmth and professionalism stood out. Unfortunately, the next morning’s experience was quite different. When I arrived at the front desk at 11:45 AM to check out, the staff member there reacted coldly, scolding me for not checking out on time. He mentioned potential extra charges for staying past 12:00, though he eventually waived them—but his tone remained unfriendly. When I asked about my complimentary VIP drinks, instead of offering a simple explanation or a smile, he quickly scanned my card and pointed silently toward the bar with no courtesy. The stark contrast between the two interactions left me feeling uncomfortable and undervalued. A little kindness—a thank you, a smile, even a brief inquiry about how my stay was—could have made all the difference. It’s disappointing when such a great property is let down by a single negative interaction. Hope the team can work on consistency in guest service, because hospitality isn’t just about amenities—it’s about respect and human connection.

Villages Clubs du Soleil - Marseille

I’m giving this place a perfect 10 because it’s just so special. Originally an old maternity hospital, the building has been transformed into a unique luxury hotel with character and soul. Yes, the pool is small compared to the large petanque area, but honestly, that’s part of its charm—especially when you’re in Marseille! The high ceilings might feel a bit dramatic, but remember, we’re in one of the city’s most underserved neighborhoods—maybe even one of Europe’s poorest areas. Still, the atmosphere is peaceful, green, secure, and spotlessly clean. Meals are simple yet incredibly delicious, and the mix of guests from all over the world makes for a vibrant, welcoming vibe. Summer here is lively and full of energy—the staff go above and beyond to make you feel at home. Don’t miss the bar: great cocktails, fun little shows, and those amazing waffles and snacks if you’re not quite hungry for a full meal. And seriously, don’t stay cooped up inside—grab a bus, explore the city, and soak up the endless sunshine Marseille is famous for. Plus, it’s literally steps away from Gare Saint Charles, making travel super easy. This place isn’t just a hotel—it’s an experience.

Hôtel Marseille Centre Gare Saint-Charles

The location couldn't be better—right across from Marseille's Saint-Charles Train Station, just a two-minute walk from the door. Getting in and out of the city is effortless, especially if you're arriving by train. I stayed on the 8th floor, and the room was spacious with an amazing view of the Mediterranean Sea—waking up to that sight was unforgettable. The room itself was clean, modern, and well-equipped with everything we needed. The staff were friendly, helpful, and always ready to assist. From check-in to checkout, the experience was smooth and welcoming. This hotel offers excellent value for money and truly stands out. I’d definitely stay here again on my next visit to Marseille.

Toyoko INN Marseille Saint Charles

Staying at Toyoko Inn Marseille Saint Charles was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Located just minutes away from the ferry port, it made our arrival and departure super smooth—especially helpful when we needed to hit the A7 highway the next morning. The staff at reception were warm, welcoming, and always ready to assist with any request. Our room was spotless and well-designed, with a functional bathroom that included a bathtub—a nice touch for relaxation after a long day. The free continental breakfast served from 7 AM was a real highlight: fresh coffee, a good variety of breads, jams, fruits, and pastries—all perfect for starting the day right. Parking underground was available at €15 per night, which is reasonable for the convenience and security it offers. Overall, this hotel delivers excellent value, comfort, and service. I’d highly recommend it to anyone visiting Marseille, especially those traveling by car or arriving via ferry.

Alex Hotel & Spa

Staying at Alex Hotel & Spa in Marseille was a pleasant surprise—its proximity to the train station is incredible. Just a 200-meter walk from the station, it’s super convenient for getting around the city. The room is compact but well-organized; two large 28-inch suitcases fit, though space is tight when fully unpacked. Breakfast met European three-star standards—plenty of options, fresh pastries, and local touches. What really stood out was the small courtyard: peaceful, quiet, and perfect for morning coffee or a quiet moment. Plus, most major attractions are within a 20-minute walk or short transit ride. Great location, solid value, and a welcoming vibe. Definitely my top pick for future trips to Marseille.

The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, going out of their way to ensure a comfortable stay.
