This hotel looks and feels like a boutique hotel, and I enjoyed my stay. My room was small by American standards, but spacious by European ones. Everything was very clean (and this was true of all the areas in the hotel). The bed was quite comfortable, although the sheets and pillowcases were a little rough compared to what I'm used to. The wall-mounted LCD TV had a few English channels (mainly news). The bathroom consisted of a walk-in shower (no tub), a sink area, and a separate WC for the toilet. Like most (if not all?) French hotels, there was no iron or ironing board. However, there was an automatic coffee maker as well as a very small fridge (with complimentary water and carbonated water). My only complaint about the room is that temperature control was extremely difficult. My room was terribly HOT when I arrived (probably about 85 degrees) and the only way to cool it down was to open the single window. There was no air conditioning. There is no business center in the hotel, but there is a very small area for accessing the internet on a computer in the lobby. Fortunately, wireless at the hotel is free and you'll just need to acquire a username/password at the front desk. By the way, the staff at the front desk speak English so that ignorant Americans like myself could communicate. ;) The best part about this hotel was the incredible free breakfast. The selection and quality were beyond compare. Fresh breads of all varieties, pastries, meats, cheeses, fruit, juices, cereals, eggs, sausage/bacon, yogurt (and other packaged items like rice pudding and applesauce), and freshly ground/brewed espresso drinks. Just divine... and I miss it already. Besides being within walking distance of the convention center, the hotel was a very short distance from the Marseille metro. The neighborhood was fairly busy, with lots of traffic. If you plan on opening the window, bring ear plugs so that you can sleep!

Upon…read moreregistering we were asked if we wanted to join their Radisson Rewards program and receive a 10% discount on all food and drinks during our stay and also a 10% discount on our room stay which was already prepaid so we would get the credit when we checked out. when we checked out they informed us that we were not getting the discount on our room because we reserved through bookings. com.They never previously checked our booking but were quick to get us to sign up for their rewards program. So they were not fulfilling their check in commitent and they could care less that we were out almost 400 euro , the approximate discount on the room. very poor customer service for people who just spent over $5,000 at their hotel.

I replied that I wanted to see it anyway. he brought us the menu and we decided for coffee, he smiled condescendingly and said we didn't need the menu for that. I replied that if a waiter says he would bring the menu, he would have to bring it no matter what. He replied "Are you sure you don't want to look for another bar?" So we got up and left. I'm 35, travelled all Europe and never ever had such a rude experience anywhere. To avoid at all costs.
