Villa Arena Hotel

We had to make an emergency booking as we arrived in France a day early due to our original flight being cancelled (Air traffic control strike!) we needed 4 rooms. Hotel in an excellent location,||We were met by the owner who spoke good English, and couldn't have been more helpful. The receptionist was also very friendly. The rooms were very comfortable, AC worked well, shower was good. Enjoyed a quite substantial breakfast. Very short walk to the harbour.||When we struggled to get a taxi to our villa in Sausset the next day the very kind receptionist offered to do two runs to get everyone there.||Once home we needed individual receipts for our rooms so we could try and claim on our travel insurance, my e mail request was answered extremely quickly.||Great start to what had been a stressful time.||Would highly recommend.

The room was fine, the building is cute, nice location for the very small area. The biggest issue...we were completely abandoned. We met an employee(very nice)when we checked in. We returned after dinner and the hotel was completely locked up with not one light on inside. We finally figured out how to get inside after calling. We never saw a single person. No front desk person etc. We’d asked for a taxi to the airport for the next morning. Never showed. I’ve emailed the hotel with the list of issues, over a week ago. Haven’t heard a word. I’d find another place to stay.

A nice little place where everyone welcomes you and smiles ! Except their owner... who just looks at you. I must say someone needs to let him know a hello and a smile will go a long way to making people enjoy their stay a bit more and possibly want to come back. Other than that staff is just wonderful and totally makes up for this “bear character” arriving with his big car as Prince Charles taking over in front of the hotel :-)|Good breakfast which is to be upgraded and a good room. We had the superior quality ! Simple, but very clean and just good things to say about it. One comment, add a local influenced artwork on wall as it could bring a bit of life in the room. |We will come back and enjoy again !

Hotel staff very friendly, lovely room, clean, nicely decorated with air-con. Well needed in July here! Excellent location : just a walk to a few beaches and the port. Good breakfast. Lovely moment by the sea.

Nice, historical building.||Small, but cozy room with AC.||Free WiFi worked well, but you need to get a special password at the reception.||||Very helpful staff and tasty breakfast.||Many small cafes and restaurants within a 10-minute walk.||||A large beach is approximately 20 minutes away. It is recommended to ask how to get there. The smaller beach is within a 5-minute walk.||||It is easy to get to Marseilles by train if you travel without a car.

We loved the old building, although the renovation could have been fancier. But service, location and good price make everything just fine. Wifi works great, breakfast tastes great, parking is to small but they will help you to find a spot nearby. Just go and find out!

Later a lady came ,no sorry ot welcome just you key is in your room and teception is closed. ||||It not feel like a hotel.. its really bad ||Also all sockets are broken ||And only 1 power socket in the the room. ||Very cheaply refurnished and small rooms
