Fodor's Expert Review Hôtel La Résidence du Vieux Port

18 quai du Port, Marseille, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, 13002, France Fodor's Choice

The flat, glass-and-concrete facade of this postwar structure grants all the port-facing rooms here broad views of the Vieux Port all the way to Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde. The modernist rooms are nicely done up in Mondrian-esque primary colors with 1950s-style artwork and handsome black bathrooms. For an extra €30 or so you can get a room with a terrace, most of which are spacious enough to accommodate a bistro table. Well-priced suites on the top floor may be worth a small splurge, as they have larger terraces and an extra room for kids. 

PROS

  • great price for such an ideal location
  • superb views of the Vieux Port
  • cheerful decor and service

CONS

  • terrace views are partially obstructed by concrete railings
  • breakfast not included in price unless chosen when booking
  • some bathrooms on the small side
