The staff were extremely helpful during our 5 day stay during the very busy Rugby World Cup quarter final weekend. We were not expecting much from the restaurant but the choice of dishes was reasonably good and the food itself was very good. A great location near the Gare St Charles giving easy access to the underground system.

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.

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!

Stayed here for two nights and I’m glad it wasn’t longer. The hotel is listed as a three star hotel but it felt like 2 stars MAXIMUM. Only stay here if you want the bare minimum. The room is extremely small with a tiny bathroom and even smaller shower. I stayed with my partner and we found ourselves bumping into things/eachother constantly. He could barely fit in the shower. Only two pillows on the bed. No mini bar or kettle. No tea or coffee. Be prepared to wipe your mouth with toilet paper because there are no tissues. Would not recommend and would never come back. I expected more from Ibis. This hotel should be listed under Ibis Budget because it did not feel like a 3 star hotel. Go elsewhere. Only positive is the 2 minute walk to Marseille Saint Charles Station.

Response from regis koch, Directeur général at Ibis Marseille Centre Gare Saint-Charles
Responded Dec 16, 2022
Our 3-star ibis hotel does not offer the features that you can find in 4-star hotels like Novotel or Mercure. The rates we offer are related to the services you can find in more economical range hotels. I suggest you in the future to switch to a range more appropriate to your desires. Yours sincerely:)

Stayed two nights. Located very close to the train station. When I arrived the room was hot and stuffy, but I was told that the A/C had been turned off for the season. I had to sleep with the window open, but street noise starts very early in the morning. Soundproofing is generally lacking and one can hear noise from other rooms, especially slammed doors. Fortunately it quieted down after midnight. The key card quit working after 4 hours. Tiny room and bathroom. Comfortable bed and pillows. Minimal amenities: only one small waste basket (in the bathroom), no electric kettle. Two available power outlets. No toiletries provided other than liquid hand soap. In the bathroom there were two thin bath towels and a bath mat; no hand towels. The shower cabin was very small and had absolutely zero shelf space: the only place to put toiletries, comb, etc. was the floor. Average wifi. Reasonably friendly staff. Overall the hotel is too spartan for the price paid.

Easy access from the train station. Sketchy area around the station (as expected). I was with my family and we didn't feel too safe being out at night in the area. Room was clean and a decent size. The best part of our stay was the restaurant Narvik. We went there 3 times during our 4 nights stay. Great patio, friendly service, and excellent food. The hotel was walking distance to Vieux-port (15-20 minutes), and many cafes out that way.Not sure if I would stay here again, but it did have great value for what was paid.

One night stay, room was standard Ibis size which is perfect for a couple & child. It was quiet, very clean and well-stocked w/toiletries & linen. Beds were comfortable (huge double bed and separate fold-out) and the TV offered various international channels. Reception staff were friendly, and offered luggage-drop prior to check-in which was appreciated. Exceptional value for money all-round.

Nice place, good breakfast and quiet. Booked through Deutsche bahn and it was remarkably cheap. The staff are attentive and welcoming. The hotel runs a bistro and we were able to get a late dinner. Arrived late by train so the location just beside the train station is excellent 👌

First, the hotel is just outside the station- less than 2 minutes walk. second, the entry into the hotel is as seen in the pix. little walk through and people sitting and enjoying the silence. lobby is friendly and welcoming. there is restaurant inside with lively TV/music. receptionists are welcoming and checkin was fast. nice corridors on the 2nd floor and the room for three was spacious. a sofa cum bed was comfortable. window overlooking the parking lot. gives privacy. from the hotel one can take a metro ticket 5.20 euros for 24 hours and go anywhere. the breakfast is part in restaurant and outdoors - the latter is heavenly. little fruit and vegetable plants. very good fair- detox water, croissants, fresh fruit, yogurt, tea, coffee, fresh orange juice you can make for self,...good for vegetarians too. would recommend to everyone. only positives for this hotel and it is well priced. in night one can jsut sit in open and enjoy the silence. Go for it.

I am admirer of Ibis concept of practical hotels located near train stations .. compact room sizes without much compromise. This hotel has excellent location and you can see trains and platforms from the room window. Check in was super quick. Rooms are nice with fresh Towels and nice bedsheets as well as pillows. Wifi is also good. However, drinking water is a big issue . After all how much water you can buy and bring from outside . Me and my wife consume 3 to 5 litres of water a day. Ibis does not provide water in the rooms nor they have any water or ice dispenser. They don’t even give electric kettles in the room to make tea and coffee. This is such a basic thing. They may not give tea coffee sachets but kettles are a must. We carry our own tea coffee and even cups. I visited the bar several times to get drinking water and hot water for tea coffee. The staff did give but with a poker face. For the lack of this basic facility I have reduced 2 stars.
