“Good, but expected more”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 February 2012

When I booked a reservation on this Sofitel Hotel my expectations were high.
The overal experience was really good, but I expected more.
It´s not a big hotel, so the common areas such as the restaurant, the pool and gym are too small for a five star hotel.
The room has a nice decor, good size, but a small closet and bathroom.Most of the rooms have lateral views of the bay.
The staff is really helpful and gentle.
It must be the best hotel in Florianopolis downtown, so a great option if want to visit a lot of the island´s beaches.You can have a safe port to refuel your energies by the end of the day.

Room Tip: The rooms on the right, have better views, then the ones on the left side of the building.

“Great views but terrible room service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2012

As you enter the hotel the first sense to wake up is the smell. Same as in other Sofitels, the smell that reminds vervein is in the air. But on this hotel the pleasant smell was just too much. As we entered the room we were really happy with the views, shower and bed. We ordered room service but the food was awful, then we ordered something else and it was even worse. Breakfast was okay but I would rate as a 3 star hotel breakfast. We thought it was a completely lack of attention from the restaurant team since during breakfast the orange juice had a sign in front written orange cake. Go for breakfast in a cafe/ bakery called Chuvisco which is a few steps from the hotel and has a great selection of goods

“Not like the other Sofitel around the world..”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 January 2012

Not a Sofitel Standard..
This hotel should be at least downgraded to Novotel..
I do not recommend..
Just to give you some samples: my family called the hotel from europe to speak to me as the Skype line was very poor: after some waiting, the receptionist hang up on them.. They called back, they were told that I was not in my room..
