This is a great hotel right on Vieux Port. As other people have highlighted, you go up a couple of flights of stairs to get to the reception which is staffed 24/7. A lift is available from reception to the upper 3 floors of the hotel. I didnt find the steps too bad. My room was facing the port and had great views out across the sea and Marseille. The room itself was spotlessly clean, spacious and had a modern and tranquil vibe. Despite it's location, it was quiet and zoned out the noise from the street. Staff are very helpful and friendly and you can leave your luggage no problem if you want to explore on the day you check out. A big shout out to Yvette for helping me with directions, transport information and luggage storage. I never ate breakfast but they provided free homemade fresh lemon tea which was really refreshing in the heat alongside other drinks. There is space around the reception area to sit and relax. If you want to go over to Chateux d'lf the ticket office and boat departs right opposite. Get up early and make sure you get a ticket first thing so you can board the 9.50am boat. As the day bulds up the ques build and its too hot to stand in a que... There is also a bus and metro stop opposite the hotel to get about. A ticket machine is on the street for tickets to both. Its around 3.80 for a return trip. The number 83 bus comes every 5 minutes and goes up the coast to the Corniche where all the beaches are. It's really easy to get and buses returning also come every 5 minutes. It's a beautiful journey and you'll get to see the lovely coast and the little places/villages enroute. You also get great coastal views and can see the Chateux d'lf quite well. Many beaches to choose from and Prophet beach was nice. The bus route and stops are highlighted inside on a screen by lights so you always know what the upcoming stop is. Also to the right of the hotel is where you head to explore the Panier area which is a maze of winding streets with a great atmosphere that leads down to the sea front, church and the Museum. A great hotel alround and would stay again.
