The hotel is in a nice neighborhood of Marseille. It is safe and close to the Metro. The hotel is clean and staff is welcoming. The breakfast is very good. Recommended for a stay in Marseille.
Lovely hotel
Well located.
Comfortable bed.
Air conditioning works well.
A few minor drawbacks:
The room faced the avenue, so it was too noisy to open the windows. However, with the windows closed, the noise was barely noticeable.
In the bathroom, the bathtub faucet was missing a cover but worked fine, and the shower screen could use some fixing.
Above all, the staff were truly kind and very helpful.
A hotel I would definitely recommend.
Room was nicely renovated and we would stay here again. Comfortable bed. Only negative was there was some black mold looking stuff on shower floor.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
While the staff was very friendly, and the hotel was clean and inviting, property had a few issues. Our AC didn’t work properly (it was cooler in the hallways and lobby) and the shower didn’t drain well. The cleaning staff was attentive, but would forget things like a bathroom rug and there were no washcloths.
Looks old, smells old, does not feel safe. Surrounding and parking lot are a place where people pee. Staff does not care. Furniture is damaged. View is terrible
We had a lovely few days staying here as a couple. The hotel staff were very friendly and knowledgeable, and spoke very good English when required too. The room was spacious, clean and well equipped, and felt quiet despite being next to a busy street.
Good location also for exploring Marseille with good metro/bus connections.
Lovely breakfast with lots to choose from.
Many thanks!
This property was AMAZING!! The only complaint I have is that in the winter months the rooms are too warm and made the nights uncomfortable. I was able to open the windows for the nice breeze but I prefer AC at night just for safety... Very friendly staff, great breakfast, very clean room.
Extremely Disappointing Stay – Not Worth the Price
Our experience at this hotel was very unpleasant, and unfortunately, we cannot recommend it. For the price we paid, we expected at least a basic level of comfort and hospitality, but instead we encountered multiple issues:
Hygiene and Comfort: The bed sheets had bugs, which made it impossible to feel comfortable or safe. The drinking cups provided were not glass but cheap plastic, giving the impression of a low-standard hostel rather than a hotel.
Bathroom Facilities: The shower head was blocked and did not function properly.
Environment: Around the hotel there was an overwhelming smell of excrement, most likely coming from the gutters – an awful experience just walking in and out.
Service and Hospitality: There was no friendly service, no English spoken anywhere (and not even an effort to try), and at times staff were even sarcastic towards us.
Food: Breakfast was very poor – limited hot plates, no cheese slices, no intercontinental food options.
Facilities: The facade and reception area were not welcoming for tourists. There was no parking facility, and we were not allowed to use the charging station. The windows in the room could not be opened fully, meaning no fresh air. The room itself was cramped, filled with extra unused beds, leaving no space to sit or relax.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The ac had a really worse smell. The technician tried to solve the problem, but it didnt worked out. Besides the ac wasnt working at all. The Breakfast was quite ok, except the coffee area. Those Nespresso machines were horrible. Such a hotel should provide modern machines with easy handling. You should be aware that english isnt commonly spoken at that hotel. Even the staff has a big lack of english. So please be prepared to know the main sentences en francais to get what your asking for.
