Disappointed

TripAdvisor rating 3.0/5

michaeltS9530KL TripAdvisor review

We have stayed at the NY Sofitel many times pre Covid. This was the most disappointing visit. When our flight was delayed I called and notified the hotel of our late arrival. We had reserved a luxury room for four nights. The assigned room was small, I called the mgr and was told that it was the only room available and we could call back the next day at 2:30. The next day when I called the manager was"unavailable" I went dow n to the deskman a sympathetic agent changed our room. The room was better than the first but both rooms needed updating; scratched furniture,lumpy mattress, lack of adequate plugs for electronics. Overall a disappointing stay in a "luxury" hotel.

Suzie M TripAdvisor review

Not up to the usual standard that I expect from Sofitel. Comfortable bed, and rest of room ok apart from one of the drawers being wonky and the wardrobe door not fitting properly. Slightly annoying as it had to be fully closed to extinguish the internal light. Now, whether the rest of the fall in standard was due to Covid, I can’t tell as we had a very busy schedule and didn’t want to waste time complaining. The mini bar was decommissioned, no coffee making facility, no bottled water, bathroom amenities not restocked, had to ask for body lotion. Asked for some bottled water and told the Hotel had run out of it. The doorman who held his umbrella over himself rather than us when getting a cab might need to re-think that move. None of the Hotel’s dining areas were open, but even though I’d been advised that there was a limited room service for breakfast, there was nothing in the room to indicate this. There was also much vaunting of “enhanced cleanliness”. But I have no idea what was meant by this as I didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary. Not really what I’ve come to expect from Accor hotels.

Clean accommodations and friendly staff.

I was pleased with my accommodations at the Sofitel. The staff was very attentive and they had a clear COVID protocol, even providing hand sanitizer in the elevators. I was a bit disappointed after my long flight to NY that there was no restaurant open in the hotel and I didn't find any exercise equipment available. However, it was located in a prime location and I would go back because the bed was so comfy!

Dear Kathryn I., We very much appreciate your comments regarding your stay at the Sofitel New York. It is always a pleasure to receive positive feedback.

We are hopeful we will be able to open our Restaurant and Bar in the upcoming months! Thank you again for sharing your experience, and we hope your next visit will be as pleasant as the previous one. Sincerely,

Poor. I’ve stayed here many many times. The restaurant and bar were closed and room service closed at 2 pm. I would never have stayed had I known that prior to booking.

Great central location and off Broadway - remarkably quiet. Amazingly comfortable bed though rooms are very old and in need of a refresh. (An actual, archaic corded phone by the toilet?) Very clean and bathrooms are somewhat modern. Spacious. Biggest downfall was service and amenities - by far the greatest grievance was being told no, no coffee maker (and we won’t give you one for your stay), no, no ice - like, at all, and no room service after 2 pm on a Friday (what??!) meaning no ice for cocktails pre-show. No bar or restaurant but it is NYC - no lacking in the vicinity. Oh, and no bottled water in the rooms - c’mon. Hotel staff provided contradictory information; some pleasant, others downright rude. Very much used to the Fairmont experience - this was not close.

Great hotel with some issues

Bob M TripAdvisor review

I love this hotel and have stayed several times. It is beautiful, the rooms are great, and it is a wonderful location for theatre. There were some issues, however. The air conditioning was not working when we arrived. I brought this to the front desk before we left for dinner. When we returned, it was not fixed and I received no message. I reported again the next morning and when we returned later that day, it was corrected. In addition, the bill was incorrect with duplicate charges and an incorrect room charge which was almost $100 more than on my confirmation. Their system had created two reservations, cancelled one, and was charging more on the new reservation. After a bit of a go-around, it was corrected, but their system should be more efficient and correct. If you stay here, be sure to check your bill!

Good, nice room. But hotel had no breakfast restaurant, no room service during the day or evening and the room fridge was not working. Also, I forgot something in my room and have been trying to speak to the hotel for some days now unsuccessfully - there is only a recorded message on the phone, it is impossible to speak to a person and my various emails have not been responded.

The entire staff from the management to front desk , bell man , door men and both room service and housekeeping were incredible. My only dissatisfaction was the lack of food available. The restaurant and bar were closed and there was no food for room service. I realize we are still under COVID times and starting to fully reopen will happen . Hopefully sooner than later . This is a great hotel especially when fully operational . I will stay there as my hotel of choice when visiting NYC again !

