The property is a wonderful hotel with great facilities. The room we had is a very nice a luxury king room. We were due to arrive very early on the day of our arrival and were forced to pay for an extra full day, I understand the need to control access but some extra charge would be acceptable but really book and pay for a full extra day? We had a clubroom, excellent breakfast and we enjoyed the afternoon tea one day and all was great. The evening drinks are a very extreme disappointment. The drinks are ok but the nibbles are as bad as we have ever experienced in a club lounge. There are No cheese and crackers, nuts or anything else to choose yourself. The canapés are very bad with a heavy seafood influence but it’s the worst imaginable, one wonders if the chefs ever taste what they dish up, obviously not. 3 nights in a row and nothing edible, so disappointing. The club lounge is a lovely lounge with great views, but if you enjoy your evening’s forget it there are much better options. The staff need some serious training in drink service. Such a disappointment as we were recommended for the lounge. What a let down. …

Hotel's Favourite
Been coming to this beautiful hotel for years, this time for 21 nights spread over 5 weeks mostly weekdays from August to end of September 2022. You are made welcome as soon as you step out of the car with arrival staff providing assistance with luggage and my wife and I being whisked to the 51st Floor for check-in at the Millésime Lounge. There we are usually met by Club Manager Rachelle and her very able supervisor team of Charm, Jashir and new member Angelica. They are complimented by Joe and Vishnu and other new team members. The breakfast service (try the Obelisk Omelette), the afternoon tea and evening canapés with drinks are presented very well by the chef and his background team all while viewing over the whole of Dubai from the 51st Floor. Had wonderful 'rooms' once again during our stays on the 45th and 46th floor and as a Diamond Member the amenities are always welcome and so is the housekeeping service provided by Tanaji, Kumari, Sujitha, Ajoy, Sunny, Syita, Ren and Venkatesan looking after us from morning till late evening along with their towel creations. Also had help from Sampath and Bashkar in Laundry / Tailoring. Down at the pool Arman is always there to give a hand along with the rest of the pool team from lifeguards to bar staff. The pool was pretty nippy at 28deg C with temperature above 42deg C for most days and took some getting used too! We had booked our stay prior to a close family member bereavement but the help given from GM Mr Luciano Fontana and his very helpful Director of Operations Mr Joe Nassoura in making our stay exceptional really helped us, my wife especially after an emotional start. All in all a wonderful stay at an exceptional hotel. We look forward to being refreshed again on our return in Feb 2023…

We are a regular guest of Sofitel since they open last 2021. My kids love this hotel because the staff are very kind and friendly. Infact last year we had a blast. All the staff were amazing and they always ensure that we are being taken care of. This year was horrible. When we came we were not recognised. The receptionist french lady who assisted us was OK but also didn't acknowledge our Accor status. Room service took forever to deliver our food. Concierge asian guy encounter was also not pleasant, he cannot answer our inquiry smartly, he seems lost. And pool people are delayed with the service. This is a very disappointing experience and for us, we totally change our perception of this hotel. It's very sad that only 3 years and service was so down. Well never come back anymore.…
