Sofitel is the best place the stay when visiting Beijing.. Never had a problem and the staff was so attentive..

This is the fourth time I have stayed in the Sofitel Wanda and my first review. My companies office is nearby, although I have a choice to stay at other nearby hotels. Overall the hotel is modern and very clean. The rooms are large in size, well appointed and very comfortable. If you are a business traveller the rooms are very well designed and organised for this purpose. They are fitted with a large desk, phone, free wired/wireless internet, plenty of drawer space and desk lamp. My only issue is the desk chair could be more comfortable/ ‘office ergonomic’. The bathroom is large. Separate bath, toilet and shower – with a additional rain shower head. The air-conditioning seemed overly noisy, something I have not noticed on previous stays. I have eaten at the dinner buffet (Vic restaurant) in the past and did so with a guest on this occasion. There is plenty of choice and the option to have a freshly cooked pasta or noodle dish, however the many chefs/cooks located behind the buffet seem not terribly interested in doing so. Getting their attention is difficult and this was not the first time I experienced this issue. The wait staff on the floor are excellent and overall the food quality is fresh and tasty. On another evening, for the first time, I decided to try another restaurant. There is a French, Chinese and Japanese. I tried the Japanese – Kacoya Hachibay. I selected a set meal ‘sushi set’. The quality, quantity and service was excellent. I struggled to complete the meal despite having a big appetitive prior. Check in service was not that good. Reception seemed disorganised and not overly friendly. Check out was quick and organised. This is a great hotel, however if there was a focus to fill the service quality gaps it would be fantastic.

Gorgeous Sofitel, beautifully designed, the rooms were extremely well appointed and stunning. The service in the club lounge was terrific.

The hotel was stunning and grand in design.
Quality seemed good.
French meets China. Fun.
Service was hit and miss ... But mainly in the f&b outlets
Also, the food was below standard for a five star hotel (cold burger delivered to my room, buffet looked tired)
Great location though.
