Urban Loft Marseille

Urban loft is ideally located across from the main train station, which is perfect if you intend on travelling by train in France. The area may not seem all that safe but just have your wits about you. Check in is at the Alex Hotel next door and if you have heavy luggage or too much, there are no lifts so you may want to reconsider as the stairs are narrow and steep. A small supermarket is close by and a bakery who sold fresh baguettes, rolls and yummy cakes. Apartment is modern and spacious but the kitchen lacked your usual needs like kitchen knives. We chose an apartment to allow us to make quick meals for our kids but there were no kitchen knives and some other kitchen basics. Bathroom is spacious as we have found bathrooms in Europe small so this was a nice feature. Overall a nice apartment but due to the stairs, we are unlikely to stay here again.

Location wise very accessible from Gare St Charles, just across the station and walk further downhill. Confusing as to where you will check in and get your key. Until we asked ALEX Hotel which was beside Urban Loft. This is where you Will check in. Our loft unit is located on the 3rd floor. Not advisable for people on their Senior years, or PWD or having large luggages, there is NO elevator and you have to bring it up yourself using a spiral stairs (50+ steps). Very exhausting going UP and down. Room wise, Space was fairly big compared to other Europeans hotels which is just a quarter size of the unit. Complete kitchen which is a plus. Complete toiletries and towels and linens. You Will be charge for City taxes and cleaning Service which cost approximately, 10+ Euro per night. Since, Gare St Charles is just across , it was very easy if you want use the Metro and also Airport buses.

Great location especially coming in on the train. And quiet too. Super staff - knowledgeable and friendly.
