ibis Marseille Timone

The three room categories each measure 12 m² and accommodate up to two people. You can choose between a Standard Double Room, a Standard Twin Room and a Superior Double Room. The first two differ in their bedding: one double bed or two single beds. The Superior Double Room has a double bed and adds a coffee machine, setting it apart from the two standard categories.

All rooms overlook the city and have air conditioning, a private bathroom with a shower and a flat-screen TV. Soundproofing and parquet flooring are also among the facilities. Rooms include a desk and a safe. The bathrooms are equipped with a hairdryer. These layouts suit both solo travellers and two people, with a choice of a double bed or separate beds.

The hotel has several spaces for meals and relaxation. The restaurant provides a setting for dinner, while the bar and snack bar serve snacks. Children's menus and menus for special diets are available on request; a selection of wine and champagne rounds out the food and drink options. A terrace and a sun terrace offer outdoor seating when the weather allows.

The reception is open 24 hours a day, and the hotel offers luggage storage as well as express check-in and check-out. Guests have free Wi-Fi throughout the hotel, air conditioning and a flat-screen TV. Private indoor parking is available on site for €16 per day, with spaces accessible to guests with reduced mobility. The property also has accessibility features, including a lowered sink, raised toilet and grab rails. Pets are allowed, possibly at an additional charge.

Marseille stretches between the Mediterranean and the hills, with an old centre facing the Vieux-Port and residential districts with varied atmospheres. The hotel is in the La Timone area of the 5th arrondissement, near the large hospital and university complex. The district is a practical choice if you are visiting Marseille for a medical appointment, your studies or a city break, while still wanting to reach the centre by public transport.

La Timone metro station is 90 m away, and Line 1 serves several central areas. Palais Longchamp, with its palace, museums and park, is 1.4 km away; the Museum of Natural History there has collections devoted to the natural world. Marseille-Saint-Charles station is 2 km away. For a walk by the water, the Prado beaches are 4 km away; the Vieux-Port and its quays offer another glimpse of maritime life and the historic centre.

Marseille can be visited all year round. In spring and autumn, temperatures are often pleasant for exploring the streets, museums and quays on foot. In summer, plan outdoor walks for the cooler hours and leave time for the coast. You can spend a day discovering Palais Longchamp, taking the metro towards the centre and ending the afternoon by the sea. The metro and tram network makes it easy to get around the city, while a car is useful for exploring the calanques and surrounding area.
