Le Jardin d'Emile

Zeer gezellig hotel, Nathalie en Manon zijn schattig, ze doen er alles aan om ervoor te zorgen dat je verblijf geweldig verloopt :) Wat het ontbijt betreft, raad ik het aan ++++ Alles is vers en zelfgemaakt Gemakkelijk te bereiken en dicht bij het centrum We zullen blijven er weer met plezier!

Zeer leuke verrassing! Het hotel en de kamers zijn gewoon prachtig en smaakvol ingericht. De ontvangst is zeer vriendelijk en warm. Daar wordt een echt ontbijt geserveerd met verse, zelfgemaakte producten. Wij komen terug...

Goed gelegen, klein hotel met veel charme, zeer warm welkom. Zeer goed beddengoed. De kamers met uitzicht op de tuin zijn schattig, super leuk klein terras. Het ontbijt is heel erg goed. Parkeren in het etablissement. Ik raad deze plek aan. Het enige negatieve punt: de badkamer die een opfrisbeurt verdient.

Zeer warm welkom. Kamer met klein terras met mooi uitzicht op zee. Gastronomisch ontbijt. Goed advies voor het vinden van een restaurant. Een charmante jonge vrouw redde onze verjaardagsavond na een overboeking in een gerenommeerd restaurant in Cassis. Hartelijk dank aan jou.

Zeer atypisch hotel, verrassend en zeer schoon. Stevig ontbijt met verse fruitsalade en heerlijke zelfgemaakte taarten! En vooral het welkom, het advies en de vriendelijkheid van Charline bovenaan!!!

Cassis is nestled into the cliffs! The Jardin d’Emile is an Amazing location, beautiful views, lovely breakfast, the room was clean and comfortable and spacious overlooking the Mediterranean. You could walk to the water front and enjoy delicious food, drinks, local shopping, and village life.

Our stay at Jardin d'Emile was delightful. Very quaint and well-appointed boutique hotel. The staff was attentive and helpful. Our room had amazing sea views and was just across the street from one of the beaches. The town of Cassis is beautiful. Although the hotel is not in the main part of town it is a short 10 minute walk.

We stayed here past 2 nights. Really quaint and nice hotel. Comfortable and clean room with a lot of character. Breakfast was simple but of good quality and nice. More coffee could have been offered though. Service was very friendly and the hotel location is excellent, just across from the beach.

I am a seasoned traveler and have made bookings for years and years of travel based on Tripadvisor reviews. This is the first time where I feel completely perplexed (deceived!) by all the 5 star reviews. Actually I am shocked. First, I want to make clear that I do not enjoy writing negative reviews. But, in the interest of providing frequent travelers like myself with an honest assessment of this hotel, I feel compelled to do so. Negatives: • The hotel is not “quaint.” It is rundown, old and musty smelling. The room deodorizer used to cover up the mustiness gave me a headache. We had a room with a balcony, but that didn’t make up for the fact that the furnishings were very old and tired which made the place felt unclean as a result. • The door to the balcony was hard to manage. With the high winds that night, we felt very lucky that it did not blow open during the night. • The bathroom had a standalone tub, with NO separate shower stall. We skipped the bath. • The lighting was very dim. I wondered if that was intentional. • The main “lounge area” (which a prior reviewer praised), looked messy, old, and uninviting. I should have taken a picture. • Breakfast needed to be ordered the night before – ok, I’ve experienced it at prior hotels. But they wanted you to tell them exactly what you wanted so that they could pick it up elsewhere in the morning to give to you. For 19 euros, only pastries and coffee available. Eggs, etc. were extra. For that price you could have 2 full, fresh breakfasts by walking the short distance to town. • The pictures on the website are beyond deceiving. Not even close to what we saw. • Here’s a kicker - when my husband and I walked into town for dinner, we were told if we returned after 9 am, that we would have to walk uphill to the hotel next door and ask them to unlock the gates to let us back onto our hotel property. Huh? • And all of the above for 215 euros per night! We paid far less at other hotels on this trip with triple the amount of amenities, not to mention much nicer accommodations. Truly a rip-off. Positives • Parking is free • The young lady who checked us in was very sweet and helpful. She provided us with several restaurant recommendations. • While the room felt very old and musty, the bed sheets were at least clean. Not worth 215 euros though. I would bet in its heyday that this was a charming boutique hotel. But it is clearly well past its prime and I wouldn’t even pay 50 euros to stay there now. Sorry. There are many other nicer hotels in the area to choose from.
