Good value hotel, very well located by the old port. Our room was extremely small (and didn't have…read morea view) but we did pay the cheaper rate. Breakfast was good and they didn't charge us for the morning when we didn't wake up in time for it! Staff were very friendly and didn't laugh at my poor French skills. In summary, good hotel, great location.

We loved our time spent at Hotel Peron and plan to stay there any time we return to Marseilles…read more It's an older place, but we prefer that sort of charming atmosphere over the sterility of today's hotels. In Hotel Peron we felt the essence of Marseilles with all its history and time-worn beauty. The room in which we stayed was clean, comfortable and well stocked with patterned parquet floors and a delightfully quirky bathroom, the staff was very helpful and kind (we were happy they spoke better English than our terrible French), and the view from our 2nd floor corner room was SPECTACULAR - directly out to the sea! Honestly, we've no complaint to make at all, only high recommendations to anyone visiting lovely Marseilles who wants to feel as if they're actually THERE. Room Tip: Ask for a corner room from the second floor up. If none are available, any facing the sea will look right out to the blue water."

The location is perfect, right off the main harbor. The rooms were clean and comfortable. With all the restaurants and bars nearby, the room was very quiet. The bathrooms are generous with a huge bathtub! We would highly recommend staying here, and we would absolutely return the next time we are in Marseilles.

Ne ratez pas l'Europe Hôtel ! Je viens de passer une semaine…read moreà l'Europe hôtel avant de m'installer définitivement dans la cité phocéenne et j'ai été plus que ravi de mon séjour. 5 raisons d'y poser ses valises : 1. L'hôtel est en plein centre ville, à 20 mètres du Vieux port, à 10 minutes à pied de la gare, entre l'Opéra et la canebière. Tout est vraiment accessible. 2. Le personnel est accueillant, serviable et disponible. Après une semaine, ils ont tous un mot sympa, une attention particulière. 3. Les chambres sont propres, la décoration relativement récente. 4. Le superflu qui fait du bien : Climatisation/Chauffage dans la chambre, et la TNT. 5. Le petit-déjeuner à volonté entre 7h et midi. 7h c'est parfait pour aller travailler. Midi c'est génial le weekend J'espère vous avoir convaincu du détour. En tous cas, moi je l'ai été.

I have finally gotten a taste of Marseille's seaside beauty and there is no going back! After…read morestaying in hotels on the Vieux Port for every previous visit I finally took a local's advice and booked a room at this modest seaside hotel with sweeping 180 views and the sounds of waves lapping while you sleep. So gorgeous was the view from my room that I almost felt guilty being there on business! I quickly got over it, when I realized that on a Wednesday afternoon the beach next door (yes, next door!) was packed with locals soaking up the indian summer rays. In Marseille (I am quickly learning) when the weather rocks (which is often the case) it's hard to think of anything but dropping everything you're doing and heading to the beach. So in between appointments I snuck in a little "reconnaissance" excursion to the beach next door just to get a true feel for the place. So, back to the hotel. I both love and hate the fact that this hotel is so modest in terms of looks and services. I mean with its location, they could invest a few thousand euros and make the hotel in a snazzy boutique number and charge double what they do. But this is Marseille, and snazzy is not what this city is about, which is why you can find a seaside room here like I did for less than 100E a night. My double room was up on the third floor, which meant great views, but a high climb up the stairwell with suitcase in tow since there is no elevator. The stairwell and hallways could use a good paint job in one unified colored as opposed to the chipped kaleidoscope of colors their currently in. The bedroom itself was small, but had all of the essentials (except a full-length mirror), including a nice bathtub, very comfortable bed, small desk and TV. In addition to the steady WiFi and fabulous outdoor dining terrasse where you can work and/or eat in the sunshine, I can't think of a better bang for your buck in town.
