InterContinental Marseille - Hotel Dieu by IHG

The hotel directly faces the Notre-Dame Basilica across the water. The rooms are fairly spacious and well-equipped. The front desk staff were very friendly, and their English was fluent. You can ask the front desk for toothbrushes, and they provide two complimentary bottles of Evian water daily. However, there was no water on our first day—I called room service, but it never arrived, and on the second day, it took them forever to bring it after another call, which was disappointing. Also, the Wi-Fi signal was weak. They have a pillow menu, but the cervical pillow they sent was underwhelming; it barely felt any different from the standard down pillow, just slightly lower, which was barely acceptable. Everything else was pretty good. We booked a room without breakfast. The lobby is on the ground floor (Level 0), and the breakfast restaurant is on the 1st floor. It has a great view—honestly, you're just paying for the view. At €35 per adult and half price for kids, it’s not great value for money. If you walk toward the Old Port, there are plenty of bakeries; we fed seven people for under €50. Upon departure, the concierge booked us a Mercedes van taxi to Marseille Airport for the seven of us. It was €80 during the day (€95 at night), which was quite reasonable, and the driver arrived 15 minutes early! On our last day, we stored our luggage at the hotel during the daytime; they have a dedicated luggage room, which felt very safe and secure. Overall, it was a good stay, and I would likely book here again next time!

This hotel is located right by the Old Port of Marseille, a beautifully converted 18th-century hospital with fantastic views. Enjoying sunrises and sunsets from the balcony was a real highlight. The rooms are spacious with high ceilings. The front desk staff were excellent, and the baggage service was very thorough. However, the room cleaning was quite slow; our room wasn't ready until 5 PM. This hotel is perfect for travelers who prioritize 'views' and 'historical ambiance'.

Make sure to pick a room facing the Old Port and Notre-Dame de la Garde Basilica. Open the window, and there it is, right in front of you. Enjoy a drink on the balcony in the evening – so relaxing! The service is just okay though. In some rooms, the toilet or bathtub has a strange odor coming from it.

The room was quite spacious, likely converted from an older building. I especially loved the window, which had a real sense of history. The hotel is right across from the coastline, and it was very quiet. I really enjoyed it.

The hotel is quite upscale, and the rooms are spacious enough. The outdoor restaurant offers great views, and breakfast is abundant. However, you have to drag your luggage up a tall flight of stairs to reach the lobby, and you have to climb those stairs every time you enter or leave.

Located near Marseille's Old Port and not too far from the train station, with plenty of dining options nearby. The front desk staff were very welcoming; it would be even better if they offered Chinese language service. The breakfast area was pleasant, and the quality was excellent.

This hotel offers a seaside ambiance with a Mediterranean flair. The rooms are well-equipped, and the breakfast on the rooftop is particularly unique, with stunning views. It's perfectly suited for a honeymoon and an excellent choice for a vacation.

Huge thanks to the incredibly friendly staff at the InterContinental Marseille! They kindly upgraded us to a suite for free, and the bellhop who brought our luggage up mentioned it was their largest room. Every time we stepped out into the hallway, we felt like we were staying in a grand manor. The hotel's location is perfect, and the building itself is stunning. We were extremely satisfied with our stay.

I stayed here a few years ago and thought it was great, so I chose it again this time. However, on the night of August 24th, there was a heavy thunderstorm in Marseille, and the hotel suddenly had a power outage for almost half an hour. I couldn't do anything but lie in bed and wait for the power to come back on 😂. A bit disappointing.
