Reviews for Best Western Premier Hotel Vieux-Port
Review 1:the 'plastic' carpet! Not kind to the feet. And not realising there were windows from the bedroom to the bathroom (with blinds - but I didn't see them at first)
Review 2:location was great, lovely room, secure car parking, modern hotel, next to the port area with lots of shops, restaurants, cafes, etc.
Review 3:Nothing
Review 4:The service and really nice staff, especially Marc and Julie who were very supportive! Great and complete breakfast. Room basic but all you need! Comfortable beds, clean, good coffee maker, safe in the room, parking available underground and easy access, good bathroom / shower and separate toilet. Beside that the perfect location, close to the harbour and restaurants, bars and shops. Couldn't be better if staying in la Ciotat
Review 5:Fridge didn't work, staff were lazy with the room as neither the mini bar nor the complementary items were restocked. Even from the previous guest!!! The review card had been filled in by the previous guests so I couldn't even use it. And we were charged for all the drinks and snacks from the mini bar which they had consumed as it was never restocked before our stay!!!! This is my 3rd stay at the best western which I previously praised as a hotel and I can honestly say I don't think I'll be back for another stay.
Review 6:The wifi did not work in the room that we had the signal was only accessible from the lobby. I did report this to the front desk so that they would be able to make further investments in their wi-fi system as it is misleading to state there is wi-fi when it doesn't work through-out the hotel effectively. Also the in room safes did not work.
Review 7:Location was excellent, the staff helpful. Room size was large however it didn't have any charm to it.
Review 8:Breakfast was not good value for money, very limited choice available. Meant to be serving until 10.30am, but when we arrived at 10.10am there was no hot food choice and requests were refused
Review 9:Excellent location and comfortable room
Review 10:The receptionist on our arrival and in later transactions was unfriendly and unhelpful. She could have put us off the hotel and the town. Very disappointing as a first impression.
Review 11:The location and comfort of the room.
Review 12:Wifi is very poor, even in the lobby, not possbile to link to google map.
Review 13:location is very good, you can walk to everywhere within the city. Bed is comfortable
Review 14:We expected some noise as the hotel overlooks a working Harbour. Our stay was 3 nights 1st and 3rd were very good.. The 2nd night was completely spoiled by a noisy group sitting outside the hotel until 0330 in the morning !.
Review 15:Excellent comfortable hotel in a nice position overlooking the Harbour. Friendly staff and a good breakfast.
Review 16:Wifi was very bad. Complimentary bottled water was only provided on day of arrival despite high room rate. Never experienced this at a "premium hotel" before. If I had booked 3 days individually I would have got 3 bottles of water instead of one!
Review 17:Location
Review 18:Air con not very effcient was mentioned to staff who did check it very quickly, but not much better.
Review 19:Ideal situation for town, better restaurants away from harbour.Easy to find, secure parking. Good views of harbour.
Review 20:sporadic rowdy street noise until 4am, people and fast revving cars. Soundproofing good but noise on 1st floor still penetrated. It was a Thursday night.
Review 21:staff very helpful, layout of room, comfort, kettle in room, convenience to port, parking
Review 22:La ciotat is an industrial ship building town and as such there are a number of very large cranes- depending on your perspective this could imoact on your appreciation of the view and surroundings.
Review 23:Location- close to restaurants and bars Pool Whirlpool gym and sauna area The night market Green island
Review 24:Strange having a large window instead of a mirror between the bathroom and twin-bedded room meant anyone in the room can see you getting in and out of the shower! Didn't like that as was sharing with my dad!
Review 25:The location and view in particular. The room was clean with plenty of space. Staff were helpful and friendly. Liked the infinity pool, sauna and views from the roof.
Review 26:We had a Junior suite , overlooking the harbour and a twin room that they put an extra bed in for the children. the location is superb, the view over the harbour is stunning. the roof top pool was a real treat. A little more expensive than the other hotels in la Ciotat, but worth every euro.. We would definitely go there again.
Review 27:terrible check-out! the guy at the reception could not hold a conversation, had to repeat several times what I was going to pay cash and not able to achieve unlock the money in the account!
