The hotel is well-located, close to the main harbour tourist area and shopping streets. The rooms, despite being on a busy street, were hot and a bit small for one person. The service was friendly and efficient, especially Theo. The dining experience was mixed with extensive options but some disappointments. The convenient location and array of facilities make it a decent value for money choice.

My stay at the hotel was truly delightful. The rooms were small but really nice and clean. The service was outstanding, especially with the young lady in charge of breakfast who went above and beyond. The location was very convenient, near the station and the water, although lacking good restaurant options nearby. The dining experience was very good, although it would benefit from more variety.

I had a pleasant stay overall. The hotel is located in a central area, within walking distance to the port, which was convenient. The rooms were quiet and cozy, and the service was welcoming and helpful. However, the location seemed a bit sketchy with trash on the streets, and the dining options were normal. The hotel offered good value for the money.

The hotel rooms may look bigger in pictures than they actually are. The stay didn't feel prepared for two people, with a cramped extra bed squeezed in. However, the staff were able to order a taxi when needed, even if they were occasionally unhelpful. The location is within easy walking distance of the main tourist area but has a high risk of misunderstandings with locals. Dining options were very limited and overpriced. The facilities were basic, and some areas showed signs of neglect.

The hotel is located in front of an animated street, offering clean and comfortable rooms, though some are small. The staff is very friendly and kind, providing a wonderful service even during late hours. The location is super close to Vieux Port, with a lot of nice cafes and shops nearby. The dining options are okay but not anything special, with additional options available nearby for better value. Overall, the hotel offers a good experience at a reasonable price.

The hotel is in a superb central location, ideal for exploring Marseille by foot, with friendly and helpful staff. The rooms are tiny but very cozy, clean, and decent in size; however, the bathroom is very small. The dining options are good and tasty, though slightly limited and on the pricey side.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location was convenient for exploring the town and the harbor area, but the room I initially stayed in was too bright due to the street light. The staff were friendly and apologetic about the issue, offering a solution to move to another room. The dining options were satisfying with typical French cuisine. However, the walls in the room had coffee stains, which wasn't very pleasant.
