Hôtel Mercure Marseille Canebière Vieux-Port

10/10 Excellent

"Good experience Just a note on the location. Very busy, buzzing part of the city. To have in mind when booking"

Hotel Marseille Centre Gare Saint-Charles by Accor

8/10 Good

"The hotel has a good location being very close to the station. It was an interesting walk into town but Marseilles has some different sights and smells. The lift kept breaking down and we were never sure when we would have to use the stairs to the seventh floor. The hotel had a good air conditioning system and was quiet."

Hôtel Amista Marseille

10/10 Excellent

"We loved staying here as the room was air conditioned and it was very hot outside. Comfortable large bed, soft sheets and feather pillows, a wonderful shower, fluffy towels, modern tv so we could easily watch Netflix and a quiet room meant we could totally relax. The breakfast was delicious and more like brunch as there was so much for 18€. Location was excellent, easy to walk to Vieux Port and all the places to eat and drink were nearby. Highly Recommended"

Hôtel Du Sud Vieux Port

8/10 Good

"As a solo traveller I look want a safe, friendly, comfortable, clean room and I found this little no thrills hotel ticked all those boxes. It was incredibly economical and was right in the middle of the action of the old port within walking distance of everything and connected well by public transport. Safe neighbourhood with lots of eateries, places to visit. The staff were very friendly and polite and willing to help anytime. The only negative was that breakfast was not available but to be honest there were tons of really great cafes within walking distance . The air conditioner was not the best but its central air so bring a small portable bedside fan if you wish. Room quiet at night despite busy outside. Very comfortable bed and nice separate bathroom . The wall socket did not work in my room that was the only real bummer."
