Nice hotel but standards have fallen a bit

Third time staying but probably my least favourite experience. The Positives: swift (and early) check in, friendly front desk staff. Room spotlessly clean and comfortable. Quality (and varied) breakfast. Negatives: Top floor bar no longer open to all guests. Was told this "was for VIPs only" by staff member on desk. Disappointed as was looking forward to enjoying the lovely views over a drink with my daughter. Also quite embarrassed to be declined entry. Kind of goes against the leaflet provided at check in which says "Dear Valued Guest". Didn't feel very 'valued' in that instance. There is also a large amount of construction going on in front of the property which the hotel should be more open about when booking. Meant that relaxation time by the pool was a non-starter. Also prevented from using ground floor toilets while fireworks were on. I get why they don't want the hotel being used as a public toilet but, as a 'valued guest' I would expect to still be able to access them (especially as I had purchased drinks from their ground floor bar). Maybe put a staff member on to check room cards? Service also slow at the ground floor bar - waited 10 minutes to be served. Would I stay again? Maybe, but I kind of feel that the hotel is trading on previous high reputation. IMO, standards across the board have slipped. Might try the W next time..

Everything you’d expect from a Sofitel

Beautiful corner room with stunning views and spectacular bath. Super comfy pillows. Great room service. The club lounge is exceptional. Very convenient for the ICC. Everything you’d expect from a Sofitel.
