A cozy small hotel. There are relatively few employees, and sometimes they can't keep up with the service and hygiene of public areas. There are few types of breakfast. But it has a local environment and landscape.

This hotel is within walking distance of the Old Port and the train station. It's very comfortable and clean, with warm service and cozy bedding. My window offered a lovely view of Marseille. Although Marseille is a lively city, this hotel provides a quiet escape from the bustle. I had a very comfortable two-night stay.

Located 15 min by foot away from Marseille Saint Charles. Room is well-fitted. Very comfortable bed with ample shelve spaces and a curtain for privacy and darkness. Bed frame is large and not shaky or creaky. Toilet is large but shower head is a little old as the spouts give uneven pressure (concentrated in the middle). Not many food options nearby past 9pm so be sure to arrive in the city early.

The front desk staff were very welcoming, and they kindly changed my queen room to a twin room. The room was comfortable with a good layout, featuring a separate wet and dry area in the bathroom and a towel rack. It's super convenient to walk to the Old Port, the train station, and the metro. Plus, there's a supermarket and bakery just a few steps away.

Cleaning ladies were demonstrating 53 days in front of the hotel when I arrived. The rotating door was covered with mud and confetti, while the black women danced to loud African beats. A complete shock! They continued during my stay… The front desk was super helpful after I contacted their manager. My flight was delayed and I arrived a day late so they managed to modify my reservation without extra payment. My card didn’t work so I gave a cash deposit and they sent me an email when my suitcase that had been delayed arrived (so as not to wake me up). The housekeeping was average- twice they didn’t restock the water. Once they forgot a cleaning chemical. Another time they didn’t restock the decaffeinated capsules. Also they could have been more generous with the toilet paper. It’s the very thin recycled one, that goes fast. Breakfast was delicious and the restaurant spacious, with a garden overlooking the marina. The room was large, modern and quiet, with an amazing view of the harbor, including both sunsets and sunrises! I even saw the incredible half an hour long fireworks for Bastille day right under my window! The bed is big and comfortable, pillows a bit too soft, lighting is good but there are no toiletries (which was initially problematic due to the lost luggage). Room service wasn’t available the only night that I wanted to order it - due to Bastille day celebrations. The QR code don’t work on my phone so I had to call the reception to order. Also there was no alcoholic drinks listed, plus I had no fridge in the room, so I couldn’t fully relax and enjoy my holiday. The hotel doesn’t have a spa, which is a shame. So I made a reservation online and got a massage in the Hammam spa a few minutes from the hotel)very expensive and not great). The closest one to the hotel was closed. The pool is gorgeous but in another building which requires another elevator to be taken at the ground floor. A bit of a hassle…The gym is basic but good. Gets pretty busy and dirty at the end of the day. There are many nice restaurants nearby and even a small Proxi shop. There is a bus stop 1min away, that goes to the Terrace du Port. And the taxi conveniently dropped me off right in front of the hotel. The Mucem and Cosquer caves visible from the hotel, are a bit pleasant 25min walk away and the well worth the visit. Overall, I was satisfied with my stay, and would come again if the above issues were resolved.

It's close to the metro station, and very convenient to the old town, the hospice, and Marseille Cathedral; the rooms are small and standard, so you need to bring your own toiletries; it's more cost-effective to choose a room with breakfast included, as the milk and bread are quite good, especially the mini croissants which are delicious!

Coming out of the train station, head towards Marseille's Arc de Triomphe. You'll know you're there when you see the Arc de Triomphe Hotel; the entrance is on the right and the hotel itself is on the left. If you have luggage, use the side entrance as the main entrance has steps. The rooms aren't cleaned daily, and extra towels come with an additional charge. It gets incredibly hot in the room, even though it doesn't get much direct sunlight. If the price difference isn't significant, I'd recommend booking a room with a balcony. Those rooms face outwards and offer a view of the Arc de Triomphe. There was a bit of a mix-up with my Ctrip reservation. The younger guy at the front desk couldn't find my booking, but the more experienced staff member was really helpful and sorted it out even before Ctrip could. The French lady at the front desk during check-out was excellent, very proactive, and even said goodbye in Chinese!

The room comes with kitchenware, but there's a 250 Euro deposit collected at check-in, which is refunded by 9 PM on the day of check-out. It's advisable to keep an eye on it, though I haven't encountered any issues personally. The hotel's location is a bit out of the way; you can take bus 83 directly to the Old Port, which is about 10+ stops. The area is quiet, so it's good for sleeping at night. If you don't mind the location too much, it's worth considering.

Disappointing stay for a 4-star hotel. On my first night, the air conditioning didn’t work for the whole hotel and the room was around 25°C, making it very uncomfortable. The front desk was not helpful and no solution to be provided when I reported the issue. The pool and cleanliness is ok. Overall, not up to the expected standard.
