It was the perfect location for me and everyone was very friendly and helpful.
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
Wow! Such an incredible value! Loved the location overlooking the harbor! Windows did a great job of cutting out outside noise!
Breakfast & staff amazing!
Awesome staff and breakfast. Super friendly. Great central location and yet very quiet!!

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+

There are 3 flights of stairs to reach reception. Upon arriving at reception the staff was relatively cold. This is a very basic hotel with a nice paint job. My partner discovered roaches in the trash as well. Overall I would not recommend.
Great location right on the old port. Walkable to all attractions, 1 min away from metro. Lots of shopping dining options around.
Hotel itself is newly renovated and the breakfast was great.

Excellent location surrounded by nice coffee and brunch type eateries. Rooms small but modern and very clean.
The hotel offers so much in terms of discovering Marseille form a central location. So much to see and do and so little time to do it all. We will be back to continue our journey from the same hotel. Hotel Life😊❤👌😍we love you.
Great location - lovely staff. Had to climb 2 flights of stairs with luggage. A helpful staff member helped us. Life available from reception upwards.
Classic room was very small - bed was a pull out sofa which was quite comfortable but little space to move around. Only window was looking into breakfast room - no natural light. I saw the rooms with a port view and they were lovely. Breakfast was excellent. We would stay again in a front room with a view of outdoors.
Great location in Marseille. Easy to find. Just note that whilst rooms are comfortable, they are on the small side. We were only there for 1 night so this suited us. Plenty of restaurants & bars close by. Would recommend a stay here
Hotel was in a great location with friendly and helpful staff. Room was a little smaller than expected but nonetheless, it was good for our short stay.
