We spent 4 nights at this hotel- excellent location along the coast just outside the main city area with good frequent bus services into town. The reception and all staff were polite and friendly, the room was well equipped, very comfortable and with a balcony right on the sea. The pool is very large with a good-sized lounging area and... more

After being booked into one of the worst hotels I have ever seen, my husband's travel department found this hotel for us. I loved everything about it. It is modern but not stuffy. The staff was extremely pleasant and spoke English well. They were professional but friendly. The rooms were not large but they were clean, beautifully decorated. The bed... more

I'm surprised to see this hotel getting such good reviews. For a four star hotel costing around £200 a night I think it is somewhat overpriced. To add insult to injury, the €25 for breakfast was a bit much. One morning I breakfasted at 7.00 (it opens at 6.30) and there was no hot food (the dishes were there but... more

We just stayed for 4 days on a family vacation at the Pullman to explore Marseille, Cassis and the Calanques, and the Hinterland. We love the location of the hotel (if you have a car...) - not even 10 min from the Vieux Port and the historic centre of Marseilles. The hotel is located below the 4-lane coastal road, so... more

I wouldn't generally choose to stay in a modern chain hotel but casting that aside (I didn't make the booking!), I have to say that the setting of this hotel is spectacular. The reception area on the 3rd floor offers the most stunning view of the sea - I wish the bar or restaurant were on this level (they are... more

The views were unbeatable and the bed and pillows were so luxuriously soft. In addition, the staff were very helpful. We were robbed in Marseille (having gotten lost in a bad part of town) before we got to the hotel. The concierge helped me get an international operator and allowed me call the states on the phone in the lobby.... more

I found the Sofitel Palm Beach to be an excellent location. It is a very elegant hotel, and the food is world class. The sea views are outstanding, and the rooms themselves are very spacious, well designed, and user-friendly. The only almost bad experience was on check-in. I had reserved a sea view room for 2 evenings. Upon check-in, I... more

Stayed at the hotel for only 1 night last July and found it excellent. Public areas are very well designed and airy with Starkt-ype furniture and the hotel blends perfectly with its enviroment. Rooms, though not very spacious, are nicely decorated and offer spectacular views over the Prado Bay. Staff is efficient. Having stayed earlier at Marseille the same month,... more

I can't help feeling other reviewers have seen this place through rose-tinted spectacles. Yes, this is a pleasant modern hotel, where the stand-out attraction is the friendly staff. And, yes, it has a pleasant location by the sea. But it's far from the Vieux Port (which is the focal point of the city), and you need to take a cab... more
