This cannot be rated as a three star hotel. It is extremely overpriced and would have been more reasonable at half the rate. Problems were: lumpy mattress, noisy, smells in both the room and lobby. You have to carry your luggage up the first flight of stairs before reaching reception, and when you do get the lift it is too small for two people plus luggage. Our room was very dark; the only window was on to a light well, at the bottom of which was accumulated rubbish. It was not really possible to sit on the toilet and close the toilet door. The hotel is in a very dirty part of a city which seems to suffer from a problem with rubbish and unfinished construction.

I am disappointed that hotels.com listed this as 3 star.

The area is terribly noisy due to construction in the streets, so making business calls from the hotel room was not good.

Also, the internet connection is 5 Euro an hour or 15 Euro for the whole day - WAY TOO EXPENSIVE.

I do not recommend this hotel for business traveler.

We spent one night at this hotel and definitely felt it was not a 3 star hotel . It was noisy due to paper thin walls, construction in the area outside of the hotel, and in less than a favorable part of town. We witnessed a fight in the street outside of our hotel that the police were called to handle. The hotel itself is old with old, musty furniture and lots of steps. We spent two and a half weeks in Europe in eight different hotels and this was the only bad experience we had. We would never stay there again and would definitely not recommend it to anyone.

Situated in a grimey area. Noisy as construction work going on in square. The area smells. I cannot see why it is 3 star rated. The lobby smells. Room functional. Breakfast was rubbish, for 9 euros. Much better to go to one of the caffs in the Vieux Port. I really like Marseilles, incidentally.
