B&B Hôtel Marseille Prado Vélodrome

Choosing this hotel belongs to the best variants for your stays in Marseille. And this is not only because its location next to the stadium. In fact, the hotel can be easily reached by metro from the city center. The hotel is located in the 8th arrondissement of Marseille, which belongs to the most wealth areas of the city. One of the most enjoyable feature of this arrondissement is its location that is between Calanques National Park in the south and Château and Parc Borély in the west. The hotel can be found in 5-min walking from the station M2 'Rond-Point du Prado'. In some rooms windows look over south-west that one can catch from time to time very picturesque sunsets and views on Big Wheel Marseille and Parc Borély. Boulevard Michelet is known to be a lively wide street in Marseille. Obviously, this street never sleeps. Fortunately, air conditioning worked efficiently. The room was clean, and the table was enough to work. Breakfasts were perfectly satisfactory. Hotel staff is very friendly and speaks many languages. Surely, having at least few free hours in Marseille in summer and early autumn and not to go to swim is almost a crime. The hotels staff gave me a comprehensive info on the popular but with less crowds and peaceful places among the calanques which can be reached in 30-40 min by bus. Note, not all the calanques in the city environs are really safe. That's why consulting with the hotel staff may be needed before your journey there.

The price in some weeks is really very high, however, all the other virtues outweigh it.
