Staff was super helpful in giving directions to get to the Calanques! And got us breakfast to go for the morning. The room was a little musty and the hallway of guests quite loud, but you could not get a more convenient location next to the train station. The street behind the hotel is a little sketchy, but walking to the old town/downtown On the orher streets surrounding was great!
It is close to the train station and perfect for early morning train travel. Staff were very helpful. It was just what we needed for one night stay and early morning train. Thank you!
For anyone arriving at the Marseille Saint-Charles station, hotel location 100 meters away. Hotel staff helpful, room clean and bathroom clean/modern and shower large for European budget hotel standards. Great value for money hotel and convenient to Vieux Port and neighborhoods

Location was great for train station. For elevator have to climb one flight of steps, then only 1 person with or without one suitcase could use at a time.
Staff were wonderful!!!

Exactly what is needed at the Train Station
Simple, clean, inexpensive, across from the Train station. Better than I had expected.
I was quick off the train. This hotel very convenient and filled my immediate need perfectly. It’s the central train station area so nighttime has characters roaming about the neighborhood. The hotel is very established and secure. I would stay again based on its local convenience to everything.
Nice hotel for a one or two night stay. Staff is super friendly. Room is clean but small. Close to the train/bus station and to old port. Weird smell in the hall
Staff and property were great! A/C worked really well while I stayed during summer. No iron and safe did not work in the room but was not that important/affected my stay in any way.

Would have been better if the elevator hadn't been broken.
You let us down Expedia. Way too much money for this horrible place. We felt unsafe, it was old and very dirty and did not resemble the advertised write up.

Front desk were competent, rooms were reasonable priced being so close to the train station. Our room was clean but cramped. Air conditioner worked very well. There was some noise even when the window was closed. Very small elevator and had to walk up one flight of stairs to catch it.

Great staff, convenient for station,problem drains
Very convenient location and very friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast was basic. Air conditioning in room very effective. Issue was an odd smell of chemicals in room on arrival which developed into an unpleasant drains smell overnight.
