N/A

What was good and what was bad?

Good
- Perfect location, close to Vieux Port, new Mucem museum, in the heart of Panier historical district (with superb Vieille Charité), 15 minutes walk to rue Grignan with elegant boutiques. Shared bike station down the hotel (convenient for visiting the city or go by the sea). The weather was so nice that I walked from the central station (less than 15 minutes walk).
- Very nice historical building
- Great staff
- Very good breakfast with a large choice and excellent homemade products (loved the clafoutis!)
- Very pleasant indoor pool and spa
- Fast wifi

Bad
- Nothing

Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return?
Absolutely. A real gem in great Marseille city!
