Although the room had a superb view and a large bathroom with excellent Sofitel toiletries, it felt like it had not been used for a while and initially had a smell of cigarettes. Additionally, there was a noticeable mildew odor present.

7.4/10

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were fine, but ensure you get one facing the harbor for the best views. The service was extremely attentive, but the room change was a bit of a letdown. The location was amazing, close to the center and the port, but there were some noise issues. The dining was eclectic but had some shortcomings. Overall, a decent stay with some ups and downs.

The hotel offers a mix of breathtaking views from some rooms, while others overlook less appealing areas. The rooms are very comfortable and clean, but the service experience varies from rude interactions to friendly and helpful attention. The location is perfect for exploring the city on foot, and the dining experience, although impressive in terms of the buffet, falls short in some basic offerings. Overall, depending on the room allocated and the interactions with staff, the stay can be a mix of excellent comfort and disappointing service.
