    Breakfast was varied, with a lot of options. However not very delicious and a lot of food not suitable for morning. A lot of heavy options like sausages, sauces, soups, baked vegetables or meat. The Fresh squized juice (a lot of healthy options) , omlette station and crepe station were my options each day.

    Big room and bathroom. The fresh juice maker was great. Awesome idea! Gym was really good equiped and really great for a hotel gym.

    There is nothing to dislike!

    Location to the metro, Dubai mall and Burj Khalifa. Amenities, comfort, service, fantastic breakfast, the pool, the sauna, the gym all amazing. Top notch service from the concierge team, housekeeping and reception. We first stayed at Sofitel downtown in 2019 and absolutely loved it. This time didn’t even consider any other hotel because this is prime location, so convenient and accessible via the metro to all the major sights. Covered aircon walkway to Dubai mall right outside the hotel, you can access by going into the metro station. Staff are so attentive and provide outstanding service. We had the club access which is well worth it! The afternoon tea and pre dinner canapés are very filling. Wonderful pool with a stunning view, all rooms are modern, clean and wonderfully appointed. Love their sauna and gym as well. Breakfast is one of the best I’ve ever tried. Can’t imagine staying anywhere else in Dubai.
