loved it. people said it was dangerous, i beg to differ.. the port and the surrounding areas are just lovely. i will return to see more of Marseille

2/5 - Disappointing

Verified traveler

We stayed a week at this property because they were honest. We had issues with other places who were not very trustworthy. Marseille is not a very straightforward experience, you have to be careful where you stay.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

This city is not sightseeing city. Some local trains are dirty on the outside. Rail roads in the station were filled with garbage.

4/5 - Good

Ozzy

During the day and up u til 8pm, it is nice. But when the sun goes down, it gets empty and shady. I was alone and am a female and felt a bit scared. There seems to be many transients that prey on tourists. I felt like I was being followed a few times

3/5 - Okay
