5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 May 2013 NEW

You can just enjoy cool design, pleasant decor, top functionality and perfect service from very friendly staff. Far better than any hotel we have stayed in. Rooms and suites are just much better designed and arranged - offering you premium comfort. Nothings missing and everythings working perfectly.

Was with my family for a vacation. The property is great, lovely view and central. proximity to the station, shopping area etc. However, the people manning the property are extremely warm and hospitable. It was home away from home. They took pains in guiding us to the various places to see and finding schedule and doing reservations for us. Thank... More

I had a circumstance that made me a bit of a high maintenance customer and the staff was extremely helpful and accommodating. Also, the bed is so comfortable - the best sleep I've ever had at a hotel!

The hotel has a very good location, less than 1 km from the old city center. I was here for four days on business, the staff was very pleasant and polite.

Rating "Average" only for its location. Despite it is Sofitel Brand, this hotel does not have its value. Rooms are like Pullmann-Novotel. It is overprised and staff does not respect the VIP guest Platinum wishes. Our room was in lower floor with no view, but we asked for 3 months before our stay. Breakfast was average like better Novotel. Next... More

However, the restaurant is not opened during most of the time we stayed. We had to look for food outside during East Sunday and Monday. Everything, other than coffee... More
