Chef Wesley went above and beyond to ensure all of my culinary needs were not only met, but exceeded. He took personal attention and responsibility. It’s definitely left a very high bar for future trips to the Sofitel. The rest of the hotel staff, including the new manager was very attentive too and ensured I had a comfortable stay. Thank you once again for a memorable experience.

Several issues :
1 - No one is responding to emails : I have sent an email prior my trip to el… & jo… to plan for pick up no one responded.
I have sent a reminder, no one responded.
I have sent another email to say I will cancel my booking if no response, no one responded.
2 - I got to airport and have to wait for 45 minutes after a long trip to get picked up after having been assisted by someone to call the Hotel.
3 - At the hotel, the experience was totally matching pre-arrival experience : low service level, no flexibility in food ordering, every request need at least 2 reminders.
e.g. on Monday, I requested for laundry pick up at 8PM, I called the reception twice, no one came after they confirmed they will come to pick it up.
The next day morning, I have asked twice, no one came. I had to carry my clothes myself to the reception for laundry.
4 - Internet access is an issue as well : totally unstable and difficult to have meetings and make calls

I recently completed a long-term stay at your property from 15th May to 12th June, and while there were some positive aspects, a number of issues remained unresolved that I feel compelled to share — especially given my status as an Accor Gold member and the length of my stay.
Positives
Let me begin by acknowledging that the check-in process was smooth, thanks to my team arriving a day earlier to facilitate the process. I also noticed a welcome improvement in the friendliness and attitude of the staff, which I greatly appreciate.
Key Concerns & Unresolved Issues
1. Loyalty Points Not Yet Credited
As of 14th June, I am yet to receive the points for my stay between 15th May and 12th June, which is disappointing. This delay affects my ability to redeem points for future stays and is not the experience one expects at a Sofitel.
2. Loyalty Privileges Overlooked
At check-in, no welcome amenities (water, fruits, chocolates) were offered as per Gold-tier expectations. These only arrived two days later.
Despite requesting a higher-floor room, no options or flexibility were offered at the time of allocation.
It took 3–4 days for the team to apply my 20,000 Accor points toward the booking — a simple process that should’ve been confirmed swiftly.
3. F&B Experience is Outdated
The breakfast menu has not changed in over 6 years, with zero innovation.
Basic requests like cutting an orange from the buffet were met with reluctance.
The bread selection feels dated, and there's a lack of local fruits like banana and mango.
No natural yogurt options were available.
On the beverages side, staff don’t know what a cold coffee or lemonade is. This reflects poorly on training and adaptability.
Ice cream and simple desserts could easily be introduced to elevate the experience.
4. Room Conditions & Maintenance
Visible seepage, stained cushions, and malfunctioning fridge and sockets indicate a need for urgent maintenance.
Room cooling was subpar, and no pillow options were available, which matters during long stays.
Even in a suite, fruits and basic condiments were absent — this is below Sofitel standards.
5. Fitness Centre & Wellness Area
The gym is underwhelming: poor internet signal, no music, limited towels, no proper hydration station, no sanitiser, and missing yoga mats.
I hope this feedback is taken in the spirit of continuous improvement. The Sofitel brand stands for elegance, comfort, and thoughtful hospitality — I genuinely hope to see these values better reflected in future stays.

The welcome at Sofitel was warm, and my room was comfortable. However, I encountered issues with the air conditioning—there were leaks, and loud noises disrupted my sleep for two nights. Despite raising a complaint, I received no response.
The most disappointing part of my stay was an unexpected extension of three nights due to work commitments. When I tried to settle the bill, both my Visa and Amex cards were declined. Running low on cash, I requested assistance from the manager to facilitate an online transfer, but my request was refused due to "trust issues"—a response I did not anticipate from a hotel of this caliber.
Thankfully, Mr. ElPidio stepped in and helped resolve the situation, for which I am truly grateful.
