Toyoko Inn Marseille Saint Charles

10/10 Excellent

"For the price nice sized and clean rooms, good complimentary breakfast"

Hôtel Saint Christophe Aix en Provence Centre Ville by Germain Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Although we only stayed one day, we enjoyed our time there. Our room was very clean and comfortable and the desk staff was very friendly, courteous and helpful. Not being familiar with Aix-en-Provence, she gave us a map and marked some good places to visit in a day, along with making some restaurant suggestions. The hotel’s location was also great for us as it’s right next to the Old Town and we could easily walk to everywhere we wanted to visit. Finally, the buffet breakfast was delicious, with a large variety of hot and cold options, a great way to start the day. We would definitely consider staying here again if we visited Aix-en-Provence in the future."

Hôtel Carré Vieux Port

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is located in the middle of all things happening in the city, so it’s very convenient to explore the area from there and enjoy the bars and restaurants in the area. Although it doesn’t have on site parking there is a paid and secure underground parking nearby for 25-30 euros per day. It’s a very basic hotel without any special amenities, but it’s location is what you are paying for."
