Top 2nd Arrondissement Hotel Reviews

Golden Tulip Marseille Euromed

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel, clean, best breakfast I’ve ever had at a hotel, and friendly staff. Bonus: majority of staff speaks English."

Hôtel LIGO by HappyCulture

10/10 Excellent

"L'hôtel est très bien tenu, propre, avec toutes les commodités. Mention spéciale au petit déjeuner complet, la salle étant très agréable, le personnel se donnant du mal pour que rien ne manque et qu'on se sente bien. L'emplacement est idéal pour visiter Marseille, à deux pas du Panier, du Vieux Port, du Mucem, etc..."

Residhome Marseille

8/10 Good

"Checkin was efficient and got to get in early. We had a studio executive, a large room with bath tub. They supplied bath robes and scuffs . They had drinks in fridge and some snacks. We found out they came with the room and were refreshed the next day. We had breakfast a nice variety. It was about a ten minute walk from a metro. It was also walkable to a lot of the tourist spots."

The People - Marseille - Hostel

8/10 Good

"Great location and friendly staff, with a nice social area on the ground floor. The happy hour drinks were great as well. The private bathroom and bedroom was clean with comfortable beds. My only issue while staying here was that the toilet paper was not replaced for the last two nights of my stay (even though I put up the sign for the cleaners for come in)"
