Excellent and highly recommended
Stayed in a club room and it is big and spacious and the bed is comfy too. The view is breathtaking at level 40. The service at the club was top notch with a good list of drinks and food was fresh and delicious.

there were issues that should be fixed. the bathroom has not enough light for shaving. the desk power plug door has hinges that make it difficult to open. there is power only on one side of the bed. Noise on our final night from the water riser. there was no control to turn off the bed side lamps without turning all lights off.
Happy hour was great. the people working at the hotel were wonderful but few spoke English. however, with all the new translators that was not a big issue. i think we were the only foreigners in the hotel. very nice looking place with fantastic views.

This hotel could be one of the best Sofitel I have had stayed. Staff were warm and helpful, Dennis at front desk even helped us packed some larger gift items we bought, breakfast was to die for, view of the city and the lake from our room at 37 floor was
unforgettable, this hotel has its uniqueness, love our 4 nights’ stay, so enjoyable.

The hotel is a bite aged but well kept. Gym and pool are so well equipped, staff are very helpful,

Services was excellent from the lobby staff to check-in to room. Only thing I'd suggest to hotel is there was a loud humming sound late into the night made it hard to sleep for some.

Not up to 5 stars standard!
First off: I have called in to request my room to have flowers for my g/f. Nothing at all!
Second: We had to wait 20 mins for our room to get ready
3rd: location was terrible, as no good shopping malls near our area
4th: Our room condition was not good. Please renovate it!
But I have to say Sofitel restaurants, swimming pool and gym were pretty impressive. Hope next time I will have a better experience.
