Hi there, we didn't know we had breakfast included, so we did not have breakfast there.

Mercure Marseille Centre Vieux Port
L’hôtel est un peu vieillot, et le quartier… plutôt très populaire et même parfois inquiétant. L’accès au parking…difficile. Pour autant, chambres propres et confortables, personnel gentil et avenant, super cocktails et bon snacking au bar.
