Hotels near Fort Saint-Jean, Marseille

We stayed in Sofitel Marseille for 3 nights in the summer of 2023. The hotel is located right on the periphery of the old port of Marseille where all the shops and restaurants are located. It takes about a 15-minute walk to get from the hotel all the way to the centre of the old port so the hotel is fairly insulated from the hustle and bustle of the old port. The exterior of the hotel looks a bit dated but the interiors feel very fresh, clean and bright. We upgraded our room to a deluxe room facing the old port at the reception and we thought it was worth it. We never tired of waking up to a view of the old port with a clear blue sky. The room itself was quite clean and spacious. There was enough room to open up two luggages and still move around comfortably. There is also a turn down service where the staff will put out the bedroom slippers and play some nice Jazz music when you come back. The bed was nice and comfortable and the pillows were fluffy. The only complaint we had was that the air conditioning would turn off in the middle of the night. The air conditioning control did not seem to work and it seems like the air conditioning is centrally controlled so the in-room controls did nothing. I could not sleep the first night as it was too warm and stuffy so we asked for a ventilateur (fan) the next day. That helped us to sleep better. Obviously, if you are planning to stay during the winter months then the heat at night should not be an issue. The staff at the reception were always pleasant, warm, friendly and polite. We were upsold the room with a view when we checked in so that should say something about how friendly the staff were. It was EUR70 per night for the room with a view and it included overnight parking (EUR27 per night) so it was really only about EUR50 extra per night. The valet and the concierge were all very helpful and nice and they all speak English well enough. If you intend to park here, do note that the roads within the hotel property can be quite narrow and the parking lots are quite narrow as well. It may be worthwhile getting the valet to help you park your car at least for the first day because driving from the car rental agencies at the Marseille train station to the hotel was stressful enough for us. We paid around EUR300 - 350 a night but we thought it was worth it and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience.

The InterContinental Marseille is undoubtedly the best luxury hotel in Marseille. Housed in a converted historical hospital, it offers a unique and charming ambiance. The breakfast served at the Terrace boasts breathtaking views and includes delicious freshly made waffles and refreshing orange juice. The rooms are impeccably clean, and the beds are luxuriously comfortable. However, upon our late arrival at 11pm, we were disappointed to find only cold sandwiches available for room service.

The location is great. The window is right next to the Old Port of Marseille, and you can see the whole view of the Old Port of Marseille. The hotel lobby lounge is quite spacious and there is a mini gym on the second floor. There are balconies above the 3rd floor, and the rooms are decorated in French style.

Everything is good and the location is very convenient. The only downside is that the hot water cannot be used continuously and you have to wait for a long time!

A magnificent establishment well located halfway from the port or the SNCF station on foot. Extremely comfortable, the rooms are well equipped. In terms of catering, the buffet breakfast is complete, with all savory or sweet options and very generous. The hotel team in place is warm and welcoming. And the value for money is excellent. A great experience to repeat which allows you to spend a lovely, pleasant weekend in the city of Marseille

Great location. Easy to find. Walking distance to the old port and other sighseening places. The hostel and the room is very clean and new. The elevator is working fine. Shower is warm enough. Would be great if there,s hanger on the door or the wall to hang the clothes in the shower. Overall a great experience. Will definally come again. Highly recommend. 離火車站跟老港口很近，走路十分鐘就到了，很好找，背包客棧跟房間浴室公共區域都很乾淨，很值得，下次會再來。

We took a double room with my aunt, we stayed 3 nights. The location of the hotel is perfect, less than 5 minutes walk from the Old Port and several restaurants. The room is small but more than sufficient. The toilets backed up so they smelled a little but it didn't pose a real problem. The staff is pleasant. There is luggage storage in the hotel but for a fee.

The location is very good. The front of the hotel faces the old port, and the entrance is at the back. European style, old but not outdated, clean and tidy, the room is not big, two large suitcases are no problem, but the shower is a bit slow. Breakfast is OK, not many varieties but acceptable. You can see the scenery of the old port by the window. The service is also very good, very friendly. Leave for the airport at 6:30, breakfast starts at 6:30. We communicated the day before and arrived 15 minutes earlier, made coffee, and reminded us to make sandwiches to take with us. Overall satisfied, recommended to stay.

It's great, even if no one shares my room rate for 500 a night, the transportation is convenient for a few minutes is the old port, and the house is too big! The hotel is also very advanced

The man, if I remember correctly, the senior manager - was friendly, as was the night security. All the women at the reception were extremely unfriendly, the bureaucracy was harassing. Overall, a depressing impression: irritated bureaucrats + unsafe area + poor cleaning and a frightening view of the construction site liquid soap hangs right above the hair dryer plugged into the socket and drips onto it. It is unclear how they could have obtained a license from the fire department
