La Residence Du Vieux Port

Our second stay. Lovely helpful staff, great room and decor, amazing view. The breakfast was also very good. Liked the bathrobes and slippers,also the tea making facilities and coffee pod. Complimentary water in the room, too. Lovely vibe to the hotel.

La Residence is very well situated for exploring the historic and harbour areas of Marseille - you are very much right in the thick of everything! It is: - impressive from the outside; - has a very attractive and large reception area; - has rooms with amazing harbour/cathedral views; - decorated in a retro and unusual fashion; - the room/bathroom was relatively simple but was clean and covered all of our needs for a one night stay. We did not have breakfast or use other amenities so cannot comment on these.

The hotel is extremely well located in a fun and safe area of the Old Port with lots of good restaurants and stores nearby. Yet it is also a quiet refuge from the bustle of all the tourists. The staff is quite small, but attentive. The room was very ample for our party of three. We enjoyed the view of the port and the surrounding area.

Our room (suite - it included an extra single bedroom which was really useful for reorganising the contents of our suitcases) had a balcony and wonderful views across Marseilles Vieux Port. The hotel was in an excellent location for bars and restaurants overlooking the water too.

The view is spectacular. we loved our balcony room on the 6th floor, so spacious. the breakfast room is beautiful as well. we dined our first night in the restaurant, Le Relais, recognized by Michelin and excellent. with the vieux harbor location you are walking distance to so much, from antiquities to ferries (across the st) to a million great restaurants to the opera etc. even the subway is nearby, and that mattered on a general strike day with protests when cabs could not get through.
