Vitrolles Hotels with Breakfast

The hotel rooms are comfortable and clean. The breakfast is a buffet with many options. The staff are friendly and helpful. The reception staff member (Katia?) was particularly helpful finding a satisfactory solution to help me get to Marseille train station. The only downside to the hotel is its location as it is inaccessible by foot from the airport. If like me your flight is delayed and you arrive after midnight you miss the free hotel shuttle and you will need to take a taxi to the hotel. Arriving late also means that you will have difficulty booking a hotel shuttle place to the airport in the morning. So if possible make sure to book your place when you make your room reservation. The hotel is however within walking distance to the Vitrolles train station so that is a definite advantage if you need to take a train into the center of Marseille or to other cities in France.

Let's start with good things: - staff is nice - breakfast isn't bad - room is quite big To be improved: - shuttle service, frequency too low (once every 30 min or every hour). Other hotels near the airports offer shuttle on demand, ready within 5 minutes - staff not very flexible (they wouldn't offer you late check out if you have to wait one hour for the shuttle) - very basic equipment, they even use paper cups in the room, no proper glasses - they make you pay even to weigh your luggage (see picture) ~ that's a shame! Overall, it seems a bit like a low cost hotel

The hotel is everything but close to the airport if you go by foot, luckily they have a free vehicle service. There is no dinner available on the weekend, and there are literaly no shop around. They may have a pool, but the bathroom is moldy…
