An internet search landed me at Le Petit Jardin, both because it is a price performer and because it appeared to be in a safe and quiet part of Marseille, which has a somewhat gritty reputation [I actually didn't see much of anything seedy in 3 days]. I was specifically looking for a place that would give me the feel... more

A terrific alternative to hotels for the same price. 20 minute walk from the centre, but such a lovely spot & no hard slog. Hosts & breakfast brilliant, as were the rooms. Very unique, will look for B&B/Guesthouses instead of hotels in France from now on! more

My boyfriend and I stayed one night in the Asia room after a couple of nights in another hotel in the Vieux Port. The Asia room is in the basement and the walls are carved out of the rock, giving a real wow factor. There is also a lovely quiet garden. The room is complete with aircon and a stereo... more

We began our two week break with three nights at Le Petit Jardin and wished we could have stayed much longer. This is such a special place - it is hard to define. The primary memory is of Mauro, such a friendly, helpful and professional host. The room was beautiful, the breakfasts on our own private terrace were a real... more

My expectations were exceeded, and I... more

My girlfriend and I stayed at Le Petit Jardin for 2 nights in early May. It was a fantastic introduction to Marseille and Serge and Mauro were extremely helpful, recommending restaurants and routes to explore the city. The Africa Room was clean, comfortable and spacious. It can be a little difficult to find on the meandering streets of Marseille but... more

If you are visiting Marseille, you must stay at Le Petit Jardin. It is on a narrow one-way street and may be difficult to find at night, but it is well worth the effort. My wife and I stayed in the well-appointed Asia room. The walls look like they were hewn out of solid rock giving it a dazzling "cave-like"... more
