Sofitel Gold Coast Broadbeach

10/10 Excellent
"I really like this Sofitel property hotel . because of its proximity to public transport: a bus stops right out front, and the tram station is just a three-minute walk away. It is also only a five-minute walk to the beach and a fifteen-minute walk to the shopping centre , I was very pleased with my stay and will certainly return in the future"
