Residence Calypso

Très bon séjour Àvec visite des calanques à pied puis en kayak... Visite de cassis et de la ciotat en plus de Marseille !

kein Frühstücksangebot; Appartment musste selbst gereinigt werden; Müll musste selbst entsorgt werden

Za ponad 300 euro za dobę oczekiwałbym, że przynajmniej nie będę musiał sam sprzątać pokoju ...

super sejour,quartier calme et sécurisé .

I would like to reiterate some of the comments made by other reviewers and add my own. Firstly, it is rather far away from the city and beach so you will either need a car or have to rely on a bus service (we personally didn't mind that and enjoyed the area). Secondly, the main bed we had was very, very firm and many people may take issue with getting a good nights sleep on it, especially in combination with the pillows supplied which were fat, synthetic? and offer very little support. Also note that the bed is very short so I found my feet stuck out over the edge (And I am only 5'10" - 180cm tall). Thirdly, the sofa bed we had was so worn out that our eldest child didn't want to sleep in it as it sagged and didn't support his body and back properly, and given the amounts of exposed metal and gaps, I wouldn't advise a small child to sleep on it either as it could be potentially dangerous. I wish I could have written a more positive review as the lady who checked us in was very helpful and very nice, and the area offered great potential for a nice family location with great amenities for food shopping etc. It could have been a nice little apartment to stay in, but the worn out sofa bed and the main bed let it down to the point that we wouldn't consider returning unless we knew these issues had been addressed/replaced.

We stayed at this hotel for 4 nights as it was close to Mazargues where we were involved in family research. If you wanted to use this hotel to visit the tourist sites of Marseille, you will find it less convenient, although public transport is so good that it really is no problem to commute into town (approx 25 mins to downtown, bus 23 or 45 to Rond Point du Prado, then metro. The nearest local beaches are a 25 minute walk or short bus ride, the bus stops and big supermarket are close by. Staff were friendly and helpful, the apartment excellent with a nice sunny patio and very quiet. The only negatives were the hard bed and the advertised Restaurant which was permanently closed! First time entry to the Residence is via a key panel if the door is locked- press "Appeler" to contact reception, once you have a key, everything is easier. Would not recommend using a car in the city unless you like permanent gridlock. Overall this was an excellent hotel/apartment which we would be happy to use again.
