Room was clean and well maintained. Common areas were also well maintained.
Staff were friendly and eager to assist.
Location was fabulous - Darling Harbour is a great place to stay.
We are total hillbillies living for a few days beyond our means. The hotel is so classy, clean and with great views. The bathtub is in front of a western window and we bathed and watched the beautiful Australian sunset. I loved it. The staff was so accommodating. Not one nasty person and the included breakfast kept us from eating till dinner. I loved Australia and staying in Sidney in such a classy place, was a great way to conclude a month of trekking!!
The room was very clean and a second daily check ensured we were well looked afterfor our stay. Club Millesime was largely an enjoyable experience but breakfast time was a lot busier than we expected.
We arrived early and were to be told when our suite was ready but this did not happen which was a shame as we had the same thing happen the last time we stayed.
Good location with lots of restaurants close by.
Stayed in Sofitel for my solo birthday trip, was presented with a tiramisu birthday cake. Thank you for the gesture.
Also, enjoyed a run with view in hotel gym.
