“A happy couple of days.”

Reviewed 9 June 2013

Only stayed here for a couple of nights whilst visiting the city for work. Hotel is nice. Room service was good and staff were friendly. Cant comment to much as I wasn't in the hotel a great deal. However, I thought I should comment on the location. This is right next to West lake which is a fantastic way to... More

“Decent but definitely not worth the money until renovations are done”

Reviewed 6 June 2013

This review is an update from a previous stay 3 years ago. Last time the hotel was getting old and the food was horrendous. This time... well let's say that time has not been kind to this Sofitel. Except for a surprisingly good experience in the Club lounge, everything was disappointing. Not bad mind you, but disappointing. Decent hotel but... More

“Total Disregard of Complaints”

Reviewed 30 May 2013

Since 1999 when my wife and I retired and started traveling, I have chosen Accor Hotels over any other, when possible. After our stay at the Sofitel West Lake, not again! The lack of any A/C in our room caused us to roast like a turkey. Our complaints fell on deaf ears. When we were checking out, we were told... More

“It is not even fit for a 3 star”

Reviewed 27 May 2013

I am surprised Accor calls this property as a Sofitel 5star... It is probably worth an Ibis status. The only thing going in its favour is probably the location. Just across the road from the lake and the night spots around it. The overall experience was so bad for our entire extended family (10 persons) in 4 rooms, that we... More

“Sofitel's Staff Makes Stay a Delight”

Reviewed 5 May 2013

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

“Where to eat in Hangzhou”

Reviewed 29 April 2013

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

“4star not 5 star”

Reviewed 26 April 2013 via mobile

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

“Not the high standard of Sofitel”

Reviewed 4 April 2013

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

“Under refurbishment”

Reviewed 3 April 2013

This hotel is currently under refurbishment and is therefore very noisy between the hours of 9.30am and 6.30pm, in fact we were awoken one morning to drilling at 7.30am. The hotel has a good location next to the lake and close to the town but the hotel lobby, spa and other communal areas were a no go. The restaurants and... More
