The hotel also offers luggage storage, which came in handy when we arrived early. While there’s a McDonald’s right downstairs, I found a taxi stand just a short walk to the left, making transfers smooth and stress-free. Overall, this place combines charm, convenience, and comfort—definitely one of the best stays in Marseille, especially for travelers who value location and quality.

The rooms are quiet, cozy, and beautifully decorated with unique, thoughtfully curated details that give each space a personal touch. I’ve stayed at several 4-star hotels that didn’t come close to matching the quality and comfort here.

Staying at Alex Hotel & Spa in Marseille was a pleasant surprise—its proximity to the train station is incredible. Just a 200-meter walk from the station, it’s super convenient for getting around the city. The room is compact but well-organized; two large 28-inch suitcases fit, though space is tight when fully unpacked. Breakfast met European three-star standards—plenty of options, fresh pastries, and local touches.

The Ibis Budget Marseille Vieux-Port is perfectly located—walking distance to the old port and all the main sights, making it super convenient for exploring the city. Breakfast was solid: fresh fruit, cold cuts, and a good selection of pastries. However, the room lacked bedside tables, which made it awkward to place personal items. The bathroom didn’t come with hand towels or a hairdryer—both had to be requested at reception and returned immediately. If you wanted to keep the dryer, you had to leave your ID as collateral, which felt a bit odd. Our bed was very noisy and stiff, and the pillows were overly soft with no shape, so they weren’t great for comfort. If you’re sensitive to noise or have trouble sleeping, avoid weekends—the building is right above bars and restaurants, and even with double-glazed windows, street sounds carried through clearly. Overall, the price-to-quality ratio is fair for a budget stay, but the rooms are definitely basic. It’s best suited for travelers looking for a simple, no-frills overnight option rather than a relaxing retreat.

Overall, this place offers excellent value for money, combining comfort, convenience, and a home-like atmosphere. I’d definitely stay here again and recommend it to fellow travelers looking for a practical and pleasant base in Marseille.
