Very Poor

TripAdvisor rating 2.0/5

JVJV2021 09/04/2021 TripAdvisor review

Overrated - Breakfast was pretty poor and low in quality. I expected too much for a 5* hotel. Infinity pool is too small. Location is great. I might check in for a night but not longer than that. But staff are pretty helpful and very nice.

COVID crowding?

TripAdvisor rating 4.0/5

travelwithlisa 08/04/2021 TripAdvisor review

Spent Easter at the Sofitel Darling Harbour with family and friends. The hotel introduced a booking system for the pool to allow guests to enjoy a 2 hour time slot. This was a good idea but it seemed that numbers were above capacity on Easter Saturday when every chair was full and many people then resorted to sitting on the ground - it was more than packed! The hotel is lovely and is a good location, staff are helpful.

Gen Couples - 05/04/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

The hotel is beautifully presented and well maintained. The room was lovely, spacious and comfortable. Unfortunately, our room was on the northern side and as a result received a lot of street noise from the ferris wheel below - the music was heard until 11pm on both nights we stayed, making it hard to sleep.

Bonjour Gen, I want to thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience at the Sofitel Sydney Darling Harbour. While I am delighted you found us to be beautifully presented and well maintained, I am sorry to learn of the poor sleep you had; please allow me to express my sincerest apologies. The Sofitel has a pleasant relationship with business across Darling Harbour which is very disappointing to see that their noise may have exceeded the required levels permitted. Your feedback is very important to us and has since been shared with our security team. Rest assured that our team will investigate this further and will take the appropriate measures to address the problem with the parties involved in order to prevent a future recurrence. We appreciate your sharing your concerns, and it is our hope that you will give us the opportunity to better serve you in the near future. Sincerely, Francisco Cervantes Guest Service Manager Sofitel Sydney Darling Harbour

Rest assure that I will share your feedback with our team as I am sure that you experience will assist and encourage to improve the quality of their services.

Gen Families - 05/04/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

Excellent stay mainly made by the staff served us breakfast in the Club Millesime on Sunday March 28. Her name is Rui. Beautiful smile and helpfulness abound. The afternoon high tea was sensational and made up for the pre covid spread. Hope the 24-hour lounge access would resume soon as I miss sitting there late night. The same cannot be said of the Reception downstairs upon checkout. Long queue with only one staff. A gentleman staff came out to the Accor Member Counter and refused to serve us as he claims that is not his job. Since opening, and from experience, it appears that the Reception is your Achilles heel. When you first opening, I thought it would be resolved. Unfortunately, till now, it appears that the problems had not been addressed. By the way, please tell your reception staff, engaging small talks does not equate good service. Most guests do not want to be held back by unnecessary small talks nor repetition of so-called advice. The guests being served looked impatient and the guests in the long queue definitely were not too happy.

Bonjour Gen, I want to take a moment to personally thank you for taking a moment of your day to share with us your most recent stay at the Sofitel Darling Harbour. While I am delighted! to see that Rui looked after you during your time with us, I am however disappointed to learn of the poor interaction you had with one of our ambassadors; allow me to express my sincerest apologies for the response you received. While the ambassador may not have been capable to assist, there response was certainly unacceptable. We are all here to assist where and if needed. Rest assure that I will share your interaction with our Front Office Manager who I am sure would appreciate knowing this and will address the matter appropriately with his entire team. At the end of the day, ALL ambassadors at Sofitel are here to serve our guests and encourage one another to deliver a superior service. I thank you again for pointing our Rui as the ambassador who looked after you and for bringing your other concerns to my attention. We are slowly extending our hours of operation within the hotel and hope to see you in the near future once we are back running at full capacity! Sincerely, Francisco Cervantes Guest Service Manager Sofitel Sydney Darling Harbour

Ive been put at disability room by Jullien, its very disappointing and traumatic. I did not enjoy at all, the carpet has a rubbish some sort of small alluminium cover. It didnt clean properly. I have requested a room upgrade 2 weeks before my staying and Jimmy Tran sent us email mentioned that he will prioritize us, because we are a loyal AccorPlus Member for a decade. I try to contact him via email but no one replying, it has been three days.

Dear Jacqueline, Thank you so much for sharing your feedback with us and I am very sorry to hear that you experienced issues during your stay. I understand that Scott Bear, Front Office Manager has been in contact with you to resolve the matter. Please do not hesitate to contact me if there is anything further I can do to assist.

peterN3466NJ Business - 05/04/2021 TripAdvisor review

Platinum upgrade denied as we had booked at the top of our tier. If there was a suite upgrade in the booking process, we were not aware of it. One remembers the great Sofitels in Queenstown, Singapore etc and forgets bad experiences from before and we say, wish we booked Mercure or Novotel and paid for our Lounge drinks

Arif M. Business - 04/04/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

- Manager in the restaurant took so long to figure out where to seat people. - Seemed like the manager was always angry with the staff that seemed untrained and wanted to do the right, but had no leadership and training - How can you build a hotel in the city and NOT have a place that I can plug a computer in and work from, whilst having a coffee??? Only place is a club that I have to pay additional for, despite being a silver Accor member. Concierge were rude and not interested in assisting at all. - Don’t know where the pompous attitude comes from, but whilst the stay was ok, room and amenities were good, the attitude of managerial and concierge were terrible. - As an Accor member I would expect better, but maybe I should stick Marriot Bonvoy hotels as I feel welcomed in their hotels and they go over and above, unlike the Sofitel.

Bonjour Arif M., I want to thank you for bringing your experience to our attention following your most recent stay at the Sofitel Darling Harbour. I am sorry to hear of the interactions you had with our ambassadors and some of the managers which ultimately spoiled your experience, not meeting your overall expectations in service; allow me to express my sincerest apologies for the encounters had. At Sofitel Hotels & Resorts, we are continuously striving to provide our guests, particularly our members that superior service experience they have come to expect from any Sofitel; therefore your feedback is very important to us. While I am pleased to see Bebe looked after you, I want to assure you that I will share your concerns with the leaders who oversee the outlets you had the poor experience in. I am confident they will take the appropriate measures to address your concerns in order to prevent any future recurrences as this is not the way we train our ambassadors. Again, we appreciate you sharing these concerns with us and it is our hope that you will reconsider and give us the opportunity to better serve you in the near future.

Noisy room. Reception said nothing could be done. Gift as platinum much inferior to many other Accor hotels in which I’ve stayed (esp the nearby Sofitel Wentworth).

Bonjour JD, We want to thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience at Sofitel Darling Harbour. I am sorry to see you did not receive the Members experience you were wishing for; please allow me to express my sincerest apologies. I took a moment to review the preferences in Accors Digital Customer Card (ACDC) and was unable to find anything that may have assisted us. I assure you our team are always working hard to strive and provide that superior service experience our members come to expect from any Accor property; therefore your feedback is very important to us. You can reach me anytime to discuss your preferences or any dietary restrictions so that we can provide you with that Members welcome you should have received. I do appreciate you bringing these concerns to my attention, and it is my hope that you will give us the opportunity to better serve you in the near future.
