The hotel has a splendid location, but if you are not European and have electronic equipment, beware. Our suite had a nice desk, but both electric sockets for the desk were occupied by lamp and phone, so there was nowhere to plug in a laptop. One could plug into a wall socket 8 m away to use at a table, but that required the cord to stretch dangerously across the floor. All electric sockets are for only European plugs. there is no USB connection to charge a cell phone. There is no phone in the bathroom. One needs to log into the Wifi fresh each time - it does not stay connected even for a day, let alone a stay.

Everything was perfect, the room, the staff, the breakfast, the view from the rooftop.... All you can expect from a Sofitel can be provided by the Vieux port hôtel. It will be our choice of destination if we come back again to Marseille.

Stayed here in a nice terrace room for the Bastille day weekend, the room phone did not work and could not be fixed over the weekend, the communications regarding the weekend travel disruption were extremely poor and access to the pool (owned by the Novotel) was blocked necessitating a journey via the basement, the road, and car park to get there.the attitude to these problems was dismissive for a hotel of this price (the concierge said, 'we are not 5 star only 4 star')

My husband and I stayed at the Sofitel Marseille Vieux-Port for two nights from the 13th to 15th May. We had an fabulous stay at the hotel. The service from out arrival, check in and check out was faultless. Our large room had a terrace which looked directly toward the Marseille Port, which is stunning. An excellent breakfast was served on the 7th floor which has a spectacular view of the Port area this included the cruise liner and ferry area.. We ate at the restaurant on the 3rd floor next to the lobby and again enjoyed wonderful views. The food was delicious and the service very professional. We were also lucky with the weather, sunshine and blue skies. It was an all together perfect stay. If we were to visit Marseille again in the future this would be our first choice of hotel to stay.

Returned with friends this time and had enjoyable stay. Only criticism was the disorganised and unfriendly staff in Dante’s who overcharged us. Thanks to reception this was corrected. Also wish to complement the lady concierge who sorted out the taxi issue so humorously.

We were offered 2 days holiday by our son & it was very pleasant - unfortunately we had chosen to have a balcony which we did not use - far too hot & too many mosquitos !! One small comment - for the toast - it would be useful to have bamboo tongs to extract the toast from the toaster.

Superb stay, the view on the port is really nice. The staff is nice and welcoming and will strive to meet all your requests. A lot of very nice personal attentions throughout the whole stay which made it very enjoyable. The restaurant is great, food and wine were really nice. The room itself was super spacious, and as usual, the bed is so comfy you would not want to leave it. All in all, a super relaxing stay, would definitely come back

Marvellous location with wonderful views of Vieux Port and Marseille. Fantastic views from our room terrace overlooking the harbour. A very comfortable and relaxing hotel with very attentive and friendly staff.

The hotel was very nice, but it could have been a lot better. The A/C in the hotel lobby was poor. I started to sweat every time I spent more than a few minutes there. The room was okay, but there was no storage at all. Maybe that's okay for a solo business traveler who is staying one night and living out of his suitcase, but it was totally inadequate for a couple there for a few nights. The bathroom especially could have benefited from a shelf under the sink on which to store one's toiletries. And would it have hurt to have a dresser in the room with a few drawers? As usual the hotel eating options were very expensive. On the plus side, the concierges were very helpful in telling us how to get around and in directing us to terrific, non-touristy restaurants. The views of the harbor from the hotel were beautiful. Weirdly, the Sofitel is intertwined with a Novotel and share some amenities, namely the swimming pool, which was lovely.

Fine, except that you can hardly get anything to eat in the restaurant in the afternoon apart from a cheeseboard and maybe some crude ham and French fries ... a better selection of sandwiches would be more becomingly to a 5 star hotel ..

We stayed in the hotel for three nights. Checkin was quick and flawless, the room was very comfortable and had a fantastic view of the Port. The welcome drink for me and my wife in the Dantes Lounge was most welcome after the train journey from Barcelona. The view from the lounge at night was breathtaking. The room was large and comfortable with a large terrace facing the Port. Could easily have stayed here for a couple of weeks. The only downside was the lack of USB ports in the room and haphazard service during breakfast on our last day.

Beautiful hotel. Great location. Easy walk to port. Quick uber anywhere. Could use a more casual bar area or coffee station. Bedroom was immaculate with great large multi function shower. Spa pool was great.

We only had one day in the hotel. Could only check in at 4 p.m. Decided to spend our time at the pool waiting for our room. The pool was awful. Very crowded very dirty water and faeces floating near the surface! No attendant on duty. One arrived about two hors after our arrival to remove the human excrement and then proceeded to pour in copious quantities of chlorine powder. The pool was unusable for another two hours after treatment. Filter not working properly as water was cloudy. All in all not a pleasant experience. For the rest the hotel was average. Five star prices, thee star quality.

We had a very good experience my partner lost her expensive sunglasses in the hotel the staff found them and she got them back. Happy! A very good location with a splendid view. Nice restaurant and a very friendly staff. What do you want more?

Our family stayed in the hotel for five nights. We had a room with a nice balcony. The view from our room as well as from the restaurant was very beautiful. You could see the harbour and the city. I would say that it must be one the best ones in Marseille. Our room was ok, but you could expect more in a luxury hotel. It was ok, but nothing special. There is a restaurant/bar right next to the hotel. It was a bit disturbing that the music coming from the restaurant was very loud every night except one. If I had known this, I might have chosen a different hotel. The cleaning ladies did their job but almost everytime we found some trash in our room after they had left. Otherwise the staff was friendly and helpful.
