Made a great first impression when we arrived by taxi and had our bags looked after and brought to the room. The room was quiet, modern, large and very well equipped. There was complementary coffee and tea every morning in the bar and the choice of breakfast in the street cafe or restaurant. Breakfast menu very comprehensive with lots of... more

My husband and I had a wonderful stay on the 4th floor at the Sofitel with our 8 month old. The entire room gave us the feeling that it was newly refurnished and we weren't the thousandth people to roam the floors and sleep in the bed. Our room was exceptionally clean, which was important with a child who is... more

There is not much to add to the previous reviews. This is a fantastic hotel. Perfect in every way, including very pleasant and functional interior design. Excellent noise insulation, including insulation from bathroom noise even in your own room. Room service breakfast was great, with a 2 person order having enough for 3. One interesting anecdote to show how good... more

Got out of the cab in front of the hotel and we courteously greeted by the Doorman. The courteous and helpful staff didn't stop there. From the extremely helpful (and patient) people at the front desk, to room service personnel and housekeeping (who brought us a top sheet and extra pillows in only a few minutes after our request), everyone... more

I vascillated between the Mandarin Oriental and Sofitel for my trip to Washington, D.C., but ended up going with the Sofitel due to lukewarm TripAdvisor reviews of the MO. In truth -- I would give the Sofitel a 4.5, but since TripAdvisor does not allow half-ratings, I have rounded up to 5 because I feel it would be unfair to... more

This Hotel was great, I just wish we could have stayed longer. The staff were very professional and culturally diverse. This was a bonus. I wish I could have taken the bed home with us, it was so nice. The hotel is located just 5 minutes from the White House and 2 minutes from the subway. The subway is clean... more

My wife and I met her brother and wife from the mid-west at the Sofitel DC in April for 4 nights. We pre-purchased our room on the Sofitel website--which was an excellent rate. We had a wonderful stay in Washington DC. The room was very nice, although it faced an inner courtyard. We were happy with the room because the... more

Stayed at this hotel for 4 nights. Fantastic views (we were on the top floor) and absolutely quiet. Room was spacious, well appointed and good options - including DVD, CD, etc. The lobby area is small with options for fine dining or bistro. Bistro food is good but the staff are a little inconsistent (good and bad ones). The fine... more

Maybe our expectations were heightened having read all the rave reviews before we left. Or maybe we were just a bit fussy having come directly from more "American" style hotels where the service is slightly slicker. But we couldn't help feeling mildly disappointed with the Sofitel. Don't get me wrong - the rooms are excellent and are really well equipped.... more
