The front desk attendant Meeri is so incredibly delightful, helpful and cheerful! She helped my sister and me pick out what to do and places to go giving specific details. Merri deserves her own 5 star review. This review is based on first impressions that I do not anticipate to change. Hostel has bar, kitchen, breakfast for €5 (haven't tried yet) and laundry facility in basement. I am so excited to call this place home for the next 2 days!

They decided to put an older man, who had clearly been drinking, right next to me, so effectively we were sleeping on the floor right next to each other. Not cool. I asked to move and the guy at the desk acted like I was crazy for asking. He gave me a private room but with a lot of hassle. The rest was good, hostel is nice, clean, and close to everything. No wifi in the rooms, and it barely works in common ares.

The hotel reception was quick, impersonal and offered zero "tourist" tips, things to do etc. I even…read morehad to ask if I could take a map of the city with things to do and see from the counter as it wasn't offered. The room is a standard, small European room. It was cool and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom was very usable and clean. Black out curtains provided complete darkness, but even on the eighth floor, emergency vehicle sirens were heard all night long. The lobby bar and lounge area was spacious and comfortable with many seating areas. Included breakfast was the largest, most complete breakfast spread of the hotels were have been in. Delicious and fresh and beautifully presented. The machine brewed coffee however, left us flat. The hotel is located close to the old port and only 14 minutes walk down hill from the train station, however the walk to the hotel from the train was so sketchy and uncomfortable that we decided to uber back to avoid the filthy streets, the uncountable homeless people laying on filthy mattress pads in every corner and the feeling of being sized up. The hotel is surrounded by the beauty of the architecture of the buildings that have been buried by the filth and depravity of addiction and homelessness.

I am astonished this hotel is part of Oceania Hotels Group, and is being sold by booking.com…read more The hotel is filthy. Rooms smell of sewage. Elevator is dicey. I should have known when I had to pay, in advance, something was wrong. The photos posted must have been taken years ago because they are not accurate now. The only bright spot in this abysmal place is a lovely young lady called Annabelle. She tried her best to help me. I hope a wonderful hotel chain or high end hotel scoops her up. She would be a valuable asset and is totally lost in this hotel which reeks of sewage. Of note, the manager Celine Pariente has challenged my review with Oceanus Group stating we were upgraded at no additional charge and she stated the smell was gone after the first night, which is absolutely false. Also Ms Pariente did not take into consideration I booked a Superior Double Room with Twin Beds however we were given a room with one small bed. I went downstairs to determine why and was told there was a plumbing issue so the accommodation I booked and prepaid wouldn't be available until the next day. The lovely staff member on duty, Annabelle, offered the Deluxe Room because it had a larger bed at no additional cost. The photos are self explanatory. Every time we entered our room the smell of sewage assaulted our nostrils. Of note, the first room we were given the toilet didn't flush. On our second night we returned from an amazing tour of Cassis and Aix en Provence to find the elevator wasn't working, this was 730pm. My friend's birthday was June 3 and we were to have a celebratory dinner but canceled as climbing 4 flights of stairs would have been extremely difficult for us. Instead we went to a nearby restaurant and enjoyed a lovely meal. We were pleased to find upon our return from dinner the elevator had just been repaired, in fact the elevator technician was still on site at 11pm. I paid extra for a buffet breakfast for both days and informed them I am a Celiac therefore I must be Gluten Free. At our first breakfast a lovely lady presented me with a GF roll. With our second breakfast we were met by a sullen young lady who growled when I asked for hot water for my tea. Needless to say I didn't receive a GF bun. Lastly, the hotel is dirty overall. At one point she must have been a Grand Dame but currently she is past her prime and suffering from extreme neglect with current management.

I had seen the pictures of the well COLORFUL decor online and while it was off putting we decided…read moreto give it a try based on the great location, budget and only a 2 night stay. Well the color scheme gave me vibes of the movie the Shining and the room had an odor of cigarettes. Thankfully we had a wonderful balcony view of the harbor and could leave the door open to air it out some. It's dated and needs to be overhauled. The bathroom has no shower just a tub with a handheld shower attachment. It was fine for a short stay but I wouldn't do it again.

Lighting in the room could have been better. Our room was right next to the restaurant which we were nervous. However we couldn't hear anything but we did smell breakfast in the mornings. Staff are all very welcoming and majority can speak English. The bathroom is on the odd side where it's the toilet, sink and the shower. The shower has no curtain or glass, so when you shower everything gets wet.

