The Originals Boutique, Hôtel Cassitel, Cassis

Expected more for the price

Hôtel extrêmement bien situé, en plein centre ville, à 30 secondes du port. Literie confortable, chambre propre et vue géniale ! Personnel gentil et bienveillant & petit déjeuner copieux et délicieux 😋 Petit bémol pour le bar situé juste sous la fenêtre... Mais après une longue journée et grâce au lit hyper confort, on finit même par l'oublier. Je recommande totalement !

Hotel Cassitel was charming and right in the heart of town. We walked everywhere and loved returning to our hotel. It was above a restaurant but was not too noisy (although the smoke did rise up occasionally). The staff were kind and they held our bags between checkout times. I’d highly recommend it to anyone traveling to the area who is ok with carrying your own bags up the stairs.

The hotel was basic. The sheets were clean and the bed and pillows were comfortable. The bathroom tile had mold and the thin towels had rust stains on them. The A/C unit was extremely loud, we had to turn it off in order to sleep. The hotel is very outdated. The location is excellent, right in the middle of town.

We had a 2 night stay in early May. The room we were given was at the back of the hotel and was very noisy due to a wine bar situated below the window. On one night they didn’t finish until after 1am. It was necessary to have the window open as the air conditioning was not working. The room decor was strange-partially decorated…new paint on the headboard wall but the doors were very scuffed and needed repainting and the flooring was some form of Lino. The bathroom had also not been touched and was definitely in need of attention. The shower cubical was vey small! However the room was clean and the reception & breakfast area was very nice (good continental breakfast). The location of the hotel improves the rating from 2 to 3 stars!

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.
