Hotels near Cave de la Pointe Rouge, Marseille

The merit of this hotel is obviously its location near the old port. It is indeed ideal. As a low budge hotel, one can't expect luxury, but this hotel is lacking essentials - they claim that they exchange towels less frequently for ”saving nature” (believe it if you like), but there is a single hanger where one could hang a towel to dry. For some reason - economy, prevention of blockage? - the toilet paper is not a roll like any other place I've ever visited but meted as single sheets. It doesn't work, however, because the flushing of the toilet is so poor that the result can be revolting at times. It took an actual blockage to convince the plumber there is indeed a problem. His unhappiness of having no choice but to attend to this task was loud and clear. The guest's presence made no difference to him. Last but not least, the walls do not provide sound isolation. If the next-door neighbors talk loudly, one hears them, whether one wants to or not.

Perfect stay Heat home Clean room is functional Good and varied breakfast We will return 👍👍👍

Price is quite reasonable with quality breakfast and facilities. Location is very good. Near to city centre. Parking fee is not bad. But the hotel is very busy. No bath and hand wash gel for both of my two rooms, even I went to the reception to request, they marked the problem but finally ignored which made me a bit disappointed.

Although our stay was fine, we had a very bad experience. My brother-in-law forgot his tablet in his room. He had left it on the floor near the wall and in the morning upon drawing the curtains open the tablet was hidden behind so he didn't see it. Arriving in our next hotel destination (Villeneuve-Loubet) he realized the tablet was left in Toyoko-Inn. He immediately called the hotel and the security guy told him no tablet was found. He went to personally check the room that happened to be empty as no guest was in that room that night. He then told my brother-in-law he didn't find anything. We called the hotel again the following day and we got the same answer. We sent an e-mail to the hotel manager only to get the same answer. Since there was no other guest in that room it seems that only people from the hotel entered it. We can not believe a tablet can vanish without a human intervention so we suspect that somebody from the hotel found it but didn't deliver it to the reception. This matter ruined the remaining days of our vacation and left a bitter taste in our mouths. I sent a complaint to the Tourism Office in M****illes but they couldn't answer me as they are on public holidays! So, if you stay in that hotel double and triple check your room before you leave because if something valuable is forgotten it's more than certain it won't be recovered or compensated.

Spent 2 nights here recently. We arrived by train and decided to walk. It took us about 15-20 minutes from St Charles station using Google maps. There is a tram stop right outside the hotel but we didn't manage to figure out if the line went near the station. Big, open reception area. We didn't try the breakfast but instead walked round to cafe Pomme du Pain for a crossaint and coffee (it's in front of the Leš Terrasses du Port shopping mall which is about 7 mins walk but if Leš Docks is open you can cut through to make it quicker). There were also a few cafes and small eateries inside the Leš Docks shopping area but very quiet in the evening when we went so another night we walked to the Old Port, about 15-20 minutes. There's a couple of bars on the way too. Decent size room for our stay and we had room for our 2 large suitcases without feeling crammed. It was my birthday when we arrived and staff had put some balloons and deco in our room along with some lavender and soap which was a lovely touch. It would have been good to have had tea/coffee making facilities in the room. We were able to leave our luggage after check out for a couple of hours which was handy.

Excellent reception, friendly staff, excellent bed comfort , the cleaning of the bathroom can be better done. The nearness of public transport and shopping centres makes a hotel to be recommended without hesitation.

What makes this place special are the people. Yes, it is modern, tastefully designed and immaculate with great access to public transport and a couple of local treasures, the front desk with Tata, Tania and Sujata, complete with broad smiles and great local knowledge are a compliment to manager Emmanuel and Mr Fixit, Julian.

Fairly well-equipped studios, family swimming pool, correct set... but it depends on the rooms... so beware! Especially since we take a deposit of 300 euros (even if you only stay one night) WITHOUT an incoming or outgoing inventory. Declare therefore upon your arrival any imperfection at the reception so that you can recover your deposit. We also don't like the group of cleaning staff who, in the morning, carry on a conversation, chatter in the corridors and clutter them. The cleaning trolleys we accept of course, but when you see the cleanliness of certain rooms, you understand that it was more interesting to chat than to pass the broom.

Bel emplacement, paisible, malheureusement, il n'y avait pas d'eau chaude durant le temps de notre séjour, malgré le passage d'un technicien. Ce dernier n'a apparemment pas pu réparer la panne. J'espère que ce genre d'inconvénient ne se répétera pas pour les clients à venir. Sonia Jebsen
