    “Very Good Location and Design with Limited Service”

    I expected better and bigger rooms and housekeeping is definitely a 5 star hotel quality and, their bathrooms need some check-ups. There was crazy amount of dust in our room. Imagine that I leave my phone on the side table and it is lightly covered with dust next morning, almost everyday. They are very stingy with drinking water in rooms. In 5 star hotels such this one when you ask for leaving extra water in the room they should not eager be eager to charge it on the room, especially when they know and see you have a young children. I stayed in many 5 star hotels and they were very flexible with it.

    “런던 여행이라면 무조건 소피텔”

    직원 최고, 룸 인테리어 최고, 청결최고, 스파 최고, 위치가 진짜 가장 최고 그러나 호텔 내부 시설이 아쉬웠다 왜냐하면 이용할수있는 식당과 풀장이 없어서이다. 그러나 주변에 다양한 맛집이 많아서 좋다.
