Hôtel Mercure Marseille Canebière Vieux-Port

The area is not the greatest, but it's a 10-min walk from the station and 5 from the old port. A few chips, kebabs and burger shops nearby but no food places worth considering in the immediate vicinity. The rooms was comfortable and clean. The staff was friendly. We didn't have food there but the bistrot seems to have different dishes every day. Not too bad overall, especially considering the price.

The staff was exceptional and the hotel is lovely, and it is very central. I do have to warn the area is very loud, and very seedy. I would probably recommend staying somewhere a little where the noise and action is more low-key and in a cleaner area.

Rooms are modern and clean. French windows and really nice and cosy beds. 5 Min to the harbor and really close to everything else. Don’t miss the alternative scene and restaurants in Cours Julien (street).

We stayed at this hotel for four nights and our experience was more than just positive, it exceeded expectations. Staff is super friendly and helpful, always greeting you with a smile. They gave us good suggestions and advices, and promptly helped us with some AC issues we had in our bedroom. They did all they could to make us feel looked after, superb customer service! The hotel is brand new and has an elegant design. They also have a fantastic restaurant/brasserie if you fancy a good meal. The restaurant is accessible from the main road so you don’t need to be an hotel guest. The building has an amazing architecture, very elegant and French. They don’t have parking but there is an underground parking literally 7 min walk from the hotel: it’s safe and very high tech, you can reserve your spot via app/website and you don’t even need to get a ticket: the cameras will recognize the car plate and let you in and out according to the number of days you reserved your parking (Indigo parking, Place General De Gaulle). In summary: great hotel, awesome service, fantastic restaurant and central location. I would definitely go back next time I’m in Marseille!
