Absolutely loved staying here, our apartment was so so nice, super comfy bed and couch to hangout after a night out. The location is unbeatable and the ladies at the front desk are a delight, would never stay anywhere else when in Marseille, thank you 🙏♥️
“We spent 5 wonderful days in this hotel in Marseille and we are extremely satisfied with our stay. The room was very comfortable, always clean and perfectly organized. Every day we came back to find it spotless, with fresh sheets and towels, which made our stay even more enjoyable.
The location is ideal, just a 5-minute walk from the Old Port (vieux port). The hotel is quiet, very clean, and well equipped, with a modern gym and a professional workspace that is perfect for those who need to work or study during their stay.
I would like to thank Anna and Fanette in particular for their professionalism, warm smiles, and great kindness, which really made a difference during our stay. I also want to thank the entire reception team, whose names I don’t all know, but who were equally friendly and helpful. Finally, a big thank you to the housekeeping staff for keeping the hotel spotless.
We highly recommend this hotel 20,000%! You can book with confidence – you won’t be disappointed.

I needed to stay one night, and it was a great choice. Fantastically located hotel with a rooftop restaurant. There’s a capsule coffee maker in the room, which is cute.
The view on Marseille from the 7 (?) storied building is amazing. You also get a voucher for a free drink here in your room.
Service and reception very friendly and welcoming.
Location is convenient at the city centre.
Problem is the price performance of the rooms. Super small, ugly room for this price is unreasonable.
A complimentary drink that turned into a very bad experience because of the rooftop manager:
We were staying at the hotel and went up to the rooftop to enjoy the complimentary drink that had been left in our room. They were opening for dinner, so we tried to ask if we could sit down. The manager looked straight at us and turned her back to avoid us and immediately started seating people who were lining up.
We asked another waiter, who told us that “the manager had to confirm.” Since she kept ignoring us, we sat down at a table. Then, one of the waitresses came over and told us we couldn’t sit there, that we hadn’t asked the manager (which we had tried to do), and that we could only sit in a separate area with no view.
We went to that area, and right then the manager seated a family at the exact table we had just been told to take. When we said it was meant for us, she looked at us with clear disdain, made the family get up, and finally let us sit down. It was incredibly uncomfortable.
After finishing our drinks, we tried to pay for the extra water, but no one would help us. We insisted multiple times. One waitress, who was just clearing empty tables, told us someone else would come. When we insisted and the manager finally appeared, we overheard the other waitress telling her in French that we were being a pain for her.
The whole situation was ridiculous—snobbish looks, total disorganization, and a complete lack of professionalism. The manager clearly has a serious attitude problem and should not be working in a customer-facing role.
Beautiful hotel on a beautiful street just a few blocks from Vieux Port Metro Station.
The rooms were brand new, a little bit small but a really comfy bed and good shower pressure.
Really welcoming and informative staff.
Amazing breakfast at the rooftop with an incredible view of Marseille.
Yogurts, pastries, eggs, bacon, brie, juices, coffee as you like it. It was incredible.
We actually came back that very same day to get a drink at the rooftop as well.
Nice place. We stayed for 3 days. Perfect location, polite personal, everything is clean and cozy. In the room we had free coffee, tea, water. I’m definitely recommend
