I stayed here in 2003 before its reincarnation. Some of the old Provencal over Roman ruins feel have been preserved, which I appreciate. The decor is now just a bit jumbled but gives a contemporary, edgy feel to the place.
All of staff were very helpful and knowledgeable. We were a given a tour of the hotel upon arrival. Somebody always picked up the phone when we called reception from the room. They did come to the room quickly as promised when we asked for help a couple of times. They gave us excellent recommendations for coffee and dinner; made reservations for us. They even arranged for a taxi driver who was willing to help us drag our luggage to the Marseille-bound platform. (No elevator, no escalator.)
Love the personalized welcome letter. The nougats and mini muffins that came with it were delish!
We did not have breakfast in the hotel. We ordered drinks from the bar one time then hung out at the couches by the fireplace. Excellently prepared drinks. Staff very accommodating to our preferences as one of us did not drink alcohol.
The hotel is 10 to 15-minute walk to the train/bus station. It's a block from Fondation Van Gogh, the river promenade, Museu Reattu. Five minute walk to Place de la Republique and St Trophime.
The only reason why I gave a 4, and I'd say it's actually 4.5, is that the light switches (which were buttons) did not always respond. Quite frustrating especially when turning in for the night. Less high tech switches may work better.
I have to warn you that taxis may not easily find it. It's next to the Therme Constantine.
We stayed for the last days of 2023. Hotel was surprisingly very busy.
