Staycity Aparthotels Marseille Centre Vieux Port

The staff were very friendly, the size of the room was exactly what we expected, and it had everything we needed

First — and this is important if you’re travelling by car — I would strongly advise against leaving your car at the Indigo car park near the hotel. Just look at the reviews: there are an alarming number of reports of break-ins, smashed windows and luggage being stolen from cars, along with plenty of photos showing the damage. We absolutely didn’t feel comfortable leaving our car there, so we had to book a secure car park instead — and the nearest suitable option we found was a full 20-minute walk from the hotel. Definitely something to keep in mind if you’re arriving with a car and luggage. Secondly, the room itself is really showing its age. The doors are all scratched and worn, the mattress springs squeak, there was a huge crack in the glass of the balcony door, and in the kitchenette the wall was badly swollen and damaged, almost as if something had exploded there (see photo). There is basically no soundproofing either: we fell asleep to a very heated debate happening somewhere outside and woke up to the sound of glass bottles being thrown into the bins. Thirdly, breakfast was extremely basic. A lady behind the counter hands you a couple of croissants, some butter, cheese and coffee. It all felt rather sad and underwhelming, to be honest.

Very clean, comfortable with parking next door. Helpful staff. Well equipped room. Easy walk to Vieux Port.

Proximity to Old Port. Short walking distance from main station.

Could do with more free tea/coffee

Nice and helpful staff, laundry room in hotel, 24 hr reception desk

Tiny toilet :)
