“Great for a short stay, friendly and helpful staff, and great location in the heart of Marseille!”

My wife and I only stayed one night in Marseille and at Hotel Saint Ferreol in September 2010 before we set off exploring east so we only really used it to sleep. However, the lady at reception was very friendly and keen to help with giving us ideas for quick sight-seeing trips, and spoke english well (which was a big help as our French was average at best!). The room was tidy and there was good internet access (via LAN not Wi-fi) which allowed us to keep planning our subsequent trip. The location was perfect for a quick trip, RIGHT in the heart of Marseille, just a 5 minute walk from the main corniche etc.

“Excellent value”

I was particularly impressed with the courtesy and thoughtfulness of the service.

“Wont see us again here”

The location was nice and central and the hotel was clean but I would definitely not stay there again. It was a bit odd that you have to ring a bel and then have a weird chime sounding until someone lets you in. You can basically not come or go without having to ask to ring a bel to enter the hotel and also it is very odd that we were asked our room number every time we left. Why? Also they do not respect the do not disturb sign as this was ignored.

“Very pleased”

A great, central hotel for a visit to Marseille. Not easy to find because it is in a pedestrian area and the entrance is on a side street. However, I picked this up from other reviews and so had no problem. The hotel is small but very friendly and welcoming, and the service throughout was excellent. Really enjoyed the stay and would definitely stay again.

“Not a good hotel”

The taxi could not drop us off at the hotel. We had to pull our luggage from a nearby street. We had to carry our luggage up a flight of stairs to the checkin desk without assistance. We had to make 2 trips from the checkin desk to our room because the elevator could barely fit one person, a large and a small bag. The buffet breakfast appeared to be complimentary and no price was posted or in any way indicated. We were had to pay 16 Euros for a breakfast that consisted of a boiled egg and juice.

“Brilliant hotel”

I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough- the couple who run it are extremely kind, helpful and patient. Their English is faultless too. It is perfectly located in the centre of town and only a few street from the Tourism Office/ the main railway station. The rooms are well kept and very clean. The price for the rooms are very reasonable too. I'm so glad I found this hotel!

“Relaxed comfort”

I stayed at this hotel for a week in July 2009 while attending a conference in Marseille. The room was comfortable, and large by European standards. The bath was also large and well designed. The location is central, on a busy shopping street that is hopping during the day, but quite quiet at night. It is easy to get everywhere in the old city, and is close to the train station. The best thing about the hotel is definitely the service and the warmth and genuine hospitality of the staff. Free wi-fi was a bonus. Breakfast is good, but not included.

“Måttligt positiv”

Hotellet acceptabelt och bra läge men sunkiga omgivande kvarter. Hela detta område nära hamnen är dock lite nedgånget. Svårt att ta sig till hotellet med bil och parkering endast i relativt närliggande parkeringsgarage.

“hotel saint ferreol Marsiglia”

Hotel in posizione favorevole, proprio "dietro" il Vieux Port, si trova in una traversa di una via pedonale piena di negozi. Parcheggio pubblico sotterraneo a pagamento in Place Charles De Gaulle, a circa 100 m dall'hotel; abbiamo lasciato la macchina dalle 23 alle 10 circa e abbiamo pagato 14 euro. Non abbiamo fatto colazione (10,50 a testa) in hotel perchè la zona è comunque piena di locali e non c'è alcuna difficoltà a trovare qualsiasi tipo di "breakfast" a prezzi molto inferiori. La camera è essenziale con letto ad 1 piazza e mezza, doppi vetri, piccolo televisore con Rai 1. Bagno cieco con vasca e, stranamente per una doppia, con un solo asciugamano piccolo ed uno solo grande; sapone e docciaschiuma presenti, come anche asciugacapelli. Reception aperta 24h, bisogna suonare per farsi aprire il portone. Rapporto qualità/prezzo equo. Per una notte o per brevi periodi da consigliare. Un'annotazione: passeggiando lungo il Vieux Port abbiamo visto un hotel bellissimo con piscina circondata dal parquet, lettini, divani, musica: il Radisson.Ci è sembrato eccezionale , certo la spesa è notevolmente diversa !
