“great space for price”

Other reviews of this hotel were strikingly bad but I found that the value was great since Aix is an expensive city and the rooms are quite large. It is not a luxury hotel, but it has all the conveniences necessary, a bus stop to the downtown area about 5 minutes walking distance, and the staff was extraordinarily nice and helpful. Finding the hotel is a bit tricky - Bus Stop Crosy on Line 6, then walk over the overpass and turn right at the Kyriad.

“Not as expected”

The hotel was really dingy. The beds were incredibly hard, the room was not comfortable at all. It was a pretty far walk to the center of town, and the buses don't run correctly on the weekend. I would stay closer in town, it's not worth it. Check in after hours was incredibly confusing since you had to call a strange number, pray someone spoke english, and try to get your key out of a lock box.

“Basic accomodation”

We went to this hotel because the rate was very cheap. However, you should not expect anything else but basic accomodation. Even then, I think there are some basic elements that should have been there. When we got to our room, we noticed the carpet in the hallway was dirty. Our comforters were also stained. And they don't give you enough toilet paper to last for 2 nights (!) and there are no tissues. Also note that there is no housekeeping that goes through the rooms every night. And they expect you to remove all the sheets and put them in a pile for them to pick up when you leave. As I said, we went there for the price, because it's really nothing better than "a place to crash".

“Good value, tough challenge to check in”

The place is clean and quiet, close to freeway and within walking distance to both old town Aix and to a new shopping mega-center. The challenge is to find it! GPS shows it incorrectly (it is actually between A53 and an unnamed lane, behind Kyriad). The only little sign pointing to it is on Route de Galice eastbound. Also reception isn't manned after 8 pm. The late-arrival phone # has a French-only voice mail menu (press 4 or 5). There were lost and confused late-night arrivals almost nightly. Lastly, value is pretty good but extra charges (underground parking, internet access, laundry) may be steep. And please be careful with the little parking spot out in front, most small cars won't negotiate its curb without body damage, unless you can rig a makeshift ramp of rocks or wood.
