6/10 Good

Basic room with outdated bathroom, but very convenient location.
Verified review

4/10 Fair

The hotel was very convenient for the train station - they held our luggage at check-in, and lockers to use for check out. The hotel is in a dodgy area and the walkway into the hotel stinks of urine where the homeless urinate outside! We ate in the restaurant and watched several rats outside in the outside courtyard area.Inside the hotel is clean and tidy and what you would expect of a budget hotel.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

Much better than exoected. Creative use of a small space in the room and incredible location. The only thing is that we saw a couple of rats in the outside room of the restaurant
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel's location is very convenient for the airport, which is why I always choose to stay here whenever I visit Marseille, especially when I have an early airport shuttle or flight to catch. The room was clean, and the bed was comfortable, making for a pleasant stay. The only downside is outside the hotel. As you approach from the street side, there is a strong smell of urine, which is a bit off-putting. Unfortunately, this is something I've noticed on every visit. However, once inside the hotel and at reception, everything is perfectly fine.

Ideal hotel when travelling by train

An ideal hotel when travelling by train. Just a very short walk across the road from main station. Hotel quite basic but the room was comfortable and clean. There is a bar with outside seating. Bearing in mind how close it is to train station the area was very quiet at night.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

Great location. Just push your luggage off the train and across the street and you are here! Best Feature of all! Tiny room but perfect for a quick overnight for an early trip by the train or take the bus from the train station to the airport!
Verified review

6/10 Good

Its right next to the train station, and its very convenient. However, the room is very small, especially the bathroom. Also, the AC is weak and not cool enough during summer. Location is very good, as its close to several car rental companies.
Verified review

4/10 Fair

The room was not nice and the table next to the bed was broken. Also charged €15 two times and though I messaged the hotel, I never heard back. The reason I gave 2 stars and not 1 star is because the staff were very nice.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

We had a great stay at ibis Marseille Centre Gare Saint Charles! The hotel and its facilities were clean and well-kept. Our room was clean and had everything we needed. The staff were very friendly and answered our questions about our scheduled train ride. While smoking is very common in Europe, it is good to keep in mind (especially if you or your young children are sensitive to the smell) that some cigarette smoke may come through your window from the café below - we didn’t mind too much ourselves. The best feature of the hotel is that it is steps away from Gare Saint-Charles station (major train station) which is extremely convenient if you have an early-morning train ride like we did!
Verified review

6/10 Good

The location was excellent for the train station, just across the parking lot. The room was just ok, no outlets by the bed, paid extra for a twin bed which was just an uncomfortable fold out cot. The bathroom was outdated and the shower floor had stains, bath towels were provided but no hand towels.
Verified review

6/10 Good

The reception staff were quite rude and did not treat guests in a friendly or welcoming manner. They could also improve the quality of the rooms, as everything feels very old and worn out. On a positive note, the breakfast was good.

Verified review

8/10 Very good

The hotel is conveniently located in walking distance from Sant Charles main train station. We had an issue trying to return our rental as Google maps kept saying it was near the hotel, but in most European cities, the car rentals are underground, and it was a block away. The hotel staff were very accommodating, and check in was a breeze. I noticed in a few of these hotels, the sinks are shallow and clog up easily. The room was very small, but it suited our needs for a one night stay. I liked that they had a bar and restaurant, and the staff was friendly.

6/10 Good

Hotel was at good location to get around. But overall it was not great there is a lot of homeless people a cross the terase for restaurant so when we have breakfast the smell would be coming from there and in front entrance you can smell it. Breakfast selection was ok but staff was not replenish it often and there was a lot of flys going on the food that is there. And parking was available but it is public parking for train stations so no discount from hotel and it is not close to bring bags to front desk.
