What was good and what was bad?
Good
- Very pleasant property
- After the Covid period, the hotel was short of staff, which could be felt in the quality of service. These problems have now been solved, and the service is back to its best levels (especially at breakfast where, despite a large number of guests, the service was fast and particularly efficient: well done!)
- Pleasant room with great terrace with a view,
- Smiling and attentive service,
- Perfect location, close to Vieux Port, Mucem museum, in the heart of Panier historical district (with superb Vieille Charité), 15 minutes walk to rue Grignan with elegant boutiques.
- Very nice historical building
- Pleasant indoor pool and spa
- Superb view from the terrace
- Fast wifi
- Very good breakfast. Nice selection of teas.
Bad
- Nothing
Value for $ or IHG One Rewards Points? Would you return?
Yes, for the sun in February, the quality of accommodations and service.
PS: For those interested in soccer (which is not my case), we had breakfast next to Vitor Oliveira, known as Vitinha, a Portuguese striker from Braga, who is joining Olympique de Marseille and obviously living at the hotel at the moment.
