“Exactly what we wanted”

This was the perfect place for a long girls' weekend in Marseille. As a note to anyone traveling to Marseille for the first time, you can absolutely get here via public transportation. There's an airport shuttle in to town, then the metro will get you within a five minute walk. An online map printed off and friendly locals on the street will get you the rest of the way. The hotel was clean and had extremely comfortable beds, with mirrors, electrical outlets, and closet space for three girls to get ready every morning. The air conditioning kept the room livable in the warmer weather, although it never seemed strong enough to get the room truly cold feeling. Still, much better than no AC at all. The location is approximately a ten-minute walk from the main harbor/port area, and had tons of shopping and restaurants all around. As three girls traveling alone, safety was a big concern for us. This location felt very safe, and we never worried about walking out later at night. We didn't spend much time hanging out in the room itself except to sleep, but in the little time we did spend there, the staff were very friendly and helpful, and were happy to hold our bags for us after we checked out. Cute little patio downstairs to have breakfast on, and vending machines in the hotel for any late night bottled water cravings. Even in the short time we were there, they changed out our bedding every other day, and replaced the towels daily. Great place, great price, great experience.

“Goog Location”

The hotel is in a very good location close to metro, also easy walking distance to vieux port. Very clean and staff are helpful.

“Hard to find - nice hotel”

Hotel was hard to find. On a street that was not on the map. No diretions were provided. Close to a metro station and close walk to the waterfront (which was about the only thing to really see) so that was nice for getting around and back to the train station. Really nice hotel especially for the price.

“Great hotel for the money”

Had a good stay. Breakfast choice was limited but inexpensive.

“Deuxieme Classe...”

The hotel is well located on the edge of the city centre, a few minutes' walk from a metro station. There are several restaurants and cafes close by, though there is a steep climb to reach these. The Old Harbour is 15 minutes' walk away. Visited in September 2011 for a few days. Good points - comfortable beds, bath and shower provided, quiet area. Not so good - rooms are small. Although "fully renovated in 2010", carpets in corridors and hall were very dirty and smelled somewhat, bathroom door didn't close properly, poor quality furnishings. Free wifi was very slow with weak signal. One of the two lifts was out of order all week; the other was very unreliable. "All you can eat" breakfast buffet was limited in scope and quality (better value in local cafes.) Overall - it's a budget hotel. If you can put up with the limitations and don't expect too much, it should be OK.

“Basic but clean and good location for shops and the Vieux Port”

The hotel receptionist spoke very good English and was expecting us on arrival. The staff were friendly and knowledgable about the area, including taxi fares and walking routes / distances. If you stick to the main roads and apply common sense, as in all major city's, Marseille is very easy to walk around. The room was very basic but clean, quite and the bed was comfortable. The shops were within a few minutes walk and the Vieux Port approx 10 minutes walk. A taxi from the airport cost €60. On the return journey we got the Metro from the port that cost just €1.50 for a couple of stops to the main train station where we got a train to the airport for €4.40. Keep hold of your train ticket for the free shuttle bus to the terminal building.

“does the job”

Close to a metro. Vieux port within walking distance. If u want a very basic room go for it. The wifi works. there is a bed, ensuite, tv. Optional breakfast for 4.80€ was convenient and worthwhile. We didnt use the car park but others found it convenient. The egvening concierge was very friendly and helpful. He offered good advice.
