Corporate Greed Cancels guest bookings. Have had a room booked for months. Suddenly a call saying “sorry we’ve decided to extend our contract with the Government to be a quarantine hotel…don’t care about you as a loyal tiered member of Accor - go find someplace else. We won’t be helping you at all”. All in all disgusting contempt for booked guests. Handled with no care or empathy nor concern for guests already booked to stay. Now forced to stay at inferior Accor property 5 KMS away. They wouldn’t even consider a property behind them, Peppers which is closer to the 5 stars they are. You should be ashamed Sofitel Broadbeach and Accor!

Staying at this hotel for two weeks the rooms are decent and have a balcony there’s a set menu for what you eat every day and if you don’t like it it’s pretty much bad luck I very politely phone reception and said that I don’t eat what’s on today’s menu and was told you were in hotel quarantine and it’s a set menu it doesn’t matter that I’m paying $940 for this food for two weeks my choice is to eat what they give me or go without when the lady from the kitchen rang she very quickly reminded me that we are in hotel quarantine she made me feel like we were in jail so have skipped a lot of meals at this hotel because the quality the food isn’t great all the time and there’s no alternative pretty sad to be treated this way and it’s very dishearteningIt’s not like we’re bringing up and expecting them to cook us fresh food or anything it’s pretty sad the humans could treat another human this way If anyone is hotel quarantine look into the food that you’re gonna get served go to the Facebook pages and have a look at the food as all the guests uploading pictures of the food that all the hotels give them it’s a big eye-opener The food is an utter disgrace by the time we get to the room it is stone cold don’t do complain or you get treated like a worthless doesn’t matter but I mental health for being locked in here in the first place…

While hotel quarantine is not ideal, I had a great experience at the Sofitel in Broadbeach. I think my photos speak for themselves - amazing ocean views, balcony for pilates and yoga, and amazing fresh and healthy food. I have detailed dietaries requirements and the food service staff always managed to make me something delicious and provided lots of variety. The hotel staff were so helpful. I called them at all times of the day with a myriad of requests. They were always so polite and helpful, and attended to my queries as best they could, even though they were so busy. I was able to get a microwaves from them which was great. The room itself is plenty big enough for one. A king bed, a massive desk (which was required considering I worked remotely), a big tv, a huge bathroom with bathtub and amazing balcony to watch sunrise and sunset.…

We have just finished our 14 day government enforced quarantine at Sofitel Broadbeach Queensland. Everyone said “oh wow” you are lucky. We were in one respect, that we had a balcony and that was a bonus. The staff that we had contact with were helpful and friendly with any questions. The room was an adequate size for 2 people, no microwave, toaster etc. you only have a small kettle in the room. But I have 2 main complaints. Guests are required to change their own bed linen, when I removed the pillow slip there was a big clump of long black hair stuck to the pillow. (My bad I did not take a photo) The shower screen was absoluty filthy and has obviously not been properly cleaned in a long time (see photo). I was under the impression that rooms were throughly cleaned and sterlised after each quarantine guest. Makes you wonder if this is part of the problem with why quarantine infections are occuring. Are there any checks in place to ensure the cleaning is actually done to some standard? Below is taken from a Australian Government Covid information page: Cleaning and disinfecting are two different processes: > Cleaning means physically removing germs, dirt and organic matter from surfaces. > Disinfecting means using chemicals or steam to kill germs on surfaces. > It is important to clean before disinfecting because organic matter and dirt can reduce the ability of disinfectants to kill germs. My other complaint is the disgusting meals that are served almost everyday. You do have a choice of meals, whatever is left at the door is it. The only other alternative is to order from outside and pay again. I have checked other quarantine guest reviews going back to November last year, also complaining about the meals served here, obviously nothing has been resolved. If you don’t like chicken you will starve as the majority of lunch and dinner meals were chicken. On one occasion we were served a meat pie and sauce for lunch and a Hamburger and chips for dinner, must be the most expensive take away I have ever consumed! Hamburgers were served twice during our stay, both times the mince was undercooked. Excuse me but we are paying $130 a day for this food, we are not freeloading! On another occastion we did not get breakfast, my husband rang reception and they said they would check, ten minutes later breakfast was delivered… 1 bowl of muesli and 1 banana, my husband again rang reception to explained there were two of us in the room. "Oh sorry, but breakfast service has finished, we will give you an extra wrap for lunch. Most of the meals arrived luke warm and looked and tasted the same, I found one review that stated that the chef is Sofitel’s, if that is the case they need to go back to culinary school and do a refresher course. If it is a catering company they should be sacked immediatley!…

Dear Rens, I have bitten my tongue for long enough but after nearly two weeks, I have to say something! The Sofitel, what a complete and utter disgrace, the food is the worst food I have ever been served in my life, and it is served cold to add insult to injury. The food delivered to the room must be outsourced, because, after 20 years in hospitality, I do not know any chef who would serve the food to anybody, not even their dog. I have to get food delivered from Woolworths and Uber eats to survive, because the food served is overcooked, cold, with no nutritional value. And the funniest part is, I am paying for it, so the joke really is on me. The whole time through this pandemic, there have been profiteers, ambulance chasers, making money off the public purse, while the public loses everything…………………….it appears Accor group falls into the profiters sector! Your hotel really makes a mockery of the “Our Group promotes a holistic approach to wellness” branding mumbo jumbo you put all over your company websites. What it should say is” Accor, ripping off the public while locked in their room".…

Minutes from beautiful chic Broadbeach with a myriad of food / beverage outlets around, plus casino, surf club & light rail it’s a fantastic location. Efficient nice staff, room (good size) & facilities a little dated & not up to a Sofitel standard, hence neg point.

I felt lucky arriving off our flight from Melbourne and being told we are quarantining at the Sofitel Broadbeach- The view is amazing, feel very blessed to have access to fresh air. Unfortunately having meals arrive at your door looking like this.... I’d like to hear any convincing strategies you could use to convince 3kids to eat these meals. Also have an issue regarding an anaphylactic allergy we have in the room, it was “noted” on arrival but products containing allergen still packaged and in every meal bag.... that’s a life and death scenario that could of been avoided. And... we’re Covid negative and my husband can’t even Collect a bag of our laundry and take it home to do it? Because our stuff must stay in our room for the entire 14 incubation period- but hang on it gets better.... you can pay $2.50 per laundry item to be washed here at the hotel...🤷🏼♀️ go figure What happened to no smoking on the balconies? All I can smell is cigarette smoke coming into my room. Why isn’t this being policed? Such a good look- rules for some and not for others.... …
