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).
- Very nice historical building (the interior design is elegant,.still Jean-Philippe Nuel has a limited range of creation, which may fail to be truly contemporary, or to highlight the historic architecture).
- Pleasant indoor pool and spa
- Superb view from the terrace

- Fast wifi
- Very good breakfast
- Marseille is a great city

Bad
- Service can be erratic with lack of staff during these Covid period
