Checked-in after midnight. The staff was waiting for me. Free streets, I was told by my taxi, which surround the hotel, have been under construction for 2+ years.

Excellent location.

Singapore taxis are charging a surcharge for using VISA CARD. ILLEGAL. Violates agreement with of North America.

Nice room. Very nice. I was impressed with the hotel from the time I arrived at the entrance.

Rooms are terrific. Wonderfully well appointed. Extra goodies are excellent.

Staff the front counter are correct. Facts : 1. Staff at front desk are Filipino. 2. Singapore women are awesomely beautiful.

Buffet breakfast is one of the best I've enjoyed. Hotels these days tend to high on price, and low on quality, for breakfast. So Sofitel will bless your culinary side.

Chrysanthemum tea is morning tea, camomile tea is bed time tea. They do not have chrysanthemum tea or other Chinese foods, such as yak butter, or the of the list, no white tea, green tea, etc.

Building is very nice!

I am gold member with Accor. Room was not upgraded. I always wonder if hotels are sincere regarding free upgrades to premiere level members.

Variety, and quality of food is good. Nothing burned, dried out, or the like. Excellent, including fresh squeezed juices.

I would give the hotel a B+ because of the following : 1) quality of staff ranges from high end, to low end; 2) I did not get my upgrade, or, any other benefit of my membership level ; 3) Chinese City State which does not have Chinese tea. I ordered in English, and Cantonese. Only have chamomile; 4) no Singapore women or men working here. Singapore women are beautiful.

Should you stay here? Yes.

Do not expect to receive you free upgrade if you are Accor member.

Do not expect any benefits from gold membership. None at all.

Sofitel has this junk called "system music." If you find it extremely loud, you cannot escape. If you find the system music offensive, you cannot escape. Staff does not like music, no culture likes the music. Sofitel has never polled guests as to comment.

Pictures do not show system music, or people complaining.

Staying in Sofitel, or any hotel, and having banging music forced upon you, not fun.

Pictures are reviews do not discuss system music. I like the people, but hate the system music.

Sofitel employees low end Filipinos who cannot speak English which has been their national language since 1895. Speech is in prepositional phrases, full of rolling superlatives, and finding a subject is nearly impossible. Sofitel opts to hire very fat, very ugly, female, very low educated Filipinos. Good thing is that Sofitel is not importing katoey (homosexuals).

I live in Vietnam. I do not know if the coffee in Sofitel is Singapore culture, or Sofitel culture, but they do not have coffee. Pan American, which changed its name from Sofitel Plaza, in Hanoi makes excellent coffee, known as "coffee vin".

The best coffee in the world is lopichek, which is a rat who chews on the coffee beans, which are then harvested.

The second best choice is weasel, which is also a weasel (rat like animal), who chews of the beans.

Brazil is the largest producer of coffee beans. Vietnam is the largest roaster of coffee beans, in the world.

Pecolated coffee with some company name is mixed with cornmeal, and tastes like metal. This hotel use a brand name coffee not a good coffee.

The hotel has only camomile tea which is a night time tea for Chinese. Morning tea chrysanthemum, bonei, yak butter, white teas. Not available here.

Good thing : buffet breakfast includes mineral water.
