It was fine. The parking is a bit odd. The pool being in a courtyard reduces sun dramatically, but was welcome nonetheless. The room lacke for a few hooks.

We really enjoyed our 4 nights stay. The small pool was a big bonus but it’s all about the view across the marina, location & the excellent staff.

Great location for old harbour
We booked the junior suite and it was very comfortable and roomy. Was not expecting to see individual plastic toiletries which were fairly basic- no shower cap. Was expecting glasses for drinking instead of paper cups. Glasses were provided upon request. Plugs in sinks not working and reported. Shame there was no tea/ coffee provided in room as with other French hotels. Staff were excellent and really helpful in all areas of our stay. Perfect location for the old harbour.

Do not recommend
The poirest hotel of our stay. It is an old hotel in need of a good renovation. The best part was our view of the Vieux Port, but it also came with the noise of people partying until the wee hours. The breakfast reminds me of school cafeteria where you ask the attendant what you want and endure a long line. Don't understand why they won't let us help ourselves at a buffet like all other hotels. Saving?!? And again the breakfast room needs a renovation. I would note recommend the Yatchman to friends.

Location is excellent. Relaxed athmosherw and good breakfast. The only downside for me was a disturbed sleep every night due to room position at the rear block of the hotel onto a busy laneway and over a restaurant and bar which stayed open very late.

God location, but dated and needs a face-lift.
Nice enough hotel in a good position on the waterfront. Generally clean, but could do with a bit of money spent on it. Walls are pebble-dashed white. Mixer tap in round 530 is in wrong position meaning that's you can whack yourself trying to stand up. Support rail to get out of bath would only be useful to Spider-Man. Room was at back of hotel, but still heard noise from the street with several big bars just up the road. Am sure idiots ran through the hotel shouting at closing time. Breakfast was apple but over priced. Car parking is available in a secure car park just a couple of minutes away. Overall, a good one night stay, but would probably look elsewhere next time even if it costs a little more.
