Disliked: Staff & service
service was very poor we requested to keep items in fridge that will spoil it was total chaos . The fridge hardly cools in the room .
The place was overpriced for the class of service it provides cars have to park a km away and not near the entrance and in open air with no shade .
The staff are very polite, respectful and always ready to serve, truly inspiring.
I interacted with many staff members like Amin, Isidore, Ornélya, Fassinou, Koku, Uta, Ascension, Tchakounte, Pérou Njoya, everyone was ready to serve, and exceed expectations. A truly amazing team.
C'est juste incroyable!
Je n'ai jamais aussi était confortable dans établissement hôtelier.
Le Sofitel Cotonou est un endroit exceptionnel que je recommande à tout le monde.
L'hôtel répond a toutes les attentes (un personnel aimable, un lieu chic et l'élégant, une cuisine raffinée, une décoration incroyable et apaisante dans chaque détail et surtout un lieu sûr et tranquil).
C'était une découverte incroyable
Missed my flight and was disappointed that Expedia still invoiced the hotel and I had to pay for a room that I did not use due to missing flight. My reservation was with breakfast which was not visible in the hotel. So I paid 2x for breakfast. Overall very bad experience during this 3 day stay.
L'hotel 5 stelle presenta alta professionalità, non certo inferiore agli standard europei. Il personale è molto attento e gentile. Il cibo è curato e ben servito: al momento erano attivi 3 ristoranti con proposte diverse da scegliere. Le camere sono accoglienti e spaziose. Abbiamo apprezzato i materiali e le finiture di qualità, e la personalità della hall, arredata con oggetti locali. La posizione è perfetta, a pochi minuti dall'aeroporto. Con una piacevole passeggiata serale abbiamo raggiunto la statua dell'Amazzone: la zona è tranquilla e sicura. Purtroppo non abbiamo avuto tempo di approfittare della spa e del campo da tennis.
La struttura presenta anche un cinema e una discoteca. Purtroppo non c'era accesso diretto alla spiaggia, forse per dei lavori in corso alla strada