Quality/Quantity - The "can-do" positive service makes this place a 6 star visit…read more When we arrived, we got upgraded to a 1 bedroom suite, thank you, as it was so spacious. Small kitchenette, toilet separate from wash room, two balconies, and a living room. More space than we needed, but really appreciated it. The room was slightly dated, but we do not mind as long as it is clean (and safe). We only need the room to sleep in. We spend all or our time in the city we are visiting. And especially thank you for having hotel laundry. If you are following, we have to do laundry every week for our extended travels. Ambiance - See above. Perfect location to all the tourist spots, in the middle of both the North and South Marseilles. Modern lobby. Very small cafe. Safe - You need a room key to get into the building after 10pm and to use elevators. Service - 6 stars. The manager here was more than accommodating and welcoming. Even gave us a verbal exit survey to make sure we enjoyed our stay. Price - Less than $150 a night. Owner Comment - Thanks for an affordable well located place to stay. And please take care of your manager at this location as he is exceptional!!

I am truly at a loss for words at how great our experience here was! My husband and I came to…read moreMarseille for a week for a small honeymoon away and I had made a small mention of that in my booking and was extremely surprised to have been given a free room upgrade and the cutest welcome to our room! I was extremely hesitant to stray away from booking a typical hotel, as that is what I am used to, but after seeing the state of the Airbnb's in Marseille, I am truly grateful we went with Staycity! Everyone was so kind and welcoming from the very first day, to the very last minute! The small touches of tea in the lobby or lemon water/ croissants. The "good morning, how are you?" And the security at the doors really made us feel so safe and welcome in our home away from home. The bed was a little firm but the pillows were cozy and it was nice to have so much space to spread out after long days of exploring. I will be highly recommending Staycity to all of my friends and family if they ever visit Marseille. Y'all are amazing, thank you for great memories!

Pros: -Great price (~$80 per night for a queen bed room)…read more-Clean -Walking distance to many tourist sites -Bilingual staff -Comfortable bed Cons: -The area does not feel safe at night. At all. When we walked around we saw ZERO women and many groups of men just hanging out sizing us up. -You cannot access the hotel lobby without a key card (another sign the neighborhood isn't ideal). It would be okay except when we tried to grab our bags nobody was at the desk to buzz us in (and we had checked out and no longer had key cards). -Thin walls allow a lot of sound to come through at night

Never have I been to a hotel where so much is wrong. But first and foremost the hotel essentially…read morehas no air conditioning! When we asked them to check on our room A/C they essentially admitted that on hot days the systems throughout the hotel cannot keep up but a night it would get better. Wrong! Our room was in the upper 80's to perhaps 90 degrees (as were the lobby and halls) and we would have changed hotels except they said to A/C unit would eventually catch up but "it takes a long time." They knew better. We returned from late dinner and no change, and spent a sleepless night on top of the sheets with sweat literally running down our backs etc. Funny that the room was hot but not the shower which had mostly cold water. The free airport shuttle starting at 5:00 am actually started at 6:05. TheY suggested that we walk! The hotel offered no bell help on check-in but had luggage carts you could use...for a fee! But they couldn't actually get them unlocked to use. I could go on and on but why bother? Unless you a seeking a sauna, stay away from this hotel. The hotel is well located related to the airport, but that was about it for this terrible hotel.

This hotel has the unfortunate disadvantage of sharing a facade with McDonald's. But fortunately,…read morethat is its only flaw...at least to me. I must admit that my expectations weren't that high when I booked my 79€ room. I assumed that it would be fine, nothing more, nothing less. Things got off on to a jolly start when I swung by an hour before check-in, expecting to have to wait in the lobby, but was warmly greeted and told that I could head upstairs right then because the room was ready! This extra hour to freshen up before some meetings was a life send. And then when I asked if there was WiFi, the woman at the desk took pen to paper and immediately wrote down the free code. Hellooo, love this place already! But that was only the beginning. Then, when my meetings at a cafe later that afternoon suddenly turned sour because the WiFI that was a crucial part of my presentation, died, I called the hotel and asked if they had a meeting room free where I could continue my presentation and they said YES, that they did, and since I just needed it for an hour, that I could have it for FREE even though it usually costs like 400€ a day!! Now that's hospitality for you. In addition to that miracle gesture of kindness, the hotel checks all of the boxes that make for a great stay: super central location, quiet room, spacious room layout, pleasant interior design, full bathroom, cool bath products (Anne Semonin, thank you very much), friendly, competent staff and...drumrolll please....a jacuzzi bathtub! I rest my case, this place rocks!!!

The paint on the walls of black and white stripes is akin to the store's outside facade. And just like Sephora, as soon as you walk in the door, the weary traveler is bombarded with the unmistakable fragrance of perfume but unfortunately, instead of it being pleasant it was the awful scent of a bad men's cologne. It's very potent. The first day when we checked in I thought it was just due to a hotel guest whose sense of smell was just dulled due to an accident with his nose. But no, it was the hotel's signature fragrance. The fragrance was there for our entire stay. Luckily, it was confined in the lobby and the rest of the floors were fragrance free. What saved the hotel was how well appointed the rest of the facility was. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom's rain shower had a strong pressure. Additionally, the daily breakfast buffet was very sumptuous. It was just well done. And the best draw was the LOCATION. It is literally steps to the port and all of the sites.
