Massilia Hotel

Nice location but a bit dangerous at night. The street where it locates is dirty too but the hotel itself is clean.

First of all if using BOLT/UBER to get here, use the lication as 59 Rue des Dominicaines, OTHERWISE Hotel Massilia will give you a wrong kication and you will get charged extra by the driver. FAIR WARNING. I believe this hostel is excellent value. The continental breakfast is adequate - but iverpriced at 10.50€. Nice to have milk with the cereal (Corn Flakes??). Nice baguettes to slice. Some days they have warm croissants. Various cheeses - each wrapped as a single serving. Fresh fruit. Bottled juices too. Coffee machine. The room was xmall, but nice for a single traveller. Good bathroom/wetroom actually - no shower enclosure. They provide dixposable slippers to use while showering so you don't slip. I did not use that shower, but sat on the floor instead. Still adequate. 😉 Ģood value. Safe, very quiet and immaculate - very clean. Hot water kettle cups and tea bags/coffee sachels was nice to gave in my room. A 10 minute walk down the nearby main street (turn L at hotel entrance, walk 50m to main street then turn right and walk maybe 100 meters) gets you to a Turkish-run grill (Sar?? Grill) with a good non-gourmet style of good food.

Very conveniently located for Gare St Charles, about a five minute walk. 24 hour reception, so ideal for my late arrival. Decent room (with kettle and coffee/green tea) and a comfortable bed. Functional bathroom. Breakfast was okay, but not sure it was worth €10.50.

Receptionist could not communicate in English, which one would expect in the hospitality industry. Room had 2 coffee sachets. I had a coffee at check-in and one that evening. When I asked for an extra sachet of coffee for the next morning, he refused to give me one. Is the cost of a single sachet vs a disappointed customer worth it? Sometimes It’s the small things that matter.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there. It is literally round the corner from Saint Charles. So very convenient for visiting other nearby towns. Two of the reception staffs we met gave great advice on places to visit and metro, tram tickets, etc. They were lovely. Thank you for an enjoyable stay!

Not in a particularly nice area but convenient for Saint Charles Station

This hotel was ideal, for what I needed, arriving quite late at night and on my own : somewhere clean and comfortable near the railway station. The staff on Reception were always helpful. My room, on the 1st floor, was fine for single occupancy, but might have been rather small for a couple with luggage. It was great to have a kettle in the room, to make tea and coffee: this is uncommon in France, but was one reason I decided to choose this hotel. I didn't try the breakfast, since I was heading down towards the port where there are many cafes. For anyone who needs it, the is a small Carrefour supermarket not far away by the station, and a good cheap Asian restaurant (Saveurs de Dong) on the main road near the hotel. I was able to leave my luggage with Reception when I checked out, and collect it in the afternoon to fit in with my plans. All in all, I would definitely choose this hotel again in similar circumstances.

Nice hotel, no problems during the stay. Close to train station.
