Amazing staff! Very nice place for the price and great location for exploring all Marseille has to offer. Rooms were nice and clean and everyone was charming. Highly recommend the breakfast. Merci!
Hotel and room great decor except bathroom which felt like it had been forgotten. Amazing breakfast and staff. Close to Marseille St Charles and Vieux Port.
We had such a wonderful stay at Hotel Ligo in Marseille! We booked two apartments as we were traveling with my parents, and they were incredibly comfortable, spacious, and thoughtfully designed, everything was functional and made traveling as a family so easy.
What really stood out, was all the thoughtful touches and the warmth of the staff. From the lovely handwritten welcome note and gift waiting for us upon arrival, to the fresh and varied breakfast, everything made us feel genuinely welcomed.
We also loved the afternoon snack bar, and a very special mention has to go to Zakaria, who was absolutely wonderful. He has such a warm and engaging personality and makes an effort to connect with every guest, adults and children alike. His friendliness and genuine hospitality added something very special to our stay.
Our only regret is that we stayed for just one night! We highly recommend this hotel.
We were expecting a bottle of champagne when we arrived. That never happened. The cleaning staff didn’t always replenish our towels or coffee had to ask the front desk 3 of 7 days.
Likes the hydration station, it was very handy.
Front desk staff always greeted us as we arrived or leaving for the day. That’s was also nice.
We (two middle aged women) stayed one night to break a journey, so we weren't looking for shops. The hotel really worked for us in terms of vicinity to the station and the seafront, where we had a stroll.
The room was very nice. Breakfast was lovely and generous for the price.
The room and the staff are very nice but there is not enough air in teh room; we had to let the window open-

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Staff are very knowledgeable and extremely courtious.
There was a geat vibe and the place felt safe and welcoming.
Great breakfast with lots of choice.
The hotel was a very good surprise. We had an apartment and a double room, both of which were very clean and spacious. We also tried the breakfast which was excellent and full of choices. Just one small observation for the staff: a few more smiles make the clients feel better ;)
Beautiful spaces, smart design and decoration, very handy water and tea station, very convenient location, 10 min on foot from the main bus & train station, also from the old port. Convenient stores and restaurants that stay open till late and serve all day long as well.
Well behaved staff, very efficient, speaking english very well!
Modern hotel with bigger room. Location is closed to old port. Customer service is good. Nice breakfast with many choices.

good hotel, excellent location, friendly and helpful staff. But NO air conditioning - which during a heatwave was miserable.
Rooms were also not the cleanliest. Cloud have been better!

Great location, spacous clean rooms, very helpful staff.
Only negative is the room AC is difficult to work to liking.
No English speaking chanels on the TV in room. Lots of Apps on the Smart TV but the internet signal not strong to run the programs like Netflix, Prime etc.
I was so grateful to the staff for letting us check in so late due to a wildfire and the airport delaying our flight. He kept in touch over WhatsApp. The rooms are huge for Europe! We were very comfortable. AC in July was super cold! Great place if you’re just sight seeing for a few days and not in the room too much and in need of a pool etc. thank you Hotel Ligo!
