Hotel Mercure Marseille Canebière (inauguración: julio de 2019)

La habitación estaba cómoda y la ubicación del hotel es muy buena.

Had my second stay here, this time in a lovely top floor room with views out across the city towards Notre Dame. Huge LG TV, lovely Nuxe toiletries, monsoon shower, and excellent housekeeping - everything spotless. Good North-African themed tapas in the hotel restaurant, and the guy in charge there was particularly helpful/friendly, recommending which bits of the city had good street art when I mentioned that was one of the main reasons I came to Marseille (Cours Julien fyi, which also has some fab cafes and vintage shops). My only gripe was the handling of the bill (as follows). My debit card was pre-authorised on arrival (and in excess of the actual cost of the room, but I assumed this to be an additional security deposit or similar, do didn't really feel too concerned at the time). When it came to checkout, it was agreed that we would let the pre-authorised amount stand, and I would be refunded the difference between that and the actual, final bill. However, when I checked my bank balance 3 days later I was shocked to find that I'd been billed for the full amount again, and the pre-authorised amount had not been released - so essentially I'd been charged twice (or twice and a bit, when you allow for the fact the first billing was an over-estimate anyway). This follows on from a cancelled pre-paid booking the previous year (due to Covid restrictions) that was supposed to be fully refundable, which I also really struggled to get back (it was eventually repaid but quite belatedly). So, I'm not saying don't stay here, because it is a really nice hotel in a very vibrant area (lots of cafes with fab Oriental pastries, markets etc) but you will really need to be on top of the financial side of things to ensure you aren't left out of pocket.

Hotel cerca del puerto, moderno y agradable. Aunque la zona está muy concurrida, pero está cerca de todo

El hotel es muy cómodo, con buenas instalaciones, limpio, cuidado. El personal es muy amable y la ubicación es excelente.

After having a not-so-great hotel experience in Marseille several days earlier, this hotel more than exceeded expectations. it was clean, comfortable, and centrally-located. I would absolutely stay here again! Plenty of parking garages nearby, and a very short walk to Vieux Port, restaurants, and shops.
