Les Bords de Mer

The good: amazing staff, the views from the room and good location. We were greeted with a warm smile and thankfully well spoken English and since we were a bit early to check in, also a glass of wine. The view from the room was fantastic and when we decided to go exploring I realized the hotel was pretty close to everything, about 20 minutes on foot. The lacking: the room was incredibly small with very little storage for clothing. The balcony was also very small making it difficult to settle in for the view. The top floor pool is very small and so cold that it wasn't enjoyable to swim (there were also all the seagull droppings...) and there isn't any shade for lounging. The final let down was breakfast, at 28 Euro a person I was expecting an outstanding meal but that was not the case. My wife ordered well done scrambled eggs and basically got a bowl of egg soup and when she asked to have them cooked more they sent back two hard boiled eggs in the shell. The bacon was so well done that it was practically inedible and my french toast was so sweet that I couldn't even finish half of it. I would stay at the hotel again but I would not eat at the restaurant. The prices are very high and you don't get the quality of food for that price.

A huge thank you to the wonderful team at Hôtel les Bords de Mer! Our business meeting ran late and we didn't arrive until well after we'd planned, but the staff couldn't have been more understanding and welcoming. Waking up to that incredible sea view was just spectacular, and the breakfast was fantastic. I treated myself to a massage which was exactly what I needed - so relaxing! For just one night's stay, it left such a great impression. The whole experience was perfect from start to finish. Thank you for making our short stay so special.

A beautiful stay with amazing views of the Mediterranean Sea. My wife loves the beach and this location was perfect. We could sit on our balcony and watch the sunset. Loved our stay!

Fantastic hotel at the seaside in Marseille near Plage Catalane. The room was clean and new with superb view at the Mediterranean Sea. Very friendly staff makes your stay very pleasant. On top of the roof there is a infinity pool with great view 360. Definitely the best hotel near the sea and center of Marseille. In 10 minutes you walk to the Monument and Vallon des Auffes; fantastic hidden pearl of little fisherman harbor.

Stayed two nigths and was a great location. On the Corniche and just along from Catalan beach at the begining of the coast. Away from the hustle of the Vieux Port yet easily walkable and reachable , so the best of both worlds. Felt like 15 mins to reach Vieux Port on a pleasnat walk in, and and there was always plenty of people about at all times of day and night, so felt safe. It was also easily reachable by the 83 bus that runs constantly from the Vieux Port along the coast. There is a stop just across the road from the hotel to arrive and to leave right next door. Views are stunning, across the bay from the bed rooms that have wall to ceiling glass. The bathroom has a blind you can pull down for privacy and still see a view through your side, and the bedroom has a sliding glass door to open for air. Air con in the room was fine, but when arrived was off, but they fixed it and staff can operate, fix and repair air con from reception. Nice complimentary drinks in room and some biscuits and fruit on arival. Roof top bar was nice for a drink and views before you go into town. Sound wasn't such an issue despit Catalans beach being a busy city one. Could hear abit of cars at times in night, but then silence and wasn't an issue for me. Staff very pleasant and helpful. Big shout out to the young man who wrote me a suggestion of beaches to visit close by and further a field. There is a small spa in the basement and I took a massage that was good. On my last morning i went to the roof top pool. Totally desrted and just lovely views from up there. All in all a lovely relaxing stay, with great views a super location and nice staff.

Pool closed; AC in room broken, electricity out on last day. Staff seemed to think this was normal. No attempts to compensate for the broken/unavailable amenities.
