Sofitel Algiers Hamma Garden

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.

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.

This is a great hotel with a good location. The staff are very friendly and are really doing their best for you to have a good stay. Swimming pool has the best possible view of the Makam Shahid. And it’s an amazing location with the jardin d’essai entry directly from the hotel. Food was ok with pretty good options in the morning. I’ll come back there next time I’m in Algiers

I loved the hotel. I do not understand why the total score is so low. The hotel is excellent. The rooms are comfortable and clean. The staff is well trained and very hospitable. The food is delicious (but the club sandwich in the bar could be better). The breakfast is plentiful and delicious. Managers whom I have seen on site welcomed me and wished a good stay. The staff at the reception is so helpful and professional. There is an entrance to a botanical garden and it’s very convenient. I traveled to more than 100 countries, staying in the best hotels and I may say that this hotel meets all standards of 5* hotel. The only problem is that I wanted to stay here one more night on my way back but the hotel is fully booked on this day.

Sofitel hotel is the best ,the personel in the smylie and good helpest my room number 412 is verry good clean , the lounge food and personel both are eccelent . Nothing to say more only thank's for all the algiers sofitel hotel personel.
