Frommer's "Marseille's first five-star hotel is a glistening, modern palace standing above the embankments of the old port." Full review
Concierge "A superbly located four-star on the harbor (though, despite the name, not really within the Vieux Port), the Sofitel exudes all the charm for which cement-block chain properties are famous."
Jetsetter "Marseille’s hottest address, with unrivaled views of the city, lavish guestrooms and an award-winning breakfast." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "In the historic center of Marseille, "the Sofitel is a beautiful oasis in an old city"—within walking distance of Notre-Dame de la Garde and the old port." Full review
Star Service "This remains the most stylish and steadfast service-oriented hotel on the second tier. It is known as a standout commercial address, a reputation it works hard to preserve." Full review

Concierge "A far more modest inn than most of those listed here, the Alizé has something none of the others do: the most envious location in town."

Make sure to book a sea-facing room since the focus of this basic hotel is the views.
Fodor's "This straightforward lodging has been modernized to include tight double-pane windows, slick modular baths, and a laminate-and-all-weather carpeted look."
Rough Guide "Comfortable, attractive two-star hotel on the Vieux Port. Public areas are a little gloomy but rooms are modern, soundproofed and a/c; the more expensive ones look out onto the Vieux Port."
Lonely Planet "The Alizé has ringside views of the Vieux Port's carnival atmosphere and across up to the Basilique Notre Dame de la Garde."
