Maisons du Monde Hôtel & Suites - Marseille Vieux Port
Great location and nice rooms, breakfast is a little lacking and only one lift. Sound proofing in rooms was really good blocking out most of the port noise but not 100% Would stay again

O café da manhã de domingo que era para ser extendido até as 11 horas, quando chegamos não tinha mais nada nem pão. As atendentes disseram que tinha acabado e ficou por isso mesmo.
