    Testament to Hospitality - highly recommended

    I'm not a fan of the hotels occupancy policy. Deluxe rooms are quite spacious and sufficient for a child to share the parents bed. The kids club could be a tad better, a little bigger and some physical activity for kids like slides and swings would have been better.

    Superb breakfast - the best croissants I've ever had Well organized spacious room with supporting tech from a smart iPad, controllable curtains and lights. Birthday celebration Hotel connected to Wafi mall (Carrefour is the first store). Kids club This hotel's staff and I'm talking about the manager Nargiz in particular that was able to turn a sad ending to a remarkable beginning. We will forever cherish this hotel because of her and her supporting staff that made the stay a memorable one before our flight back home. We had booked this last minute due to changes in our vacation (we extended). The booking took place despite it didn't meet the hotels occupancy policy. Being a non refundable booking we were in a bit awkward position as the hotel had responded close to check in time and I only saw their response requesting to pay additional once I had arrived at the hotel. It was not either cancel and dispute or figure out a middle ground. Nargiz was able to rectify the situation and provide a solution that wouldn't break the bank and still keep us as their guests accommodating my 5yr old son who was considered as an adult according to the hotels policy. This solution really made my family and I appreciate Sofitel the brand and their remarkable staff like Nargiz for finding a positive outcome. She and her staff also made my son's birthday vacation end with truly the best for last. She got him and his younger brother toy cars, a lovely cake and balloons to make it a birthday we all will never forget! She also got him an extra bed which was more than many other hotels trying to setup the sofa. I will always mention Sofitel as setting the standard of hospitality and customer care when dealing with any other hotel anywhere in the world and will always first consider this brand as our first choice. Thank you.

    The breakfast buffet could be better and more selection would be better, as it’s the same food everyday.

    The hotel was beautiful, loved the wafi mall, so easy and great location.

    Bed’s mattress are too firm and uncomfortable for people like me who are having backache.

    Wonderful and polite staff, clean rooms, amazing room service menu, nice breakfast and most importantly it’s so quiet and peaceful, I would recommend it to anyone who is traveling for work
