Very good

Liked: Really interesting building and interesting experience to stay there. Nice to have the balcony space.
Disliked: Room was very small but well thought out

For the right kind of...

Liked: The building is absolutely stunning, to stay in such a location was very special and I'm absolutely glad I booked to stay here. The architect's dream.Staff were friendly on check-in and everything was smooth and easy. Parking is available for our rented car. The room was small but comfortable and the balcony had a lovely view.The real attraction to staying here is that you become 'a resident' of the building, with access to parts of the roof not open to the public, and access at times the public are not permitted. We were able to explore and engage with the building on our own and that was a very special experience.
Disliked: Even in October we found our small room to be quite hot and stuffy, especially at night. The air conditioning fans were located right above the bed which made it unpleasant to leave on constantly throughout the night.This meant we would be woken through the night feeling too hot, turn on the AC for 15 mins to cool the room before switching back off. We stayed for three nights and experienced broken sleep on all three nights. A small price to pay.

Heritage credibility no excuse for...

Liked: The historic architectural nature of the place. We chose the Museum Room, which might explain some of the many compromises in amenity. Le Corb wasn't into luxury...Hotel staff were friendly if a little overworked.Building concierges the reverse: not friendly + doing apparently zilch.
Disliked: I've stayed previously + didn't recall it being such a compromise in comfort terms. Principally the bathroom, toilet + kitchen areas were small to unworkable. Nor was there any attempt to offset these heritage preservation of the design with simple measures like some bottled water, glasses - not plastic cups like a 1950s motel - or bathroom cosmetic amenities etc. No mini bar. 1 tiny basin in bathroom only big enough for 1, no mirrors apart from over that basin. Rude +unhelpful men on the concierge/security desk at building entry didn't help the 2 times we asked for assistance getting taxis.. We knew place was not in heart of Marseille but all more reason staff should be wiling to help. Final straw was the over 30 something bites my husband came away with after our 2 nights there: and they weren't in places mosquitoes could get at !? 10 days later he's still applying the calming ointment...

Very good

Very good

Liked: The issue here is not the quality of the facilities but the chance to sleep in a World Heritage site.

Exceptional

A hotel that’s challenges you...

Architecture fan - this is...

Liked: The hotel is a time capsule of the style of Le Corbusier. Its a muct stay for fans of architecture. If you like luxury - this may not be for you. Its a concrete heaven, the roof is a real treat.
Disliked: The Art gallery was closed when we visitied - make sure you check if you want to see it.
