Two-star budget hotel on Rue Beauvau, a minute from the Vieux-Port and the Opéra.
Hôtel du Sud Vieux-Port is a two-star budget hotel at 18 Rue Beauvau in the 1st arrondissement of Marseille, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France. Rue Beauvau runs from the Quai des Belges, at the eastern end of the Vieux-Port, towards the Opéra de Marseille, so the hotel is about a minute from the old harbour, the daily fish market and the ferry boat. The Canebière boulevard, the Palais de la Bourse and the Vieux-Port metro station on line 1 are all within a few minutes on foot, and Gare Saint-Charles can be reached by metro in a handful of stops or on foot in roughly twenty minutes uphill.
The street is lined with 18th- and 19th-century buildings and sits in a lively part of the city, with the neoclassical Opéra nearby and the seafood restaurants of the Quai de Rive Neuve on the harbour's southern side within a short stroll. The hotel itself is a simple, economical urban property, aimed at travellers who want a practical bed in the centre rather than on-site services.
Rooms are offered as Double Rooms, Twin Rooms and Triple Rooms, with wifi as the main listed amenity. The triple option suits small groups and families on a budget. There is no restaurant, spa or pool listed, but the surrounding streets provide plenty of cafés, bakeries and brasseries for breakfast and dinner, and the Vieux-Port quays are lined with bouillabaisse and grilled-fish restaurants of varying price.
The service character is basic but central, with a front desk that can help with directions, luggage and information about boat trips to the Frioul islands and the Calanques. Rates of about EUR 60-120 per night make it one of the more affordable options within sight of the harbour, and it fills quickly in summer. The location is lively late into the evening, so light sleepers should ask for a room away from the street.
