Worst hotel ever!! Dont book rooms overthere..... It's old , dirty and looks really bad. Not allowed to use climate control or the heating yourself. Pool?... only with frogs underneath a cover. Room was 32 degrees but wasn't allowed to use airconditioning, because they turn it on after 15th of may. Had nightshift and it was very very noisy... drilling... Disco outside and plumbing makes strange noises... even if everything is not in working order. At multiple sides there was drilling , started at 0900.... told i had nightshift and needed a good sleep they offert me a free breakfast. Tried to explain again.. at 0600 i would just came back to the hotel while they were making breakfast. And i didn't want breakfast but only a lille sleep. You even don't want to sleep here if they pay you....booked 5 days left day 2 no refund...... It's cheap but not worth it at all. This hotel is a nightmare

The place is spacious, wonderful, and enjoyable to sleep in. The place is safe, not at the end of French national security. Thank you

The hotel looks like it’s going to fall apart from the outside. Our room smelled extremely like cigarettes and the staff wouldn’t do anything about it. Our entire stay the wlan wouldn’t work. The rooms weren’t cleaned well and the balcony looked like it has never been cleaned at all. We felt very unsafe in the area around the hotel. I would recommend the hotel to anyone there are way better ones I this price category.

As good place to stay in holidays, a quiet neighboorhood and close of Marseille. You can go to Marseille by train (40min) and back to Port de Bouc for sleep if prefer a quiet night. For young people in the night its a poor village for night out, but close you can go until Carry la Rouet with nice pub and casino. In Hotel you have rooms and appartments, is good for families, for divide with friends its complicated because don't have any privacy. The staff and the responsable are very kind and nice.
