The location is convenient between St Charles Railway Station and La Canebiere. 15 mins walk from Port Vieux, but the area is dodgy. The photos on their website mislead us to book this hotel and foolishly I forgot to check on tripadvisor before making the decision! We were shocked when we arrived at the hotel and saw its surrounding area,... more

Select Hotel is conveniently located nearby train station and adjacent to city centre (5 minutes walk) but the sorrounding area is dangerous to go around during nighttime as many drunk guys all around and nearby. Room is small and not well maintain. more

New Hotel Select looks a lot better on the web than it does in reality. The rooms were not ready for check in, and they were filthy... with flies. YIKES! Thankfully a very nice floor maid cleaned my room first to accomodate my needs, and was probably the nicest staff member on site. The room itself was in desperate need... more

We arrived at 11.30pm and received a stale and grumpy welcome by the night reception. The hotel lift was out of order so we walked up the four flights of steps with rather dark and dingy corridors. The ceiling of the shower cubicle was mouldy and there was not a shower curtain. However, there was eveidence improvements being made during... more

We made a reservation a couple of months prior to arriving in Marseille, however after reading reviews we were slightly wary of the place. Also a question mark over the fact that my credit card was cloned and used in France shortly after making the booking - could be a coincidence but odd as I had not been to France... more

I have just returned from a two night city break to Marseille where I have to say I had a marvellous time and was pleased to find that all the awful rumours about the city being a crime riddled, grimy concrete dive were (in my experience) completely untrue and unfair. We stayed at this hotel despite reading some very mixed... more

The thought of Marseille was brilliant but in reality I would not reccomend going to this City to my worst enemy. It is a sprawling metropolis of crime, concrete and cars. The hotel was meant to be a good value stop over for two nights. In reality it was little more than very poor student accomodation with dark corridors, a... more

I arrived late due to a late flight. The staff were friendly and were expecting me. Even though the lift was compact the room more than made up for it. It was clean and light, with all lamps working. Breakfast consisted of coffee, different cheeses, fruit and crossants, buffet style. conviniently situated between the train station and the Vieux port,... more

Gruff receptionist who was too busy doing nothing to make me feel welcome, dark dingy corridors, with “trip hazard” stairs. Dirty, stained floors, cracked bathroom furniture, no no-smoking rooms available and one coat hanger in a metal “wardrobe”. Bed reasonable, but didn’t want to take my socks off for the dirty floors. Quite a noisy, street corner location, and even... more