Review 28:everythng was very good except for problems with payment
Review 29:Staff does not speak english, there is no toilet in the lobby, so if you already made the check out no toilet for you. The view from the room is terrible- work site.
Review 30:Rooms were very nice and clean, big bathroom and toilet.
Review 31:can be abit noisy in the early morning esp on market day. If parking would have been included in the price, it would have been a very good incentive for visitors
Review 32:Nice spacious room, clean and tidy, nice staff, nice location with nice view of the marina. good underground parking at location
Review 33:The air conditioning (which is needed) was poor and noisy and the bed was uncomfortable. This aside, everything was perfect.
Review 34:Perfect location, lovely pool area with jacuzzi and stunning views. Great room with again stunning views. Very friendly and helpful staff.
Review 35:h beers, mini bar not re filled two days in a row. Power cut for most of the day so no electricity, no wifi no lights no air Connor jacuzzi no facilities whatsoever so had to go outside for the day, no morning coffee no tv etc etc. I know it was an unusual situation but only a slight apology on departure and nothing offered even a free breakfast or slight discount.
Review 36:Cheap mini bar
Review 37:We were told that breakfast was from 6:30 to 10, and it made it sound like it was included. At check-out we were charged for it and had no recourse. Also, the phone to the parking garage did not work, so my friend had to go around to have the door opened.
Review 38:Lauren in reception was soooo helpful. Great room with a lovely view. Comfortable bed and large room and balcony overlooking the harbor.
Review 39:I don't like the manager, I make booking by Booking.com for 5 days. Booked 2 days more by hotel directly before arival. Mean totally 7 days. Told reception the 5e day that I want to check out 1 day earlier. Still have to pay 7 day's instead of 6 days. Booking.com can or will do nothing for me. If you book by Booking.com you have to check out and pay by reception.
Review 40:location
Review 41:It's their company policy not to switch the air conditioning on until mid May. This resulted in our room being baking hot. We opened our windows but got savaged by mosquitoes. A very unpleasant stay.
Review 42:Good location, nice and clean, very nice staff.
Review 43:Air con is usual Best Western standard. Basically non existent Had to have window open, so noisy. To sleep then had to close and suffer heat, even though air con on auto and coldest temp
Review 44:Excellent position Large bedroom Good private balcony
Review 45:Really enjoyed it here, good food, staff were very professional, friendly and helpful. If I am ever in La Ciotat again I will definitely stay here again. Nice view from roof top pool and also from the balcony. Some weights in the gym would be only improvement I could think of. Loved my stay!!
Review 46:- room allocation mistake with very dissapointing downgrade without compensation or commercial gesture - wifi not working with Mac - out of bathcloth for sauna & hamam - sauna not working - backside room wake up at 5AM due to truck delivery and offload - service friendly yet little below standard for such kind of hotel, not doing their best to fix and compensate for problems, making us feel we were less important that larger groups of visitors.
Review 47:confort and cleanliness of the room
Review 48:If I had to say something that would be the street a bit noisy at night (we were at the front, second floor). Maybe a problem in summer (full season)?
Review 49:We enjoyed the situation (by the harbour), the staff, comfort, cleanness and correct price.
Review 50:Wifi was patchy in the rooms at the back of the hotel as have stayed in sea view rooms and wifi was fine. The breakfast is nothing to write home about but you are unable just to purchase a coffee and crossaint if you wanted.
Review 51:Staff really friendly and helpful
Review 52:I ended up paying for 3 nights and staying for 1 as there was confusionwith the reservation. A shame as I will Not stay there again due to thefact the manager couldn't offer us any assistance on the matter.
Review 53:Location: there is a road between the hotel and port. Windows are not sound proof. I could not sleep because of noise. Breakfast: good variety of bad quality and not fresh products. Spa area is tiny with no changing area, no towels, not cozy at all. "Gym" has 3 machines, none of them is for running.
Review 54:Stuff: were trying to help.
Review 55:Wi-Fi didn't work for two of the four days. Breakfast, at 13 €, was grossly overpriced.
Review 56:Staff very helpful, good location close to port and central to bars, restaurants. Clean and pleasant room and amenities available on site.
