Hôtel Carré Vieux Port Marseille

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

Good stay. Small rooms and toilets but it’s clean. No facilities in the rooms. Good service and cooperative staff just be nice to them. Great location very close to the port, restaurants, shops and activities. High prices somehow but maybe because of the location and season. I recommend.

Fantastic location at the back ln the Vieux port. Nice rooms, confortable beds, nice views from the balcony, good products in the rooms (soap, coffee, water…). A bit noisy when other guests talk on the balcony’s or in the corridors. Staff efficient and professional 😁

We stayed at this hotel for the weekend for the Bruce Springsteen concert, the location was fabulous, right by the port and close to everything. The rooms were very comfortable, especially the beds. Staff friendly and helpful. We would stay again if visiting the areas, thanks.

I had two very different experiences in this hotel. The first night, when I demanded to move rooms at 2am because the wires were rattling so much, I thought a fire would start, was a 0. The second night, in my perfectly nice room, with a delicious breakfast, was a 4. I booked a “superior” room and felt like I was being pranked. It came with a “shower” that was just an open drain in the corner of the bathroom. Its toilet seat looked like it had been installed by a drunk monkey. It had one tiny window. When I asked the hotel about moving rooms, I was told they were completely booked, that all their rooms had these “Italian showers” and that the window in my room was a regular sized window. In the middle of the night, at 2 am, I woke up to the loud rattle of the electrical wires connecting to the AC. They were violently vibrating even though the AC was turned off. I’m no electrician, but I didn’t think it was safe. I told the reception I couldn’t stay in that room and they let me move into the next door room. I’m still confused about why they didn’t just let me move from the start. The room had a real shower, a toilet that didn’t come from a gas station, a normal-sized window, and didn’t seem to pose a fire hazard. The hotel’s refusal to let me move rooms before the electricity issue, insistence that they were fully booked when they weren’t, lie that all rooms came with “Italian showers”, and refusal to offer a partial refund for the first night’s debacle is disappointing. The hotel does a delicious breakfast and is in a perfect location. If you don’t get assigned room 514, I’m sure you’ll have a very pleasant stay. I did once I was out of it.

Clean, comfortable, lovely staff and a terrific breakfast; with a nod to artistic expression and its cultural history, this family owned hotel is a wonderful option, in a great location.

A wonderful hotel in a superb location. Room a bit small but well-appointed. Modern and clean with excellent, friendly, helpful staff. A superb find and thoroughly recommended,

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!!
