******Le Petit Nice Passedat

Le Petit Nice Passedat is an absolute treasure of a hotel. Greeted with kindness, very helpful, the cleaning staff attentive and our rooms were always clean and well maintained. The dining options are exquisite as Chef's Passedat's 3 Michelin Star restaurant is on site. The view from our rooms and hotel were that of the Marseille's beautiful Mediterranean and its people. Definitely recommend as a one-and-only. We will return.

Poor service, not a 5* hotel!

Arrogant service, owner… Safe key did not work so no safe available. Room key did not work, had to go back for the other key twice… Non-soundproof room. You could hear everything from the corridor and the other rooms. Smell of cigarette in the room coming through the ventilation. Terrace was nice with a sea view. We rearranged our dinnerplans because of the poor level of service. Not a 5* hotel. Also skipped the breakfast for three days because of the rude service the first morning.

Flott opphold

Veldig bra opphold med deilige avkjølte og store rom. Renhold 2 ganger til dagen var et pluss. Dyr mat på restaurant men 3 stjerners er vel ofte dyrt. Fin opplevelse totalt sett. Luktet litt kloakk/piss gangvei ned mot klippene, det burde kanskje hotellet tatt ansvar for.....

a nice stay overall

It is a nice hotel, though there are lacking a few things: one gym/space where one can work out and a place where you can just chill when it is rainy outside. I think the hotel relies too much on their 3 star michelin restaurant and not on the hotel. With a baby was a little boring during the rainy days. But the Staff was great and the room really clean. The view amazing.

A very specialized hotel experience

To be fair we only spent a quick night. You obviously would chose this hotel for the view as it is RIGHT on the water or the restaurant that we did not eat in. But the hotel is hard to find and uncomfortable to get to if you are driving yourself. It is down a very narrow walled street leading to a motorized gate. Once you get there there is a small parking lot. The hotel itself has a small lobby and bar. The staff was friendly. The rooms were stark and modern. Mine had a quirky set up making it not particularly comfortable. The view was, however, was very beautiful. There was a small pool too that was right on the water. If you are looking to see Marseille you might stay in a more centralized area.

Great location, great service. I paid almost 500 for a room in a first floor without a sea view. It is too much. The pillows had a funny smell and the comfort of the bed was ok. The staff was great, they brought my bags to the room and parked my car, very attentive. They recommended good places to go around.

Best view in Marseille

If you're passing through Marseille, I don't think you can find a hotel with a more breathtaking view than Le Petit Nice. Extra bonus points: the craggy little beach (named Le Petit Nice) is a perfect pre-dinner spot for a swim. Counting down the days until my return...
