“Solid no frills French hotel”

When I booked this hotel, I was looking for a small, clean, safe, chill, local vibe hotel within walking distance or short taxi ride to most of what I wanted to see in a single day stay. This hotel did a good job on most of these requirements. The reason I gave it a 4 out of 5 stars is bc I feel it needs new curtains, wider blackout currents to stop more light from coming in and a little over all TLC. It was a small room without question but that worked perfect for me as a solo. The bathroom had recently been renovated and was nice. The door was heavy metal door and seems very secure. I want to commend the restaurant! It is located in an open air garden within the main building and the food was amazing! Limited selection but fantastic. The restaurant staff was very nice and helpful. The WiFi was not good at all in my hotel room but was great in main building. The location was great and allowed me to walk to most of the sights I was interested in.

“A very convenient hotel with small but well kitted out facilities in the room.”

Very convenient location. It has a nice little courtyard at the back of the hotel (although quite noisy as right beside a school!) Nice sounds of happy kids! We had a room that was rather like a little bed sit - it had a tiny weeny well kitted out kitchen, with the possibility of heating up and … more

Very convenient location. It has a nice little courtyard at the back of the hotel (although quite noisy as right beside a school!) Nice sounds of happy kids! We had a room that was rather like a little bed sit - it had a tiny weeny well kitted out kitchen, with the possibility of heating up and preparing food. The room was in a separate section of the hotel - a sort of annexe. The staff at reception were not that easy or warm but that is about the only criticism - for the price I think it is very good. We had a balcony although it was blocked all ways by buildings and not that great.

Felt a bit less-safe as there was no front desk

“Nice hotel in a great location, but with some drawbacks…”

This hotel is definitely five star for its marvellous friendly, helpful, charming staff: all lovely but an especial mention to the receptionist Erlinda, and the waitress Loan. It’s also a good five for the public areas: the garden is glorious, and the 24/7 bar is nicely designed and comfy. It’s als… more

This hotel is definitely five star for its marvellous friendly, helpful, charming staff: all lovely but an especial mention to the receptionist Erlinda, and the waitress Loan. It’s also a good five for the public areas: the garden is glorious, and the 24/7 bar is nicely designed and comfy. It’s also in a great location, a little back from the bustle of the Vieux Port, on a quieter street, but very easy walking distance from the port and everywhere else you might want to go in Marseille. The hotel loses a star because the bedrooms and apartment aren’t in the lovely reception building, but in a range of other buildings along the street, which is a little strange. Our bedroom was in a rather dingy, drab, cramped building across the road, and the room was rather small and basic. A huge contrast to the public rooms. Also, one day at breakfast they seemed to have run out of a lot of things that weren’t being replaced quickly enough. It’s a shame, because the wonderful staff generally work their socks off! I would come back, but I’d choose my room carefully.
