La Residence Du Vieux Port  

The location, internal design, courteous and helpful staff and this feeling that you were almost on your own (in spite of the numerous room keys that awaited collection) were very positve aspects of the hotel. The surroundings felt almost homely.The balcony and room overlooking the old port with relatively good double glazed doors and windows were added soundproofing bonuses, as well as all the starting points for boat ,open top coach and minitrain city trips, which were literally across the road. 4 of us shared the 2 bed apartment which was sufficiently spacious. Separate spacious bathroom and toilet. Metro and buses very close as well as shopping. We shall definitely return to this hotel for our next visit because it was a peaceful gem in the middle of a lively area. We wish to thank all the staff who dealt with us and made our stay even more enjoyable.

These are really some suggestions that could further improve the experience. Tea/coffee making facilities in the rooms would be great and perhaps more realistically priced breakfasts and restaurant meals. Although the standard was high, surrounding bistros/cafes/restos were competitively priced with more generous portions. A flat tv screen or easy listening sound as a background in the main public lounge would be great.

Please be aware that there is major construction work going on outside the hotel. Finished 2013 according to plan.

I like the stunning view overlooking the old port and the location of the hotel is very convenient.

I was staying in a 2-bedroom suite, both the size of the small bedroom and the 2 beds are a bit too small, may be only suitable for children. The pillow and the mattress are too soft ie. not comfortable. The free wifi connection inside the hotel room is very weak.

Very nice hotel, kept in 1960's design. tastefully kept and renovated, like visiting the a 60's designer hotel. Great experience. Friendly staff, fantastic location

I enjoyed very much my stay. The hotel is professional, quiet and understated. It has a perfect aspect and convenient for all that Marseille has to offer.I would certainly come again.

Breakfast is too expensive

The location was great! The rooms were spacious and clean. Staff always polite and considerate. Only downfall, is the elevators near our room smelt off sewerage.

Bets view ever so maybe the high price was worth

Delightful and hassle-free experience.

The location by the vieux port is unbeatable. The rooms have a glass wall facing the port, so the view is breathtaking. The 1950s design details are great, with a presumably recent refurbishment sympathetic to the original era. The staff are really charming.

The floor plan means that rooms in the middle of the hotel are significantly smaller than those at the sides. Request a room at the side of an upper floor (at least 5th).

Super location. Fun fifties style with loads of colour. Polite staff.

Wall paint (room 704) in need of touch up. fabric on chairs getting a little worn.

We enjoyed to be just on the port. The view from the room (701) was absolutly fantastic.

Nothing to declare (we avoid the breakfast, 16 € each for a 4 pers familly, it wasn't interesting)

Superb staff willing to make our stay enjoyable and to research shops and sites for us.Strong setting looking out on the Port

the view was excellent and the bed was very comfortable.

the hallway smelt awful, and the shower curtain was old and dirty. it was incredibly expensive for what it was, but i guess they will say that is because of the location. we stayed in some beautiful hotels during our trip that were 100 euros less a night, but 10 times more luxurious.
