ibis Styles Marseille Vieux Port

Great price for location. See comments below.

Location was perfect, 15 min walk from the train station and 7 min walk to the Old port, most attractions are in walkable distance. I booked a single bed room, but it had a very bad sewer smell from the bathroom (the room was very clean) and the receptionist changed my room without any problems. The breakfast was excellent: 3 types of bread, croissants, pain au chocolat, bio jams, fresh eggs you can cook according to your taste in an egg-cooker, cereals, scrambled eggs, fried bacon, salami, cheese, freshly squeezed orange juice, 6 types of tea in leaves.... It is a budget hotel that exceeded my expectations. I stayed in November, so I don't know about high season prices, but this was really value for the money stay.

The location is very near to the old harbour, the heart of the town. The staff at the reception was extremely helpful, friendly and respectful! The most friendly and helpful staff during my whole journey through France! They helped with all the luggage at my arrival day and also at my departure day and ordered a taxi at the departure day! They answered all questions and gave valuable information, for example where the next beach is and how to reach it by bus. The room was extraordinarily clean. The towels were always changed, when they were wet. The breakfast was good, with a variety of different fresh types of bread, jams from the region and honey, eggs and freshly pressed orange juice, cheese etc. For a nice welcome one smaller glass of honey from the Provence was standing inside the room as a present, which is a very nice gesture! One could take drinking water at the reception for free. Air conditioner inside the room, which was working very well.

Perfect location. Big room and bathroom. Good breakfast. Helpful staff at reception.

Exceptional value for money. The location cant be beaten, with the best cafe and best restaurant in the city right below. The rooms and bathrooms were clean with great air conditioning. The real standout was the staff. Incredibly kind and helpful with recommendations for the city. This is what separated it from other budget hotels, and why I am inclined to leave a review. If the manager reads this, please thank the lovely women and men on the reception on the 3rd 4th and 5th September!
