Uncooperative staff. Old and neglected facilities. I´m not going back there.
Property located at Bompard area of Marseille. It is Residential area / older part of town / up hill. Property by itself is very nice and as soon as Make past gates VERY Serene and Relaxing. Rooms facing large courtyard with good landscaping and old pine trees. There is a pool and free parking. Parking is easy and secure. Rooms are quiet and pleasing, but by decor and amenities kind of dated. For charging electronics - Lack of USB outlets and for extra outlets there is an old fashioned extension strip, which doesn’t suit Hotel portraying itself as 4 stars. All very clean / personnel very attentive and goes above and beyond. What comes to driving - please be aware that it is old part of town and streets are exceptionally narrow, sometimes only ONE car width. Hairpin turns up etc. Some streets are one car width and both ways / so priority belongs to car which entered first. Google maps giving adequate directions but please be aware of above. Coming from USA it was tough for me / had to back from several narrow streets and drive backwards at tight quarters, to yield to upcoming cars. So then I opted to leave car parked and walked downhill to Old Port area. To go back - one can walk uphill (which is Tasking) or take a Taxi, which are plentiful at Port area. Overall liked this property / quiet and pleasing, but be aware of above - so not to damage rental or personal car ...
I had not been to Marseille in 10 years and really enjoyed coming back This hotel is conveniently located and has a great garden
Pros: very quiet; pretty courtyard; adequate but not exceptional restaurant; 45 minute walk to Notre Dame Cathedral and old port area; parking is included in nightly rate. Cons: Location is extremely difficult to find by car; very narrow streets are hard to negotiate and there is a good chance your car will be scratched or dented; we had to back up ( a long uphill block) 3 times one day to allow others to pass--don't need this stress on vacation; no other restaurants in the immediate area.
This is a lovely small hotel that offers free parking, which is a real bonus. The rooms are small, but clean and pleasant. I enjoyed my meal in the dining room. The waiter was very nice. The hotel also has an outdoor pool.
