Pierre & Vacances Prado Plage Residence Marseille

( 3 stars , Marseille , France )

Excellent value Great place to stay, right beside beach and local metro station. Local grocery shopping for suplies and dozens of restaurants on the sea front

The accomodation was very good for a short stay. The room we had would have been too small for a longer stay.

After updating the map software in my GPS, my unit (the top of the line TomTom) couldn't find the place and it took us to a pretty rough part of Marseille. Of course, never rely totally on the GPS! A work-around for locating this property with GPS is to use Park Borely as a landmark. Head there and the hotel is across the street. Don't look for "Adagio," rather, Pierre and Vacances. It's a great place and finding it isn't that hard, but this advice could help. Overall, the hotel is fine but we weren't all that impressed with Marseille. I'd probably skip it altogether and spend more time in Cannes, Eze, Monaco or other places in the south of France. Marseille is a big city with all the big city problems.

This is a very good apartment/hotel in a salubrious part of Marseille close to many restaurants. Highly recommended.

+ Good value for money. The pool was ok and the double rooms were good. Nice balcony. - I did not like the lounge and I wish they changed the carpet because it was filthy.

As we were staying in a doubleroom it would be suitable with two chairs on the balcony, beside from that little comment everything was just fine and it´s really a place that I would recommend and most likely will consider to come back to.

it's very nice that it's so closed to the sea and there is a big supermarket nearby.

+ The location and the staff. - It was very noisy at night until about 2am. Other guests were permitted to congregate outside the reception area throughout the night making a lot of noise by shouting and revving car and motorbike engines.

+ Location - and the hallway was dirty , with stain on the wall, giving poor aspect .
