The room was very large and clean from first appearances. Having just flown in from USA I was very sleepy and the bed slept great at first. But I awoke in the middle of the night itching and unaware. I noticed streaks and drops of blood on the sheets and upon further inspection around the covers and under pillow I... more

We arrived by taxi from the St. Charles train station. The hotel is small but very comfortable. The rooms have been remodeled and the beds were VERY comfortable. Bathroom was beautiful but no shower door so water splashed all over the floor. Our room faced a small courtyard - very small. But it was quite. The breakfast buffet was very... more

Having booked Coupe du Monde tickets for the two QF games in Marseille and having been shunted out of our pre-booked Aix-en-Provence hotel in favour of a hotel a further 100km from Marseille, we decided instead to chance it on the night and see if we could get a room in ANY hotel in Marseille. Through a combination of sheer... more

First of all and this is very important - parking. When we arrived at the hotel we could see if from the road that surrounds the port but could not see how to get to it. We ended up in the streets of Marseille going past the hotel and this was a terrible experience. The road is small most people... more

As mentioned by others, this hotel has a brilliant location facing the Port. Directly opposite there's a metro stop, boat pier for trips to the islands, tourist... more

We obtained the name of the hotel from your web-site. the location is perfect. We enjoyed the buffet breakfast in a restaurant which overlooks the port - a must for the room also.The service was great - staff very helpful and we shall certainly stay at the hotel again if we are in Marseille. more

We got a good deal with this hotel, paying 441 euros for 3 nights. BUT, if you're doing the same do not expect them to give you a room with a view. When we arrived we were put in a back room overlooking a side street. We asked if we could be moved to a room overlooking the old port... more

The Mercure sits at the end of Marseille's best area (and there aren't many) - the Vieux Port. This was a complete gamble as I had no accommodation booked and arrived late. But the gamble was worth it and I was given room 415 overlooking the Port. Initially I anticipated no sleep as the road is ultra busy, but the... more
