소피텔 그랜드 소포트

My daughter (16) and I stayed 2 nights at this grand hotel in mid august. We enjoyed our stay very much, mainly because of the closeness to the beach and the private beach area with sun loungers for Sofitel guests only. We were impressed by the beautiful look of the hotel from the outside.. It is situated in a lovely garden that is well taken care of. We were disappointed of the room on 4th floor. It was old and nothing special. We did not feel that it was a 5 star room. The hotel, apart from the room and somewhat old and dated decor all over on the inside, was very nice. The gym was not so great as at Sheraton next door, but good enough. The spa with the pool was nice, but full of small, noisy kids, so we did not spend much time there. Rooms at Sofitel are expensive, and the high price is even without breakfast! The cost of breakfast was PLN110 (29-30$) per 1 person, which is very expensive for breakfast even if it is in a fancy hotel. We had a lovely breakfast for 2 in different restaurants close by for PLN 100-120 for both of us, so unless you eat a lot for breakfast, the price the hotel wants is not worth it. Sopot was very nice, but next time we will probably go for another hotel, because we found the high price not worth it for what we got. But if money is not an issue, book a room on second or third floor facing the beach, with breakfast included.

Beautiful old hotel in the perfect location. Room was the perfect size and the bed was very comfortable. Big bathroom. Nice sitting area on the first floor with a piano and live saxophone music in the evening. There is a private beach area and even a small Starbucks on the beach. The staff spoke perfect English and were very helpful. One man arranged a taxi to the airport and another printed out my boarding pass for me (just in case the airport wanted a hard copy). Yes, it’s expensive, but it’s top notch and first class. Highly recommended.
