Stay was okay but not what I expected. Room was small, very basic, noisy, and a bit run down. Advertised as a hotel but actually a guesthouse, which felt misleading. Surrounding area was lovely and the host was great, but overall I expected better.

Excellent location minutes from the port. Good for shirt stay but minuscule room with no a/c on top floor (no elevator, 3 flights of stairs) uncomfortable at night during hot season despite fan in room. TV was broken on arrival and couldn't be fixed until the end of our stay. Very kind and friendly proprietor, very good wifi, small but fully functional bathroom. Bed was rather small for 2. Good value overall because of location if you're on a tight budget but no more.

The room was very nice, has a fridge. The bed was so comfortable.The only issue which we had was air-conditioning which didn't work as they had some technical issue at that time but they provide us with a fan. Staff very friendly and helpful and localisation is right in a center

The staff was friendly but, there was no AC and they did not have fans for us to uses. We would start sweating the moment we entered the room and it was almost impossible to sleep. They said the ACs were broken because of a maintenance issue with remodeling , the main AC was still working.

We booked this for a one night visit to Marseille and the room was so bad that we ended up leaving at 9pm and not staying. Incredibly stuffy, tiny room with no air con or a fan. Outside the tiny window was another building so no breeze. Noisy neighbours. Booked a double bed and it was a large single, not a double. Would rather have stayed in our car. Owners recently changed and the new ones must be trying to save cost. This place looks like a good cheap option online, but don’t do it. Just pay a bit more for a proper room & bed somewhere else…literally anywhere else.

This was a perfect stay for our time in Marseilles! It is a very very short walk from public train and bus. It is a stone throw away from the absolutely stunning marina. It is a easy bus ride to an amazing public beach with beautiful sand. The restaurants are plentiful and no more than a 2 block walk. There are several in fact immediately around the square where the hotel is situated. There is a Laundromat literally around the corner. Like 3 businesses away. This place had everything we wanted or needed. It said that towels were not provided, but they were. We did ask for a second towel and got it. And they did a spruce up on our second day✨, which wasn't expected. We loved being in the heart of everything! Highly recommend this place! NOT handicap accessible. Lots of stairs. Comfortable beds and someone is there 24 hrs a day.

The hotel is not not ready to receive guests. Renovation is not complete. No air conditioning or even a fan. Expedia says "no elevator - single level property" The no elevator part is true. My room was on what Americans call the 5th floor! The bathroom sink wobbled. There was noise 24/7 between bars, people hanging out talking loudl , garbage trucks, etc. Since there is no a/c closing the window is not an option! Also, the hotel is located in a pedestrian zone with no cars. This should be disclosed in advance. In the middle of a heat wave I could not sleep for 2 days, could not get cool and did not feel well from the heat. I had to leave my large suitcases downstairs in reception. Dragging them up to the room was not possible. On the second night the guest below me smoked (and it wasn't tobacco!) and it came in my window. The wifi is weak and only allowed checking email. I opted to leave asap and not wait for checkout time. This was just about the worst hotel stay ever! I'm so sorry to have to write this but it is simply unfair. The information online is not correct.

Hotel prenotato per tre adulti con tre letti singoli. Ci hanno fatto trovare due letti. Dopo tante discussioni ci hanno adattato un altro letto in una camera strettissima senza aria condizionata. Ci hanno poi portato due ventilatori ma il caldo era insopportabile da sentirsi male. I gestori invece stavano sotto con aria condizionata a tutta forza. Non c'erano armadi perché non c'era spazio e non abbiamo potuto disfare neanche le valige. Non valeva nemmeno mezza stella. Unica nota positiva la posizione centrale.

Le personnel est très charmant et la literie agréable. Petit bémol pour la salle de bain où cela sent l’humidité. Je recommande, toutefois ne pas oublier que vous êtes à Marseille en plein centre du vieux port donc cela est forcément bruyant et c’est normal. Ainsi, cela ne peut pas être reprocher à l’hôtel …
