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.

The room was very nice, but small. The staff was excellent!
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!
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.

Great service and so clean. They surprise us all the time.
Excellent service at the rooftop bar from Breno. Thank you very much for making us feel welcome and your cocktail recommendations.
We had delicious breakfasts each morning, and Nour was very friendly and attentive. We cannot wait to come back
Property located near old harbor and in between old harbor and the Catalan beach , old port fun to visit lots of shops and restaurants for bouillabaisse. The Catalan beach on the other end great public beach and view points from the Pharo palace
Cruise terminal 20 min by taxi
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

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.

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 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.
