I recently stayed at SO Sofitel Singapore for a short stopover and had a truly enjoyable experience. The location is fantastic, right in the central business district and next to a vibrant food hall. The staff were some of the friendliest I’ve encountered, contributing significantly to my pleasant stay. However, there were minor hiccups during breakfast service that could be improved.

I had a mixed experience at So Sofitel Singapore; while the location was perfect and the staff were friendly, some aspects of the hotel felt dated. The breakfast was decent but limited, and the room service could have offered more variety. Overall, it's a good spot for those wanting a central location, but I hoped for a bit more from a boutique hotel.

Rooms

8.0

The rooms were well-designed and spacious, with a great view of the bustling food markets below. However, there were issues with noise from the air conditioning and drains, which detracted from the overall comfort.

The location couldn't be better, right in the heart of downtown and close to an MRT station, making it easy to explore. The nearby food court offered a great variety of local street food.

Dining

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at So Sofitel Singapore, especially with the fantastic service from the staff, particularly Michael and the concierge duo of Tyson and Jeffrey. The vibrant atmosphere of the hotel matched its unique design, making for an enjoyable experience. However, the breakfast and some room maintenance left a bit to be desired.

Rooms

8.0

The SO/ Lofty room was spacious and uniquely designed, though it showed signs of wear with some chips in the furniture. I appreciated the artsy furnishings and the in-room tech control, although the non-functioning phone was a minor inconvenience. The bathroom setup, while stylish, had a glass partition that may not suit all travelers.

Service

9.0

The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, especially Ms. Gil, who provided really good guest relations. My experiences with both front desk and housekeeping were mostly positive, though a few miscommunications regarding room requests did occur.

Location

10.0

The hotel's location is prime, right in the CBD and close to public transport. Being only 600m from the nearest MRT station made it easy for me to explore the city, and the close proximity to Lau Pa Sat hawker center was a good bonus.

Dining

7.0

While the breakfast spread had a nice variety, the quality did not quite match expectations, particularly for a hotel of this caliber. The rooftop bar, however, offered great cocktails and a lively atmosphere despite initial service hiccups.

Facilities

7.0

The amenities provided were impressive, particularly my favorite nostalgic snacks in the minibar. While the gym and pool facilities were adequate, they could benefit from more sunbeds and better maintenance.

I had a wonderful stay at SO Sofitel for my honeymoon! The concierge staff were absolutely fantastic, especially Ismail, Nazar, Arnel, Jeffrey, and Tyson, who made our experience truly special. However, I found some aspects of the breakfast service inconsistent, with some staff going beyond expectations while others seemed a bit laid-back.

Rooms

Location

The hotel's location is excellent, just a short walk from the MRT and right opposite Lau Pa Sat hawker food centre. This vibrant spot is perfect for experiencing local cuisine at budget-friendly prices. Plus, it's within walking distance to Marina Bay and many other attractions.

Dining

7.0

While the breakfast offered a decent variety, it wasn't as impressive as I expected for a hotel in this category. There were great items available, but I thought some areas could be improved to better reflect the Sofitel brand's dining standards.

Facilities

7.0

The facilities were well thought out, but the gym and pool were on the smaller side. That said, the rooftop bar was a highlight, providing a fantastic ambiance to relax and unwind. Room service was prompt and efficient, adding to the overall comfort of my stay.

The location was fantastic, with easy access to attractions and public transport.

Rooms

The room was large and immaculate, with plenty of storage and an incredibly comfortable king bed. I especially appreciated the well-stocked minibar and the divine smelling toiletries. However, we didn't have a view from our room, but that didn't bother us too much.
