I felt very safe and the place was clean and tidy. All the rooms were fully equipped, and even had a balcony! The king-sized bed was super comfy and the air conditioning system worked perfectly. The USB charging ports were really convenient. Overall, it was a very comfortable stay. The surrounding area is also great, with a 24-hour convenience store downstairs. It's also within walking distance to the city center and the Old Port.

First off, the location is great. It's not in the Old Port, but it's not too far, within walking distance. There's a pretty large pharmacy right downstairs with very reasonable prices. The front desk staff member spoke fluent Chinese and was very enthusiastic. We had an early flight and planned to just store our luggage and head out, but they gave us a room straight away, allowing us to freshen up after a long journey. The street next door has what's considered the largest commercial center. On the third floor, there's an observation deck – perfect for sunbathing and enjoying the sea breeze, very picturesque. In fact, on our last day, when we were considering staying an extra night in Marseille, our first thought was to come back to this hotel.

The hotel is clean and has most of the amenities. I will recommend this hotel for you stay. Please note that they don’t have a service lift because of which everyone uses the same lift and there is a long wait at any time of the day. Also please note the name of the hotel is Odalys so when ur at the location once google says arrived and it u see odalys that where you should go. I ended going round and round the hotel and finally decided to ask reception when I figured that it’s the same hotel.

1. On June 17th, I had a 'Still in' sign on my door during the day. Although I went out for lunch, I didn't remove the sign as I didn't want anyone entering my room. However, when I returned in the afternoon, I found that the room card I had left in the power slot was gone, stolen! I immediately went downstairs to report to the front desk that my room card had been stolen from the slot inside my room. The front desk had no idea who had entered my room, meaning the person who stole the card could re-enter my room at any time. There was absolutely no security during my stay. The front desk staff were completely unhelpful and showed a passive attitude. 2. On June 18th, around 9 PM, I was taking the elevator downstairs when it broke down and wouldn't open. I was trapped inside, continuously pressing the emergency button. It took several minutes for someone to respond, but still no one came to help me get out. The elevator was a sealed space with no air circulation, which was very uncomfortable. In the end, I had to use all my strength to pry open the door myself to escape. I immediately went downstairs to complain to the front desk. There were two staff members on duty at the time; one sat there as if nothing had happened, while the other had a terrible attitude, stating that he had called maintenance and that the broken elevator was not his problem. I asked, 'Shouldn't you have helped me get out first? If maintenance never arrived, would I have been stuck in an airless elevator?' This hotel clearly has no SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) for elevator breakdowns, simply abandoning guests trapped inside. When I complained after freeing myself, instead of apologizing and comforting me, the duty staff member argued with me, saying he was only responsible for calling maintenance and nothing else. He even dared me to complain to hotel management, saying he didn't care. There was absolutely no service quality. 3. From the theft of my room card from inside my room to being trapped in a broken elevator with no assistance, this hotel offers absolutely no security and terrible service quality.

J’ai beaucoup aimé l’emplacement de l’hôtel car c’est proche de bus, métro, etc donc quand on est sans voiture ça facilite le séjour. La ruelle dans laquelle est l’hôtel n’est pas d’une très grande propreté (odeur d’urine, quelques poubelles) mais ce n’était pas sii gênant et surtout c’était calme le soir, j’ai trouvé aussi que c’était un quartier sûr (je suis venue en tant que femme seule et je rentrais jour/nuit sans aucun soucis). Y’a pleins de boulangeries, cafés, resto, fast food, marchés, à proximité. Seul soucis, l’ascenseur est un peu délabré et la deuxième nuit j’ai trouvé 1 tâche rouge/marron sur mon drap et la même sur ma housse de couette et des trous dans la housse de couette. Inadmissible, je suis allée à la réception et à mon retour pour ma dernière nuit la chambre était IMPECCABLE. Dommage que le minimum n’ait pas été fait avant, mais je remercie le personnel d’avoir été si réactif, très cordial tout du long aussi donc merci à vous!

Upside: The bed was very confortable and the shits were soft. The kitchen amenities made my stay even more convenient. There are a few kitchen utensils There's a metro station near by There are shower gel and towels Downside: The hitter was barely working The deposit had to be made through card, no cash. Don't expect to get your deposit back the same day as different banks have different policies, the transfer may be delayed a few days from what I understood. There's no toothpaste or toothbrushes
