Stayed here in Summer '22 and I'm still thinking about it. The accommodations are lovely and…read morefurnished in a cozy, chic way that this happy American found to be just, well, disarmingly...French. The couple that owns the place is friendly and kind, and they went out of their way to give me recommendations for things to do while staying there. And yes, all of the guest-facing staff speak English in addition to French, and a few speak German as well (and perhaps other languages). Breakfast is each morning in the kitchen and courtyard, served by the friendly staff who were also more than happy to give me personally tailored recommendations for activities. As I sat in on the balcony table overlooking the courtyard eating my pastries, yogurt, and egg, sipping my morning coffee, I wondered if I had really, truly, peaked. The location, in my opinion, is excellent. It's a stone's throw from the central train station and walkable to the port. The particular street it sits on is not particularly beautiful, but the beautiful, serene courtyard makes up for it. I loved Marseille and Pension Edelweiss was a big part of why. A bientôt, mes amis...je veux vous revoir.

From the owner: Chambre d'hôte fleurie La Pension Edelweiss est une chambre d'hôte composée de 4 chambres à la déco…read morechic et un brin rétro, installée dans un grand duplex, pas très loin de la Gare Saint-Charles. Les chambres sont spacieuses, bénéficiant toutes d'un balcon ou d'une terrasse et équipée d'une télé et de l'accès wi-fi. Ce qui retient l'attention c'est cette décoration originale faite avec du mobilier rétro et vintage des années 30 à 70. Le petit-déjeuner est compris dans la nuit et se prend au Comptoir Dugommier, tout proche et qui appartient aux propriétaires du lieu.

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.

Nice clean rooms in a very central location. The room we stayed in had a great view of the harbor…read moreand the shopping area. The rooms are clean but smaller than anticipated. The staff were all great and made some nice recommendations.
