Hôtel Hermès
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Book it if location on the Old Port matters more to you than space, and you want to keep the bill low. Skip it if you need a roomy bedroom or bathroom, because tight rooms are the most common complaint.

This is our Budget pick in Marseille. It suits couples and solo travellers who will spend most of the day out, and who want restaurants, shops and public transport at the door. The property lists family rooms and is tagged as pet-friendly, though pet rules and fees are not confirmed.
Travellers with a lot of luggage, or anyone who wants to spend time relaxing in the room, may find it cramped. If that sounds like you, our Best Value pick scores higher for around €50 more a night.
Location and getting around
The address is 2 rue Bonneterie, in the Vieux Port - La Canebière area, and the location score is 9.6, the best of our three Marseille picks. Guests describe a central position on the Old Port near restaurants, shops and public transport.
Marseille Cathedral is about 0.7 km away, roughly 9 minutes on foot. The Museum of European and Mediterranean Civilisations is about 0.8 km, around 10 minutes. Notre-Dame de la Garde is about 1.4 km, close to 18 minutes. These are straight-line estimates and have not been verified, so the real walk may take longer.
What guests say
The score is 8.1 out of 10 from 2,528 reviews. It ranks joint ninth of 12 eligible properties on review score, so it is not one of the highest-rated hotels in the city. The large number of reviews does make the score dependable.
Location is the main strength in guest comments. Staff also get good marks for being friendly and helpful, with a warm welcome and luggage storage.
The clear weakness is space. Guests say bedrooms and bathrooms are tight, with limited floor space and storage. For a 2-star hotel at this price that is not a surprise, but go in expecting it.

Our Best Value pick, Hôtel Amista Marseille, was about €125.82 a night with a 9.0 score and 3 stars. Our Luxury pick, Hôtel C2, was about €213.44 a night with an 8.8 score and 5 stars. Hermès is the cheapest of the three and has the best location score, but also the lowest guest score and the smallest rooms by reputation.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 12 eligible hotels in Marseille. The Budget slot goes to the lowest eligible reference price once the upscale choice is reserved, and at €75.60 this was it. Its Old Port location and more than 2,500 reviews averaging 8.1 make it a reasonable low-cost base.
Listed facilities are family rooms, free Wi-Fi, air conditioning and a terrace. Breakfast is listed as continental and buffet. Availability, opening times and fees for these are not confirmed.
Before you book
Room size, noise, renovation condition, breakfast inclusion and cancellation terms have not been assessed. Given the comments on small rooms, check the listed size of your room category. A central Old Port position can also mean street noise, but we cannot confirm that, so read recent reviews if you are a light sleeper. Confirm breakfast inclusion and the cancellation deadline.
