"Nothing to do with the Paris design house, this excellent-value hotel has a rooftop terrace with panoramic Vieux Port views." Full review
Rough Guide
"Two-star in a superb position just off the Vieux Port, with plain but comfortable rooms with flatscreen TV."
Fodor's
"Although the rooms are rather snug, this modest city hotel is right around the corner from the Quai du Port and is a good value." Full review

Ask for one of the fifth-floor rooms with tiny balconies overlooking the port—or the crow's nest "nuptiale" double with private rooftop terrace.
