Hôtel Carré Vieux Port Marseille

The hotel is located in a great location near the Vieux Port. The hotel is clean and the room was a good size and comfortable beds. The bathroom was spacious and clean also with lovely soap. But for what it is, its very expensive, you get 1 sachet nestcafe coffee, milk and sugar for each person and that's it, if you want anymore you have to pay €1.80 for a espresso at the desk. When I did enquire why this was, I was informed it's quite costly, bearing in mind we had just left a hotel in Nice, with 24hr complementary coffee which was a coffee machine and it was a fraction of the price. Also the cups for coffee are paper and you have plastic cups in the bathroom. The stairs and corridors have movement sensors rather than switches so you did have to wait sometimes for the light to switch on, and occasionally they would switch off and on coming down the stairs The breakfast was good and had alot of options for everyone. The lady who does the breakfast was lovely also, very friendly. I found the hotel had more of a hostel feel rather than a hotel.

Fantastic location and just one block behind Marseille Port, easy to get to from airport via bus/train. Room was small and basic but clean. Bed was a converted sofa bed but still comfortable, tea/coffee facilities, great double glazing so very quiet. Only pitfall was the shower, just a trickle with no pressure. Loved the breakfast (7-11), big choice of hot and cold, meats, cheeses, fruit, etc.

This is a good, well run and centrally located boutique hotel. The email instructions on how to find the hotel were helpful and were easy to follow. The Marseille metro is a 5 minute walk around the corner. The hotel staff were friendly, professional and helpful. Rooms are quiet and well appointed with good showers. The self service buffet breakfast is good, with plenty of choice. However visitors to Marseille need to be very cautious in the Old Port area in which the hotel is located.

Pros: - Location is unbeatable - Staff was super friendly and helpful - Size of Superior Double room and bathroom - Air conditioning worked really well Cons: - Bed was old, lumpy and not comfortable. You could feel the dips where previous people has slept. I asked them to flip it, which they did, but the comfort of the bed itself really wasn't worth the money - Water takes about 5 min to get hot in the shower - Felt like the Super Double room wasn't really true to as advertised It definitely fulfilled all of my needs, but I probably wouldn't return due to the discomfort of the bed

Friendly staff particularly in breakfast area. Rooms are clean and quiet but some with tiny windows and no view to speak of whatsoever. Quite pricey for what you get but proximity to old port is nice.

Good location!! Not bad but not amazing for the price. Service at front desk was great. Bathroom too small and room had some issues. Only 1 suitable plug at our large desk. Mosquitos in room at check in.

Very friendly and modern. Right next to the marina. Everything clean and comfortable. |Not really a downside, just to be aware... there isn't really a comfortable lounge area downstairs; it's more like a canteen for breakfast. |and speaking of breakfast - it was astonishingly good! I was expecting it to be a similar standard to the hot drink facilities in the room (tragic little Nescafe sachet) but it was absolutely great - a really nice buffet.

The rooms are small but clean and the location is great. However, the day we checked out, my friend came back to the room to find her backpack had been gone through. Nothing appeared to be missing (she had not left any cash in the bag) but it was clear someone had gone through it (her zipper was previously broken and requires great care to zip back up - it was closed when we left and wide open with the zip at the bottom of the bag when we returned). We believe whoever went through the bag couldn't figure out how the rezip the bag and just left.

Great location. A little different to navigate if you are handicapped. After existing The left there is a fire door between you and your rooms. Energy saving lights make it dark when you navigate the hall. Luckily my walker collapsed or I would not have been able to get it in the room.

After three years of waiting we finally got to visit France, beginning in Marseille. We arrived exhausted and brain dead. The staff was so helpful and friendly. When we were having issues with our Covid test results they were there to help translate and print copies for us. Our room was very nice, the hotel is small and just what we were looking for. if we ever get back to Marseille we'd book again. Merci to all the staff!!

This is a fine hotel with a fantastic staff, who are so friendly and helpful. The location is also ideal -- right next to the Old Port. The rooms are very clean and comfortable, and there is air conditioning. Finally, the hotel offers a great breakfast for 12 euros. I would definitely come back here again. Marseille is a beautiful and joyous city!!
