I do not recommend this place for people that are easily awaken. First night we stayed in a room facing the street and was awaken early by construction and honking on the street. But the personal was very nice and helped us with another room. But still hard to sleep after 08:00 because you can hear every door opening. I... More

My friend and I stayed here as part of our travels around Europe and found it to be an adequate hotel for the price we paid for it and for the 2* rating it had. The location isn't perfect as you come to expect with 2* hotels in major cities - we were around a 20 minute walk from the... More

We stayed 3 nights at this hotel and it was a total mistake. The price was cheap but paying slightly more you can get a lot nicer budget hotel from a better area. The hotel rooms are extremely small which is naturally the French style but these hotel rooms are also dirty (especially the bath room!) and the walls are... More

This hotel is good value for money, the rooms are tidy, there is a tv or you can wander downstairs to the games room. There is a supermarket round the corner, it is a 15 min walk from the train station and centre of Marseille. It is the perfect hotel if you just want a cheap and clean hotel to... More

This isnt an expensive hotel so we didnt expect much for when we arrived. We were pleasantly surprised. The rooms are clean and nice, bathroom was nice and clean too. The shower was a little small but not a problem for us. The breakfast was what we expected and enjoyed, it is nice the little courtyard not the most glamorous... More

I stayed here for 3 nights with a friend. We had read rather bad reviews and had no expectations but can only say that while it isn't fantastic, what do you expect with a price this good? I was happy! Location is great, and it is a short walk to the centre. There are some rather dodgy areas in close... More

I stayed here for one night with my boyfriend. The location is a bit far from the center (the hotel is marketing themselves as being located "10 minutes walk away" from the center) - it takes about 20 minutes by foot to the old port and there is also a bus stop near the hotel (from the bus stop it...
