My stay at Sofitel Beijing Central was mostly pleasant, though I did face some challenges. The location was convenient, allowing easy access to the city, and my room, with a stunning view and luxurious amenities, made my experience enjoyable. However, the breakfast service was overcrowded at times and not fully satisfactory. Overall, I would recommend this hotel for its quality and comfort but note some areas could use improvement.
