Bassem B. Business - 15/10/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

I had to extend my stay in Dubai but prices of Sofitel became very high. I had to change the hotel for only 2 nights. As an Accor member staying in the hotel, I expected to be able to extend 2 nights, at same rate or slightly higher rate. Actually rooms were available at Sofitel, but only at very high rate. Khaled and lamiaa were kind enough to allow a late check in in order to pack.

TripAdvisor rating 5.0/5

Jackson F Business - 25/08/2021 TripAdvisor review

The hotel is strategically located next to Burj Khalifah/Dubai Mall Metro Station and have an easy access to The Dubai Mall via a "Skywalk" bridge. It makes my stay very convenient. The taxi trip from Dubai International Airport Terminal 1 to Sofitel took about 20min. I was met with Mr. Hesham of the Bell/Concierge Service follow by the check in crews. All was smooth and in no time I was in my room. The check out process was also quick and smooth. My stay is initially planned for only 3 nights and should have move to another hotel. However, I extended my stay for another 4 nights until I leave Dubai because of the combinations of the location and the services of the hotel crew members I received. All of the hotel crews are amazing, from the time you walk in the hotel until you leave. I can't remember the name of some hotel crews I interacted but they are all great. Mr. Hesham help me to settle into the room during my arrival and gave me some good tips being first time travel to Dubai. Gave me great help each time I reach out to him during my stay. Mr. William of Concierge is very helpful in my entire stay. Crews from the L'APERO where I enjoy my evening cocktail, all the crews made you feel at home. Breakfast at Les Cuisines are remarkable. All staffs well trained and the food is good. My special commend to a female African staff member (sorry I did not get your name). She is really exceptional. Never missed my breakfast in my entire stay. A good way to start your day. When I extend my stay, the reservation department was very helpful and thoughtful. Mr. Ahkram and another female colleague (sorry I forgot your name) planned the best for me. I extended 2 times (2nights each time). At the front desk, Mr. Khaled and a few colleagues (sorry can't remember your name again) will make sure my room and my stay is very well taken care of. The housekeeping crew is also very professional. Definitely will return to Sofitel Downtown Dubai.

Dear Jackson F, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience on Trip advisor and for choosing to stay at Sofitel Dubai Downtown. It is great to know we were able to impressed you on your visit and our heartists have provided you with a remarkable services consistently during your stay with us.

We hope this pleasant experience will prompt you to pay us another visit in the near future and thank you for highly recommending our hotel. Sincerely yours, Caroline Trichet General Manager

Not my cup of tea

TripAdvisor rating 3.0/5

MarcoPolo_Lux Business - 21/08/2021 TripAdvisor review

When I arrived at the Hotel around 15h00, The All Platinum guest desk was not manned and I had to wait some time. Finally, I was told that the room was not ready. Can happen, in particular as it was a last-minute reservation. I was requested to wait in the lobby, but prior I had to pay for my stay, and to deposit a guarantee. No problem neither, but in general you pay once the room is available. I got my room around 16h00, no welcome words, no welcome drink, no explanation at all concerning the Hotel. Later on, at night, once back to the Hotel, I noticed that I only had 2 small bottles of water, an empty minibar, and 1 pair of towels (1 towel / 1 bath towel), and no bath rug. No problem, I used the wet bath towel once again. I guess you agree that this is not really Sofitel like, it is not what one can expect from a 5* Accor Hotel. Probably it is all because of Covid-19. After all quite a nice Hotel, but not my cup of tea.

Dear MarcoPolo_Lux, Thank you for choosing to stay at Sofitel Dubai Downtown and taking the time to write to us. The constructive feedback from our valued guest such as yourself is always greatly appreciated. I read your feedback with deep concern and I offer my sincere apologies for the shortfall in service that you have encountered. This certainly does not reflect the standard of service that guests expect when visiting a Sofitel hotel. Please be assured that this has been addressed with the relevant department head for necessary action. I do hope that we will have an opportunity to welcome you back and offer you a better service. Sincerely yours, Caroline Trichet General Manager

Nice hotel with impressive rooms and perfect location if you want to enjoy downtown. Depending on the side you have the room it can be a bit noisy, as one of the main roads is next to the hotel. Gym and Spa were nice and well equipped.

Unprofessional reservation Manager

sayedhaidar 19/02/2021 TripAdvisor review

I wanted to extend for more 1 week after staying 2 weeks based on the sent offer by Accor for 14 days. So instead of making price discount the Mgr gave a price of usd 225 per night to find out this price is higher than ur website and booking.com So I left and won't return to this hotel again

Dear sayedhaidar, Thank you for sharing your constructive feedback. We are truly disappointed to hear that we did not meet your expectations. We value your comments, which will assist us to identify areas of improvement. In this instance, we had hoped that our Reservations Team had been clear when sharing the package details with you. Nevertheless, please rest assured that your feedback has been taken on board and we will review the relevant arrangements that are made for your booking. We hope that you will give us another opportunity to serve you in the future. Sincerely yours, Caroline Trichet General Manager
