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.”

Great location, friendly staff, perfect for a one night stay in central Marseille

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.

Great location and accommodations, recommend to avoid going with a vehicle.

I appreciated that this hotel was not in the middle of everything but rather a very quick walk to it. This allowed for peace and quiet when sleeping at night and the ability to quickly see the sites. The room was refreshing with plenty of space including outdoor seating. The common area for breakfast was also lovely with options in the shade and sun.

Parking was the only hiccup to call out. The one-way road made it difficult to check in when you had a car. We had to quickly drop our luggage off and then try to find our way around to the 48-hour parking garage. Additionally, we were told that the parking ticket was multi-use (we could come and go as we please) but that was not the case, we ended up having to pay for our second exit. Based on our use I think it would have been cheaper for us to pay as we used the garage rather than the hotel rate.

Good Place for Short and Sweet Stay

The property is at a very good location ,very near to the port yet away from the hustle bustle of the port. All the places of interest are at a walking distance from the hotel. The room has mostly all the amenities. A place to stay if you like small cosy rooms. Do go to Culture Thai to have good thai food.

There are few things which we did not like: a. There was no refrigerator to cool your water and drinks b. There was basic minimum toiletries c. There was a stench from the toilet d. The hotel room is not in the reception building so be mindful that you have to haul your luggage around a little bit more than usual. e. The room is little small

Good location, nice room. Some things could be improved for price.

Location was good. Room was clean and spacious.

1. only one towel was given on arrival (we were two…). It was old and grey. 2. ground flood room overlooked a courtyard and people could look in if we didn’t have the curtain closed (even in daytime). 3. cups for hot drinks aren’t suitable for hot liquids. it says so on the label.

pleasant, spacious, restful

the courtyard in the busy city was restful and welcome and comfortable

we were placed in an apartment hotel adjacent to the main hotel, felt like an apartment and not a hotel

Fantastic location

Excellent location. Exceptionally comfortable bed and pillows.

Wifi was cut early morning before check out. Not impressive. Also, 11am check out time makes it all feel a bit corporate and cheap. Poor breakfast
