Disappointed unfortunately photos of bath and views were not what was provided. Found they were added as part of the room to book but unfortunately if you dig deeper baths are shown on all rooms. Found it misleading and being an anniversary gift would have done something else if that was a case. Liked the sofitel in general just a poor experience maybe fault of my own

The trainee receptionist wasn't welcoming, gave me a piece of paper without explanining anything but asked me to sign. She dropped a pen in front of me rather than handed in to me. Rather felt she threw the pen to me. I wasnt allowed to access the pool while waiting for our room to be ready which was very disappointing as i believe most hotels let their guests use the facilities while waiting for the room if im not wrong. This is my second time staying here. I knew this hotel wasnt my favourite from my first visit but i thought i would just try again and here i am, I made a mistake.

設備やサービス、お料理の味、全てが完璧でした。 これだけのグレードのホテルなのにシャワールームのみでバスタブがないのは、日本人の私には意外だったかな。 4階にあるプールは最高のロケーションです。 今回、ハーバー側のお部屋を取りましたが、現在ホテル前にレジデンスを建築中のようです。 大きなクレーンが何本か立っていて景観的にちょっと残念でした。 目前の建物が何階になるかで今後の景観が変わりそうです。
