                    Not bad but not good enough”

                    Clean, staff service and air condition

                    The room was quite small, and the bed is not big enough for two people, which make us have to be careful during the sleeping cause none of us want to find ourselves wake up on the ground.....

                    The location isn't too far from city center. And the service is really good. And the room is not too big but it's clean.

                    Room, staff, quiet

                    This hotel is quite adequate for short stay over but it is located in a neighborhood that seemingly is almost abandoned. Not really near the train station it is best reached by Metro and then a good walk straight up hill to the hotel. Seemingly there was development planned for this area but virtually all the local businesses, including a big hospital and Carrefour market have closed. The hotel is nice in itself and the staff was helpful and friendly but overall it would not be a good choice except for an overnight stopover.

                    Great location, just a walk from the St Charles station, the port and a supermarket just around the bend. The free wifi is also a plus. After hours the doors to the hotel are locked so its extra safe! The breakfast is a bit expensive (8euro a person) so I recommend going to the nearest supermarket (which isnt 24/7 btw) to buy some bread etc.

                    Salle petit déjeuner. Déco en rapport avec le thême. Amabilité du personnel.
                    Absence totale d'isolation phonique véhiculant ainsi tous les bruits de portes, écoulements tuyauterie, la rue.La chambre est cependant correctement équipée. La création d'un SAS pourrait limiter les bruits de couloir. Prévoir l'isolation (coffrage)des tuyaux collectifs, des eaux usées, traversant la salle d'eau. Rajeunir la salle d'eau.

                    L'environnement extrêmement bruyant (Chambre 212)a gaché le plaisir du week-end. Impossible de se reposer pour profiter frais et dispo d'un week-end attendu. Le vis à vis avec les appartements voisins obligent à maintenir le rideau d'occultation fermé (pas top pour profiter de la lumière naturelle). Une fois au lit, endormissement très difficile dû aux bruits de portes et serrures inserviables. A cela s'ajoutent tout au long de la nuit les chasses d'eau des voisins, les voitures dans la rue et les joyeux fêtards de fin de nuit (02h00 et 04h00). Heureusement que tous ces inconvénients sont en partie compensés par l'amabilité du personnel et la qualité du petit déjeuner...mais ça ne fait pas tout!

                    나는 언제나 호텔을 고를때 가격과 위치, 그리고 주차가 되는지 또한 애완동물 출입이 가능한지를 알아본다. 마르세유에서 이러한 조건을 가장 잘 충족시키는 호텔이었다. 마르세유또한 교통혼잡이 항시 있기때문에 호텔 도착후 차를 주차한 후에 메트로를 이용한다. 메트로 또한 이 호텔 근처에 두개의 역이 있다. 약 5분정도 걸으면 쉽게 찾을 수 있다. 방이 좀 작고 화장실 또한 작다. 하지만 하루 이틀 머물기에는 충분히 편안하며 물세기가 좋아 욕조는 없지만 따뜻한 물도 잘 나오며 샤워의 기분이 아주 좋다.
