The location was great and the staff were friendly. However, the room was very dirty: the towels were stained, the toilet wasn't cleaned, the bathroom sink was clogged, and the floor hadn't been swept. My friend's room, who traveled with me, was exactly the same

This hotel has a lovely view of the old port as it is located down one of the sides. This location also means that it's quieter at night. The staff were very professional and courteous. The room was a good size; I enjoyed the balcony.

We had an amazing view of the port from our room. It was a decent walk to the dining and shopping area. Everyone at the hotel was extremely nice and helpful. Only one little complaint was the water during our shower was a bit inconsistent-extremely hot back to normal. Overall ,we had a great stay.

6/10 Good

It was a pretty hotel with lovely views. The staff attention to detail sometimes fell short...inroom coffee pods were for a different brand of machine and did not work, cleaning staff disposed of something of ours that was not garbage, there was a weird spray of some substance on the interior of the bathroom door during our whole stay. Vegetarian options at the restaurant were slim - the day we went, the veg option was an onion. It tasted very good but having an onion for dinner is disappointing. There was no way to order breakfast items a la carte, so we went elsewhere. The bar and bar food were good though.

Sofitel is now overrated! The view was superb, but the hotel is so old, e.g. the shower was leaking all night making drop sound making impossible to sleep. It was smelling the wet dog in the room and the room looked like we were in the 80s...not impressed. The only memorable was the stunning view but that has nothing to do with the hotel!

An amazing hotel, the only issue was the noise coming from parties outside that went on to about midnight both nights we were there. The windows could be more sound proof. Everything else was amazing, the staff, the food, the location all 10/10.

The beds are amazing but the “upgrade” they sold us was to a very noisy side of the hotel. We didn’t sleep - it was loud until 5am

8/10 Very good

Not really a 5 star hotel. The main restaurant was fully booked the first night we were there and closed the next two nights. The bar menu was good, but not available on one night. One of our rooms experienced a flood in the shower where the drain was clogged with an incredible amount of hair. Water actually leaked into the next room. No bellman, and lack of expected 5 star service. Other than that, the rooms were comfortable and the location was good.

8/10 Very good

The reason I didn't rate it high in cleanliness, The pool and the spa definitely need work. There were tiles missing in the spa. I don't think all of the Jets were working. It definitely doesn't look like the spot on the web page. And the outdoor pool had slime all around the water line. I didn't go in because it didn't look like they clean it on a regular basis. In my room the skirt to the bed had spots on it, but the actual bed and sheets were perfectly clean. The bathroom seemed very clean and the towels were amazing!! I was unaware of a deposit required for each night even though I had paid for my room in full. So that was a bit of a surprise and I'm still waiting for the refund on that. The breakfasts were delicious. And the portions for room service are huge!! The food was really good. I had a view of the port with my own terrace. The terrace had two lounge chairs and room for a breakfast table and chairs. That was a nice plus! Overall, it was a really fantastic experience. There was a gentleman that helped me with dinner reservations. Unfortunately, I don't remember his name but he was very helpful and kind and his reservation recommendation was spot on. Thank you

We had a wonderful stay at the Sofitel Marseille. The hotel's location is both practical and spectacular, offering breathtaking views over the Old Port and the Mediterranean while being just a short walk from the city's main attractions. The room was spacious, quiet, and extremely comfortable, making it easy to relax after a day of exploring. One of the highlights of our stay was the breakfast, which offered an excellent selection of fresh, high-quality products in a beautiful setting overlooking the harbor. What truly made the experience stand out was the exceptional customer service. Every member of the staff was welcoming, attentive, and genuinely committed to making our stay enjoyable. A fantastic hotel that combines stunning views, outstanding comfort, an excellent breakfast, and first-class hospitality. We would gladly stay here again.

An excellent hotel. The room was spacious, spotless and comfortable. The staff were helpful and accommodating offering assistance with making restaurant reservations. The breakfast buffet offered a wide selection of cold options and made to order eggs. The warm pain au chocolat was a highlight. The view from the restaurant (where breakfast was served) was brilliant. The spa was lovely and the massages we had were lovely.
