I love the pool. Room was comfortable. Location convenient

Stayed in May 2025

The service tended to be a bit more relaxed than other 5 star properties.

The grand lobby, bar and outside garden are very appealing!

The dry cleaning service is very very bad They never answer the telephone and they delay my clothes two days I had to fight to get my clothes back as I was travelling and checking out

Food is very good gym and spa is excellent

Stayed in February 2025

No spa in the hotel, only sauna.

The buffet, the Algerian local food, lamb mechoui, the Hamoud and Selecto drinks, the Algerian tea and dates. The Hamma Garden (must visit if you go there). The swimming pool. The view from my room was marvellous.

Nothing

I loved the fact that it’s right by the garden it’s so convenient and also it gives an amazing charm to the whole resort. The breakfast is very good, French pastries are excellent and the fruits are so tasty. I have to completely disagree with all the previous comments my room was very neat, bed and bathroom linens were high quality and cleaned perfectly everything available ( hair dryer, bathroom robe towels, shampoo and shower gel). Same for the staff i would like to thank them and encourage them this hotel is excellent and they are doing an amazing job to make us feel welcome.

Good location

Bathroom functions were difficult- you could not turn the change between shower and bath easily

There should be discount vouchers for guests to use for breakfast or dining as an incentive to eat at the hotel and specifically to fill up empty spaces.

Didn't have breakfast but used the bar area together with my wife. Found the bar staff courteous and very professional. The reception and Customer Relation staff always attentive when needed. We liked and used the Jardin d'Essai botanical garden. very convenient for guests.

My room had a terrace with wicker chairs, but because of pigeons, this area could do with a thorough clean to be useable. Eating in the hotel is not cheap - a couple of beers at the bar, a caesar salad and a cheese plate to follow will set you back €75 - so European pricing, but good quality. But these are small points in relation to what became a five day stay due to a flight cancellation.

Let's put the wonderful Sofitel in context (I'm sure they won't mind1). If you want 5 star luxe in Algiers, you have the choice of El Aurassi, high on a windy hill above the city with great views, but you can't easily walk anywhere. It's a government and business joint and shows little care for the individual traveller. Or there's the wonderful old Hotel St George, set back above the city in splendid gardens with all the history you'd expect of a place that hosted Churchill and Eisenhower amongst many other notables, celebrities and stars. Or you have the Sofitel Algiers Hamma Garden, which is fab. Why? Great rooms, with Sofitel's world renowned beds, mattress toppers, and the softest linens. Great staff - every single member of staff greets you in the morning, asks if you are enjoying your stay, offers to help. Great breakfast - in fact a stupendous feast of choices (which certain travellers take ridiculous advantage of! I've never seen anyone anywhere take a fork to a newly sliced tray of melon, slide it under the centre of each and lift around a dozen slices to his plate. Selfish, greedy and disgusting!) Great pool, half outside, half under cover, with ample loungers and towels, and a supergluing gym and fitness area including sauna that puts most hotel gyms to shame. Great location, adjacent the Jardin d'Essai with its 'French style' and 'English style' landscaping, and a flight of steps that takes you up to the Metro (just 4 stops to the City Centre for just 50 DZD), and to the Musee des Beaux Arts. I simply don't know what more you could ask for in a perfect Algiers stay.

The view onto Hamma Gardens was spoiled somewhat by windows that need a clean. The bath suffered from age and was stained in places. Breakfast was very good as stated but pricey. The bar allows smoking and they serve open bowls of peanuts which would be a problem for peanut allergy sufferers.

Breakfast was very good with a wide variety of cooked and cold options. Fruit was plentiful

European pricing in restaurants.

Lovely property with great staff and excellent facilities. Nice to have some comfort after a few weeks travelling around Algeria. Close to metro so easy to get around.

The proximity of the Sofitel hotel to the Hamma botanical garden, to the sea, to the city center of Algiers, to the fine arts museum and to the metro station was wonderful!
