Decent hotel
Small, older hotel that was run by an older couple. They we're very nice, but didn't speak any English, so may want to know a.few phrases of French if you're traveling here. Room was small and outdated, but no major issues. Also, no elevator, just a spiral staircase. However, location was FANTASTIC and value overall for the cost was great, in my opinion. I would definitely stay here again based on those reasons alone.

Great area - close to Port.
Room is tiny though - be prepared to walk on the bed to get to the window.
Good for 1 night - iffy for longer than that.

Nice hotel close to Marseille port
Beautiful, cute and quaint little hotel. Right in front of the Opera building. Single/twin share room was very small, but comfortable for one person. Very welcoming and polite hotel staff.
Greer centrally located hotel, no elevator so have to carry luggage but otherwise great place. Clean rooms with AC and very nice staff

Spotless basic hotel in excellent location
Stayed here several times in past couple of years. Ideal location by Opera next to Vielle Port. Spotlessly clean room, towels and bed linens. Basic room but does come with A/C, TV and small fridge. city view of Opera very pleasant.
The room was shocking, small, dingy, the paint was falling off the walls. The air conditioner made a racket all night. I had to tie the shower up with dental floss to hold it in place. It's above a bar that thumps music till sun up. You would need to pay me to let my dog stay there. I Will bet that no-one from Hotels.com has ever stayed there. Don't waste your money.
This hotel is in a great location. But don't expect much otherwise. It's an older building and hasn't been kept up particularly well. One important point to note is that you have to climb a lot of stairs to get to your room and it's a circular small staircase where the steps can be very uneven. For some people this isnt a big deal for other people this can be a dealbreaker so be warned.
The room I had faced an alley of sorts and I basically got no real sunlight in the room.
They haven't really invested much in the place.
It wasn't terrible. And like I said the location was fantastic. And the price wasn't bad. But don't expect a lot otherwise.

One night stay during the euro,s.
Located about 5 minutes walk from Vieux Port Metro set in a small square off the main port area.The location is excellent for visiting this part of Marseille with plenty of photographic opportunities to be had in the port area.
The hotel was very busy due to the Euro football competition. Although the hotel is basic it represented good value for money on the location alone.Thankfully the hotel has air conditioning which made my stay more pleasant.The staff were most welcoming.

enjoyed stay but very noisy
Owners where very friendly, near the shops and other sightseeing attractions,
The only problem it was very noisy was kept awake the entire night by city noises.

Great location at a budget price
As a solo traveller, I stayed for 5 nights in a single room. The hotel owners were friendly and helpful. My room was very small, but adequate for me. It was clean and comfortable. There were approx. 50-80 stairs up to my room on 4th floor. View of opera house was nice. Hotel location was excellent. Close to the port, shops, cafes, restaurants, etc. If you are looking for budget-style accommodation in a great location, you should consider Hotel Relax. Don't expect deluxe decor. It's all about location and basic, functional accommodation with upper room views adding a nice touch!

Older Hotel But Great Location
Hotel Relax is in a wonderful location to see the sights of Marseille. It is in the Old Port, which means that it is an old building and there is no elevator. The walls are quite thin and we could hear the people/TV next door at all hours. The Wifi didn't seem to work, either. That being said the couple who run the hotel are very nice and offered us a beverage while our room was being prepared. There is a certain charm to the public room and our room was unusual in that it offered two different sleeping areas, each containing a TV, shower and wash basin. Although both areas were small, together they made a larger room than we would have had otherwise.
Il semble que la boite de nuit située non loin de l'hôtel n'ait pas une isolation phonique parfaite, et de ce fait nous entendons légèrement la sono depuis les chambres donnant sur la cour. Sinon, tout est parfait.
Cet hôtel réussit à tourner encore le dos à la mondialisation .... la belle vieille batisse est restée digne, non-détruite par la folie du 'grand luxe' (ce qui à mon avis cache des peurs plus que des envies ou des besoins).
Et ça, tout en étant très bien à tout point de vu. Matériellement, et encore plus, humainement !
Et avec ça, l'hôtel est simplement sur la place de l'Opéra. Et pas cher.
Merci au couple de gérants qui nous accueillent dans leur séjour rococo ; on oublie un instant la rigidité du monde.
Un petit hôtel charmant et familial, au cœur du vieux port.
Une équipe agréable, disponible et souriante.
Ce sera mon hôtel pour tous mes voyages sur Marseille et je vais le recommander à mes amis.
