Pros:

Location, location, location! It doesn’t get better than this. Directly across from the old port and convenient to everything.

Having to climb 48 steps from the street just to get to the main floor. I don’t believe it was mentioned at booking.

Top! Nous avons trouvé notre point de chute à Marseille
Pros:

Très bien placé, il avait tout ce qu’il fallait pour y passer 2-3 nuits. Le personnel était très prévenant. Attention il faut monter un étage sans ascenseur mais le personnel vous propose de l’aide, ils étaient vraiment très sympathiques

Cons:

Ras

Pros:

Obiekt w samym centrum przy porcie.

Cons:

Zdjęcia pokoi nie odpowiadają rzeczywistemu wyglądowi pokoju. Być może w hotelu jest pokój taki jak na zdjęciach ale to zdecydowanie nie był nasz pokój. Nasz pokój był tak mały że ledwo mieściło się w nim łóżko. Również jego wygląd odbiegał od wyglądu pokoju na zdjęciach.

Pros:

L'emplacement sur le vieix et le personnel sympathique

Cons:

La Chambre très sombre car sur un puit de lumière à l'intérieur de l'hôtel. Assez oppressant.
Une odeur peu agréable dans les parties communes.

Good location- staff helped my wife go up the steps with her luggage
Pros:

Location

Cons:

That there were 2 or 3 flights of stairs with no lift before you get to the reception area. They would have been better to say no view and leave it at that but they said courtyard. Courtyard of air conditioners and storage. No access to the “courtyard”.

Pros:

Fantastic location at the Vieux Port, ideal for exploring Marseille’s different quarters. In addition, all of the staff that I interacted with were really friendly and helpful staff in the hotel.

Cons:

Room needed some care taken over it. Although it was clean, there was a lot of evidence of wear and tear.
