We ended up going to another hotel. The AC was broken which they knew before they charged us for the night and gave us the room key. The room was extremely hot. The offered a fan . I was very upset that they did not say anything knowing they had a problem!! Another customer was complaining as well and requested a refund. I won’t go back to this one. They should have been honest and tell us about the issue right away. Very upsetting .

Convenient and Comfortable

Very convenient location for a brief visit to Marseille as a tourist. Excellent price and wonderful setup. The room was a little tight with the large bed, but was comfortable. Breakfast was good. Only negative was the hike up two flights of stairs to get luggage up to the front desk for checkin.

Fantastic location in Marseille

Hotel right at old port could not have better location. The stairs up to reception means it would not be suitable for some visitors. Rooms small but clean and comfortable good WiFi. Staff friendly and helpful. Security excellent as it’s a busy area. Didn’t have breakfast. Would recommend again 20 minutes walk from train station or two metro stops. Ferries across street and bus stop to notre dame there as well .

Good option if you don’t care about luxury

This hotel is extremely basic. If you are looking for luxury or comfort, this is not a hotel for you. This is a very old hotel in front of the port. The stairs are not in good condition. Believe it or not they were inclined to the left. You will have a hard time, climbing those stairs if you are drunk. The elevator is so small that only one person fits. We had a two person room, which was extremely small, with no view to the port. The hotel didn’t even have, shampoo, conditioner, or body lotion. No iron, closet. Good hair dryer though. Then they put us on a three person room. This was bigger and had a view port. This room was nicer for sure. Unfortunately, it was only available for one night. However, this hotel has very good breakfast, and the staff are super friendly and helpful, and as I said above, it has a great location. So once again, I only recommend this hotel if you don’t care about luxury.

This was my favorite hotel I’ve ever stayed at. The location can’t be beat as it is right in the center of the Vieux Port and right on the metro line as well. The rooms and the hotel itself are clean and pleasant. Staff is extremely helpful as well. We paid extra for the breakfast option and I highly recommend it as it was delicious and worth it. A lot of the reviews I read before booking had complaints about all the stairs, and while there were a lot of stairs I don’t think it was anything too bad and it wasn’t something that bothered us at all. I spent a week in Marseille and had a great time and Hotel Life played a big part in that. When I go back this will definitely be where I stay!

Great location good value for money

The hotel is located on a very busy Esplanade around the Marina District. The hotel has been renovated as part of an older building. That includes new sound resistant windows that keep the noise out and with the air conditioning it was perfectly fine. Keeping the windows open at night would be impossible. That said the people running the hotel are very friendly, very helpful, the breakfast was good And it was very century located. I would recommend recommended.

This property is nice and the staff is very helpful. The only caveat is the fact there is only stairs to the first floor. Those who have heavy bags or mobility issues may not find this a good match. This is really just a design issue. Service and accommodation is great.
