- The staff was lovely - Great view - Great amenities, Hermes toiletries never disappoint - The room service was not worthy of a 5 star establishment, the food was beyond average. We ordered 2 club sandwiches which were simply terrible - Bathrobes and slippers were not worthy of a 5 star hotel - We tend to stay in Park Hyatts or Peninsulas when we can, and this stay definitely did not entice us to switch chains going forward, Accor need to significantly step up their game with their 5 star offering

Overall a satisfying stay at a very nicely located hotel. Room was spacious but I felt a bit dated. The windows are very old and dirty. The breakfast on terrace was great and spectacular views - what I didn’t appreciate was there was no valuation of being a Platinum card holder, zero. I had to ask for drink voucher.

The maintenance of the room was not as expected. The toilet door was not closing and the toilet brush was broken into peaces. A McDonald's bag filled with rubbish remained from the evening to mid-day in the common areas.

Old hotel, bad service, no equipment, information, amenities, no drinks within minibar, no room service after 11pm (5 star hotel), no ironing board and iron, no information of where to call or how to reach anyone within the room. No documents or professionalism. Very poor experience unfortunately for a Sofitel.

L. J. Couples - 03/03/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

The room, the bed, everything was perfect. The service at the breakfast was very poor...the staff forgot to offer us hot drinks and eggs. And we had to ask twice to get served...The very same staff cleaned our table as soon as we were going back to the buffet so could not finish our teas and juices...unbelievable... This would not happen in Sofitel St James London... Very disappointing experience!

roberta909 Business - 21/01/2020 TripAdvisor review

I think this restaurant is one of the best in Marseille. The food is absolutely delicious . the flavours were intersting and original. The service was extremely professional. I would personally like to thank Anthony who looked after us exceptionally. He is a great asset to the Sofitel and looked after us in every detail. We will definitely return and do not understnad this restaurant does not have a michelin star.

stuck in the European past

TripAdvisor rating 3.0/5

janH02 Family - 30/12/2019 TripAdvisor review

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.

Disappointing for a Sofitel

TripAdvisor rating 3.0/5

johnm986 Couples - 26/07/2019 TripAdvisor review

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')

Dear JohnM, First of all, thank you for taking the time to share with us you experience at Sofitel Marseille Vieux Port. We are very sorry to read about your experience with us and find out we did not answer to all of your needs. Your feedback is very important to us and gives us the opportunity to become better. Please rest assured that your comment has been shared within our team and we are taking all the measures necessary to improve the points mentionned. We hope that it did not affect your entire stay and that you will have another opportunity to stay with us again in the future, in order to offer you a better experience.

MARSEILLES FABULOUS VIEW

TripAdvisor rating 5.0/5

Mary W Couples - 18/05/2019 TripAdvisor review

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.

Dear Mary W, Many thanks for this wonderful comment about our hotel. We are more than happy to hear that you had a great time with us and that we have fulfilled most of your expectations. Your satisfaction is by far our main priority and we are glad to have achieved it with you. We hope to have another opportunity to welcome you again soon in Marseille, Best regards,

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.

very pleasant stay for a short week-end

TripAdvisor rating 4.0/5

cowboy83110 Couples - 01/08/2018 TripAdvisor review

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.
