Staying at the Intercontinental Marseille Hôtel Dieu was an absolute delight. The hotel is housed in a stunning historic building with a grand presence, beautifully restored and thoughtfully modernized inside. From the moment we arrived, the staff were welcoming—especially the front desk and parking attendants who seamlessly handled our check-in and car service. While enjoying a drink at the restaurant, I asked about the local specialty, bouillabaisse, and within minutes received a handwritten note listing three nearby restaurants where I could try it. The location couldn’t be better—right on the old port, just steps from the square. Walking around Marseille was so convenient, and everything felt effortlessly smooth. This place truly delivers on comfort, charm, and hospitality. A perfect stay—definitely worth returning to.

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.

Staying at Radisson Blu Hotel, Marseille Vieux Port was an absolute highlight of my trip.

The room was spacious, clean, and beautifully designed with modern touches; the bed was incredibly comfortable, and I slept like a baby thanks to excellent soundproofing.

Staying at Crowne Plaza Marseille - le DÔME last night was a real highlight! I was in room 404 and 717, located at the corner ends of the floor—though the rooms are triangular in shape, they felt surprisingly spacious and not cramped at all. The room was immaculately clean, with all amenities in perfect working order, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. The staff went above and beyond with their hospitality—friendly, efficient, and always ready to help. Sure, the immediate neighborhood isn’t the most glamorous (more local and residential), but it’s just a 1.5-kilometer walk to the Palais Longchamp, which is absolutely worth the stroll. You get a genuine feel for the city while enjoying a peaceful pace. Overall, this hotel offers excellent value, especially if you’re looking to explore Marseille on foot. I’d definitely come back and recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

I stayed at Best Western Plus Hotel la Joliette in Marseille and was truly impressed with the overall experience.

What really stood out was the exceptional service; staff were friendly, helpful, and always ready to assist with a smile. The hotel’s location is excellent—just a short metro ride from the city center, making it easy to explore major attractions.

I've stayed at Novotel Marseille Vieux-Port multiple times, and each visit has been excellent. The staff greeted me warmly with genuine smiles, making the check-in experience welcoming from the start. The room was spacious and impeccably clean—every corner felt fresh and well-maintained. What really stood out was the complimentary mini-bar; having free snacks and drinks available was a huge plus, especially after long days exploring the city. Located just steps away from the old port, it’s incredibly convenient for walking to restaurants, shops, and attractions. I appreciate how quiet and comfortable the room was despite being in a central area. The value for money is outstanding, and I’ll definitely be returning.

Absolutely recommend this place! The hostess was incredibly kind and helpful—truly one of the most welcoming and warm-hearted hosts I've ever encountered. She genuinely cares about her guests' comfort and experience. The garden is stunning and peaceful, adding such a lovely touch to the stay. It's well-located—just a 45-minute walk to the old port, which made exploring the area enjoyable and relaxing. Every detail felt thoughtfully considered, from the cozy rooms to the charming outdoor space. I’d stay here again in a heartbeat and would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting 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.

Staying at Un Mas en Ville in Marseille was an absolute delight. The location is perfect—right in the heart of the city, just steps away from the vibrant Cour du Soleil and with easy access to both the metro and underground parking. From the moment we arrived, the warm welcome made us feel right at home. The hotel’s design is stunning—like a hidden riad with its charming interior courtyard and serene pool area. We only stayed one night to catch a match, but the ambiance was so inviting that I’d happily return for a romantic getaway. Our Pirate Room was quirky and fun, full of character and charm. Every detail felt thoughtfully curated. This place truly offers a unique, memorable experience—highly recommend for anyone visiting Marseille.

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 Ibis Budget Marseille Vieux-Port is perfectly located—walking distance to the old port and all the main sights, making it super convenient for exploring the city. Breakfast was solid: fresh fruit, cold cuts, and a good selection of pastries. However, the room lacked bedside tables, which made it awkward to place personal items. The bathroom didn’t come with hand towels or a hairdryer—both had to be requested at reception and returned immediately. If you wanted to keep the dryer, you had to leave your ID as collateral, which felt a bit odd. Our bed was very noisy and stiff, and the pillows were overly soft with no shape, so they weren’t great for comfort. If you’re sensitive to noise or have trouble sleeping, avoid weekends—the building is right above bars and restaurants, and even with double-glazed windows, street sounds carried through clearly. Overall, the price-to-quality ratio is fair for a budget stay, but the rooms are definitely basic. It’s best suited for travelers looking for a simple, no-frills overnight option rather than a relaxing retreat.
