Allotel

Allotel offers several types of accommodation: double or twin rooms, studios with a kitchenette and a villa with a kitchen. The 16 or 20 m² rooms are suitable for two people; the studios accommodate up to four guests and the villa up to six. Each category has a private bathroom, air conditioning and a flat-screen TV. Soundproofing is also among the shared features.

The studios stand out for their kitchenettes, with a fridge, hob, microwave and kitchenware. The villa offers more space, with 65 m², a seating area, a terrace, garden views and a barbecue; it also has a coffee machine. The double and twin rooms are on the ground floor and have a private entrance. Depending on the layout, sleeping arrangements include a double bed, single beds or a sofa bed.

Allotel provides free private parking on site and free Wi-Fi throughout the hotel. The restaurant and café offer places to eat; breakfast is served as a continental or buffet option, and children’s menus are available. You can also enjoy the garden, while the games room, board games and shared lounge provide places to relax. Reception is open 24 hours a day, and luggage storage makes arrivals and departures easier.

Facilities include air conditioning, heating and soundproofed or allergy-friendly rooms. Accessibility features include a low washbasin, raised toilet and visual aids in Braille. Daily housekeeping is provided, with laundry and dry cleaning services also available. Pets are allowed, possibly for an extra charge, and pet bowls are available. Check-in takes place at the Hôtel Ariane next door.

Fos-sur-Mer lies between the Mediterranean coast, lagoons and port facilities of the Gulf of Fos. The town combines a Provençal centre with a strong maritime and industrial presence in the landscape. Visitors come for the beach, outdoor walks and heritage attractions; the region also suits those who want to explore several sides of Bouches-du-Rhône during one stay.

The Château de l'Hauture overlooks old Fos and offers a glimpse of local history. Along the shore, Grande Plage has space for swimming and walking, 2.9 km from the hotel. For an outing in a more natural setting, the Pourra nature reserve and the Ranquet estate offer lagoon and wetland landscapes. The village of Saint-Mitre-les-Remparts, with its narrow streets and historic heritage, is another excursion nearby. Marseille-Provence Airport is 20 km away; a car makes it easier to get between the coastal sites and neighbouring towns.

Summer days are well suited to the beach, which is busier during school holidays. In spring and September, the temperatures are often pleasant for combining visits, walks and breaks by the water. The mistral can make some days windy, especially on the coast, so an extra layer is useful for walks. A stay can combine a morning in old Fos, an outing to the lagoons and an afternoon on the coast, without leaving the landscapes characteristic of this part of Provence.
