Hotel is about 12min walk to metro La Timone. 6 metro stations away from Saint-Charles station (metro-train-bus to airport). 4 stations from Vieux Port station (port & town center). Reception is okay but not friendley and smiley. Only one elevator, so wait, wait ....! Room carpet is dirty & bad odour ! A lot of group tourists, so wait, wait for check in and out, and the elevator ! Wifi only at the reception, not in the room. Supermarket Casino, cafe, snack, patisserie, boulangerie are close to metro La Timone. Marseille is older than Nice and Cannes, famous for La Bouillabaisse Soup and Soap made of pure olive oil. Do not forget to visit Les Calanques ( natural park with beautiful view of the Mediterranee ). Need minimum 3 days to visit Marseille. Better to choose another hotel closer to Vieux Port. Bon voyage !
