While Marseille in general was not our favourite stop on our recent European holiday, this hotel did provide a nice reprieve from the hustle and bustle of the more touristy areas. About a 10 minute walk from Le Panier and an hours walk from the bigger "Plage" this hotel has a great location. Make sure you have breakfast on the... More

My wife and I stayed here for 3 nights recently. I booked online and initially thought I had booked a sea view room, when we arrived it turned out I hadn't. After the initial disappointment of this, we were shown our room (29) and were really pleased with it. Two separate rooms, wide screen TV, free wifi, amazing shower with... More

Stayed 2 nites at the Richelieu on vacation. Its funtional,clean and if you get a sea facing room has a great view with breakers all night long. More good quality hostel than hotel, the 2 stars are about right. Note breakfast won't be included, while parking, though tight can be found on the street outside(free from 1800-0900). Can be some...

We stayed in Richelieu for 2 nights on way back to UK from Nice thinking it would be a nice detour. We were wrong, Marseille itself is a large sprawling city, very scruffy, congested and dirty. We had pre-booked parking which turned out to be in a secure private garage but, it was a good 5minute walk from the hotel... More

Firstly I would warn anyone planning to visit gritty, grimy, Marseille in 2012 that it's not a good time due to the large scale improvements being made in readiness for it being the European capital of culture in 2013. It feels like most of the city, especially around the old port, has been dug up, fenced off & populated with... More

We spent three nights in the hotel and were very pleased: the staff is pleasant and helpful, the room was pretty and super clean, they serve really good breakfast on a terrace overlooking the sea and you get four hours of free wi-fi. Also, the location is excellent: right next to the beach and about 15 minutes on foot from... More

The seesight from the terrace is really good, the rooms are big enough for two people, hte breakfast in the morning is a little too expensive. The staff and particulary the woman I suppose is the owner are really kind and sweet. The chemical toilets are the real pain in the ass: they smell every time you use them. I'd... More

We weren't overly impressed with Marseille, however, this hotel made up for it. The location was fabulous. We requested a room with a balcony and sea views after reading other trip advisor reviews - best decision. We had a room with a balcony overlooking the water. The hotel balcony is a great place for a beer (and most of the... More

Hotel located directly overlooking the Med. About 10-15 minutes walk from the "old port" where most of the bars and restaurants are located. Worth asking for a room with a sea view, in my opinion the best feature of the hotel. View from balcony was lovely. Catalan beach about 30 metres walk. Room was brightly decorated although carpet a little... More
