Hotels near Faculty of Pharmacy, Marseille, 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.

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay at the Alex hotel. Conveniently located near the train and bus station. Our room (702), was large and clean, with newer furniture, carpet, and all the amenities. Staff were very friendly and helpful, and spoke English which was so helpful for us and our limited French. Great experience. The only draw-back was the neighborhood, which was more impoverished. The Alex hotel, courtyard and lounge were such a joy and reprieve for us after our long days touring around M****ille. We intentionally chose the Alex hotel over the Port area hotels, due to the peace and quiet, and it was well worth it.

Value for money was great. The room was very clean and kitchenette was complete. But the refrigerator wasn’t working at all…so we couldn’t keep anything cold. Air-conditioning was very effective and quiet. Location was not great, but good — it was super near Gare Saint-Charles, but around a 10-15min walk to the Old Port. Nevertheless, I would recommend this aparthotel.

Super reception, very clean accommodation, excellent litter, well soundproofed, well located ( near the Chartreux metro), air conditioning, number (5), vase and liquid vase gel shower, filter cafe, pad and box, Mug cup set sheet, jump ballai .... Nothing misses!

My partner and I are staying in this hotel tonight (17Sep) The good. New hotel, feels clean and fresh. Nice airy lobby / reception area. Small pool but clean and inviting. Really friendly staff, I’ve asked for slippers and bucket of ice, delivered to our room within minutes with a smile. Thank you🌸 Underground car park, very convenient, but expensive. Bad: Our room ( no 814) has a very strange layout. The bathroom is “split” in half. Toilet is located separately by the door and the other “part of the bathroom” sink and shower is located on the other side of the room. Separate toilet has NO sink, so every time we use toilet we have to walk to the other side of the room to wash hands - unpractical, illogical and dead annoying. Very limited room service menu, very few dishes, no wine, no champi. The area - really dirty, rubbish on the street, noise from nearby apartment blocks. All in all - okay’ish for 1-2 nights not longer.

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.

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

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.
