The location is perfect - right in the middle of everything in the Vieux Port area. Walk to shopping, tons of restaurants, easy access to tourist and local transportation. The rooms are clean, the hotel is well-maintained, the breakfast was great with a lot of options, and the staff is helpful and friendly. Some late-night noise from Le Canebiere below but that’s to be expected when you’re in the heart of it all. A good choice if you’re visiting Marseille.

It’s an older property but workable and more than sufficient for our needs. The location is excellent and staff helpful and courteous. My only complaint was the water had a sulphuric odor and the water was shut off for the entire hotel at 8:30 AM the day we checked out.

The room and amenities itself was nice, and central at the old harbor, however there is no access with a car and no help from the hotel how to reach it by car so you can at least drop off your bags. Staff was unhelpful (actually hung up the phone on us) and we couldn’t gain access to the hotel at midnight though the front desk is 24h.

Whole hotel smelt of blocked drains.
Generally dilapidated and in need of a full refurbishment.
€16 for 2 different types of pastry for breakfast.
Oh and unlimited watered down coffee.
Area around hotel considered safe however,
The rows of drug/drinkers adorning the streets outside really helped add to the stench from the homeless beggars that made the area friendly and welcoming.

The man that checked us in on 13 May was very nice and helpful. The other staff were not so helpful. Did not look up when we came in or out of the building to greet us.
The hotel is old and not very nice. I don’t think it’s even a 3 star. Very very basic room.
There was a three star right around the corner that was much nicer than this one. I would not recommend this hotel.

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
