Disappointed
Great location but the rooms are very small. I booked a family room luckily which gave a little extra room but the other rooms have absolutely no room to put your stuff.
The breakfast Buffett was ordinary.
Be prepared to carry luggage up 2 flights of stairs to get to reception and the lift is tiny.

Rooms are small. I would recommend nothing but the Port Vieu. Bathrooms are larger. Rooms were very clean and breakfast was perfect.

Good location, no-frills comfort
Perfect location for one night in Marseille although the room would have felt a bit basic if we had stayed any longer. Great waking up to the view of the harbour. Plenty of good bars and breakfast spots nearby. Room was well soundproofed. The lift was very small and jolted a bit. Staff were friendly and efficient. Would recommend for a one night stay.

Very well situated right opposite the old port. Out room looked over the port and was beautifully cool, with whisper quiet air conditioning. Good breakfasts, home made yoghurt and a good selection of meats, cheeses, breads, croissants and drinks.
The staff could not have been more helpful and spoke several languages.

Hotel life was great but to climb 40 stairs to get to reception was a hassle with suitcases and every time we came back as we did a great deal of walking, which should be expected in Marseille

It's incredibly difficult to find the hotel. The sign on the facade reads Hotel Alize. Between 2 restaurants but set much further back is a tiny awning over the door marking the entrance to Hotel LIFE Leading to a long set of circular stairs before reaching the lobby. There's a weird mildew smell throughout the property. The staff is very nice.The yoga mat in the room is a thoughtful touch and there's just enough floor space to unroll it. Although tiny the room is comfortable and sufficient.

Nice rooms for 2 people maz
Nice hotel & location. Our room for family of three was way too small however. Literally could hardly open door to get in/out. Sure this was due to couch pullout bed taking all space beside the platform bed. Bathroom was very nice. Would be nice room for 2 people. Don’t feel they should be selling it to accomodate more as we are experienced travellers with only one 29” suitcase for all of us and it was impossible to access it unless laying on a bed while doing so! Nice place - too small for 3+
