Kyriad Marseille Blancarde - Timone

FUITE DANS LA SALLE DE BAIN. PIÈCE INNONDÉE !. Je suis allé dans cet hotel pour un examen le lendemain et qu’elle fut ma surprise d’apercevoir une fuite dans la salle de bain provenant de la chambre d’au dessus.Pensant que cela etait de l’eau salle je n’ai pas risqué de me laver et de recevoir des cascades sur moi de la part de mon voisin d’en haut.

Nice hotel with a short ride from central station and cruise port. Nice pool area and exceptional staff at front desk.

Booked this hotel months earlier and despite the contract indicating payment at hotel the hotel wrote in broken English (imagine what you might get from a fraudster) asking for payment in full. We rang Kyriad central reservations and were told all was in order, no need to pay, settle at hotel. 2 days later booking is cancelled by local manager. Will never trust Kyriad or Hotel.com again!

It was my first time in M****ille and the hotel is located in a dirty neighbour hood. On top of it there was civil manifestations in the city so not recommended to go out! But when in the hotel it is fine.

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.

The first room smelled like smoke so they changed us without hesitation. The carpets need to be replaced and the walls repainted. The secured parking is a bit far and you need to have a phone to call the hotel to open the doors otherwise you are stuck. The walls are thin you hear your neighbors. Breakfast is ok. The staff very friendly.

Having booked a Superior room we were disappointed with Room 023. It was situated behind the laundry rooms and we felt we were in a broom cupboard. The finish in the bathroom was poor (bath broke at end, plug socket not working and hot and cold taps reversed on one sink) and the most annoying issue was the toilet was set too high and at 5’3” my feet were dangling once seated. There was no full length mirror in the bedroom (reception informed me it broke and it had not been replaced). Not enough hangers and no iron. It was confirmed my reception that it was a superior room so assumed our expectations for M****ille were a little too high, although we felt these faults should be standard for any hotel offering. On a positive note the pool and area was spotlessly clean. Five stars to the person maintaining this area.

I spent one week at Hotel Kyriad Blancarde-Timone with my sister. Our room was spacious and clean. The communal areas have a nice decor and furnishings. All the staff were polite and friendly, but particularly Elie; nothing was too much trouble for him. He was respectful and helpful. He gave us lots of very useful information about places to visit, getting around M****illes by metro, tram and taxis & takeaway restaurants (for evenings when we chose to stay in). Elie is very professional and is an asset to Hotel Kyriad. We were also very impressed by the substantial breakfast which is offered to guests at a very reasonable cost. All in all, we had a nice relaxing time at Hotel Kyriad Blancarde-Timone. It was very easy to travel to the centre and south of M****illes by metro or tram from this location.
