Bonsai Hotel Marseille Nord

( 1 star , Marseille , France )

This place is rubbish - I would not reccommend it to anyone. The only thing in its favour is that it is cheap. But you get what you pay for - very little. They lost our booking. So not a good start. The place is in the middle of nowhere. If you have no car you are looking at an expensive taxi from the city, or a dangerous walk from the hotel to the bus stop. The bathrooms are questionable wetrooms (that can flood your whole room). All in all, I reccommend avoiding the place.

This hotel is 10km outside of Marseille in the middle of nowhere, and cost €45 to get there by taxi from the train station.. We booked this for 3 nights during the rugby world cup. Check in – Firstly they lost the reservation., then charged us more than we had it reserved for. The room – the first thing that hits you as you enter a room is the overwhelming smell of bleach! The bedroom is a series of wet rooms no carpets just rubber flooring, there is a separate toilet with built in shower (for the multi taskers) and another room for the sink. Neither are big enough to use comfortably. Tip, do not leave anything in the room when showering!! We actually left this hotel after the first night and went into Marseille instead.
