Get the best deals and avoid common mistakes.
Book 2-3 months ahead for June to September and for weekends with home matches at the Stade Vélodrome; harbour-view and Corniche sea-view rooms sell out first.
The Vieux-Port and Le Panier area is best for sightseeing on foot; the Saint-Charles station area costs less and has direct metro line 2 and the airport shuttle.
Rooms facing the quays can be noisy late into the evening; ask for a courtyard-facing room if you sleep lightly.
Check that air conditioning is listed for July and August stays; some small and older hotels have none.
Hotels on the Corniche and in Bonneveine are scenic but far from the centre; check bus, metro and tram links or taxi times before booking.
A per-night tourist tax is charged on top of the room rate and is usually paid at check-out.
Marseille has a deep pool of aparthotels near Euroméditerranée and Saint-Charles that suit stays of several nights.
