Aparthotel Le Couvent, Marseille

We loved the location. An easy walk to the Old Port, but away from the traffic and all of the visitors. We had adjoining rooms with a comfortable sitting area and kitchen so we could spend time together when back at the hotel.

A little bit of noise in the morning on week days due to the school next door but it was happy noise from children playing..

Stylishly furnished and decorated and furnished. Well equipped and in a great position.

A beautiful building - historical yet modernised to an exceptionally high standard.

Great location. Very walkable immediate area. Stayed with a toddler who loves steps. There are a lot of steps! We used this as a home base for exploring the city, going to lots of beaches and making family meals.

Marseilles goes through a lot of phases throughout the day. Some of the artwork in the building might scandalize people who aren't ready for it.

All was good - personal, location, room cleaning... 5 min walk to the seafront, but place is quiet. The room has air conditioning.

Toilet without a door and even a curtain - it's modern but strange design.

The place was very spacious and the location was in the center of Marseille.

Lack of elevators

Perfect location which is few minutes walk away from the port. The place is stunning, chic and well decorated. Lots of space. Bed is also big and comfy. Magnificent view from shower. Landlord is very nice and helpful in person (even carried luggage for us!)

Would be nice if cooking oil can be provided to fully utilise the kitchen. But overall a very enjoyable experience.

Rather large modernized apartment in an old building in good location of Le Panier. Comfy beds, nice to have enough coffee for three night stay and a toaster, otherwise basic equipment in the kitchen but we did not come to cook there so it was fine. WiFi ok, AC ok.

We enjoyed our stay at Le Couvent in Marseille. It was conveniently located in Le Panier with easy access to Vieux Port, metro, and other parts of the city. The property is beautiful with comfortable beds and a large shower. There was a small kitchen for those who want to prepare meals. Be prepared to walk up some steps though as there is no elevator. I would stay here again.

The wifi was spotty and could be more consistent.

great facility - open and spacious. the kitchen had everything we needed. Huge shower- lots of hot water (perfect after hiking). Great location- perfect for exploring the port and old city. quiet area!

nothing - it was great.

Wifi is weak.......

very clean, spacious, had everything we needed, in a good location

Perfect home away from home, everything you might need for a comfortable stay with room to relax unlike a typical hotel room plus in a great location near the port but with the ambiance of Le Panier. Incredibly helpful and welcoming host.

Nothing

The apartment is in a very central yet quiet location. The host is very pleasant, and the apartment is clean and comfortable.

I would have liked an option for an earlier check-in and a later check-out.

Lovely and very amenable host. Location is excellent. Room is in a converted convent. Spacious and quiet. Excellent for couples.

TV didn't work but didn't really matter.

Location was excellent.

We were without hot water for showering for first day. We were left standing outside the property with another client for 20 minutes before someone came to the door to let us in.

The property is beautiful, quirky and spotlessly clean. I loved it. The location was fantastic. Everything there on your doorstep.

I found it a bit pricey. I spent 3 nights in October and it cost around £450 UK sterling or 500 euros for those 3 nights. I could have gotten a nearby hotel room a good bit cheaper. But I can't fault the apartment. It was fantastic.

Le Couvent is on the edge of the Panier district and a few minutes walk from the northern quay and bustle of the Vielle Port. Panier is the oldest part of town and is now very boho chic; artisan shops, super epic graffiti (in a city of already epic graffiti) and numerous small restaurants running disproportionate areas of outdoor tables. Yet our room was blissfully quiet. Breakfast in your room is very easy, with an excellent boulangerie and adjacent patisserie just down the Rue Caisserie. Other breakfast options are also available locally. On arrival, the proprietor provides a list of good local places to eat and advice on finding a decent enough supermarket for the other breakfast basics 6 minutes walk away. A taxi from (mainline train and bus station) Gare Ste Charles will get you there in 5 minutes. Having got to know the city, we got back to GSC at the end of our stay via public transport; the bus on Rue Caisserie and the metro system will get you there for under 2 Euros each.

No much. The rooms are cavernous, tastfully and very comfortably furnished and quiet. (See above.) Our particular room had a broken click-clack waste in the wash basin and a hair dryer that didn't work. But neither were dealbreakers for us. The building itself is accessed up a steep side street. Once inside, there is no lift. If hauling your case, (or yourself,) up over 50 steps to the top floor, (around 30 to the 1st floor) is not your idea of a holiday; book somewhere else. We could live with this and were rewarded with a lovely stay. Our room overlooked a kindergarten playground. Conceivably that might get a bit noisy at times. But it was half term when we were in town. We never saw a single child.

fabulous location, spacious, clean, helpful staff/management, quiet but central.

only a view of a dark alley out of only one window. We had mosquitoes at night, a net around the bed or a screen on the window would help.

Central. Quiet at night. Clean, comfortable, classy. Lovely conversion.

V steep steps down to bathroom. Possibly a little tricky for elderly/ infirm!

Good location, spacious, large bed

Nothing really

Nice large apartments with amazing location to the port and museums. staff was great and provided recommendations for restaurants and nearby activities. wi-Fi is great.

Was a bit of a wait to get into the building. Check in instructions say to message when you’re there or to call but make sure to ring the doorbell for us someone was inside. We arrived around 1pm and they let us have the room early.

Excellent location. Very spacious room (suite 2), well appointed kitchenette, super comfy bed. Many food/where to go recommendations at check-in.

The opening of shower sliding door is very (very) narrow. The room doesn't have a lot of natural light. Some cleaning details could be improved.

really good location, very clean and well equipped

The place is amazingly well located - all building well renovated - the small apartment are spacious enough - well equipped. Very quiet even in the middle of the city. In addition great bed. Charming place The Lady owner is very helpful

The place is difficult to access especially with suitcase
