Remember to bring earplugs and a sleep mask if you are a light sleeper. Birds outside made some noise (not much though) and the curtains don’t block all the light.

Lovely personal B&B in the city centre! The host is super lovely and helpful, she really takes care of the visitors. She had upgraded my room and prepared me a vegan breakfast and gave helpful advice for my visit. Rooms are cute and A/C and Wi-Fi worked well. Lovely views from the balcony. The B&B is just opposite to the railway station which was nice and it was easy to find. Late arrival was no problem, I got a code and good instructions to get the key and to find my room.

Maybe a little bit expensive.

Exceptionally nice host. Nice breakfast.

Breakfast was a great way to start the day. Charlotte was very nice, kind, enjoyable.

The stairs but we were aware of it. We also agreed to switch to the third level to accommodate other patrons. We carry backpacks so there was not concerns those with heavy luggage may find it difficult to climb.

Location and the host, of course we can not forget the cats! Caroline was wonderful and her recommendations for sightseeing and eating was spot on.

Not the best immediate neighbourhood and difficult stairs

Close to train and nice walk to old port with a very friendly host.

The check in was super easy and the owner was very accommodating, kind, and helpful. The design of the place was very unique and unlike a lot of new places. Everything was really comfortable and clean. I would love to stay here again if I could.

I was fine with it, but the staircase is entirely what you’d expect in such a building … but some may not. It’s steep, tall, and not so well lit at night. Totally not for limited mobility folk. After dark return home I was okay climbing stairs but did need my phone torch to negotiate the key - keyhole interaction. Update: It appears that my comment concerning the stairwell lighting is misguided. I had just failed to notice / use the timer switch setup that was there. Perhaps I should add another 'pro' up above: "Tolerant of idiot tourists from New Zealand". Irrespective, it's a great little place to stay.

Close to St Charles railway station Lovely owner / concierge … very capable in English Air conditioning Great shower with good water pressure … a small thing, but it brings great joy to a traveller Easy walking to lots of interesting eating and tourism locations Quirky, interesting older style B&B.

Narrow, steep stairs to the bedrooms. Would be hard to manage luggage though Owner was very helpful with accomplishing that.

Room was small, but adequate; nicely furnished, and quiet. Breakfast was good every morning though the same. The Owner/Manager was very helpful and friendly. The location was very convenient to the train station; was able to walk to the Port as all downhill. Some Questionable neighborhoods getting there. Best to take Metro back. Nice Bakery next door to B & B.

Unique hidden spot right near the train station. The host went out of her way to serve us breakfast, even though we slept through the posted time. Good conversation. Bed was very comfortable and the shower was nice and hot with high water pressure

Nothing.

A great homely property in an excellent location. The house has real character and proprietor is very welcoming and helpful.

Stayed in October 2023

Nothing. And absolutely NO bed bugs!

Above & beyond what might be expected. The owner gave a lasting positive impression. Do please give Casa Ortega your serious consideration when booking a stay in Marseille.

Marseille bit of a culture shock initially but then loved the energy

breakfast was fabulous room was very good location terrific - across from train station and walkable to old town

Stayed in September 2023

It was a bit hard to find on a small street. Just a small sign on the door. A better location description and/or directions would have helped us (and our taxi driver).

Was near the center of old Marseille within easy walking distance of the old port. Right across the street from the train station. Proprietor was very friendly, accommodating and helpful. Very secure. Good breakfast included in the price.

if you could have

We liked everything about this well-run chic B&B. The decor, the ambience, the comfortable bed, the excellent shower, the wonderful breakfasts and the helpfulness and friendliness of Caroline, the owner-manager who really cares about her guests. The most memorable hotel that we have stayed in for a while. For the traveller arriving and departing by train it is but a few steps away from the main railway station, St Charles. (Note that the guest rooms are on many floors, and there is no lift so it may be a consideration for those with mobility issues. You could always check before booking if 'our' room on level 1 is available!)

It may be useful for some clients to know that there are stairs to climb however I did not find this an issue.

Located near the station and with easy access to the old port. Supermarket, cafés and boulangerie all nearby. Lovely breakfast in sparkling company. Casa ortega had a lot of character.

Stayed in September 2023

Nothing about the property. The street it was on and surrounding streets a bit dirty and lots of people hanging around. Caroline has made her place a little oasis on the street.

Retro decor, comfortable bed, nice shower. Caroline is Lovely and very helpful

Stayed in September 2023

Few steps to climb.

The hostess is very friendly and helpful. It felt like we were in our own home. Breakfast was awesome and ideal place to meet the other people also staying in B&B. Variety of cereal, bread and spreads plus unlimited coffee/tea/juice. The decor in this venue is truly extraordinary. Across the street from train station makes it ideal for using the metro plus travelling to/from Marseille. Close to restaurants.

Everything was super-lovely

Really stylish room, a pleasure to stay there. And Caroline was a super-lovely host, offering to store our bicycles in her flat in the same building, and buying gluten-free bread for me for breakfast. Above all: FANTASTIC wallpaper! What’s not to like about Casa Ortega!?

Stayed in September 2023

Caroline is really really nice and she gave us lots of good advice on the trip. We had a good time in Marseille.

Lovely property with excellent character, good location being near the train and bus stations and a very friendly host. The homemade selection of traditional French choices for breakfast were a real treat.
