Staff was super helpful in giving directions to get to the Calanques! And got us breakfast to go for the morning. The room was a little musty and the hallway of guests quite loud, but you could not get a more convenient location next to the train station. The street behind the hotel is a little sketchy, but walking to the old town/downtown On the orher streets surrounding was great!

You let us down Expedia. Way too much money for this horrible place. We felt unsafe, it was old and very dirty and did not resemble the advertised write up.

Front desk were competent, rooms were reasonable priced being so close to the train station. Our room was clean but cramped. Air conditioner worked very well. There was some noise even when the window was closed. Very small elevator and had to walk up one flight of stairs to catch it.

I was quick off the train. This hotel very convenient and filled my immediate need perfectly. It’s the central train station area so nighttime has characters roaming about the neighborhood. The hotel is very established and secure. I would stay again based on its local convenience to everything.

The room was accommodating. I liked how close it was to the train station and it is a very easy 10 min walk to the port. downside to the room was that the bathroom smelled like smoke from the outside, almost like the window wasn't closed, but I could not adjust it. It is a bit loud, but with a white noise app I slept well.
The staff was excellent and went out of their way to help us get information about the city.

Very convenient location and very friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast was basic. Air conditioning in room very effective. Issue was an odd smell of chemicals in room on arrival which developed into an unpleasant drains smell overnight.

Helpful staff at a convenient location and price
Staff were very friendly and helpful providing a map of where to go to eat and spoke both French and English. Room and bathroom had been recently refurbished. My only gripe was that I could not get the shower to run warm and the kettle didn't work. Managed t5o open window so I was able to stand on narrow balcony,
