Great Location, Facilities and Fantastic Staff”
I have been coming to Dubai for the last 10years and stayed at many Hotels but Sofitel Downtown and the one at JBR is by far the best one in terms of the Room layout, Facilities and location at both spots. I would also like to mention that your employee Meru at Sofitel Downtown was fantastic, very professional and helpful and made our stay a lot more pleasant with her assistance at all times. You need to hire more staff like Meru. I believe she is from Kazakhstan.
Excellent stay”
Everything in Dubai is expensive, but if you can afford this hotel, don't think about it - just book it! Excellent modern hotel, with more-than-amazing views of Downtown Dubai and Burj Khalifa. Location great as well - close metro station and short tunnel walk to Dubai Mall and Burj Khalifa. And as a bonus, they were nice to let me in the room at 9AM after red-eye-flight. Great staff!
Excellent hotel.. superb customer services”
Hotel location is number 1.. next to dubai mall train station (2 min walk only).. clean hotel, they clean the room twice a day without calling them.. staff are very friendly.. i was guided by a good lady called "Ruby" from day one the staff will never forget your name and they will come to ask you if you need anything whenever they see you walking in the lobby.. staff will always walk you to the hotel resturant, lounges, taxi if you are leaving, swimming pool area. Basically they will never let you go by your own by directing you only (always escort you to the places you are for).. this is top services that we would like to see everywhere.. thanks sofitel staff for making my trip exciting

Brand new,atractively furnished hotel.”
Very comfortable hotel with a great breakfast,very attentive staff and a fabulous pool with heart stopping view of the Burj Khalifa.Our room was very smartly appointed with plenty of cupboard space and room for 2 suitcases to be accessed.It had a comfortable bath, good wifi and coffee machine.We stayed once and then returned to Dubai 3 weeks later and chose to stay there again.It was an easy covered walk to the Dubai Mall,the metro station and we had a good view of the water fountains.I would like to especially mention the chief concierge, Devanand who who put himself out to help us in a tricky situation.
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!)
Fantastic Staff”
We were greeted by Stella at reception and she was fantastic, very helpful and professional. We felt very welcome and she went out of her way to accommodate our requests. Please convey my sincere thank to her. Her professionalism is a credit to your organization and I will highly recommend the Sofitel chain to all my Business partners and contact when they visit Dubai
Great location”
I stayed at his hotel during the low season of Jun when the pricing was considerably cheap making excellent value for money, The hotel location is within a walking distance from Dubai metro station and Dubai mall. Except for the bed, the rests were excellent. I found the spring bed wasn't comfortable.

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"

My fiance and I loved our time spent at the Sofitel Downtown. The staff were extremely attentive and friendly. The views are stunning and the can't beat the location. We can't wait to come back and stay here again.
Great hotel”
I love this hotel especially with their service; Wilson (the bus driver) and the Indonesian Bellman didnt get his name. But their service are remarkable!! Will definitely stay here again when we visit dubai next time. Although walking to the mall will take around 15 - 20 mins depending how fast you walk.
Dear Guest, Thank you very much for sharing with us your positive review and for mentioning Wilson and our Bellman, we will definitely share this good news to the team. We are looking forward for another magnifique stay with us. Sincerely, Your Sofitel Dubai Downtown Team
One of the best I've stayed in”
Check in was a breeze. Room was crisp and clean. I like the Lanvin toiletries. However they're not friendly but strict on check out time. No free late check out compared to other premier hotels in Dubai that I've stayed in before.
Amazing, Wonderful, Perfect”
It was one of the best stay at all. The staff were very friendly. The location is amazing which is in the middle of the city. Very close to Dubai mall and Burj Khalifa. The food is international and everything is available. The internet is free of charge all over the hotel.
Nice place to stay”
Good location, just next to the Dubai mall station! All the staff are very friendly, initiative and informative. They always carry lovely smiles and take initiative to approach the customers! Quick check in and check out! Really nice hotel to stay with!
Good Location & Spacious Room”
The hotel is next to Dubai Mall metro station. There is a bridge taking 15 min walk to Dubai Mall. Suitable for family.

Near dubai mall and metro station”
Pros: Very close to metro station which is very convenient, also close to the bus station where etihad coach drops off Convenient walk to Dubai mall Breakfast selection was decent Nice pool Cons: Water pressure in toilet is low, expect minimal shower pressure Overall: Would come back again.
Another New Spot in Dubai”
I like the location as you can walk to dubai mall, easy access to Sheik Zayed Road . I was upgraded to a suite so love the toilettres in the suites and the bed is fabulous. Along with Nespresso machines in the rooms . For me these are the things that make me feel like at home so its perfect
