New mordern hotel, very clean and great rooms! BUT the elevators are so time consuming and annoying! However it seems like the hotel is aware and ensure staff at the elevators during the day to help lighten the elevator traffic jam.
The pool area was probably the biggest disappointment. It is one big daycare center/ childrens playground with at least 30 screaming kids spread all over the pool area. Since you have to pre book a time lot to use the pool, we expected a less crowded time at the pool. However, it was a nightmare and we left after 15min - we asked the staff for a time lot where kids were not allowed, but unfortunately that’s not available. Stay far away from the pool area, the breakfast buffet and the elevator area - so noisy and crowded. On the other hand, the rooms are spacious and so quiet.
We loved the room, but no plan of returning to Sofitel in Jamsil. Simply too expensive for the daily elevator traffic jam and the amount of children in the hotel. If you have kids, you might be able to enjoy it more.
