Expert reviews

New York Times review:

“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.

Frommers review:

“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.”

Telegraph review:

“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.”

excellent time at hotel, staff on front desk couldn't have been more helpful

We were relocated to an apartment because the room originally booked was too small. The apartment was great, ideal for 3 adults with queen bed, a room with 2 singles and a sofa bed if needed. Very comfortable. There was a good sized shower/bathroom with decent towels, a kitchenette also provided facilities for light dining, also there was enough space to relax after a day in town.

Our original room was too small for 3 single adults to relax in, plus being on the upper most floor with a window unable to open and the air con not wanting to work everything just felt too hot and cramped.

Tastefully renovated houses in a quiet street ideally located to visit Marseille, lovely garden or rooms for breakfast

as quite often in France, there are no twin rooms: friends not willng to share a bed will have to book a suite and one will sleep on the less confortable sofa bed. The hotel restaurant in the garden is good and busy, to be booked in advance. Water bottles in the room would be nice.

a very good place to stay

beautiful main building with a lovely garden for breakfast. Room was clean with a good ensuite and plenty of towels. Location good for the port, bit of a hike up the hill with your bags, but all downhill after that :)

No milk for coffee/tea in the room, but otherwise excellent

Great find, would stay again.

Continental breakfast was excellent! Staff were smiley and helpful. Good central location

Needed to ask for more pillows as only one pillow each, but they brought them up to the room.

Comfortable family stay

Location, ample and delicious breakfast, beautiful breakfast courtyard too. The room we moved to was a good size with excellent facilities. A thoroughly enjoyable stay.

The initial room we were put in was much too small for three adults and one child, with many mosquitos under the roof and therefore right above the bunkbed. We asked to change and the staff kindly and efficiently offered us another much more spacious and more comfortable room.

Nice place to experience the Vieux Port but a bit away from the hubub there.

Loved the neighborhood feel with an art gallery next door and a view of flower boxes across the street. Loved the courtyard where you could hang out for breakfast or wine later--and we ran into a lively event, a book signing! Staff was extremely helpful and friendly.

The room was a little noisy because of street traffic.

Very comfortable and friendly hotel. Fun to play boules in the garden. excellent food in the restaurant. We would happil

Lovely garden where we enjoyed excellent breakfasts, comfy bed and super shower. Great bonus in France to have a kettle. Very helpful staff

Room a bit short of places to put things. A few more hooks for coats and towels would help. Annex building not as characterful as the main one with restaurant but it was comfy

The courtyard was so quintessentially French and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful! Loved the Rituals products!

Our room was tiny and had strange little windows but the bed was really comfy and loved the ‘rituals’ products.

Fabulous

The location was excellent for exploring The Noailles and Port Vieux districts of Marseille. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The rooms are located down the street from the main lobby

The rooms are slightly smaller than expected.

Great location, comfortable and clean room

The room was very clean. The bathroom was spacious. The beds were comfortable. I liked the complementary tea. The location was great, very close to city center, to shops and restaurants. Good enough sound proof.

- One of the night table lamps in our room was not working properly. We fixed it, but it would have been nice someone checking this beforehand. - Even though the shower was really nice and clean, with good water pressure, the lack of a proper door caused that the water spilled all over the floor. - The sink was too far from the toilet in my opinion. - If you don't close properly the doors leading to your room, you could hear everything going on outside. - The elevator is tiny.

Personal was helpful. Rooms were clean. Location is good, 7-8 min walking distance to Vieux Port and very closed to Estrangin metro station.

Rooms were not so wide, especially for 2 people.

Great location

Very clean, very friendly and helpful staff, great location, room size was good and quiet.

We had the best twin room, but no lift access for suitcases to the last floor. The sofa bed was uncomfortable for an adult, probably fine for a child.

Great location and good rooms. Some staff very friendly.

A bit chaotic at breakfast and some of the staff were a bit hurried and not very responsive.

Very good

Reception and cleaning staff very helpful and friendly. The location was convenient and quiet and there's a small Carrefour nearby. The beds were comfortable.

The room was very, very small - a bit too much so for a mother and adult son combo but manageable. The bathroom was clean with a good shower but the toilet was crammed into a corner which made it pretty uncomfortable.

Very helpful staff, comfortable, room with lovely views of the city and access to important sites.

Very helpful staff, clean facilities, comfortable, room with lovely views of the city. Location was perfect and accessible to metro stops to get to the airport bus as well as great dining options close by.

It was odd having to cross the street and enter a secluded building for the actual room. It was also annoying that I couldn't control the heat but had to go back to the lobby to ask them to up the temperature.
