Helpful staff and the hotel was well insulated from the noise.

Première Classe Marseille Centre Ville, Marseille - Reviews & Ratings"Great value for money for the room and breakfast in central Marseille. A bit of work done on the general cosmetic appearance of the rooms would improve the ambience a lot. Staff were efficient and helpful at check in and check out." (97389735)
Pricing of the room and the high quality breakfast. Secure car parking. Comfortable bed and clean bedding.
Internal piping, covered in fleece,in the corner of the room made it look shabby. Decor was also a bit grubby looking.

Première Classe Marseille Centre Ville, Marseille - Reviews & Ratings"What I said above. The accomodation was very basic compared to the price level. Marseille, or France in general, seem to be on the expensive side when it comes to food and accomodation. I live in Sweden, so that shouldn't be a surprise, but still it was." (99806309)
good location, very basic but acceptable for a short stay, good and helpful staff available 24 hrs
austere room, unfitted noisy door and window

Première Classe Marseille Centre Ville, Marseille - Reviews & Ratings"If you are looking for a budget hotel with basic facility and in the centre of Marseille and you don't mind dirty street and noisy enviroment, then it's good for you." (99140820)
This hotel is quite basic but at a good location. The size of room is fine and the rate is attractive.
There's no air condition. If you open the window at night, it's too noisy. The street is dirty although it's not the hotel's fault.

Première Classe Marseille Centre Ville, Marseille - Reviews & Ratings"IT WAS GOOD VALUE. I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO KNOW IF YOU COULD HIRE A FAN." (99969582)
THE ROOMS WERE BASIC BUT SPOTLESSLY CLEAN. THE RECEPTION STAFF WERE VERY FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL. THERE WERE TEA AND COFFEE FACILITIES IN THE LOBBY. IT WAS WELL POSITIONED FOR METRO AND ALSO THE MAIN SHOPPING STREETS AND SEAFOOD RESTAURANTS.
IT IS NOISY OUTSIDE BECAUSE YOU ARE IN THE HEART OF THE CITY. BECAUSE IT WAS TOO WARM WE HAD TO LEAVE THE WINDOW OPEN WHICH MADE IT SEEM MORE NOISY.

The room looked clean and had a bathroom with bath and toilet. Sheets and towels looked clean too. The staff were always very polite.
No wardrobe. No fridge either. The room was small and extremely bland. Pale walls (not exactly white) and dark green doors. The bed was slightly smaller than a standard double. Bath towels were a bit small.

It was definitely value for money and the location in Marseille itself was excellent - central but quiet at night, and the fact that the reception was manned 24/7 was a definite bonus.
The road it is on is so small, it's not on the tourist map. The directions were from the vieux port, and I got sent on a bit of a round trip trying to find it.

There were no bad points as such - maybe the sweat breakfast is not sufficient for people who are not used to eat it
