The location of the Sofitel worked out well as we were in the center of the city and very close to the just opened Christmas Market. It's nice to have a view from your hotel, but it wasn't a big deal that our room just looked out into an interior atrium.
The room was quiet, clean, and a good size. There was a desk, a chair, and a little couch. Some of the other features in the room were free water bottles, a tv, a stocked mini-bar, a hairdryer, robes, and a kettle with tea, coffee, and hot chocolate. The bathroom had a shower tub along with a magnifying mirror and your usual toiletries along with a few others like a sewing kit.
The spa area, which is free to use, has a small hot tub, a sauna, and a steam room. The night we went to check out the spa before dinner it was a bit of a hot mess with towels and some water bottles thrown everywhere, but it wasn't too bad as there were still towels for us to use. It seemed like although there was a desk for a staff member by the spa/gym area, it was not regularly staffed.
All and all I would recommend staying here and would stay here again myself. It was easy and inexpensive to get to the hotel from the public bus that serves the airport, the staff was helpful, and the 2 nights we stayed here we slept well. read more
