Adagio APARTHOTEL access Hotels in Marseille

This aparthotel is in a well communicated area and could have potential, however it is in need of a serious update especially for an over 300Euro/night tab -more expensive than the best 5Star hotel in the city. The elevator was out of order for the first 2 days (we stayed 3 nights) and we were put on the top floor (6th). Most of the staff did not speak English (or did not want to). The breakfast is good. The room was supposed to be for 4 people, however I don't see how would that be possible as to open the sofa bed we would need to move the dinning table closer to the kitchen, in which case you don't have space to either open suitcases or use the kitchen for that matter. Luckily we were only 2 people and did not need to use the sofa bed as a bed, but used to place our suitcases instead. We were assigned a 4 person room (and charged accordingly) -although we were only 2 people. The toilet bowl is in a small space (closet size) is extremely small and it only had one half of a toilet paper roll. No extra toilet paper rolls anywhere in the room. The kitchen seemed to be basically equipped, although we never used it, so I can't say if it was in proper working condition. The walls were very run down and with stains. Bedroom closet doors, sofa bed and doors were very cheap quality and the light fixtures were tattered and provided insufficient lighting. The curtains were dirty and stained. The safe box did not give us much confidence as it could be lifted easily with its contents. All and all, if we had been charged around 60Euro/night or less, it would have been acceptable, but for 300Euro/night it is way overrated and we felt abused, and to top things of, we were charged 11Euro for an extra breakfast (1 coffee). They seem to set their prices per night randomly in a range from 49Euro to 347Euro depending on events going on and general hotel availability in the city. If you pay the lower price it is an ok place, but definitely not worth if you get charged more than 60Euro/night.

The room size was as expected. The apartment hotel is mainly a kitchen with complete kitchen utensils, but it is inconvenient without a kettle. There are many supermarkets around, which is convenient for shopping. The hotel is right next to the train station, not far from the scenic spots, and convenient to the surrounding cities, but the train station next to the street is quite noisy (the sound of the station announcement). Overall cost-effective.
