Fantastic location. We had superior room so had a balcony with side view of the port. Reception staff were really friendly and the hotel felt very safe. I would have expected slightly more from a "superior room". Bed was quite basic and we were only provided 2 tea bags (1 green & 1 camomile) so if we both wanted the same - we couldnt. Also the hairdryer in our room was melted and turned bright red when i tried to use it. Bit of a fire hazard. That being said...i would stay here again

Great location. Nice breakfast. Comfortable room. We were on the fifth floor with a beautiful view of Notre Dame de la Garde and the Vieux Port. Only draw back was the noise from the staff closet door next to us. They started opening and closing it early to prepare for breakfast.

Great location

The hotel location was great, right by the old port. Staff was very helpful and friendly. The room was great but smelled of drains (like some of Marseille). The hotel itself has seen better days, staircase partially not cleaned but the room itself couldn’t be faulted and was super clean. Very powerful aircon.

Leesa

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The location and overall condition of our room were excellent. Loved the solid surface floors (not carpet), the USB ports, the separate toilet room from shower/sink, and French doors opening onto a terrace with view of the port. The room was a bit tired - some work needed on walls/basevboards; but, overall, seemed clean and in good condition. The bed was comfortable and the coffee/tea pod machine was great. Staff was very accommodating to bring additional coffee/tea supplies as requested (we didn't have room cleaned/restocked). Checkin/out was a bit odd in that they charge for breakfast and you have to state at checkout that you did not take it (did not book and told reception at checkin would not have breakfast); so, it really is on the customer to confirm no breakfast and get the credit/charge removed upon checkout. But, same lady checked us in and out and she was very nice.

Great Location

The location is great, if you want to feel like part of Marseille. Right on the port, walkable to a ton of stuff. I loved that. It can be a bit noisy from traffic late - didn't bother me at all, but might bother some. Staff was very good. About 1 km from the train station - very walkable.

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
Room was immaculate and a good size. No amenities in room but tea kettle and coffee stuff. No iron. No mini fridge. When I asked for ice reception told me to go to the bar on the corner!!! A real sleazy bar out front. Unsavory characters there. So no place to sit outside. No roof area. No place in hotel. When I asked about a fridge I was told to use a group fridge on second floor shared by all guests. There was no view of harbor unless you stood sideways on tiny balcony and looked left! There are zero facilities at hotel. 2 chairs in teeny lobby. Zilch. We arrived at 11. Were told room not ready until 3. No place to wait!! But they took luggage and put valuables in safe. Checkout: I asked for late. Of course answer was NO! That it was 50 euros an hour after 12 pm!!! Then there was construction drilling at 8 am right bellows at metro. A ripoff at 450 euros. I am not happy

チェックインの際に対応してくださった女性の方はとても親切な方で、ゆっくりと分かりやすく話しかけてくださり本当に嬉しかったです。 チェックアウトの際の若い女性の方は真逆な感じでしたが、それがフランスだと思っているので気にはなりませんでしたが、慣れていないには良い印象が湧かないかと思います。 ホテルの入り口が分かりにくいので少し探しました。 部屋からのロケーションはまぁまぁでしょうか。 ただ、チェックアウト後もスーツケースを預かってくださるのは本当に助かりますし、港にも直ぐですので立地面でも満足しています。
