Top hotels in 6th Arrondissement
Hôtel Maison Montgrand Marseille Vieux Port
The hotel has a few buildings on the same street. The staff was great, very friendly and helpful. The restaurant and sitting areas were very nice. The location is great, a few minute walk to the old town but far enough away that your not bombarded with tourists at your door.

I didn't get breakfast, no wine bottle either. Not VIP

Toyoko Inn Marseille Saint Charles
Room was more than suitable and location was a few minutes from st Charles station easy travel to airport and to metro around the city. A major bonus was the electronic toilet in the room who my fellow guest Kevin vaughan said was surprisingly enjoyable but it tickles a bit.
