My girlfriend and I traveled to Marseille last summer. We were excited to stay in Marseille, as we'd heard so many good things about the region. We found the "Hotel du Palais" online and booked three nights. The booking process seemed fairly straightforward. The rooms were not cheap (119 euros a night). Upon arrival, everything went horribly wrong. The man... more

I thought the hotel was good; nothing special but served the purpose for a 2 night stay. Staff were friendly and ever so helpful. I didn't particularly like the street level where the hotel was located. In fact there was an eerie feel to the place as early as 8 pm. I thought the cost of breakfast (€8) was extraordinary... more

The hotel is centrally located which is fine for sightseeing.All rooms are advertised as for one or two adults but most have a small double bed .They are are really singles but the booking website is not clear.Not suitable for some all male groups. Staff are friendly and speak a little English which helps. more

As other reviewers have said, the Hotel du Palais is well located for local attractions and public transport. The reception staff were pleasant enough, but my ground floor room was surprisingly small, and although it was clean and comfortable enough I didn't feel tempted to spend too much time there. As others have said, noise from other rooms is an... more

We were there on the 9th October 2007.This hotel was in a fantastic position and was only minutes from the Old Port. However the walls seem to be very thin and we could hear the shower in the room next door being used...just as loudly as if we were in the room. Thankfully there was no other noise from our... more

This was a perfectly adequate hotel for a one night stay in Marseille. The location is excellent, literally a 2-3 minute walk from the station, very easy to find, and a short stroll down to the water. Having been warned from various reviews that hotel rooms in France are all tiny, we were pleasantly surprised by this one, as it... more

The hotel is located a few blocks from the metro stop and a 10 minute walk to the Vieux Port. Finding the exact building took some time as it is not clearly marked. The staff cannot be any more helpful. We were coming from Montepellier and this was our third city before heading off to Italy and so we were... more

What can I say...we were looking for something cheap but not terrible, close to the Port but not on the Port, and clean. The location is excellent - one minute from the Metro and a five minute walk from the Port. The staff was friendly, the rooms were smallish but adequate, and apart from the awkwardness of showering with a... more

The location of this hotel if fabulous. 1 minute walk opposite to the metro station and just 3 min walk to the main harbour and where everything is happening! There are a few beaches, 2 man-made ones a metro ride away and a small natural beach within walking distance (15min). We went clubbing which is walking distance. Next to the... more
