Rented two rooms at the Sofitel. We heard the daily construction of renovation which the hotel needs to keep up its Sofitel reputation as a luxury hotel - currently the rooms show a lot of wear and tear. The top floor (5th) serves a delightful breakfast, lunch & cocktail hour - not only is the food delicious but the presentation... More

Inside the Sofitel is a delightful Teppanaki Restaurant serving the freshest of fish cooked in front of us by one of their trained chefs. We asked for a light dinner--fish, vegetables, and fried rice. It was perfect--quality ingredients served up with panache. They were worried we didn't order enough food for two people so they doubled up on the fried... More

Almost all of the sofitels I gave stayed in in china have been worthy of the term 'luxury hotel', but the hangzhou Sofitel is an exception. If it had been classified as a four-star hotel and priced accordingly, I wouldn't have minded but as it was it was disappointing. The foyer was small, the rooms were old, noisy, tired. The... More

This is the second time that we stay here, its not the true 5-star Sofitel brand that you would expect. I would only give it a 4 star max. There is only one Chinese restaurant and one western coffee shop. The coffee shop is small in relation to the number of rooms and the choice of food though adequate, is... More

I spent two days at Sofitel. Really enjoyed my stay. The hotel has a perfect location, some clean rooms, nice facilities, quite adequate air conditioning. Staff was helpful but really more English speaking skills are needed. Breakfast was a little worst. Fruit was not fresh enough.
