We loved everything, from the cleanliness, service, since we stayed at the junior executive suite with access to Millisime club it made the experience a whole lot better. We extended out stay for another night and the lady at the reception was very lovely and helpful

Karen Australia

We’ve stayed with Sofitel Sydney a few times and it always meets out expectations in terms of cleanliness and comfort. Definitely will come back here, the staff was lovely when we checked in.

Staff were extremely helpful. Arrived with our luggage haven’t checked in (we were early). The staff took our bags no questions asked and got them into our room after check in. Have had several other requests and it was always prompt and efficiently delivered. Overall experience was great. Drinks upon arrival. Rooms were a bit delayed but no major hiccups. We were given a quiet room, couldn’t even tell there were patrons with kids on same floor.
