Hotel vicino a Parco Borély, Marsiglia

ottimo hotel a pochi passi dal porto staff gentile parcheggio convenzionato sotto l'hotel Avevo una camera al 9 piano con vista chiesa Bon madre illuminata di notte antonrlla italia

È stato un soggiorno fantastico! La camera e il bagno sono puliti. Il personale è accogliente e cordiale.

E un ottimo albergo vicino alla stazione. Ha un parcheggio interno, che considero una cosa importantissima. Ottima colazione, lo staff è molto professionale e educato. Compresi sicurezza, ristorazione e le ragazze della pulizia. possibiltà di richiedere le stanze sonorizzare.

L'hotel è molto carino la stanza che ci hanno dato era relativamente grande per essere in due.. inoltre era pulita e con un bel affaccio.. segnalo solo il fatto che non c'è il servizio di pulizia ,ma ovviamente era ben espresso nelle condizioni. Inoltre l'areatore non funzionava e una delle due lampadine per leggere non si poteva accendere. Per il resto lo consiglio anche per la posizione perché a pochi passi per l'autobus 83 che permette di raggiungere il centro in pochi minuti. Il personale è estremamente gentile e attento alle esigenze degli ospiti. La sala hall è davvero bella.

Cleaning ladies were demonstrating 53 days in front of the hotel when I arrived. The rotating door was covered with mud and confetti, while the black women danced to loud African beats. A complete shock! They continued during my stay… The front desk was super helpful after I contacted their manager. My flight was delayed and I arrived a day late so they managed to modify my reservation without extra payment. My card didn’t work so I gave a cash deposit and they sent me an email when my suitcase that had been delayed arrived (so as not to wake me up). The housekeeping was average- twice they didn’t restock the water. Once they forgot a cleaning chemical. Another time they didn’t restock the decaffeinated capsules. Also they could have been more generous with the toilet paper. It’s the very thin recycled one, that goes fast. Breakfast was delicious and the restaurant spacious, with a garden overlooking the marina. The room was large, modern and quiet, with an amazing view of the harbor, including both sunsets and sunrises! I even saw the incredible half an hour long fireworks for Bastille day right under my window! The bed is big and comfortable, pillows a bit too soft, lighting is good but there are no toiletries (which was initially problematic due to the lost luggage). Room service wasn’t available the only night that I wanted to order it - due to Bastille day celebrations. The QR code don’t work on my phone so I had to call the reception to order. Also there was no alcoholic drinks listed, plus I had no fridge in the room, so I couldn’t fully relax and enjoy my holiday. The hotel doesn’t have a spa, which is a shame. So I made a reservation online and got a massage in the Hammam spa a few minutes from the hotel)very expensive and not great). The closest one to the hotel was closed. The pool is gorgeous but in another building which requires another elevator to be taken at the ground floor. A bit of a hassle…The gym is basic but good. Gets pretty busy and dirty at the end of the day. There are many nice restaurants nearby and even a small Proxi shop. There is a bus stop 1min away, that goes to the Terrace du Port. And the taxi conveniently dropped me off right in front of the hotel. The Mucem and Cosquer caves visible from the hotel, are a bit pleasant 25min walk away and the well worth the visit. Overall, I was satisfied with my stay, and would come again if the above issues were resolved.

Il vantaggio principale è la vicinanza alla stazione ferroviaria, situata in posizione elevata. Trasportare i bagagli in giro per la città, soprattutto in zone come il Porto Vecchio, può essere piuttosto difficoltoso. Prendere la metropolitana e poi un taxi sarebbe un'opzione migliore. Marsiglia è una zona molto collinare. L'ibis è noto per la sua eccellente insonorizzazione: il rumore dei vicini che chiudono le porte è meno forte del rumore fuori dalla finestra. La colazione è abbastanza buona per il prezzo.

