Terminus Saint Charles in Marseille

Train Station Hotel
Location is the biggest selling point of this hotel. It is SUPER convenient to the train station ... ~3 minute walk, so no matter what time of day you arrive, you can easily get there without having to worry about transportation. You can also store your luggage there after checkout, so if you aren't leaving the city immediately, you can go exploring and know your luggage is safe. The staff were very friendly and helpful to someone who doesn't speak French. The room itself was quiet but very basic. The bathroom ceiling had old water stains everywhere, the shower stall was very small and the tile grout was dirty. It was the kind of place you don't want to walk around barefoot. For me, the convenience outweighed the lack of amenities.

location convenient to train station Very basic room but clean. Area around hotel we felt we had to stay on high alert for safety

Overall ok, however had bed bugs bites. The bathroom lacks basic toiletries, only soap is provided.
Location is good, short 15 minutes walk to the old port area. service is responsive.
