What guests think

La Residence Du Vieux Port draws praise for its unbeatable Old Port location and sweeping harbour views, frequently from balcony rooms, plus generally friendly, helpful staff, making it a convenient base for sightseeing, dining, and public transport access.

Rooms are often spacious and comfortable, though several guests note dated decor, occasional maintenance issues (showers, drainage, weak air conditioning), limited outlets, and mixed bed comfort. Cleanliness is widely praised, yet a minority reported lapses or odours, especially in some bathrooms and corridors. Being in the heart of the port brings lively street noise; blackout curtains and soundproofing are not always sufficient, and parking is off-site in a nearby public garage with discounted rates. Expect great views and location-first convenience with boutique character, plus some quirks.

Enjoyed staying at the hotel. Had some music in bar next door- jiving stuff -good to listen to but all stopped by 10 pm General area interestingly decorated. Visually inviting. Lots of celebrities who were ex visitors to the hotel had their photos n a few words on the wall in the corridors The room was relatively large for France. Quirky finishes. Only issue being at the port, parking some distance away in the parking station but htopark illegally to drop off Room

We visited the property for one night while in Marseille. It looks a bit run down from outside but inside is lovely. Looks to be remodeled or redecorated recently. Front desk was very helpful. Our toom looked out over the marina which was lovely. Few things to point out....air conditioning did not appear yo work well - it was very warm despite it being on; the second room had no windows so ventilation was non existent; the toilet was in a room of its own with no fan or ventilation; lack of outlets next to bed. We loved the funky decor, the Honesty Bar, the location, and the breakfast!

The staff was very friendly and helpful, especially Clement Magnan who helped us straighten out a mix-up in our reservations that I caused when I tried to change our arrival date to a day earlier. Each of the front desk clerks was friendly and helpful, even printing out some specialized maps to help us navigate to a couple of stores. The hotel has an arrangement with a 24 hr, monitored parking garage with in/out privileges, that was a little tricky to find the first time, but within easy walking distance from the hotel. It was 14 euro / day. The housekeeping staff were very through and the room was spotless. Our view overlooking the harbor was wonderful. Area felt safe and is centrally located for access to most of the tourist attractions, and only a short walk to the museum. There is an amazing farmers market on Sunday right outside the hotel. Definitely recommended for a stay in Marseille

Very nice and simple hotel. Great view from food sized roomroom. Helpful staff. Parking is a short walk away under another hotel. Front desk can help. You pull up in front on a crowded street, so drop off of bags needs to be quick. No parking in front. Close to many restaurants. All things considered, this is a great place to stay in Marseille. One downside was there was only one free outlet in the bedroom. Maybe another one in bathroom.

Excellent location! Portside room view worth the price. Evening receptionist great. Took extra steps unprompted to get my bottle of wine chilled, then drew map of local wine shops to explore. City shut down street for a few weeks which caused our driver additional half hour in traffic. Hotel should post a notice on web or email guests scheduled to arrive to clarify back door dropoff address.

The property itself is in an excellent location , across the street from the port and easy access to the metro . Shopping and dining all within walking distance . The room itself was clean and the view was amazing . Staff were quite rude when requesting anything for the room . There are not any ice machines so when we requested ice for the room most staff was very rude and seemed to be bothered . We booked a room with a balcony but did not receive it despite showing our receipt and booking details . The front desk staff said that this is a problem with hotels.com and not their hotel and to contact the booking site .

Beautiful old property with amazing location right on the old port. Small rooms, only one elevator and pricy BUT well worth it given its wonderful location and views, 500 restaurants within 500 metres, so walkable and excellent friendly staff. secure reserved parking 200 metres away by the old city hall. Our second stay in this property and will stay again when next in Marseille. Recommended.

Excellent location and fabulous view from the balcony. Despite being at the port, the room was quiet and the bed was very comfortable so I slept really well. Breakfast was very good (15 Euros a day as I didn’t book in advance). On the downside, the room wasn’t well cleaned/hoovered. They left a note saying they would only change bedsheets on request. I think this is scrimping. They would say it was to be eco-friendly but they weren’t eco-friendly with the rubbish - there was no dividers in the bin so all the rubbish was together. Room nice but at the end of the day you are paying for the view and location.

Chambre impeccable, personnel agréable et réactif. Le vrai plus est le balcon pour prendre un café au soleil le matin (séjour en février, balcon baigné de soleil), avec vue imprenable sur le vieux port. En revanche, les rideaux ne sont pas suffisamment épais pour plonger efficacement la chambre dans l’obscurité, même la nuit (éclairages du vieux port) donc pensez à emporter le masque pour les yeux si vous êtes sensibles à la lumière (et les boules quies si vous êtes sensibles au bruit).

It did not feel like a 4 star property although the view from the room was great. The desk seemed short on staff although they were welcoming but harried. Our bed was comfortable and the AC worked which we appreciated. The shower was substandard and the hallways and entrances to the rooms felt more like a youth hostel than a 4 star property. Lots of restaurants in the area so no issues there. I think we’ve been spoiled by 4 star properties in Italy perhaps so we could be jaded.

The hotel was very disappointing and misleading. There was nothing special about it, the staff were unhelpful, and the breakfast was overpriced. The location by the old port was extremely noisy—sirens, loud music, and constant activity made it impossible to sleep at any hour of the day or night. To make matters worse, when we adjusted our travel plans and checked out a day early, the hotel refused to make any exception to their policy and charged us for the third night we didn’t stay. We ended up paying just to leave, which says it all. We absolutely do not recommend this hotel.

It is a great location. We were promised free breakfast each morning at check in - only to be told it was €15/person per day. The breakfast was average - all the "hot food options" were lukewarm to cold every morning and the bacon drastically undercooked . The TV - half the channels didn't work. And the half that did, half of them were unwatchable due to a glitch. We reported to front desk - to no avail. It is not a quiet hotel though as buskers are outside every day with drums, singers, accordions, guitars, etc