Review 57:Internet connection was a DISASTER. The hotel restaurant/bar was right next to the hotel but it was impossible to get internet connection from there. ?The hotel really needs to get this dealt with. Parking was very tight even in a medium sized family car. Not sure how you could park a 4*4 car in the parking area.
Review 58:Good location right on the Vieux Port. Close to many restaurants and cafes in the Vieux Port area.
Review 59:every morning at 6 am the very noisy city brooming machine comes by and literally assures that everyone living along the harbour is awakened and totally annoyed.
Review 60:The room was modern and comfortable. the location fronting the harbour is interesting and active. the Sunday market all along the harbour front is the biggest we have seen with a vast variety of goods and food.
Review 61:Poor air conditioning- room too hot at night Wifi hardly ever worked Noise from mechanical room Parking too expensive
Review 62:Lovely modern room, Very clean Very friendly helpful staff

Review 64:spacious room and bathroom, comfortable and large beds, excellent breakfast at reasonable cost, parking facilities close by, super harbour view

Review 71:Wi fi was not reliable.
Review 72:Clean, modern hotel right on the waterfront. Many excellent restaurants close by. Based on my criteria of location, decor and room size I would recommend thai hotel. Yes I would stay again.
Review 73:Car Park charge even for a motorcycle, but parking is pretty tight in town. Severe receptionist upon check in. Room stank of smoke. Avoid third floor rooms on side return as they sit under the aircon plant and very noisy. Horrid general purpose liquid detergent for all washing tasks.

Review 116:Everything beyond expectations!
Review 117:Not a big issue but... to cover the bathroom with a carpet is not a good idea.
Review 118:New, luminous and clean hotel rooms (seaside view) with an elegant decoration. The Hotel makes feel good to make a good start to explore lovely Ciotat city.
Review 119:13 euros for parking slot is something not very friendly. No shampoo/gel in separate bottles but in dispenser and poor quality.
Review 120:Location in center. Spacy rooms, teapot. Modern equipment.
Review 121:WIFI very poor. At night the room was extremely hot and a bit noisy with local revellers as we had to leave the window open. A single sheet as well as a duvet would have been a good solution as it was just too cool to sleep with nothing at all but way too hot for a duvet.
Review 122:Room very clean ,fresh and comfortable. It seemed brand new. the staff were very polite and helpful. Also the location of the hotel is superb. Great value just for the location.
Review 123:Th staff are wonderful and very helpful. The rooms have everything in them that you need when away on business. This hotel offers very clean, comfortable, quiet rooms and is good value for money. It is great location being right down on the waterfront.
Review 124:The pillows were not very comfortable.
Review 125:The staff were very helpful at all times. The rooms were very well presented with everything that a person needs when on business, i.e. wardrobes, shelving, desk to use laptop, kettle with tea and coffee - this is very important. The rooms were also very quiet. This hotel had thought of everything.
Review 126:1. Preauthorisation of the card attempt a week before the arrival - right after booking on-line 2. Failure of credit card payment upon night check-in (was forced to pay cash by a male receptionist) - my bank confirmed the next morning that there was NO ATTEMPTS to charge my card through the night whatsoever. Obvious reception cheeting procedure to obtain cash payment by all means. Next morning my card payment was OK. Unprecedented situation. 3. Wi-fi did not work at all on Friday 21st of February 4. Plug in the bathroom sink was stuck at night, water standing full in the sink till the morning 5. Crazy driver supplied to the Airport by reception after check-out (small arabic look man in black Mercedes Vito), price was promised 80-100 Euro at reception, the driver asked for 130 and did not give any change from 140 at all!!! Driving manner is dangerous to the worst extent. Please say bye-bye to this driver forever!!!
Review 127:1. Location 2. Interior style
Review 128:Wifi signal strength was poor. The wifi worked but it could have been better. As I was on a business trip this was more important than it may have been if I was holidaying.
Review 129:Breakfast was good with something for everyone. Good location, secure parking, gym, pool and in room facilities were all very good. I will be staying there again and I am looking forward to it.
Review 130:Parking was expensive. It should be minimal charge of 5€ or free. Internet was very slow only had one bar in my room. The signal is to be be stronger. More english TV or pay on demand films in English
Review 131:Room very quiet and clean. Very local to bars and restaurants etc
