Horrible, do NOT go to this hotel
Cons:

I rarely write reviews, but after this stay I feel like I absolutely have to. This was genuinely one of the worst hotel experiences I have ever had, and I have never seen anything quite like it.
To start with, you actually had to reserve a spot at the swimming pool, and even then you were only allowed to stay for 30 minutes. Having to plan and reserve a 30-minute swimming slot completely defeats the purpose of having a relaxing holiday.
The hotel had reduced the capacity of the air conditioning, meaning the room remained uncomfortably warm throughout our stay. The room itself looked nothing like the pictures we had seen when booking. The difference between what was advertised and what we actually received was shocking.
And as if that wasn’t bad enough, the cleanliness was completely unacceptable. The room and bathroom did not feel properly cleaned at all, and there were visible stains in the bathroom.
Even worse was the attitude of the staff. They were extremely rude. I honestly cannot remember ever being treated this poorly by hotel staff before.

Hotel confortable, accueil chaleureux, la proximité du Tram3 permet d'aller partout dans Marseille.
Pros:

J'ai apprécié particulièrement l'ambiance générale, la gentillesse du personnel. Mention spéciale à Alex qui qui veille sur nous avec la plus grande prévenance la nuit à l'accueil, pour ces précieux renseignements et conseils (10/10) et à Larbi qui accueille les clients le jour avec une extrême bienveillance (10/10). Également à Héléna, la gouvernante générale qui nous traite comme des invités et est aux petits soins. (10/10)
Merci d'avoir fait de mon séjour un moment chaleureux.

Not great
Pros:

The hotel is very well located, close to some of the main sights, including the Cathédrale Major, the Old Charity, and the Old Port. The staff were generally friendly. Giod breakfast buffet with a friendly server.

Cons:

There is a number of things that we didn't like. The hotel feels very small and almost claustrophobic. Small room even if we reportedly got an "upgrade." The pool is the smallest we've ever seen and anything more than 2 people makes it crowded, and there is mold on the walls. The hamam was not working. The check-in took almost half an hour as there was only one person servicing a dozen guests. We also waited for 15 minutes for an elevator. Housekeeping entered our room even if there was a "Don't disturb" sign at the door...
