Hotel 2-star in Marseille

Presentation

The B&B Hôtel Marseille Parc Chanot overlooks Boulevard Rabatau, in the 8th arrondissement, just a stone’s throw from the Vélodrome and the Palais des Congrès et des Expositions. It is easy to reach via the A50 motorway, or in a few minutes from Saint-Charles station. On match nights, the neighborhood takes on a different face: the terraces fill up, the shops stay open late, and the hotel becomes a practical base for anyone coming to see OM play at home.

At the reception desk, open day and night, there is always someone available for a quick piece of information or to help out with a crib or an iron. Nothing fancy. Just what you need, when you need it.

The 82 rooms favor a compact format rather than spaciousness. You do not come here looking for a suite, but for a comfortable bed and a private bathroom that gets the job done. Air conditioning throughout, unlimited Wi‑Fi, a flat-screen TV with Canal+ and RMC Sports for those who prefer to follow the match before going to experience it at the stadium. This tighter format, inherited from the codes of the well-designed budget hotel, suits a one- or two-night stopover; families looking for a real living room will be better off elsewhere.

In the morning, head to the breakfast room. All-you-can-eat buffet, toast bar, dairy products, fruit juices, hot drinks. Expect to pay 9.50 euros per adult, 4.50 euros for children under 10. This is far from a gourmet buffet, but the essentials are there, with a family-friendly price.

Beneath the hotel, an underground parking lot with video surveillance allows you to leave the car in peace while you explore Marseille on foot or by public transport. One detail to note before bringing in a van or a utility vehicle: the height is limited to 1.90 meters at the entrance.

The rooms and common areas are accessible to guests with reduced mobility, and can be booked directly online. Pets are accepted for an additional 6 euros per night.

Outside, the Prado and its shopping streets open up directly, with plenty of places to eat and drink on terraces at any hour. To reach the Old Port or Notre-Dame de la Garde, it is best to rely on public transport or allow a good twenty minutes on foot.

A small tip if you arrive late: the reception never closes, so a delayed train or a late-night flight will not be a problem; someone will be there to hand you the keys.

Summary of a few positive reviews read on the Web

Arrived late in the evening, someone was at reception despite the hour. Clear explanations about parking, nothing to complain about with the welcome.
Room on the ground floor, I expected street noise, but it was actually very quiet. Small but spotless and well thought out.
Just a stone’s throw from the Rond-point du Prado stop, several bus lines right outside. Convenient for getting to the Vélodrome without taking the car.
PRM room booked online without any trouble, easy wheelchair access all the way to the breakfast room.
Breakfast buffet was decent, child rate charged separately, practical when traveling with little ones.
