Located just steps away from the tram and bus stops, this apartment makes it incredibly easy to get around Marseille and reach the city center in no time. The room is spacious, quiet, and impeccably clean—perfect for a relaxing stay. I was impressed by how well-maintained everything was, from the bedding to the bathroom. The location is ideal if you're exploring the city on foot or using public transport. It’s a great value for money, offering comfort and convenience in one. I’d definitely book again next time I visit Marseille.
Staying at this former castle turned youth hostel was an absolute delight. I had the room to myself, which made for a peaceful and quiet night's sleep—no noise at all. The view from the window was stunning, especially in the evening light. While it’s a bit outside the city center (requiring a bus or metro ride to get into town), the journey is smooth and affordable. The shared bathroom is split by gender, with private shower stalls that offer good privacy. It’s not just a place to sleep—it feels like staying in history. Highly recommend for travelers who value tranquility and character over convenience.

Located in a convenient spot, it’s easy to get around the city by metro or on foot. For the quality, comfort, and hospitality, this place is an outstanding value.
