Marseille Hotel Guide. Odalys Hotels in Marseille, France

The hotel is located close to Canebiere, traditionally the "Champs-Elysees" of Marseille, although today it gives more of a feel of being in North Africa with many places purely frequented by immigrants. This is not really a problem, as people are friendly enough. The positive thing is that the hotel is close to Vieux-Port, the old harbour district as well as being well-served by public transport; tram and metro close by. There are also several shops nearby with restaurants in the Vieux-Port area. The hotel itself is doubling as student accommodation, but I have to say that this is excellent accommodation. The rooms are clean, beds comfortable, kitchen and bathroom modern and clean. The kitchen is small, so not much cooking can be done, but still enough for a simple dinner or breakfast.

I found the location difficult to navigate. The office was at the entire other end of the complex from the parking, and when we checked in we were directed to another location about 400 m up the road. If we had carried all our luggae to the offie, then had to carry it all back to the vehicle, load up and move to the 2nd facility locaiton, I would have been even less enthused. The facility was well kept, and clean, if less than extravagant. Overall a suitable comfortable option for the average person's vacation accomodation
