Maisons du Monde Hôtel & Suites - Marseille Vieux Port

Live like a local in Marseille — with boutique style and true comfort. I stayed in the apartment side of the hotel (Room 7, a few blocks from the main suites), and it was truly an experience! The walk through the cobblestone streets with my suitcase felt like a scene out of Marseille itself — and the staff made it special, greeting me with rosé and personally escorting me to the apartment. My one-bedroom was spacious, complete with robes, slippers, a washer (no dryer), and a full kitchen setup. Traveler Tips: • No room service here, so stock up at the nearby grocery (MRC) for essentials like oils, coffee, and breakfast items. • Sundays in Europe often mean closures — plan ahead if you’ll need food or supplies. • There’s a Starbucks just around the corner, and Uber Eats does deliver here (though I didn’t get to try it before leaving). It truly felt like my own Marseille apartment — comfortable, stylish, and a perfect base for exploring the Vieux Port. Follow along for more tips; I’ll be sharing the grocery review next.

Wonderful location and very beautiful interior. I got myself comfort room which is only 2 m2 bigger than standard thinking it’s going to be small and just have a space to work around the bed, but to my surprise the room is very spacious and well designed, so standard room would’ve been just perfect. Another bonus: they have gluten free bread and even gluten free almond cake at breakfast! The staff is very nice and accommodating.

Location is the best thing the hotel has to offer. When we arrived, we went through the usual check in process, the credit card was charged for the stay + deposit, and the keys to the room were given. Then they tell us that the elevator is broken, and we have to go up a few flights of stairs to get to the room. We are not spring chickens anymore, but no questions were asked if we are capable of doing it. Once we got to the room and opened the door, there were yet another five steps to get to the bed 🙄. The room itself was very disappointing, way to tiny.

We had a great time! Everything was clean, and the staff were incredibly friendly, polite, and helpful. I especially loved the cozy breakfast, which featured a variety of delicious homemade cakes. The view over the port was absolutely stunning. Highly recommended!

Great location. Rooms with harbor views are noisy but worth it if you want to live the Vieux Port experience. Great breakfast and special mention for Louisa whose smile and kindness make all the difference!!! ❤️

Absolutely beautiful hotel. Very clean, beautiful styling and incredibly comfortable. Very cool A/C. Right on the old port but no street noise at all. Breakfast was amazing - a lovely array of fruits, nuts, yoghurt, pasties, breads and omelettes made to order - incredible.

Olivier and his team are great! Nice boutique hotel, great rooms! Cannot beat the location near everything. This is my 3rd stay here, definitely a go to when in marseille . Recommend.

Overall we would stay here again but there are some issues that we did find disappointing. The main issue was with the heating/air conditioning system and not being able to change the temperature even though we had two separate controls but no matter what we selected, the room stayed the same. Too cool for the day and too hot for sleeping for us. There were stains on the sofa that should have been cleaned. When we first arrived we saw a list of everything that was supposed to have been in the suite so we went down the list and marked the items that were missing and returned to the hotel desk to report our findings. They quickly sent someone with most of the missing items but the one pillow that we would have liked to have was not replaced. We did find a cutting board later that was hidden after they brought us another. There were tablets for the dishwasher that we discovered on our final day that were in the bottom of the dish drainer silverware holder. We always travel with some so it was not an issue. The apartment could have used a dish towel for drying dishes and some cleaning supplies. There was plenty of closet space in the apartment that we really appreciated and the safe was large enough to accommodate laptop computers.
