Its right next to the train station, and its very convenient. However, the room is very small, especially the bathroom. Also, the AC is weak and not cool enough during summer. Location is very good, as its close to several car rental companies.
Location is right beside the train station and has dining options as well.

Very nice welcome when I arrived quite late, I could still order some food and drink. Room was fine and the location of the hotel is excellent just next to the train station and within walking distance to the city centre.

Ideal hotel when travelling by train
An ideal hotel when travelling by train. Just a very short walk across the road from main station. Hotel quite basic but the room was comfortable and clean. There is a bar with outside seating. Bearing in mind how close it is to train station the area was very quiet at night.
The room was not nice and the table next to the bed was broken. Also charged €15 two times and though I messaged the hotel, I never heard back. The reason I gave 2 stars and not 1 star is because the staff were very nice.
Really convenient location for Gare Marseille St Charles. The hotel is super quiet and also a great option for someone like me, travelling alone, I could eat in and not have to brave the streets around which are quite busy.
Conveniently located, super friendly staff, nice vibe ! Recommended

The location was perfect for us as it was close to the train station, metro and airport bus. Just 2 metro stops to the old port. Good restaurants all around the area.
Well located hotel right next to main train station . Very little noise from station

Great deal for a night literally across the street from the train station. Clean enough, quiet, small but for the price much better than the old options. Toilet did not work though.
Clean, comfortable, efficient hotel. Good location next to the train station. Staff was friendly and helpful. Wonderful recommendation for dinner! Rooms need more outlets/usb ports. Hair dryer needs updating. Otherwise, high marks!
The restaurant in the hotel is again a restaurant rather than a burger joint, which is a Good Thing as the Asian restaurant in the gare has closed down. We avoid going out and about in the streets around the gare in the evening so a decent restaurant in the hotel is welcome.
Conveniently closed to the train station. Nice staff. Nice restaurant. Convenient late hours bar with food. The only problem was that the third bed was wet and we keep getting water from who knows where. But it wasn't a big deal. We ended up staying two nights.
The room was small but the hotel was conveniently located right next to the main train station whoch was a priority for me. I only spent one night. It would have been great if I could have left my luggage at the front desk but instead they offered lockers that you had to pay for.
The most convenient location to access the train station, the staff was at some point overwhelmed, and the wait to have service seemed a bit long. The bar downstairs is convenient. I have to note that the shower/shampoo soap in my room was water down,
A very pleasant stay in a conveniently located hotel. Staff are friendly and facilities are normal for an Ibis red hotel. Beware that there is no kettle or fridge in the room . I did not have breakfast there because I did not want a big breakfast so the 11 euro buffet was not required
