Location is convenient, literally opposite the train station, but area filled with drug dealers and beggers. Rooms open directly on to the loud courtyard/reception instead of corridors, and you're not allowed to take keys out, so the the doorbell rang all night, so difficult to sleep. Lockers require particular chunky padlocks instead of travel locks. The receptionist gave a good introductory speech but failed to mention the checkout time. Wifi worked half the time. Would not stay again.

The hostel has reasonable prices. Breakfast for 5 euros was all you can eat. Showers were clean. Beds were clean. Fans were there to keep cool. Great wifi.

Good for a hostel. Right across the street from the train station. The area isn't the best, but once you get away from the train station it isn't too bad. The bathrooms were clean and showers had good water pressure and plenty of hot water. Breakfast is 5 euros. Drinks are for sale at the bar. Smoke sometimes drifts into the bedrooms and common area which can be annoying. No major complaints.

Interesting place to stay if you plan to be in the city for a short time. Probably the cheapest place to stay in Marseille. Really close to the train station and it has a 24 hours reception.

Its a good hostel... clean, small rooms but as a hostel thats the rule. Only bad thing is we have to buy drinks at the hostel... not allowed to bring our own drinks in here

Nice employees and relaxing and social atmosphere. Good location. No curfew. Big bedrooms and a bit hot but totally ok. Recommended. :)

Very relaxed hostel. No bullshit. The neighborhood is not the best but it is very close to the station, which is handy. Clean, quite, alright!

At Vertigo Hostel I felt safe. I arrived early in the morning to Saint Charles (the nearest train station). Rooms aren't available until the afternoon. The room (mixed shared dorm) is large housing a pair of bunk bed. Lots fresh air allowed through big windows however had minor shower malfunctions. Good place to recoup. Good place for socialising with fellow travellers as well. Different tarrifs available.

Tiny room with severely uncomfortable bed. Only 1 wall plug in for a 4 bedroom dorm. Wifi would hardly work in the rooms. Staff were unpleasant. Strict on bringing outside alcohol into the hostel to force you to buy it from their bar at their prices. Sketchy area with poor security - anyone can ask for anyone's key in the lobby and be given it. Would not recommend this hostel, nor the city.
