Kyriad Hotels in Marseille

Just exactly what I am looking for a business trip . Parking, restaurant (excellent by the way), good location. And the service was good. I will definitively come back if I am traveling to M****ille. The breakfast (croissants and coffee especially) could be improved.

M****ille is a fantastic destination for a short city-trip as it provides sea, mega-city and food experiences at its‘s best. This underestimated city actually competes in the same league as much more prominent sea metropolises like Barcelona or Venice. So we took some time in preparation where to stay best as the distances are quite far due to the size of M****ille. In this aspect Kyriad Blancarde might not be the best option but we really enjoyed walking more than 20k steps everyday. Distances by foot are: Palais Longchamps – 30 minutes Old Harbour/ Mucem – 45 minutes Vallon des Auffes – 60 minutes Panier – 60 minutes Cours Julien – 30 minutes We also rented E bikes to cycle to the Calanques which took approx 90 minutes from Kyriad Blancarde. This being said, the hotel cost/ value can be considered as really fair. We only paid something like 100 Eurs per night. So you have to consider yourself if the distances are acceptable for you or not. Perfect location to explore the city based on our experience would be some hotel at the beginning of the Corniche behind the old port. However the Kyriad Blancard is a hidden gem as it provides a nice courtyard with lovely swimming pool, a nice rooftop terrace and even a gymn, which we would not expect from a hotel for this price/ category. The furniture and style looked really cool and we enjoyed a dip in the pool after our long city walks. The room was more or less functional besides the bath which was a bit disappointing not style but practical wise. The shower itself seemed a bit too big in comparison to the rest of the bathroom. My wife and I are quite tall and it really takes some acrobatic moves to finally sit down on the toilet as it is squeezed in behind the oversized shower. Once you sit there you are confronted with a boling heater where you can easily hit your head once finished your business. As usual in most European hotels the bathroom is far too dark if your lady wants to prepare herself make-up wise. The last critic, is the street noise if you open the window, which makes it basically impossible to sleep with fresh air. So enough criticism and as outlined above, Kyriad Blancarde is a good choice for a M****ille city-trip if you are willing to accept the described constraints (distances, bathroom and street noise). However M****ille is a lovely city and we really enjoyed staying in Kyriad Blancarde as our basis.
