The hotel is directly across the street from Gare St. Charles, which makes it very convenient both for arriving by train (or on the train from the airport) and for catching the Metro for getting around Marseille. The area has a grocery store as well as some restaurants and cafés and is a short walk or Metro ride to a number of destinations. The hotel itself is clean and comfortable.

Convenient location, fresh decor, good sound insulation, good buffet breakfast. Being handy for a mainline station, however, brings the usual issues these places attract: vagrants and dodgy characters, but the hotel itself is excellent value.
