Sofitel Strasbourg Grande Déception

I must say that I am always surprised to see Sofitels in such bad condition.

Yes, it is a good think that hotel management tries to rectify things. But it would be even better than a so-called luxury brand makes sure such issues (basic maintenance) never happen.

Sofitels in France (outside Paris) are far from international luxury standards in terms of room size (25 sqm a luxury room?!?), interior design (please, Accor management, build a real design team; stop with Ligne Roset; visit for example http://www.conservatoriumhotel.com/ to understand what good design is) and architecture (there are some very good example of smart renovation for ugly 60s buildings).
