Ibis Marseille Centre Gare Saint Charles

“Ibis a perfect overnight stop”

Perfect stop when arriving in Marseille late evening and catching an early train. Across the road from Gare st Charles. Good restaurant, pleasant environment out in the garden. walking distance from the vieux port and the tourist centre.

“Good value hotel!”

We really enjoyed our 4 nights here. The staff are lovely and obviously happy in their work. The bedroom is small and bathroom as well but it was perfectly adequate for us!

We really enjoyed our 4 nights here. The staff are lovely and obviously happy in their work. The bedroom is small and bathroom as well but it was perfectly adequate for us! Breakfast was good with a very good choice of bread, fruit yogurts and freshly squeezed orange juice. I like tea in the morning and there was lovely loose tea for me to make up my own tea bag! The hotel is close to train station and for airport bus. It was close to cafes, restaurants and attractions. It was good value for money considering the good value price we paid!

“Not terrible but should have chosen nearer the port”

I stayed at this hotel for 4 nights in Septebmer 2023. I'm a solo traveller who came to see Marseille. The hotel isn't bad. Just slightly out of the way for a 60 year old like me..

I stayed at this hotel for 4 nights in Septebmer 2023. I'm a solo traveller who came to see Marseille. The hotel isn't bad. Just slightly out of the way for a 60 year old like me.. Marseille is very hilly and the hotel (and train station is perched on the top of a hill). The train station is right next door (as is the bus to the airport), and there is a metro stop. There is a handy Carrefour just across from the station. Hotel positives - the breakfast is lovely. Buffet style and the outdoor terrace is nice and peaceful in the morning. I had a standard double room which was good enough for me solo but I can imagine a couple bumping into each other. The bathroom/shower is adequate. The room has air-con which was a godsend in the the 30+ degree heat outside. Negatives - there is no safe in the room. If you want to look up your valuables you do it at reception at cost. There is no free luggage store for that last day. There are lockers you can use charging from 6 euros depending on size. The hotel does have a bar/cafe. I used it for a beer once (7 euros) and didn't again. I would class this a 3 star hotel with basic facilities. However as a stop for visiting Marseille and seeing the sights, not bad. In hindsight, for me, I wish I'd chosen somewhere nearer the port with more bars/restaurants nearby.
