Location and Transport

Hotel Marseille Centre Gare Saint-Charles is located in Saint-Charles, the main train station of Marseille. The hotel offers easy access to metro and bus services, as well as local and TGV trains. It is a 10-minute walk from the Vieux Port in Marseille's city centre. The gleaming Les Terrasses du Port shopping centre is a short walk away, as is the MuCEM history museum at the port entrance. Saint-Charles Metro provides direct access to Parc Chanot and the city centre. Marseille Provence Airport (MRS) is a 25-minute drive via public shuttle. The hotel is also within easy reach of port cruise ship terminals.

Services and Conveniences

Holiday Inn Express Marseille-Saint Charles has two air-conditioned meeting rooms, ideal for hosting up to 37 guests. There is a business center and two computers available for guest use in the lobby 24 hours a day. A snack bar/deli serves guests. Other services include daily housekeeping, a messenger service, and wake-up calls. Private parking is available with direct access to the hotel for a fee. Check-in is from 3:00 PM, and late check-out is available.

“Location is undeniably a key advantage, directly across from the main train station, and this, in my opinion, streamlines access significantly. While the city center may require a short walk or a quick ride, the hotel itself balances convenience with well-maintained, soundproofed rooms. Expect a practical, strategically positioned base for exploring Marseille.”
