Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a mix of positives and negatives. While the rooms lacked views and showed signs of wear, the service was exceptional. The location was pleasant but shared with another hotel, and the dining experience, albeit pricey, offered a wide range of delicious choices. The facilities were commendable, providing a comfortable stay overall.
The hotel offers a mixed experience with comfortable rooms, friendly service, and a magical location overlooking Marseille. However, the over-stuffed rooms and limited dining options factor into the overall stay.
The hotel is ideally located near the old town with many dining options and a ferry terminal nearby. The rooms are spacious and lovely, especially those facing the harbor. The service was helpful and attentive, with Veronique, the concierge, standing out. The location provides great views of the port and easy access to restaurants and bars. The dining experience, though eclectic, is outstanding, offering grilled seafood dishes. Overall, a pleasant stay with remarkable views and excellent service.
The hotel offers stunning views of the old port, but the room cleanliness could be improved as there were lingering smells of cigarettes and mildew. The service was exceptional, going above and beyond to assist with all requests.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were fine, but ensure you get one facing the harbor for the best views. The service was extremely attentive, but the room change was a bit of a letdown. The location was amazing, close to the center and the port, but there were some noise issues. The dining was eclectic but had some shortcomings. Overall, a decent stay with some ups and downs.
The hotel offers a mix of breathtaking views from some rooms, while others overlook less appealing areas. The rooms are very comfortable and clean, but the service experience varies from rude interactions to friendly and helpful attention. The location is perfect for exploring the city on foot, and the dining experience, although impressive in terms of the buffet, falls short in some basic offerings. Overall, depending on the room allocated and the interactions with staff, the stay can be a mix of excellent comfort and disappointing service.
