the units are brand-new, extremely pleasant with an amazing view, fully carpeted.

The staff members were extremely friendly and gentle, we received great service. A double room was brand-new and good-sized had down pillows.

I recently stayed at a luxurious 4-star hotel near shopping malls and restaurants. The location was perfect, right in the heart of the city and facing the stunning waterfront. The staff here were exceptional - so friendly and helpful. They made sure I had everything I needed during my stay. The rooms were spotlessly clean and the bed was incredibly comfortable, providing a great night's sleep. The hotel also had a fantastic range of amenities, including a well-equipped gym and a beautiful pool with breathtaking views of the city and the sea.

All in all, I had a wonderful experience at this hotel. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and luxurious stay.

Courteous staff and good location in the city center.

Beste place to stay in Florianopolis

my stay at the hotel was amazing! The staff were super attentive and spoke English, which was a huge help. The location was great, close to the airport and city center. The room was spacious with a partial sea view and the showers were fantastic. Definitely recommend!

The hotel has a very good location , the ocean front rooms are very good, excelent bed and pillows. Very clean. The stuff are very kind.

The towels were very old. The breakfast could be much better for a 5 star hotel.The internet shoul be free.

With the Sofitel brand you can expect a certain clean modern decor and comfort and we were not disappointed. The room was excellent. This hotel would be best for people on business, or for those that want to shop or go to the restaurants in town. The rooftop pool is quite small but great view. We were able to get food served at the pool--pizza was very good. The gym is medium in size, but was not crowded and has everything that you need for a good work out. This hotel is about a 30 min ($30) cab ride to Jurere beach and 20 min ($20) to Mole beach/lagoon which are in different directions, so some might consider this quite central if you are planning to travel to different beaches.

Although it is on the water, there are about 6 lanes of traffic separating you from the water. There is no real beach, but there is a path for walking/running on the waterfront. We ended up moving hotels (to the Il Campanario Hotel on Jurere beach, 30 min drive north) because we wanted to be on the beach. However, for the business traveler the Sofitel is probably an excellent choice.

The breakfast at Novotel was simply outstanding. They had an amazing variety of delicious food, from sweet treats to savory options. It was definitely a great way to start the day.

During our stay, we had a small issue with the pool being closed. However, the receptionist was very understanding and offered a sincere apology.

Very good location. Comfortable rooms.

Staff not always friendly. Wi-fi too expensive, it could be free considering the price of the hotel.

Cleanliness was immaculate staff helpful

That if you want to go to a nice beach for the day then you have to get a taxi, we were told no buses go directly so we had to fork out for taxis everyday.

Great vacation experience!

Located just across the street from the beach, the hotel has an amazing view. The staff was super friendly and always ready to help us with anything we needed. We enjoyed the free Wi-Fi and the comfortable beds were perfect for a good night's sleep. The breakfast buffet was delicious with a variety of fruits and pastries to choose from.

Few amenities.

Location was great, close by to shopping centres, restaurants and bars. Attention and going the extra mile for the customer was good as well.

The value of this hotel is not so good. I'm pretty sure that other hotels can do the same for about 60% of the price, especially if you have breakfast.

Would love to come back here some time, our experience was awesome. It is perfect venue in a marvellous location by the waterfront, the services it offers are excellent. The staff is always cheerful, and the breakfast is awesome...

The hotel had a great breakfast with fresh fruits and local delicacies! We were pleasantly surprised with the complementary drinks and snacks in the room. The location couldn't be better, right in the heart of the action and walking distance to all the trendy restaurants and bars. We also enjoyed the rooftop terrace with stunning views of the bay.

The room was a bit small, and the noise from the street can be heard at night. The gym was also quite limited, with only a few machines and no weights.
