NNada TannirA wonderful stay. The concierge and staff was very helpful and friendly. Amazing view on the balcony and very spacious rooms with comfortable beds. Will be staying here for future trips and highly recommend this for anyone looking to spend time in Marseilles! View from the room:
VvirginiamikeM****ille was the first stop we went in our trip. Hotel has a great location as it is just opposite to the train station. However, our room had a very sticky smell and we found out the smell came from our toilet. Also the air-conditioner wasn’t really functional so we opened our window to get fresh and cooler air circulation. The free breakfast was good.
YYalaUpside:
The bed was very confortable and the shits were soft.
The kitchen amenities made my stay even more convenient.
There are a few kitchen utensils
There's a metro station near by
There are shower gel and towels
Downside:
The hitter was barely working
The deposit had to be made through card, no cash.
Don't expect to get your deposit back the same day as different banks have different policies, the transfer may be delayed a few days from what I understood.
There's no toothpaste or toothbrushes
VVivian KempFirst time in Marseille. Fine to have stayed at this apartment but probably won't again.
I had to chase for the access instructions myself. Also annoying to have to go pick up the keys from Ibis (collection itself was quick), which is a 9-minute walk to the apartment. The fob worked but the 2 keys attached did not open any doors. Email instructions, while clear, were not entirely accurate - referring to going right when in fact I needed to find the apartment on the left.
Bit of drama one morning as I forgot my phone inside the apartment and had locked myself out. Had keys on me but the keys couldn't actually open the door, and of course I couldn't remember the super-secure 9-digit digital code! Only eventually managed to get in but asking a neighbour who thankfully was able to call the apartment manager. They should have given me working manual keys but never did.
Apartment itself was very clean. Lots of linen. Comfortable bedding in the bedroom as well as hidden under the sofa bed. Basic toiletries included. Washing machine worked. Heating was plenty sufficient. No dishwasher but not an issue as I did not cook much. (2 induction hob rings right against the wall which I didn't think was conducive to cooking anything more than the super basic, but fine for me this trip.)
Overall it was okay. Location super convenient, but I'd prefer somewhere quieter, where people and traffic noise wouldn't be so loud and go on after hours. Also somewhere without people relieving themselves next to large bins right outside the building's front door. Somewhere more pleasant...
