    Not luxurious, but good value”

    We were in room 411. It has a strange balcony overlooking (to the side) the patio. The room is certainly NOT luxurious, and you can't readily sit at the desk to work (it's too close to the bed to fit the chair there) but it's functional. The fan for the climate control unit wasn't working well, and it's not clear how to operate the thermostat, but they gave us a separate heater unit to use instead. There is a grand piano in the lobby (that you're not allowed to play or touch). The two elevators are separate, so you push one or the other call button. The location is great... half block from both the T2 tram (to the south) and the Notre Dame du Mont metro station (to the north). The breakfast is 8.66 Euros (and is fairly limited, but food tends to be high there in Marseille anyway).

    Location, service

    we only had a one day stay in marseilles, so location was key. this place was just 2 metro stops or a manageable walk from the main train station. it's also walkable from here to the port and many interesting neighborhoods. the room itself was nothing special, but we have no complaints either. we would stay here again for the location and value.

    We redeemed Agoda bonus point for one night stay in Marseille and thus the hotel price was incredibly cheap! The hotel was very very basic and just okay for one night stay. Parking was quite challenging which made you don't want to drive out after parked. The carpark was a bit terrible and quite dark.

    1) We checked-in to the hotel today (room 104) and immediately realised that there was no light in the bathroom. We reported this to the reception and they promised us to fix it. When we came back to the room 7h after there were still no light. We again called the reception, they came to check and it appeared that the lamp was broken and it's not possible to fix it during our stay. So in fact we paid for the room with private bathroom but now we have to stay 2 nights in a room without being able to use the bathroom. 2) Just before going to bed we found a cockroach on our bedsheet

    Bare bones but bed was clean (floor was not). The location is great and the place was comfortable enough. Hit or miss on cigarette smells in all locations (especially elevators). Got in late on the 19th, person on duty seemed only angry and annoyed with me (I would use the words condescending and belligerent), not helpful at all, made me question my stay. The following shifts were all covered by people who were incredibly helpful and kind.
