The maintenance is not great. Light bulbs not replaced and the hot water stopped working in my shower.

If you are interested in the architecture of Corbu this is a must. Access is available to a large part of the building including most of the roof terrace. It's located well away from the port area but the transport connections are frequent and inexpensive. The road that runs past Unite is pretty busy and noisy as are the parakeets which live in the trees. Breakfast in the hotel restaurant which is a fascinating space is well worth the extra payment and much better value than the cafe next door.

It would be great if there was a small fridge in the room.

This is an iconic masterpiece in the history of architecture. The joy was just being in the space. The rooms are original, so they are small, but delightful.

There could've been a few more plug sockets. Had to heat the kettle on the floor as there were only two sockets in the room.

The staff went out of their way to accommodate any requests. They were polite and friendly. The room was spacious with a large comfortable bed.

We would have liked to eat in the restaurant - the tasting menu was just not of interest and out of our price bracket - but we would have paid a premium price for a more normal meal!

Staying at L'Unite d'Habitation was a lifelong ambition and I was not disappointed. Beautifully refurbished preserving the spirit of Le Corbusier - but with a better bathroom! Breakfast was excellent and in such a lovely environment. Bus and metro route back to Marseille central easy and cheap. The staff at the hotel were wonderful and very friendly, we enjoyed the bookshop and access to the building afforded to us as temporary residents.

Very close to the city, short walk to the metro. Simple but great breakfast . Hotel is a UNESCO world heritage site. Take time to explore the complete building and its history, excellent views from the roof. Room was small but adequate and clean.

Bed was not what was expected in terms of comfort. Floors creaked, and can be heard at night.

Friendliness of the staff. I tried to speak French, maybe that was to do with it. There was a problem with the lock, and a lovely lady came to fix it and she was very chatty and cordial.

I wish there was a program to help restore and maintain building and surrounding landscape better. It’s a very important site.

The room was lovely and in keeping with the Le Corbusier style however there were issues. Wall plugs not working correctly. Occasional table that fell apart. Worst was a terrible leaking shower on an extremely slippery floor surface, the water flooded every time even after a short shower and the slippery floor was dangerous.

Amazing to stay in a unesco site hotel that is an architectural landmark like living within a museum exhibit and very interesting to explore the rooms shops and roof terrace.

Initially found the hotel hard to find as it's located on 2 floors in a larger building.

The hotel was good value for us as we were attending a rugby world cup game at the stadium just across the road.

My single room was teeny and a bit homespun - but that’s the experience of this historic building.

Exciting to stay in this iconic building. Not to be judged by normal criteria. Very friendly welcome. Excellent breakfast looking out to the Mediterranean.

Over priced for what you get.

Location was great

Room was a little bit tired.

Great opportunity to stay in this highly influential architectural masterpiece. The building is well maintained and the rooftop is fabulous. Rooms are small -as expected. Staff were helpful.

Unique experience staying in a world heritage building. Staff very attentive to our requirement to check in late, due to circumstances beyond control.

We tried to book for dinner however we were disappointed there were no vegetarian options so we had to decline the booking.

The breakfast was good & sitting on terrace was very enjoyable. The authenticity of the place was impressive.

Plumbing maintenance would help.

Located in an iconic building , the stay cannot be compared to typical hotel. Designed on certain principals, the rooms offer a different aspect of size and space proportions, looks small but feels great.

Pillow hidden in the cupboard

Good view, excellent food

The bed wasn't the most comfortable. We enjoyed exploring a different part of Marseille but it is quite a distance (walk and metro) from the centre.

Fantastic historic building and definitely got to appreciate better from staying there rather than just visiting. Watching the sunset from the restaurant terrace or the roof top fabulous.

no duvet, just a thin bedsheets, small room, thick walls

Stayed in April 2023

we had several problems: a cockroach in the room,electricity, WC flush and hot shower not working… nevertheless, the staff was ready to find a solution quickly and sent us to another room to shower.

Great experience for architects/designers

No clear signs for hotel parking, etc. could improve.

The access to the wonderful terrace, the convenience of an onsite bar and restaurant with great views and the wonderful staff - efficient, friendly & professional.

The architectural history

Stayed in July 2022

The period furnishings that matched the building history. The friendly service at the bar and breakfast. The historic building.

Stayed in June 2022

Given the price of the room, I was expecting a bit more comfort. The walls were super thin and I could hear everything in the other rooms. The toilets were outside of the room, the curtains were not covering the window so I was awaken by the daylight. The breakfast was not served before 08:00 which is a pity as the restaurant looked amazing but I had an early plane to catch. This was a nice hotel, very arty but a bit pricey I guess for what they offer.

The building itself and the decoration, very arty, the rooftop, the restaurant and balcony looked amazing, the view. And was closed to the Stade Velodrome.