Poor concierge

Customer review rating 3.5/5

Michelle L. Solo - Confirmed reviews ALL

During my recent stays, I have need for the use of the concierge. I believe the 44th St location in NY has two-a male and a female. The front desk was hesitant to give their names but did, however, I lost the slip of paper. During our stay in December prior to our QM2 embarkation, I spoke to the female concierge on the phone about arranging PCR tests for us. She quickly made us appointments shortly after our arrival that were within walking distance to the hotel. I called back about a week later with a question about the PCR procedure, the male concierge answered the phone and he said he ‘didn’t know about PCR sites’. I explained that I had spoken to a young lady who had booked us appointments. He mumbled and said ‘let’s see if I can get you their phone number…’ I stated that I wanted him to find the answer and leave me a voicemail. He was indignant and said ‘I don’t have to do that.’ This stay I once again encountered the male concierge on my way out to a meeting. I asked him if he could provide a few sheets of correspondence paper and envelopes. He stuttered and said ‘we’ll, I don’t know where I would get them or when’. I said I was late and if he could leave them at the front desk? No correspondence paper/envelopes. On another day as I was leaving, I stopped quickly and asked if I could have a small bouquet of flowers sent to my room billed to me (my dog had died). First, I had to wait until he finished his conversation with another staff member and then slowly turned to me and said ‘oh, I can’t do that because your billing information is secure (which I understand) and I don’t know how we would go about getting them.’ I walked away I was late. I called the front desk from my cab to tell them about the concierge and I just wanted a small bouquet of flowers for my room and the concierge was incompetent. The gentleman at the front desk said he would do his best. I went back to my room 6 hrs later expecting to see flowers and there, of course, were none. These last 2 stays have been disappointing service wise as notated above. I realize the pandemic continues but why have a concierge if he is inept. It was greatly frustrating.

Exceptional service is what we strive to be known for; therefore your feedback is extremely important as it helps us to continually improve our service and provide a memorable experience to our valued guests. Please allow me to express my sincerest apologies. I will ask my Director of Rooms Division to educate our concierge team (Carlomar and Run Run), as we clearly didn't meet your expectations and we are extremely sorry about this events. Our relationship with our guests is of paramount importance. We hope that you will present us the opportunity to better serve you in the near future. Sincerely,

Edward Business - Confirmed reviews ALL

The hotel has a beautiful lobby; the front desk staff were lovely to speak with. The room was spacious, clean, with a shower and separate bath. Some small elements seemed a little "dated" or "worn" but overall the room was excellent. The view out the window left a lot to be desired...that's New York. The room was a functional oasis and I would definitely stay again. The biggest hit: room service had very spotty availability, but it's also NYC you can get food anywhere.

J Families - Confirmed reviews ALL

Check in was only made available at 5pm, saying our suite isn't ready yet. Check in was also quite confusing as the staff was new. I have informed them I am an Accor gold member, so managed to get a late check out of 2pm. It was our anniversary and no anniversary setup in our room, front desk said hotel just reopened so don't do any special arrangement. We did request this upon booking and would be good to get told beforehand rather than following up again during our stay.

the hotel stay was very dissappointing with extremely high prices for no service (no breakfast, no room service, no dinner, no kettle or coffee maschine). 600USD per night ! Reception was extremely unfriendly at arrival. Finding customers eating McDonald´s in the reception is not a 5-star hotel standard

Perfect Hotel for Theater

Elizabeth R. Couples - Confirmed reviews ALL

We have stayed at the Sofitel on 44th Street many times. It never disappoints. We are theater fans and love the location between 5th and 6th. This was our first visit since COVID and it was great to be back. The only major change was the closure of Gaby, the restaurant, and the unavailability of breakfast. However, the hotel has started to provide a room service simple breakfast and we took advantage of that one day. It was expensive but excellent. There are other options nearby so though we missed the bed & breakfast package, we did fine. The rooms have not been redone in a while but they are elegant and well appointed and have held up beautifully. The room rate is reasonable compared with other options. The Sofitel is an extremely well maintained and well run hotel in a terrific location and we had a great stay.

We had a wonderful time. Although the restaurant is not open there is a diner almost next door for breakfast The concierge sent a list of nearby restaurants prior to our stay which was very helpful.

Thanks for a wonderful stay and we are now on our second visit after exploring Connecticut.
