Proximity to water! Small touches go a long way.

The only thing to criticise: because of the views and rooms close to the sea you tend to forgive that the house is not well maintained, curtains are dirty and have big wholes in the expensive junior suite, toilet flush is not stable etc. - once remodelled, the hotel didn’t try to keep the high standard, dommage. With a few handymen it could easily be fixed!

My fav hotel, like a light sea breeze, love the minimal style and the location, rooms make you feel as if you sleep in the Mediterranean🙌🏻.

The lighting in the rooms were are very stark white which is a shame because the room is nice. We ran out of shampoo and lotion the first night and they let us know they didn’t have any more which for the cost of the room is not ideal when staying multiple nights..

Great location, attentive staff, nice room views.

Nothing everything was excellent

Small boutique hotel with great views and fantastic service. Our room had two balconies overlooking the water, with an exceptional view. Rooms are new and have small little extras like a loan beach bag and towels which no other hotel offered is such a practical extra. We also were gifted a cute beach tote. Staff were incredibly helpful and requests were dealt with so quickly. Room very comfortable and would return again. Excellent roof top bar

No parking. The closest parking is one where the vehicles are frequently broken into.

Les Bords de Mer was a veritable breath of fresh air in the not-so-clean city of Marseille. The hotel is refined, extremely clean, and comfortable. The staff are really nice. You can't beat the lovely view of the Mediterranean!

Nothing, it was perfect. The rooftop bar were close unfortunately but for safety reason.

The Hotel was perfect. The view, the location, the food, the facilities, the staff, even the smell in the property was insane. I end up buying their room spray. Will definitely come back my next trip in Marseille.

The roof top pool is ingenious but tiny. Enough room for two at a time maximum. There are sun loungers but no shade. Our balcony was spacious but only had chairs, not loungers, so we thought our upgrade was a waste of money. The room was tasteful but designed without enough thought to practicality - no drawers so most of our belongings sat on a small worktop all week! The roof top bar sounded lovely but was never open when we were thirsty.

Location, location, location!!! Sandy (Plage des Catalans) beach literally next door, many excellent restaurants within 5 minutes walk, La Vieux Port 15-20 minutes walk, choice of bus stops within 2 minutes walk. Bus service brilliant. The Number 83 was our constant friend!! Stunning sea views from every room. We had a lovely room on the first floor with large balcony (upgrade), superb shower room, comfortable bed. Staff all very helpful, with Julie winning the award for the best smile! Lovely food but expensive compared to other restaurants in the Catalans area.

We thought the restaurant was over-rated

Well located , fresh and the air conditioning worked well!!

Our shower no longer had a door and the bathroom was soaked when we showered. The rooms are very compact, but amazing despite this. The bar wasn’t open on the day we were there and whilst we were told we could still sit at the bar, the lights could be turned on.

Amazing position. All the rooms have at least 1 balcony with an incredible view of the turquoise water. The hotel is well maintained. The staff were exceptional too- so accomodating, friendly and helpful.

The only downside was that the rooftop wasn’t open but this was easily solved with complimentary access to the nearby famous Marseille swim club (a really great perk!)

The hotel is in a stunning location with floor to ceiling windows looking out at the sea, a view you’d struggle to get anywhere else. Our room was large, comfortable and well stocked with water, coffee & juices. The staff were so friendly and accommodating too!

clean, luxurious and very friendly

beautiful hotel overlooking the sea, you won’t find a better location.

The property faces the sea and is in a great part of town.

Stayed in June 2024

the rooms are on the small side but the bathrooms are generous, which works for me!

The hotel is right by the ocean, with abundant natural light, breeze, and sound of the waves lapping. It is bright and uplifting. The restaurant there, though small, has an interesting menu of seafood with asian flavours. On top, the location is great. we will be back!

We were sorry the rooftop bar remained closed during our stay along with the outdoor pool. This was all weather related of course but I was under the impression the pool would be ready for the season. (Thankfully I inquired about swimming and was informed (by the front desk) that the CNM pool nearby was available for me to use and was given a voucher...so glad that I asked!)

The rooms are on the small side...but the bonus balcony and windows to the sea make up for that in a big way. The front staff is friendly and helpful and will accommodate your wish to speak French or English.

The room was very small with an odd, triangular shape, meaning we had to squeeze past the corner of the bed to get from one side of the room to the other. The other thing was that there were no surfaces to put things on. It's also a bit noisy, but ok with ear plugs.

We loved the location and restaurant with excellent food and wine. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, we also had fantastic massages.

I do not know. Everything was excellent!

Fantastic location especially when you like beach and swimming in a crystal clear sea. Great clean and new room with superb view on the Mediterranean.
