Michelle from Hong Kong
Couple
Classic King Bed Room
Stayed 2 nights in May 2017
Convenient location, clean, friendly staff”
Great location, 5 mins walk to sky train, 10 mins walk to Dubai Mall & Burj Khalifa. Room was spacious n clean. F&B was good. The only complaint was joining the hotel group tour called "Planet" to the desert safari. The tour driver was very unfriendly n he drove rough during the whole journey. Some of us feel motion sickness. And the ATV we ride at the desert was not in good condition n we have to ask few times for refreshments which was included in our tour package. Unpleasant experience with "Planet"

Classic King Bed Room
Stayed 2 nights in December 2016
Over priced - especially during Dec end”
We made a booking in this hotel especially because the hotel is close to Burj Khalifa and hence, we thought it would be convenient with a young child to watch new year fireworks from the open air pool there. Before making the booking we had checked this from the staff over a call and paid a handsome amount to stay in the hotel for 2 nights (30th and 31st Dec). All of it with the objective of letting us enjoy the fireworks from the comfort of hotel in less crowd. To our huge disappointment, the hotel had a new year party in the pool area on 31st evening, and in the morning we were told that hotel guests enjoy free entry there while in the evening, the entry was denied saying that it is paid! We argued mentioning that if they had told us before, we probably would not have stayed there (paying the crazy amount) and would have just paid to get access to the party (which was at least 4 times less). They didn't listen and thankfully, my husband booked a table in one of the restaurants in Dubai Mall and we could enjoy amazing view comfortably from there. However, we felt that there wasn't a need to stay in this hotel then and we could have stayed in another decent hotel at may be one third the price, booked a table in the restaurant at Dubai Mall and it would be the same experience in one third the price. We raised it to the manager while checking out and she was the only good thing in this whole experience at Sofitel. She listened to us and offered us to waive off somethings and also offered a better rate whenever we visit the hotel next (if at all we do now!)

Klaus from Saudi Arabia
Business traveler
Premium King Bed
Stayed 2 nights in February 2017
Premium Hotel with premium price but some small issues (service almost too much)”
Touch sensors for light not correctly working (switching on: yes; switching off: no). Had to go to the main switch to shut off lights. Why are hotels using these overcomplicated pseudo- modern switches, that are never working ( same experience in other hotels: part of them is always malfunctioning). Big issue: no power outlet at bedside tables (charging iPhone and using it for alarm). Only one poshy power/media outlet console in the room is not enough nowadays! Window (view to Burj Khalifa) was very dirty. Photos look like from a dirty hotel. Service was almost overdone. I can handle my tiny 15' trolley easily myself. Too many stuff waiting outside just to open doors of cars. Keep cleaning background staff but do some cost saving with all the service staff around the reception.
