The Originals Boutique, Hôtel Cassitel, Cassis Port — Hotel in Marseille

We spent our second time here in this hotel, last week of September 2018. This is a marvellous place to relax, to be surrounded by friendly staff, get all the information you need, and have a delicious breakfast!! If you are looking for a friendly, human, unpretentious environment, I recommend. There is a lot around Cassis which is luxury, elitism (the famous Kafkaesque Castle that looms above the port), pretentiousness. But the Cassitel is nothing like that. It welcomes you with simplicity, friendly arms, a lot of laughter and smiles. The rooms are very very clean, everything is spot on. As for location, it is standing right in the middle of everything (port, town square, terrain de boules, etc ...) whilst at the same time it is slightly tucked away in a corner that allows a feeling of tranquility and peace. And last but not least, I must tell you about the staff. The ladies of the hotel are such a friendly bunch! You can laugh for ever with them! There are the famous two receptionists, Justine and Caroline, who would do anything to help. They are not only super lovely, but also super efficient !! And Brigitte, the Breakfast Lady, is such a darling! The cleaning women are also very assiduous and polite. And they always have a smile to greet you. Voilà! Restez au Cassitel et vous vous trouverez en de bonnes mains, amicales et efficaces. Et votre séjour sera génial ! Guy Buffel du...

This hotel is in a great location right by the harbour in Cassis. It is also very cheap. For a reason.||The hotel décor is incredibly dated and tried. The double room we were given was miniscule. The bed was only accessible from one side as it was pushed up against a wall. The shower cubicle in the bathroom is the smallest I have ever seen. I measured it and it was 67cm square. Barely enough room for an average size man to get into. And the showerhead bracket was broken so you had to hold that yourself. The air condition did work but only just and the outside temperature was 40 degrees that day. ||If you want somewhere cheap then this might do the trick but it is not a very pleasant stay. ||Not that this is any fault of the hotel but there is very little local parking in Cassis. We ended up in a pay and display car park nearly 10 minutes walk from the hotel so factor that into your hotel choice when planning a...

The hotel is in a good position in town and our room was decent with views across the sea and harbour. There is no car parking at the hotel itself and was advised to park at the free car park at the entrance to Cassis and take the park and ride bus which cost us a euro per person return journey in to town and then a 5 min walk to the hotel. Also, there is no lift so if you have loads of luggage beware! There is a car park near the hotel but is usually full so if you can get in there great, free after 7pm. Yes there is a nightclub right beneath the hotel but we arrived out of season and so it was closed so can understand the noise when it would be open so again beware. Restaurants/supermarkets/bars right on the doorstep a decent enough stay...
