I was here during the World Water Forum in Marseille so the prices was a bit ridiculous. Having said that, the hotel was very very centrally located so it is a great walk to just about everything. Because it is so centrally located, the room tends to get noisy even though we faced a side street. The breakfast was expensive... More

The hotel is perfectly located - a stone's throw from the vieux port, the main shopping areas and a wealth of cafes and restaurants (both local and touristy). Be aware though that most of the city is undergoing renovations and that there are widespread roadworks in preparation for the Euro capital of culture in 2013. This is obviously not a... More

A great spot on the Vieux Port. The rooms were sound proof. Our room faced the main street to the harbour which runs right in front of the hotel. We walked to the hotel from the train station. The entire city seemed to be undergoing renovation. It was a struggle to pull our suitcases along the road/sidewalk from the train... More

This hotel is in a great location, the staff are helpful and rooms are kept to an excellent standard. After arriving in Marseille the previous night and having an awful experience with our first hotel, my partner and I were looking for somewhere new to stay near the old port. We arrived outside the Escale Oceana hoping that they would... More

Clean rooms, staff speak english, nice location close to vieux port with all the restaurants. More

You can't go wrong staying in this centrally located hotel. The room is tiny, but it's fine considering the view. Would stay here again. More

Just returned from a couple of days in chilly Marseille. Why the city has such a poor image is beyond me. Despite temperatures around zero with a significant wind chill thrown in, we had a great break and found loads to do. The Escale Oceania is right in the heart of the Vieux Port area, central for restaurants, shopping and... More

This hotel is perfectly situated at the end of the main street of Marseille, La Canebière, few meters of the metro and bus stops (line 60 to Notre Dame de la Garde and 83 to the beaches and small villages along the Mediteranean sea). Warm and really helpful staff at reception. Clean rooms and wonderful bathrooms. Location is noisy, but... More

We stayed in Escale Oceania for one night en route to our 7-day cruise, which started in Marseille, France. Location & Surrounding Safety: The hotel is very close to Metro station; only about 1 minute walk. Considered Vieux Port is prorbably the most beautiful and one of the few tourist-worthy places in Marseille, this hotel is located in the center... More
