The Sofitel is a very well turned out hotel in an excellent location for exploting Marseille. Our room was overlooking the old port (do ask for this if you book). The facilities are decent (gym, pool, spa, etc) though it was lacking something which would be required to make it a 5 rating. It is quite pricey and whilst excellent,... More

i do not normally stay in chain hotels but my secretary booked me in here. i was more than delighfuly surprised. enchanted. no sense of the same-ness that such chains provide. probably the best hotel in provence. More

This is a magnificent, modern hotel overlooking Vieux Port of Marseille. The rooms are great and fully equipped, but a touch on the small side. There are rooms with individual terraces overlooking the old harbor. The terraces are very large, full of sunshine, and just magnificent.

We stayed at the Sofitel for 4 nights and it was the highlight accommodation of our trip.

The staff upon arrival were more than happy to speak English. We stayed in a harbor view... More

I have a continual problem with... More

Pros - good location in the heart of Marseille - friendly staff - beautiful breakfast/dinner restaurant on top of the hotel, with a view - free wifi ! Cons - bland rooms, nothing particular - standard/basic rooms enjoy no particular view More

Entering the hotel was a good experience, with attentive staff greeting and offering to take care of your luggage, this despite myself in very casual clothes. Similar experience at the check in, which was quite fast and efficient, though as typical with prepaid rates, some confusion which though was resolved quickly. Was upgraded to a room with harbour view, so... More
