Perfectly located pretty hotel
Such a lovely hotel!
Perfectly located for walking and slightly outside the main town of Marseille.
Quiet and pretty - could happily spend the whole day here, exceeded our expectations!

A relaxed stay in a quiet, very clean place with friendly service. The staff was very helpful.
The breakfast was great, good choice of bread, jams, great yoghurt, fresh orange juice and other juices, cereals. Cheese. The room was spacious, with a good sized bathroom. The hotel 96 is located in a quiet area with lots of green around, but still not too far from the city of Marseille. The bed was comfortable.

The room was very disappointing. Shower was like in a hostel, all amenities were very basic and uninviting

Excellent
Stunning property with beautiful gardens on the outskirts of Marseille. The pool area is a great place for relaxation. Staff are all so lovely and helpful with any queries about your stay or Marseille itself. Breakfast was a treat every morning and the home made yoghurt was delicious!

Hotel Maison Montgrand, Marseille
New York Times + 2 more“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.”

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.”
Featured in New York Times’ 36 hours in Marseille.
La Residence du Vieux Port, Marseille
Lonely Planet + 2 more“Externally as attractive as a multistorey car park, this portside hotel scores big on interior design and views. Its rooms are self-consciously retro – think bold primary colours, art in the styles of Miró and Mondrian, ’50s-style furniture and Anglepoise lamps – and most come with port-view balconies.”
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.”