This article, detailing the £1.5 billion acquisition of the sandwich chain 'Bitesize' by the investment conglomerate 'ABC Holdings,' is more than just a fictional narrative. It serves as a brilliantly constructed and highly relevant case study that mirrors the real-world 2018 acquisition of Pret A Manger by JAB Holding Company. As an analytical tool, it excels in capturing the complexity and multi-layered nature of modern corporate strategy, making it an invaluable resource for students and professionals alike. What the Article Does Well The standout feature of this case study is its grounding in reality. By using a thinly-veiled parallel to a major, recent transaction, it immediately engages the reader with a sense of relevance and authenticity. The narrative successfully avoids being a dry recitation of facts and instead presents a compelling story of ambition, competition, and immense financial stakes. Furthermore, the article excels in providing a 360-degree view of the transaction. It masterfully explores the motivations and outcomes for all key players: The Acquirer (ABC): It clearly frames the deal not as an isolated purchase, but as a strategic chess move in a larger ”coffee war” against its primary rival, Nestlé. The Seller (Link): It highlights the immense profitability of the deal for the private equity owner, showcasing a highly successful investment exit and illustrating the concept of realizing value. The Target (Bitesize): It presents a balanced picture of a company with strong historical performance but facing significant contemporary challenges, such as international expansion doubts and post-Brexit staffing issues. The Industry Rival (Nestlé): The inclusion of Nestlé's reactive, high-stakes deals (the Starbucks alliance and Blue Bottle acquisition) provides crucial context, demonstrating that M&A decisions are often made in a competitive vacuum. As an educational tool, the case study seamlessly weaves in critical business concepts without feeling like a textbook. Readers are naturally introduced to valuation multiples (15x EBITDA), strategic exits (IPO vs. sale), debt-inclusive pricing, and the importance of a management team's ”proven track record.” Areas for Improvement While comprehensive in its strategic overview, the case could be enhanced for advanced learners by a deeper dive into the financial mechanics of the deal. The article mentions the £1.5bn price is ”inclusive of debt,” but a more detailed analysis of Bitesize's balance sheet, the structure of the financing used by ABC, or the potential synergies expected to justify the high valuation multiple would elevate it further. Additionally, the direct strategic synergy between a ”coffee-focused” company (ABC/JAB) and a sandwich chain (Bitesize/Pret) could be more explicitly articulated. While implied, clearly stating that a significant portion of Pret's revenue comes from high-margin coffee sales in prime urban locations would instantly clarify why it was such an attractive target for a beverage conglomerate. Conclusion In summary, the 'ABC-Bitesize' case study is a brilliantly constructed piece of business analysis. It effectively uses a real-world scenario to teach complex lessons about corporate strategy, competitive dynamics, and the immense pressures of the global M&A landscape. It serves as a perfect snapshot of a high-stakes corporate chess match, making it a highly recommended read for anyone studying business, finance, or strategy. It is both an engaging story and a powerful learning instrument.

Semplicemente un ottimo hotel per chi viaggia con un budget limitato. La camera è calda. Lo spazio è piccolo. Il personale alla reception è davvero accogliente, disponibile e gentile. Abbiamo adorato il nostro soggiorno.

Solitamente vado in questo hotel, l'accoglienza è cordiale, la posizione è ottima, all'ingresso di Marsiglia e proprio accanto al porto di L'Estaque.

First time in Marseille. Fine to have stayed at this apartment but probably won't again. I had to chase for the access instructions myself. Also annoying to have to go pick up the keys from Ibis (collection itself was quick), which is a 9-minute walk to the apartment. The fob worked but the 2 keys attached did not open any doors. Email instructions, while clear, were not entirely accurate - referring to going right when in fact I needed to find the apartment on the left. Bit of drama one morning as I forgot my phone inside the apartment and had locked myself out. Had keys on me but the keys couldn't actually open the door, and of course I couldn't remember the super-secure 9-digit digital code! Only eventually managed to get in but asking a neighbour who thankfully was able to call the apartment manager. They should have given me working manual keys but never did. Apartment itself was very clean. Lots of linen. Comfortable bedding in the bedroom as well as hidden under the sofa bed. Basic toiletries included. Washing machine worked. Heating was plenty sufficient. No dishwasher but not an issue as I did not cook much. (2 induction hob rings right against the wall which I didn't think was conducive to cooking anything more than the super basic, but fine for me this trip.) Overall it was okay. Location super convenient, but I'd prefer somewhere quieter, where people and traffic noise wouldn't be so loud and go on after hours. Also somewhere without people relieving themselves next to large bins right outside the building's front door. Somewhere more pleasant...
