At first I was given a room on the street and it was too noisy. I got moved the next day and that was much better. The hotel is nice and the rooms are clean and very comfortable. The location is great as it’s just on the canal and near the swuare

Staff, service, location, property - 5 stars
Rooms below par. Small rooms made smaller by stuffing beds together to make an extra buck. Disappointing.

Fabulous hotel staff and the restaurants are great. The rooms looked great and had a beautiful canal view.
When we first got to our room we found a used hair comb by the bed and the bathroom smelt foul. We ran the shower and the smell went away for a short period. It came back through the night and was very unpleasant.
The staff said they’d look into it but I’m assuming nothing could be done.
Other than the smelly bathroom it’s a splendid location.

Been to some amazing hotels around the world, the staff and rooms of this place was pretty amazing. We now have turned this place into a yearly stop for us. Glad we didn’t stay anywhere else.
They made my wife’s 40th so magical. Only thing I wish I had the ability to do is tip the staff as a group, especially the staff that made our room up multiple times a day, I wanted to thank them all rather than trying to hunt them down individually.

We booked a 10 day stay on the same day we arrived because the original hotel we had stayed at was atrocious when we arrived. As soon as we entered the Sofitel it was like we had landed on a different planet. The friendliness and professionalism of the staff was second to none. They always remembered who we were and what rooms we were in and made us feel at home. Val the bartender at the Flying Dutchman had become part of our family! He is a absolutely the best and even checked in on us when he was on vacation! :) love love love ❤️

We had booked a Junior Suite for just a night. It was a large room with a high ceiling, nicely furnished but quite odd. We checked in early and the front desk did warn us that the available room at that time was a bit funky and had stairs. The oddest design was that the toilet and shower areas were separate and at different levels. The toilet only had 2 small towels and no hand soap or lotion. The AC could just not cool the room enough and they brought in a couple of fans which helped. The room was right next to the street so we could hear people talking as they walked by. Luckily it did not seem like a very busy street. The staff was friendly and we were assigned a 'butler'. I am not exactly sure what was the purpose and how contacting him would be any different than calling the front desk. Anyway, he did help us get the fans for the room. We did not eat at their restaurant.

The staff was amazing. Eager to help and very competent. The room was beautiful, clean and the bed was so comfortable I want a mattress like that.
The location was on spot, close to shopping and dining.
