Toyoko INN Marseille Saint Charles

I had a great stay at this Japanese-style hotel in Marseille. The room and beds were very clean, and the bathroom was also well-maintained. The overall ambiance made me feel like I was in Japan, which was a unique and pleasant experience. Our room had a fantastic view of Notre-Dame de la Garde and Porte d'Aix, which made our stay even more special. Having breakfast included was a great plus, and the hotel's location was excellent—within walking distance of both the train station and the city center. Additionally, the staff were very accommodating, allowing us to store our luggage for a long time before check-in.

Checkin, staff welcoming were 5 stars. All were so friendly. Location was amazing, just next to the train station which was ideal for us. We didnt get to enjoy it as much as we would have, due to delays of plane and long queues at the taxi.

I stayed for one night, and have a very good impression. The hotel is clean, has per my view quite a pleasant interior. Elevators work fine, on the first floor need to touch the card reader with the room key card to call an elevator. My room was nice, clean, well ventilated. Bathroom equipment worked fine. I found no traveller kit (small toothbrush, soap, toothpaste etc) take care to have some with you, as i usually do. Neither my room had a wardrobe, only a hanger on the wall, may be that depends on the room. Anyway not a problem from my perspective. Never saw before the bathroom made of plactic, but it proved to make no issue at all, i got used in a moment. Specially, i need to say that the staff is professional and very friendly. All my requests were treated with attention, I got all the explanations needed, so the personnel is a remarkable point. Breakfast includes toasts with ham, cheese, mermelade, coffee and juices. For dinner and so on there are quite a lot of cafes/restaurants and on the reception they have a list of such, besides i found (on the other side of the train station, named Ashourya, on Bd National, 3) a great Syrian restaurant, delicios splendid meal for only 31 euros. Hereby i may say, that if i'm to visit the city once more i inclined to choose the Hotel again.

The room was very nice, quite spacious. I had a view of the Basilica of Notre Dame of la Garde from my window. There was a bidet in the bathroom which was useful. The room was quite clean, the hotel was quite nice. AC worked fine. The location of the hotel was not far away from the main train station which was quite useful when I arrived.

It's a great value for the money, good location close to the train station and walking distance to everything you want to see. It's a Japanese hotel, so the bathroom is Japanese style which was fun for me. It had the infamous Japanese toilet, and a sink faucet that was the same for the bathtub. But also for the same reason of being Japanese, the room is minimalistic, but very well thought out and had everything one needs for a short stay. I won't say it's a good option for a longer vacation, but a short stay of a few nights when you spend most time out and about is perfect. The breakfast is very basic, and it gets crowded, but it's free! The hotel is large and very busy, which I think is a good thing - it's popular. The room has a mini-fridge which is rare and very helpful. The room also has a kettle, which is great. The bed and the bedding was really good quality. Towels could be better, but they were adequate. I loved it! And I came back and stayed three times!
