The standard double rooms are very comfortable and large. My room had a balcony, and I assume all the rooms had one, if not a terrace for the more expensive rooms. The swimming pool area is very nice and smokers can retreat separately, with extra chairs and in the shade. The food is in my opinion a bit expensive, but the quality is excellent...maybe 15 or 20% less on the bill would be more reasonable. The hotel is about 10 minutes walking distance from the beaches and beach side restaurants, but if you want a simple expresso, you can't have it at the counter...you must sit at a table (and pay more than what a coffee should cost). I strongly recommend the Equinoxe Brasserie if you want a very good meal, with good but limited choices on the menu (mangeznotez.com). Stay away from the pizza restaurants, as they are nothing like the original pizzerias... Air conditioning is good, but sometimes hard to control, especially if your room faces the sun all day long.…

Very good breakfast, good service. The rooms sizes vary a lot for the same price. The hot water was an issue at first, but you have to let it run for 10 min and then it worked. We did not try the spa. The TV is on the small side.

The hotel is located very close to the beach (5-8min walk), if you have rooms with view you can see the race track and the golf 🏌️ corse. Receptionists are so helpful and nice, parking is on site and is free for hotel guests. Rooms are spacious and the bathroom is big with a shower and a tub. We had the panoramic room which provided us with two balconies. The pool was nice but I didn’t like it much as the water wasn’t so clean, also you can book two hours slots to visit the pool due to COVID restrictions. There’s a nearby mall where you can buy many things you might need (e.g. Carrefour, Pharmacy and clothing shops). Although COVID rules are stringent, you can enjoy a good breakfast with a lot of choices and decent quality in addition hot plates can be provided (e.g. Omelette). Overall a nice visit. …

we were a group of 13 people starting and ending a trip through Haute Provence end of november. The hotel staff was very pleasant and helpful, we could park our van (that did not fit in the garage) in front of the hotel overnight. Rooms were great (I was upgraded to superior room with view over the racetrack), quiet, all very clean, offering a great breakfast. The Hotel even arranged a courier back to Germany for stuff that we forgot in the storage locker room. The Hotel is not in the city center, but in a good and safe area, close to the see. Definitly my first choice for the next trip to Marseille.

We enjoyed our stay in the hotel, junior suit was big and comfortable but the accessible bathroom in the lobby has a problemt. It is too small for the shelf for babies, it fell on my head, and the trash container is small and need to open with pedal, not so easy for disabled people. We had also a communication problem with the reception. We asked yesterday evening to order a big taxi because we had many suitcases. The lady promised to take care and sayed don't worry. The taxi early in the morning was small and we had to take another taxi.so we payed extra to the first one for waiting with us until the second taxi arrived and the total was 150€ for 2 taxis Instead of 1 mini van or station vagon which we asked originally. we fill disappointed now

Dear arina1836, We would like to thank you for let us know how you feel about your recent stay in our hotel. We are sorry to learn you feel disappointed & sincerely apologize for the inconvenience concerning the shelf for babies in the bathroom. Be sure we instantly fix it as soon as we read your comment, that's why it's very important for us to be informed about these problems. Concerning the taxi, I confirm your order was well treated by our staff when you asked for it. It seems that there was a lack of communication between night & day shifts, but the fact there was no mini van in the morning is clearly attributable to the taxi compagny. Sincerely yours, Sandrine Torres, General Manager.

Advantages : Underground parking Quiet rooms overlooking the hippodrome, comfortable room amenities Pleasant and helpful reception staff Downside : Hotel bar shut on New Years Eve as of 19.30 !!! Must be the only bar in France closed on this day...amazing ! Despite paying the room rate in advance a deposit of 150Euros is blocked on your credit card for a 2 day stay and there is no mini bar...this is not justifiable. Anyhow the room was fine and our receptionists saved the day by the fact that room service served drinks ( apart from wine and champagne ) during the New Year evening ( I won't tell you the price however ). Good stay apart from everything and will go back when there is not a holiday period. !

this is a golf course restaurant, with view on the golf course and horse track if you eat outside. There is AC inside. The food is delicate, but portions are great. Service is impeccable. We had a wok of asian food, and squids. Desserts are wonderful, and the ice cream is local from an artisan in Le Panier. Parking is underneath he hotel Massalia. Menus are around 37€ but the wok only would be 22€.

We planned to stay in Marseille for one night on our way to Lake Garda but we loved it there and the hotel was fabulous. Great view over the racecourse and close to lots of restaurants and shops. The hotel is a little out of Marseille so we took the bus and walked back. Beside the hotel is a beautiful park, good for running and walking. We hired a tandem from the hotel which was fun but a bit nerve wracking when the traffic was busy! The pool and outside bar area are lovely. The staff are all very friendly and most helpful.
