The location is great! As soon as we checked in, they welcomed us with two glasses of champagne — such a nice touch and really delicious 😋. The only downside is that check-in is a bit late at 3 PM, which made it a bit tricky to plan our time beforehand. But overall, everything else was lovely!

Bad experience in this hotel.
Smelly rooms with cigarette smell.
And no bottle of water provided instead of day 1.
I booked a sea view room but not even can see the ocean because blocked by the other building.
Very impolite to Asian tourists.
Response from Property: Bonjour,Thank you for sharing your feedback, and please allow me to express my sincerest apologies for the experience you encountered during your stay with us at Sofitel Gold Coast Broadbeach.I am very sorry to hear about the issues you faced — particularly the unpleasant smell of cigarette smoke in your room, the lack of bottled water beyond the first day, and the disappointment with the sea view due to surrounding buildings. These are not the standards we strive to uphold, and I regret that we did not meet your expectations.Most concerning, however, is your comment regarding the treatment of Asian tourists. Please be assured that Sofitel is committed to welcoming guests from all backgrounds with the highest level of respect and care. Your feedback is invaluable and has been shared with the relevant departments so we may take corrective action. I do hope we have the opportunity to restore your trust in the future.Merci,Fraser RossGeneral Manager

The only minus is that another building block the view during sunrise and sunset and perhaps sofitel should run promotions more frequently

Great place, close to the beach and all the nice restaurants
Not working safe and lack of smart tv was the only minus.

The hotel is located in an excellent position. It offers both sea view and river view with different styles. Usually, I stay in the sea-view rooms more often. This time, I specially chose the river-view rooms. The hotel facilities are a little old-fashioned but very clean, warm and comfortable. Especially, it is equipped with a coffee machine and slippers, providing convenience for business travelers. During my stay, a typhoon occurred. However, the hotel still provided a sumptuous breakfast. The staff at the front desk and the restaurant were very enthusiastic in their service. I would like to express my gratitude!
Response from Property: Bonjour,Thank you for taking the time to share your experience at Sofitel Gold Coast Broadbeach. We are delighted to hear that you appreciated our prime location and the comfort of our river-view rooms.

The only thing that annoyed me was that it’s a 5 star property, and with that I expect them to provide a bath robe (for use on property) and complimentary toiletries in the bathroom.
The only bathrobe that I saw was one you needed to purchase for around $130.
The toiletries were bulk pump bottles.
The hotel lacked the 5 star touch.
Response from Property: Bonjour,Thank you for sharing your feedback. I sincerely apologise that certain elements of your stay, such as the absence of complimentary bathrobes and the toiletries provided, did not meet your expectations for a five-star experience. We have moved away from the smaller amenities using single use plastic to align to our sustainability promises as a global company. At Sofitel, we strive to offer refined touches that make every stay memorable, and your comments have been shared with our management team for review. Please be assured we are continually evaluating ways to enhance our guest amenities and overall service.We truly appreciate your honest observations and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for an experience that fully reflects the luxury standards of Sofitel.Merci,Alex BarkGeneral Manager

Excellent location, literally all of the restaurants and cafes of broadbeach within walking distance. The room was clean and spacious, with a bath - my fave. The ocean view was gorgeous, and I got a really good rate, if I can get that rate again I'll definitely be back!

We travelled to the Gold Coast for our wedding, and decided to stay in Sofitel Broadbeach, a hotel we stayed our first visit to the Gold Coast together. This time however, we also recommended our families to stay in the hotel too.
The stay was brilliant. Did not disappoint. We were met with champagne on entry, and had some special surprises in our room for our special occasion. The staff were so kind and gave the best recommendations to our parents while staying with the hotel.
The front service member Michael, from the US, was a credit to the team and went well above the call of his duty for our week we stayed.
Thank you Sofitel for the memories and the treasured time at your resort. Not only did you provide us with an excellent location and comfortable stay, but you recognized the importance of our visit.
