Staff & service were exceptional. So convenient to get to Central train station - look for the doors to Sofitel from within the station (don't go around the block like Google & Apple maps suggest). Showerhead in bathroom needs to be updated but it works. Shower tap handle also could be updated - very difficult to use and get temperature right.

Great Location But Not Much Else

This hotel is in a great location, super convenient to travel to and from the airport but the hotel feels very overdue for upgrading. The carpet in the room is dark and depressing, the cabinets are weathered and dated looking as is the bathroom. The shower tub combination is a disaster waiting to happening. The hallways have a damp odour that is made worse by the carpet deodorant or whatever they use in the hallways, it takes your breathe away in a not good way. This hotel isn’t a 5 star property in my opinion, 3.5 maybe but not more than that. The staff were friendly and helpful for sure and I will give the breakfast spread an excellent review as well but overall I was disappointed by the aesthetics of this property.

Excellent location with easy access to the train station. Beautifully presented, stylish decor. As someone who worked in hotels it was lovely to find a hotel with true 5 star service, all the staff were friendly and helpful. Room service was the best we’ve had, the Buddha bowl was fresh and delicious, the burger tasty with crispy chips. The beds were so comfortable, we slept much later than we planned! Look forward to visiting again.

Really nice hotel, we were selected as guests of the day for our stay so got free breakfast and access to the upstairs club which had free liquor and snacks and a really high end vibe. Really made us feel special and saved us money! Had lots of great breakfast buffet options. Parking is onsite which is nice but a bit pricey. Location is near a shopping area and beautiful park however there were some street people around day and night which you felt bad for. The pool was also really nice, hot tub was ok. Would absolutely stay here again!

The disappointing feature was the buffet breakfasts. The staff on all the four occasions we had breakfast failed to routinely replenish the fresh cut fruit bowls and looked blankly when they were asked to do so and even then failed to replace several empty bowls. The array of breads were very limited and again weren't replenished. They didn't even bother to bring out any pastries on two days and fruit bread was only present on one day (one piece only which my wife and I shared!) I don't know whether it is a staffing or managerial issue, but it let down an otherwise pleasant stay. The buffet breakfasts are certainly not cheap, and clients should expect a better experience for their money. If we return to stay at the hotel, we will look elsewhere for breakfast. In all, extremely disappointing.
