Travel + Leisure "It’s only 10 minutes on foot to the city’s historic center, but the hotel’s buzzy restaurant and bar makes Mama’s house a destination in its own right." Full review

Ask reception to book you one of 40 beach chairs reserved for guest use at the beach next to Skate Park Borély, which is a few miles' drive away.
Rough Guide Star
"Eagerly awaited Marseille sister of the hip Paris original, combining stylish design and boutique hotel comforts... with budget prices."
Frommer's "Tucked into the hipster cours Julien district, this unique hotel is the brainchild of designer Philippe Starck." Full review
Fodor's "Designed by Philippe Starck, the rooms although smallish try to make you feel as though you're staying in a shishi hotel—iMacs mounted on the wall—but with cheaper hotel rates." Full review
Wallpaper "Philippe Starck has always had the measure of the style-hungry traveller." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "A six-story, 127-room hotel in this year's European Capital of Culture, in a quiet, mostly residential neighborhood within strolling distance of the artsy Cours Julien district and the old port." Full review
Jetsetter "Playful and affordable Philippe Starck-designed hotel with foosball, DJs, and a strong sense of whimsy." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"Designed by Philippe Starck, Mama Shelter aims to bring urban chic within the range of everyone (not least the urban chic themselves)." Full review
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"The brainchild of Serge Trigano, son of Gilbert (Club Med creator), this affordable-chic new kid on the block opened with a bang in 2012." Full review
Frommer's "Rooms are bright and cool, from the modular furnishings to the wall-mounted Macs offering dozens of free on-demand movies...this is an excellent bet for a contemporary taste of France’s second city." Full review

Make sure to book a sea-facing room since the focus of this basic hotel is the views.
Fodor's "This straightforward lodging has been modernized to include tight double-pane windows, slick modular baths, and a laminate-and-all-weather carpeted look."
Rough Guide "Comfortable, attractive two-star hotel on the Vieux Port. Public areas are a little gloomy but rooms are modern, soundproofed and a/c; the more expensive ones look out onto the Vieux Port."
Lonely Planet "The Alizé has ringside views of the Vieux Port's carnival atmosphere and across up to the Basilique Notre Dame de la Garde."
