We stayed here in April and found it to be very comfortable and clean. The staff spoke English and were very accommodating, even letting us check in a few hours early when we arrived sooner than expected. A great option which was good value for money.

We spent five days in Marseilles staying at this hotel while visiting our daughter who is studying there. The hotel is well situated on the front at the old port in a busy area. Although it gets busy we found there was not a lot of noise . The hotel is soundproofed, to limit the sound of traffic outside. Ideally... More

The first thing to comment on the Escale Oceania is the location. Like the Guide Michelin says, it could not be more central, or perfect. Literally adjacent to the Metro (Vieux Port) means instant transport to anywhere is easy without using taxis. Staff were friendly, although with a very slight whiff of haughtiness (or was it smugness?) that you have... More

This hotel has perfect location, and very helpful staff. It ıs clean and convenient. The only two negative things are they don't have room service and no porter to carry your suitcases.(specially if you have back problem like me it is too bad) No fridge in rooms. Overall good stay and will surely go back.

Location of Hotel is wonderful. Great view from our balcony. Room was very clean and modern. Bit small. Rooms could do with a small fridge, tea and coffee facilities.

Just got back from an excellent five-night stay at the Escale Oceania Marseille during the 'Twixtmas' period. Normally we hire a car when on holiday but as this was a city and we'd read reports of mad driving and narrow streets in Marseille, we decided to rely on public transport. Good choice - the RTM is excellent value, for 10.50... More
