Appart'hôtel Odalys City - Marseille Le Dôme

Aparthotel in Marseille

Presentation

Odalys City aparthotel - Marseille Le Dôme overlooks Boulevard du Maréchal Juin, at the entrance to the 4th arrondissement. It is often reached by road, heading toward the city center or the motorway depending on the direction. The neighborhood does not have the picture-postcard look of the Old Port. It is still being built up, between newer buildings and older streets, a few hundred meters from Le Dôme, the concert hall that gives the address its name, and from the Museum of Fine Arts.

Chartreux metro station is a two-minute walk away. Enough to reach La Canebière or Saint-Charles station without relying on a car, even if the historic center is still a good half-hour walk away. Eleven floors, ninety-eight apartments. The residence opened in 2016 and, a decade later, still has a clean, almost neutral look, designed for stays of several days rather than a one-night stopover.

Each studio or apartment comes with its own kitchenette: ceramic hob, combination microwave, table-top refrigerator. Enough to make yourself a coffee in the morning without going back down. The studio for two people is around 20 to 23 m², enough space to set down your things. Families or groups of four tend to choose the one-bedroom apartment, around 33 m², where the living room also serves as an extra bedroom. The two-bedroom apartment rises to 45 m² and accommodates six people in two separate bedrooms. The bathroom remains simple: a shower, a hairdryer, linens provided.

On the ground floor, the breakfast room opens onto a terrace large enough to get some air before setting off. Service runs from 6:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., with pastries, cereals, eggs, coffee, and tea. There is an extra charge, not included in the room price. A detail that makes sense for anyone who does not want to look for a bakery when they wake up, less so for those who prefer to handle breakfast themselves thanks to the kitchenette.

The reception remains open 24 hours a day, convenient for a late flight or train arrival. The staff, repeatedly praised for their helpfulness, speaks several languages. Underground parking and a laundry room are available on site, for an additional fee. Pets are accepted, at 10 euros per day per animal, and some rooms are accessible to guests with reduced mobility.

At the end of the day, on the way back up from the center, the lit windows on the upper floors hint at a view over the neighborhood rooftops and, in the distance, the hills bordering Marseille. One last detail: breakfast is made to order, so it is best to come down before 9:00 a.m. to avoid waiting.
