When we arrived at the hotel, nearly 10:00 at night after 25 hours of travel, we were graciously greeted in English and when we asked if any restaurant nearby was still serving dinner, the staff immediately pulled out a map and directed us to a wonderful brasserie about 30 meters away. They provided information about what to see and what... More

Stayed at the hotel Escale Oceania on May 12, 2013. Just got in from a long flight from Chicago to Amesterdam, Amesterdam to Marseille France. My sister and I have been traveling since May 11, 2013 from Chicago. By the time we arrived we were exhausted. To my surprise after retreiving our luggage we found out the train went within... More

The staff were also very attentive, and answered our questions about the port plus surrounding areas. It made for a fantastic base for which to... More

We stayed here in April and found it to be very comfortable and clean. The staff spoke English and were very accommodating, even letting us check in a few hours early when we arrived sooner than expected. A great option which was good value for money.

We spent five days in Marseilles staying at this hotel while visiting our daughter who is studying there. The hotel is well situated on the front at the old port in a busy area. Although it gets busy we found there was not a lot of noise . The hotel is soundproofed, to limit the sound of traffic outside. Ideally... More

The first thing to comment on the Escale Oceania is the location. Like the Guide Michelin says, it could not be more central, or perfect. Literally adjacent to the Metro (Vieux Port) means instant transport to anywhere is easy without using taxis. Staff were friendly, although with a very slight whiff of haughtiness (or was it smugness?) that you have... More

This hotel has perfect location, and very helpful staff. It ıs clean and convenient. The only two negative things are they don't have room service and no porter to carry your suitcases.(specially if you have back problem like me it is too bad) No fridge in rooms. Overall good stay and will surely go back.
