The Originals Boutique, Hôtel Cassitel, Cassis

Expected more for the price

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 for 2 nights.

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 trip to Cassis.

really nice stay at this hotel, amazing view and location. The only downside was that it got very hot in the room as the air conditioning was quite weak.

Wonderful hotel. This was our fifth visit and we would highly recommend it.

Our second visit, this time with friends who were equally enchanted by this attractive hotel overlooking the port. This time we were in the newly renovated section which was excellent, although the shower area had room for a large walk-in shower which had not been done - just a simple small cubicle. The flooring in the bathroom had not been finished off. Otherwise, very good, especially the provision of tea making facilities which is rare in France. There is no lift, and you are warned about noise from the disco below, but due to the airconditioning and double glazing, we were not disturbed by this.

First I like to say location is great and that’s it. The rooms are small shower is absolutely horrendous The shower head just flips back-and-forth left and right up and down so you have to put it on the bottom of the shower stall and put your foot on it so you can control it ,the hotel smells like mildew,there is no refrigerator in the room and the receptionist at the front desk is no help whatsoever also there is no elevator so You have to pack your bags at flights of stairs.I highly do not recommend this hotel
