Le paradis pour se reposer après un marathon.
Pros:

Hôtel très bien situé, au plus près du vieux port. Calme. Chambre confortable. Bon petit déjeuner. Personnel accueillant.

Cons:

Chambre un peu petite et sans vue sur le port, avec fenêtre donnant sur une cour intérieure (odeurs de cuisine).
Ascenseur en panne (dur pour le 4è étage le lendemain du Trail Marseille-Aix de 42 km ...)

Central location and superlative staff, would 100% recommend!
Pros:

Perfect location, right at the center of Vieux Port, so strategically located for a tourist who wants to be in the middle of the action. Above all though, the staff was stellar: everyone was extremely friendly and just nice to be around. Would certainly go back!

Cons:

Cons:

Odeur désagréable dans tout l'hotel. due aux travaux en cours dans les immeubles voisins.

Séjour agréable
Pros:

Hôtel qui correspond à la description et aussi très bien situé !
Les chambres sont correctes et propres , nous avions réservé 2 chambres et les lits n’étaient pas identiques en taille un en 140 et un en 160cm.
La salle de bain est assez petite avec le wc mais fonctionnelle. (Savon et savon douche 2 en 1 fournis)
Serviettes de toilettes egalement.

Le petit déjeuner sous forme de buffet est disponible à 14€/personne.
Personnels très agréables et sympathique.
Une bagagerie est disponible sur demande.

Cons:

Une bouilloire / petite cafetière dans la chambre aurait été appréciée.

Great place in a perfect location
Pros:

Everything. Part of the charm is, while having everything, it still has a feel of a "hostel". And, there are lots of stairs to get to it...hint: if you have them call a taxi when leaving, the driver will come up and carry your bags down. Would that one could find the same for arriving!😄

Cons:

The stairs.

Keskeinen paikka huikealla näköalalla
Pros:

Näköala, sijainti, palvelu. Myös aamupala ihan kiva, Huoneessa jonkin verran ääntä, mutta jos ottaa satamasta kadun suuntaan huoneen, niin se on luonnollista. Paikkaan nähden erinomainen äänieristys kadulle ja aukiolle

Cons:

Sänky olisi voinut olla hiukan parempi, pientä rosoisuutta tiloissa.
