Great value stay in central Marseille
Pros:

Good value hotel near the train station. Buffet breakfast was decent, enough choice for vegans including almond milk on request, toast, beans, fruit salad, little jars of apple sauce and cinnamon stewed prunes which were delicious

Pros:

The staff was very friendly and helpful. Great recommendations for lunches and dinners. The hotel room was very clean and spacious for our needs. The hotel was in a great location. It was very close the train station and rental cars. Also there were several restaurants within walking distance. They do not have parking, but there is a garage that the car rentals are in that is public parking as well. This is a family owned hotel. The breakfast was great.

Pros:

Nice hotel, helpful friendly staff, good breakfast bad neighbourhood. For the cost of the hotel if you are stay few days I would suggest the vieux port. Much better neighbourhood. Alex is great for one night and a need to be close to the station.

Pros:

The property was conveniently located right across from a train/bus station, and within walking distance to major sites.

Room was very clean and staff extremely friendly, helpful and accommodating.

That said, the immediate area around the property was fairly dirty, messy and overall unappealing.

Suite was Sweet
Pros:

The suite with private balcony overlooking the city was worth it! I rarely pay for the nicest room on property when I travel but this room was perfect. The Air Conditioning was also very strong. Breakfast was serviceable and a cheap add on at booking (check the rates, it was $6 more with our room but $14+ with others)

Nice hotel
Pros:

Great location right next to the train station. Be sure to go down the escalator and not the stairs as they are a challenge with luggage.
Easy to walk around the city from here.
Room was great- we got a jr suite for extra space and it was perfect!
