Hotel Maison Montgrand, Marseille
More photosExpert reviews
“With its lifestyle boutique, restaurant, vast garden and frequent Friday night parties, Hotel Maison Montgrand is a Marseille tastemaker. The 49 rooms are done in minimalist style with smooth woods and muted tones.”
Featured in New York Times’ 36 hours in Marseille.
“This bargain concept hotel shouts Marseille at every turn. Sited in two sister apartment blocks, simple new rooms share a massive communal space in the reception townhouse. This funky area features a nail bar, a perfumery, an outdoor restaurant, and a pour-your-own-Provençal wine dispenser.”
“This one-of-a-kind hotel packs boutiques, cafés, perfumeries and sleeps into two lovingly converted 18th and 19th-century townhouses. It’s nuttily conceptual: a higgledy-piggledy ground floor boasts a tea salon, beach store, perfumery, café and a vast bamboo garden, for instance.”

Nice stay close to the old port
Great location - good clean accommodation. would have been nice to stay longer than 1 night. Breakfast was lovely.

Pleasant
The breakfast restaurant environment was good ( quiet, with little patio)
Breakfast they serve was little too expensive. They have bread, cakes, egg, and drinks. 18euros for precooked meal is too expensive.
The hotel room location is not the same as reception. This was not very convenient because I choose not to stay airb’b because I need reception to be close, this was little unfortunate though I already know after booking.

Pleasant
Very central and close to the port . Easy walking distance. Safe area to walk and explore . Room was clean and bed super comfy..and building and lift in good nic
Photos on sight give the impression of a lovely hotel with rooms.leading or looking onto a leafy sunny courtyard. This is not the case . Rooms are in buildings adjacent and across the road to the breakfast courtyard area in the photos . Standard Rooms have limited clothes space, so pack light

Fabulous
We loved the location, and we were desperate for room for 1 night.
The staff were exceptional, and the buffet breakfast very good value.
Can't recall anything.

Facilities good. Good area to stay. Value for money. Little disappointed in customer service.
Nice hotel, clean and comfortable.
Room was not ready by 3pm and had to wait over an hour.
Staff said they would come and find me to let me know room was ready - they however did not.

Great location, friendly staff, perfect for a one night stay in central Marseille
Staff were very friendly and happy to help out

Great but a little uncared for
Beautiful terrace for breakfast, nice room, great shower and big bathroom in the appartment.
Walls were paper thin, could hear the person in the next room very clearly. Side table was broken and coat hooks were hanging off the wall.

Very good
We had a 6 person room. Bunk beds for the children and a large double for us. Our children are in their teens and found their beds a little uncomfortable and in very close proximity to the room door. There were not ample sockets for such a modern hotel. Milk was not provided with the rest of the tea and coffee facilities.
The main hotel is simple but very pretty. Sadly we found the breakfast to be terrible.
The breakfast was very basic. The bread was stale and in all felt a fit like someone had done a quick dip around the supermarket 3 days before. It did not feel fresh. Luckily breakfast was included and im glad we didnt pay for it otherwise it would have felt like paid cafe prices for what was obviously straight out of carrefour.

A good base to explore Marseille and surrounding areas.
Excellent location!
Small room size, and need more staff available to serve beverages in the garden as I was not served and therefore went to Starbucks for a coffee instead.

classy feel to main area and great location but room felt a little municipal
location was good, lovely and quiet, felt private and secure
family room was ground floor and a little dark feeling. top bunk of bunk beds was not great and 15yr old was falling through gaps so maybe only suitable for under 10’s.

Fodors + 2 more“Housed in Marseille’s majestic 18th-century Hôtel Dieu, a beloved landmark built according to plans by Jacques Hardouin-Mansart, architect to Louis XIV, this place has been transformed into a gleaming palace. The hotel interiors are luminous and comfortable, accented with large amphorae, artworks, and photographs of the city by local artists.”

Mama Shelter, Marseille
Frommers + 2 more“Tucked into the hipster cours Julien district, this unique hotel is the brainchild of designer Philippe Starck. Rooms are bright and cool, from the modular furnishings to the wall-mounted Macs offering dozens of free on-demand movies. Downstairs, Egyptian graffiti artist Tarek has tagged the industrial-chic restaurant’s ceiling.”
Aparthotel Le Couvent, Marseille
New York Times“Marseille’s most discreet hotel might be Le Couvent. Occupying an unmarked 17th-century stone building, the sprawling mansion-like space has no restaurant, spa or other amenities — just 10 stylish contemporary apartments outfitted with vintage pieces, art and books.”

Hotel Maison Saint Louis, Marseille
Lonely Planet“The stuccoed façade, wrought-iron balconies and ‘mini-museum’ of this charming hotel pay homage to its 19th-century origins. Each of the rooms is unique – from the ‘Kenya’ (dedicated to Satao, a Kenyan elephant killed by poachers in 2014) to the ‘Yorkshire’, inspired by an English cottage – and a few have little balconies.”
