The location of the hotel could not be better. Very near Vieux Port. And also good acess to Gare/Airport-shuttle via Metro. The staff makes you feel welcome and are very serviceminded. (Of course english-speaking.) Our room (44) with view over a quiet garden. Large and practical bathroom. Fast wi-fi. Small room. 8M2. (14m2 included hall and bath.) Narrow twin beds. Plastic cover between between sheet and matress. (We took them away.) Little space for luggage.If you stay gardenside below 4th floor, you will have limited view. Very small elevator. Stairs in urgent need of make-up. Extremly complicated wi-fi. My recommendation and evaluation of this hotel is strictly restricted to my room, and for young persons. Older and fatter (like ourselves) should benefit from paying little more and go to some of the hotels left from entrance of Hotel de Sud. Which we will do next time in Marseille.

The staff were really friendly and helpful. Everyone spoke fluent English and were happy to recommend sites and activities to do around the area. There was also someone available by the reception desk 24/7. Room was clean and maintained by housekeeping each day. Located off the main street within walking distance (50 metres approx) to the Vieux Port and metro stop. Although I liked the lift in the hotel, I believe for most they may find it very small. Only allowing a maximum of two average sized people at the one time with little luggage. The wi-fi connection in the room was very weak (we were located on the top floor) wi-fi connection is a lot stronger once on the ground floor. Room was a little small but comfortable. However, we were travelling with other friends who stayed at a hotel around the corner on the main street and they had a much bigger room and in better condition by paying an extra 10 euros.

The stuff was very friendly, spoke English and gave us recommendaitons about things to do and about good restaurants nearby. The bathroom was recently renovated and the metro stop and a public parking (19eur per night) are literally a block away. That's all the good things I can say (besides helpful reception stuff - see above). The lst of things we didn't like is much longer: The corridors had dingy carpets, the rooms itself were outdated and didn't look too clean. The elevator is so small that if your suitcase is a size of check- in luggage, you might have to send the suitcase upstairs on its own (if you are 110lb as I am, then you can actually try to squeeze next to it). The central ac was working only part of the time, so it would get very hot in the room at night, and the window unit blew air that smelled like smoke if you try to turn it on. Oh, and you can smoke in the hotel rooms (there was an ash-tray, the room smelled slightly, and the window ac unit had a filter fill with smoke) so be careful if you are not a smoker yourself. The worse part though was the wifi access: they give you a code and you have to log in every time that you use internet. The network itself is password free, so it's not like your computer can remember the credentials. When you connect to a network you have to enter your credentials in the browser window, and you do it every time you open our browser or if the browser was inactive for a few minutes. That was so annoying!! Oh, and if you have two computers - ask for two codes. And if you have iphone or iPad - then pretty much forget about this wifi because you get logged off all the time. Really, really annoying. Finallly, they lie about "10 minutes walk to the train station". We measured - it's 20 minutes fast walk ffrom the station (downhill) without a suitcase. To the station it would be uphill, and with a suitcase it would be a nightmare. You can take a metro, but you need to carry your luggage down the stairs (escalator doens' go all the way).

We were very close to Vieux Port with public parking round the corner. The room was spotless with a well-appointed bathroom (including a bath). Our room was at the back of the hotel and was very quiet.

“new (2012) and tastefully decorated, next to the airport shuttle stop at st charles station. 7/8mins walk to the old port, plenty of decent brasseries around. staff brilliant! helpful and professional. breakfast little bit expensive but includes ham and cheese (not the dreaded french continental b`fast). the maitres home-made croissants and petit-pains are fantastic! thanks. rooms little small for long stay maybe but ample for a few days (many rooms with small balcony with view of the st charles steps and the mountains. just the right mix, highly recommended.” Kevin, Coventry |
