adequate stay, some service concerns
slow breakfastinattentive staff
The millésime lounge lacked attentiveness. i was not welcomed or seated. empty plates accumulated and staff didn't clear them despite replenishing drinks... i found the breakfast service slow. My egg order was never taken at la terrasse. the checkout felt transactional, and i was not asked about my stay.

the in-room dining experience was good. i ordered the chef's special chicken biryani and uk-style fish and chips, both were delivered promptly. the sofitel mybed(TM) mattress was comfortable, and the hermès toiletries in the marble bathroom added a sense of luxury.. the location is convenient, connected to wafi mall.
I noticed some service lapses at the club lounge. staff seemed busy. I was not welcomed upon arrival. empty plates stacked up at my small table as staff replenished wine. the checkout felt transactional, with no inquiry about my stay.
