We absolutely loved staying here. Arrived much earlier before our check in time. We were grateful our room was ready. Checking in and out was a breeze. Every one so friendly and accommodating. Our room was spectacular, inviting and very comfortable. The infinity pool was a bonus and the view in the evening overlooking the city while swimming was a step above. We would love to stay here again God willing. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Husband and I really enjoyed our stay. Sofitel is our favourite spot as it is where we had our Honeymoon 5 years ago and where we plan to celebrate our 10 year anniversary. The only issue we had this trip was that we had to wait for over an hour past normal check in time (after 4pm) for the room to be ready, and even then I had to try and approach multiple staff member before we were told that the room was actually ready. We were pretty disappointed by this as we only had the one childless night before having to return home and to have to spend over an hour of it sitting in the lobby was not ideal.

Great hotel with great ammenities. Check in was underwhelming with no acknowledgement of Accor membership. Check in staff provided me with one room key only. Expected a higher level of service at check in for a hotel of this standard. Glad I didn’t pay the normal full standard rate

For the price you’re paying I would look elsewhere, self check in was down so it took 45 minutes to check in as there were only 2 staff members serving (on a long weekend) had to wait 20 minutes for an elevator constantly and my breakfast would’ve never came if I hadn’t called an hour later. It is a clean hotel and great in terms of location but service not the best. A lot of the amenities in the room were also missing and had to place calls for alot of things (took 45 minutes ).
