“Good value for the price”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 October 2010

We wandered into Cassis expecting it to be easy to find a room in late September - wrong! the Tourist Board found us the last room in Hotel Lawrence - tiny, 3rd floor without a lift, but lovely and quiet with a tiny balcony looking up onto the chateau above. The front desk lady was charming and extremely helpful about car parking - the 3 day tourist pass to the multistorey is the best bet and saves stress as you come and go. The bathroom was so small my partner could only just squeeze onto the loo between the shower and the wall - and he's not huge. BUT for 69 euros we certainly weren't complaining and unlike some other reviewers we found our room very clean and the bed fine - all French beds are firm to hard we found regardless of price. Location is ideal for the quai.

“I wish I could say better things”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 August 2010

We stayed here for three nights with our three year old. The room was very small, but that was okay, because we just slept here. The room was quiet and had A/C, but the bathroom was not that clean.
The one lady at the front desk, Alexandra, is very nice and speaks perfect English. The other woman was rude, especially to my husband, which we did not appreciate. But the women who serve breakfast, and also clean the rooms, were very friendly (breakfast was typically French with baquette, croissant, jelly, juice and coffee).
The location is perfect, although they don’t have private parking and you have to find a place to park the car on one of the few parking lots in the center of town.
We would not stay here again because of the rudeness of the one gal at the front desk. Without her it would have been a quite pleasant experience and probably worth a recommendation. Too bad…

“Ode to Hotel Laurence”

There was a traveler named Rees
Who sat on a pot in Cassis
To his dismay
The throne gave away
Dashing his hopes for a piece.

“DISGUSTING! Filthy! We checked out the next morning - without showering!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 May 2010

We took a chance with this hotel for the value and location. It was so filthy that we checked out after one night. The location is great, but seriously, the hotel was grimy, moldy, and just filthy. Disgusting bathroom, the room definitely hadn't been cleaned between guests. I travel a lot, and this was by far the worst ever. I would prefer a sleeping bag on the beach to this dirty place.

“Functional and well-located”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 April 2010
1
person found this review helpful

For 70€ and the location, this hotel is fine. The room was clean and it was quiet at night.

About the front desk, I don't think they're rude exactly, but just very matter-of-fact/direct if you ask them questions.
