My stay at the Sofitel was a delightful experience overall. The customer service truly stood out, with staff going above and beyond to make me feel welcomed. The location is excellent, just a short walk from major attractions, and the ambiance of the hotel is charming. While the rooms were beautifully designed, they were somewhat small, which can be expected in central London. Additionally, there's a minor lack of storage space in the rooms. Despite these small drawbacks, I had a memorable stay and would happily return.
