Dear Mr. L., First and foremost thank you very much for taking the time to share your thoughtful feedback following your recent stay at Sofitel Legend The Grand Amsterdam. It is a particular pleasure to receive such kind words from someone who knows and appreciates the Sofitel brand so well. We are delighted that The Grand lived up to your expectations of a Sofitel Legend property and that you and your partner enjoyed the historic character of our hotel, its central location and, especially, your spacious room overlooking Amsterdam's beautiful canals. We are also pleased that our French-speaking colleague made the reservation process more comfortable for you and that your room upgrade contributed to making your visit even more enjoyable. At the same time, we were sorry to read that the friendliness of some colleagues did not reflect the warm and attentive hospitality you have come to expect from Sofitel. In particular, your experience with our valet colleague is disappointing to hear. A genuine greeting and a welcoming attitude should be present in every interaction, and we will certainly address your observations with the relevant team. As a valued ALL Platinum member and a frequent guest of Sofitel hotels, your continued trust means a great deal to us. We sincerely appreciate your loyalty and are grateful that you chose to experience The Grand during your time in Amsterdam.

Dear Mr. R., First and foremost thank you very much for taking the time to share your detailed feedback following your recent stay at Sofitel Legend The Grand Amsterdam. We are pleased to know that you and your partner enjoyed the comfort of your accommodation and particularly appreciated the attentive service provided by our Butler team. Your kind recognition of Mar and Pedro is especially meaningful, and we will be delighted to personally share your compliments with them. At the same time, I am sincerely sorry to learn that certain aspects of your stay did not reflect the seamless service we strive to provide. The maintenance issues you encountered, together with the lack of follow-up from Housekeeping and the delayed removal of room service trays, are certainly not the experience we wish for our guests. Your observation regarding communication between our departments is particularly valuable. A truly exceptional guest experience depends not only on individual attention but also on the coordination behind the scenes. Please be assured that your comments will be shared with our Housekeeping, Technical Services and Food & Beverage teams to review how we can improve our follow-up and communication. As a valued ALL Platinum member, your continued trust in The Grand means a great deal to us, and we regret that these details detracted from an otherwise enjoyable visit. We sincerely hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you both back and providing you with the consistently attentive and effortless experience you deserve.

Dear Ms. L., Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience following your recent stay at Sofitel Legend The Grand Amsterdam. First and foremost, we are delighted that you chose The Grand to celebrate such a special occasion as your 15th wedding anniversary together with your family. It is wonderful to read that you enjoyed the comfort of your rooms, our breakfast and restaurants, and the service provided by our team. We are also particularly pleased that your recognition as an ALL Platinum member, including your room upgrade, contributed positively to this special stay. At the same time, we sincerely regret your experience in our courtyard garden. We fully understand how unpleasant it must have been to encounter mice while seated outside, and we are very sorry that this affected what should have been an enjoyable evening. Please allow us to reassure you that their presence is not related to the hygiene standards of our hotel. Due to our historic location in the very heart of Amsterdam, surrounded by canals and centuries-old buildings, rodent activity unfortunately remains a challenge throughout the city. We work closely with specialised external pest-control professionals and take all measures permitted under current regulations to prevent and control their presence. Nevertheless, we completely understand that this explanation does not make the experience any less uncomfortable when encountered personally. Your feedback is taken seriously and has been shared with the relevant teams as part of our continued efforts to minimise such occurrences. Despite this unfortunate experience, we are grateful to see that you would still recommend The Grand and that so many other aspects of your stay received your highest appreciation. We sincerely hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you and your family back to Amsterdam and providing you with an experience that is memorable for all the right reasons. Warm regards, Stefan Melcherts General Manager Sofitel Legend The Grand Amsterdam

Thank you so much for your time! Here I request that this review be removed as it contains misleading statements regarding ALL (Gold) membership benefits. The reviewer states that the promised room upgrade was not provided and implies this is a guaranteed benefit of Gold status. However, under the ALL Accor Live Limitless program terms and conditions, room upgrades for Gold members are subject to availability at the time of check-in and are never guaranteed. The absence of an upgrade does not constitute a failure to honor membership benefits or a shortcoming on the part of the hotel. Hereby the link: https://all.accor.com/loyalty-program/cards-status-benefits-details/index.en.shtml?msockid=321f7ea418d4677d02e56bad19… The review therefore presents an expectation as though it were an entitlement, which misrepresents both the hotel's obligations and the ALL loyalty program. Guests wishing to guarantee a higher room category are required to reserve that room type at the time of booking. As the review attributes dissatisfaction to the hotel based on benefits that are explicitly conditional under the loyalty program, we believe it may mislead readers and respectfully request that it be reconsidered. Thank you once again! Sincerely, Nicky Smit Guest Relations

Dear Mr. F., First and foremost thank you very much for taking the time to share such a wonderful review following your recent stay at Sofitel Legend The Grand Amsterdam. I am truly delighted to learn that you considered The Grand to be "an oasis in the heart of Amsterdam." It is especially rewarding to know that you appreciated your personalized welcome, the comfort of your room, our hidden garden, the quality of our restaurants, and the attentive service provided by our team. Your generous compliments mean a great deal to all of us. I also sincerely appreciate your constructive feedback regarding sustainability and the heated towel rail during the exceptionally warm weather. Your comment has been shared with the relevant team for consideration. As one of our valued ALL Diamond members, I was, however, concerned to read that you were not offered a welcome amenity. Please accept my sincere apologies for this oversight. This is certainly not the experience I strive to provide for our loyal members, and i will review this internally to ensure greater consistency moving forward. Thank you once again for your kind words and valuable feedback. It would be my pleasure to welcome you back to The Grand in the near future for another memorable stay. Warm regards, Robin de Laat Guest Relations Officer
