Plan-d'Aups-Sainte-Baume accommodation from NZ$124

BIEN

Amazing location directly above Colbert Metro Station, giving you effortless access to the whole city. You can get anywhere by foot, tram, bus, or metro, and the train station is a ten‑minute walk or one stop away. The room is generously sized for Europe, especially at this price. The king bed was very comfortable, and the pillows were excellent. We chose a balcony room—good size, but the view isn’t charming, mostly neighbouring balconies with laundry. Being in the city centre means it won’t be quiet before about 3 a.m. if you need the windows open. Unfortunately, the ventilation didn’t work in our room, and in March it was still warm. We had to rely on open windows, which meant mosquito bites. The furniture looks nice at first glance but is low‑quality up close, and the floor could use a deep clean. On the positive side, the TV and channel selection were great, and the staff were exceptional—friendly, reassuring, and always present. An unhoused man sleeps outside, but he is harmless, and hotel security is excellent with tap access after 9 p.m. and attentive evening staff. The shower looks modern, though the water pressure may not satisfy everyone. The cooktop was confusing but functional; an instruction sheet would help. The dishwasher was convenient, and the fridge worked well. (Note: the excellent Carrefour nearby is closed Sundays.) For the price and location, this hotel is a terrific deal. I would return and recommend it.
