We should not have booked a hotel near the train station. We felt unsafe in the alleyways and streets around the hotel. There are no French restaurants in the area because the restaurants reflect the diversity of people who migrated to Marseilles.

Convenient location, fresh decor, good sound insulation, good buffet breakfast. Being handy for a mainline station, however, brings the usual issues these places attract: vagrants and dodgy characters, but the hotel itself is excellent value.
