Brasserie La Valampe, France sur Chateauneuf-Les-Martigues

13/07/2026: This hotel's approach is completely different from that of the large chains, which are often more impersonal. Here, the staff are naturally kind, welcoming, and helpful. As is often the case, you receive what you give. Be kind and respectful to the team, and they will repay you a hundredfold. A warm, welcoming, and authentic place.

11/05/2026: The hotel's location right next to the gym was very convenient for a sporting competition, which was a real plus. The welcome was also very warm: the managers were very kind and pleasant. However, several things marred the stay. The room had a very strong smell of stale tobacco, which didn't disappear even after airing it out. The duvet was burnt with several cigarette burns, and the cleaning seemed incomplete, especially under the beds where there was a lot of dust. Finally, the €12 breakfast was very meager and, in my opinion, not worth the price. You'd be better off having breakfast at a bakery. It's a shame, because with better room maintenance and a higher-quality breakfast, the experience would have been much better.
