Superb

Very good

Ideally located for all attractions...

Liked: Hotel was ideally situated a short walk from the harbour, room was excellent, spacious very clean, very comfortable bed. Breakfast was continental but plenty of choices overall an excellent hotel.
Disliked: The location for breakfast was in the reception area with main door in constant use and not enough tables for the number of guests.

One of the best hotels...

Liked: Location could not be better - two minutes from the Vieux Port and 1 minute from the Metro stop. Our deluxe room was dreamy - bright and spacious with huge windows overlooking the pretty streets and a sideways view of the port. The bed was really comfortable with good quality linen and huge pillows. I loved the restful colour scheme in the bedroom, and the deep blue bathroom tiles that made you feel as though you were surrounded by sea. The rain-shower was excellent and really powerful and we also had a bath. I loved the l'Occitane products too. I liked the thoughtful attention to detail, like the handy check-in card with all the room and facility details with a city map. There were two glass bottles of water in the room, a Nespresso machine and some lovely herbal teas. The breakfast options were pretty good - the usuals: yoghurt, bread, cheeses and meats etc.. There were crepes with maple syrup too, which were delicious. If I had one gripe, it could use a little more attention to detail. The coffee is from a machine so it's pretty average while some fresh fruit and fresher pastries would elevate it to excellent. But these are very minor gripes - we loved this hotel and would definitely stay here again next time we come to Marseille.
Disliked: It's lovely to leave the windows open while you sleep but there can be a lot of noise from the port. Once closed, the noise was muted so the double-glazing works.
