greet Hotel Marseille Centre Saint Charles 2 stars

Chose Greet last minute as we were needing a hotel near the station for early departure. Greet popped up with a really good price so we took it and we’re pleasantly surprised. Will go again.

Great location, near the train station and a 15 minute walk from the old port. Super friendly staff, comfy room and a simple breakfast, although surprisingly with no croissants!! It is in a busy, noisy area, but you’ve no sense of that in the hotel. We went to see Wales in the Rugby World Cup and I’d definitely use again.

Stayed here when watching Wales at the rugby World Cup. Was a little apprehensive after reading some of the reviews, but found it absolutely great. Super location near the station and about a 15 minute walk from the old port. Room was clean and spacious, beds were very comfortable and we had a nice bathroom, with a wet area shower. Breakfast is simple, but fresh and adequate, only one surprise in France, no croissants. Loved the room it was served in and the random furniture, crockery and cutlery. Staff were really friendly and always helpful. It is a noisy area, but it’s Marseille, but with the window shut, you were not aware of it. I would definitely use again.

The hotel was about a 10 minute, easy walk from the station. On arrival I thought I’d gone in the wrong entrance as the reception also doubles as a bar area but the staff were friendly and welcoming and I was soon checked in. I had booked a family room as this was all that was available although I was travelling on my own. There was a double bed and bunk beds with very little floor space left. There was also a small desk (but no chair) and a small hanging area with about 5 hangers and some shelves. The room would be very cramped if at full capacity with the only place to sit being the double bed. There was one useable socket (another wouldn’t take my adapter) and a double usb only outlet. The bathroom by contrast was quite large with a good shower over the bath. Both bathroom and bedroom had opening windows. The breakfast was continental style with cereals, cheese, meats and bread, pastries and crepes. Also freshly made orange juice which was delicious . Almond and oat milk was available. The hotel was centrally situated within walking distance of the main sights and just a couple of minutes walk from Noilles metro if you want to use that. Overall this is a budget hotel but is perfectly decent for a short stay.

Clean room. Good shower. Bed was comfortable. Walls are quite thin.
