Staying at Les Appartements du Vieux Port was an absolute delight! The apartment is spacious and beautifully designed, offering a perfect blend of comfort and local charm. Located just steps away from the Old Port, everything is so convenient—walking distance to restaurants, cafes, and the waterfront. I loved having such a large room with a great view, making it feel like home during my entire stay. The host was super responsive and helpful throughout, and the place was spotless upon arrival. It’s rare to find such a well-located, stylish, and affordable option in Marseille. I’ll definitely be booking here again on my next visit—highly recommend for travelers who value space, location, and authentic vibes.

Located just steps from the train station in Marseille, this charming B&B is a hidden gem. Despite the proximity to the station—which might worry some—this place exudes warmth and character. The rooms are quiet, cozy, and beautifully decorated with unique, thoughtfully curated details that give each space a personal touch. I’ve stayed at several 4-star hotels that didn’t come close to matching the quality and comfort here. The location is super convenient, especially if you’re arriving by rail or planning to explore the city. I highly recommend it—excellent value, great atmosphere, and a truly memorable stay.

Let’s start with this: this isn’t a hotel, not an apartment, and definitely not a proper room—it’s essentially a converted garage. Finding the entrance was tricky, as everything was hidden and confusing. Once inside, after navigating what felt like a maze to get the key, we stepped into a tiny space immediately hit by a strong musty smell. We had four people booked for a 4-person room, but the layout was chaotic—right by the bed was a completely open shower stall with no privacy, followed by a toilet so small you couldn’t even turn around. The only furniture was a small non-reclining sofa, a kitchenette, and a wall-mounted bed—all crammed into one tight area. We sat down on the sofa, exhausted from travel and searching all day, when suddenly a large cockroach crawled out from under the cabinet straight toward us. Naturally, we filmed it immediately—we weren’t staying. We packed up our bags in under ten minutes and left. By then it was already dark, and with no response from the platform until the next morning, we had to scramble to find another place to stay. Most options were fully booked or didn’t accept cash (we didn’t have foreign cards). We managed to secure accommodation through friends while keeping in touch with customer support. The owner refused to refund our payment for two nights, claiming we’d already stayed and hadn’t contacted them directly. After days of back-and-forth emails, no refund came. I can’t recommend this property at all—photos are misleading, and the host is clearly dishonest. That said, the platform did help by crediting us back one night’s cost in points, which was a small relief.

I arrived late in Marseille and had no idea about the city, so I ended up booking this place without much research. The moment I walked in, I regretted it—extremely dirty, musty smell, and I even saw pests in the room. It was an awful experience from start to finish. The location is okay, close to the train station, but everything else falls short. The staff didn’t seem helpful, and the room looked like it hadn’t been cleaned properly in weeks. I felt sick just staying there—literally couldn’t stand it for more than one night. If you're visiting Marseille, avoid this hotel. There are far better options with better hygiene and service. Don’t make the same mistake I did.

I stayed at Hotel Manon from August 8 to 12, 2023—mostly because every other option was fully booked. My first night arrived around 8:30 PM, and the room was dim, outdated, and frankly not clean at all. The hallway had a strong, unpleasant smell. During the night, I went to the bathroom and opened the sink—immediately out crawled a cockroach. It was disgusting. The next morning, I cleaned the sink with wipes just to avoid touching it again. When I mentioned this to the hotel owner, he shrugged it off, saying guests were cooking in the rooms and he hadn’t had time to clean up. He promised a different room for the next night—which I did get. It had a bedside table and TV, but the cleanliness issue remained. Nothing happened the second night, but on the third, as I stepped into the bathroom before turning on the light, something brushed past my ankles. I called the manager, who claimed he saw nothing and told me to leave the light on all night to keep pests away. On the final morning, another cockroach appeared—this time crawling up the wall right above the bed. I left the hotel with immense relief. I will never stay here again, and I absolutely do not recommend it to anyone.

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.

Staying at La Villa Blanche for five nights with my partner was an absolute highlight of our trip to Marseille. Nestled on the hills just outside the city, it offers a peaceful retreat with breathtaking views—serene and refreshing, especially when you're escaping the busy urban vibe. Though we couldn’t fully experience its summer magic due to timing, I can only imagine how perfect it must be in warmer months. The hosts, Williams and Mireille, were incredibly attentive and thoughtful, offering helpful tips and genuine hospitality that made us feel welcome. Breakfast was outstanding—a generous spread of high-quality local treats, served in abundance, setting the tone for each day perfectly. Our room, though modest in size, was spotlessly clean and well-equipped: premium toiletries, a mini-fridge stocked with free drinks, and a wonderful hot tub that added a real touch of luxury. The spacious private terrace with loungers was ideal for relaxing under the sun or enjoying quiet evenings. Parking is available nearby in a secure, private area, and key access gives guests full flexibility to enjoy the space freely. The hosts remain reachable by phone if needed—always ready to assist. At this price point, the value is excellent. For anyone seeking a calm, authentic stay with great service and charm, this villa is a top recommendation.

Our romantic getaway was absolutely perfect! From the moment we arrived, the staff, especially Christophe, made us feel so welcome—he even met us at the airport and escorted us all the way to Velodrome. The apartment was spacious, beautifully furnished, and incredibly comfortable, with a great location just steps from everything we wanted to explore. It’s rare to find such a thoughtful and personalized experience, and we couldn’t have asked for more. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend this place to any couple looking for a memorable stay in Marseille.

Staying at Massilia Hôtel was an absolute highlight of my trip to Marseille! The location is perfect—just a short walk from the city center and close to metro access, making it super easy to explore everything. The hotel itself feels calm and well-maintained, with clean, comfortable rooms and a friendly, helpful staff. What really stood out was the free parking—huge plus for travelers arriving by car. It’s not just convenient, it’s a great value. Whether you're here for sightseeing or business, this place delivers on every level. I’d definitely stay again and highly recommend it!

Staying at Zenitude Hôtel Résidences Marseille Saint-Charles was an absolute highlight of my trip to Marseille. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from the train station, making it super convenient for exploring the city or catching trains. I booked a studio with a sofa bed, and it transformed perfectly into a comfortable sleeping space—spacious and cozy, ideal for a relaxed stay. The kitchenette with a countertop was a real game-changer; I could prepare simple meals or grab a quick snack without leaving the apartment, which saved time and money. Safety wasn’t a concern at all—the building felt secure, staff were friendly, and the area was quiet yet well-connected. Everything about this place felt thoughtfully designed for travelers who want comfort, convenience, and a home-like atmosphere. Highly recommend this hotel for both business and leisure visitors to Marseille.

Staying at Radisson Blu Hotel, Marseille Vieux Port was an absolute highlight of my trip. The location couldn’t be better—right next to the historic Old Port, with easy access to public transport and walking distance to top attractions and local eateries. 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. Breakfast was a real treat—fresh pastries, local jams, hot drinks, and a great variety to kickstart the day. Everything from the service to the amenities felt premium without feeling overpriced. 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.
