Great hotel - excellent service, great breakfast, outstanding Indian restaurant. Pool was good but in need of a facelift... otherwise an excellent stay and would thoroughly recommend.

For the money we paid we expected something way worse. Spent over a week there and can not say anything wrong about it at all. Staff were fantastic. Very friendly and happy to help. I would specially like to mention the little cleaner guy on level 19. He was brilliant. And also the valet parking team. What a nice bunch of guys. Answer every question. everything they recommended worked out to be a really good place. (Restaurants/beach.....) All in all don't hesitate. If you're in Abu Dhabi is a...

The staff cannot do enough for you! Nothing is a problem. The room was immaculate every day. The restaurants were amazing and the Stratos Bar on the top floor was AMZAZING! Our daily cleaner was Suleiman for our room and he was soon polite it was unreal. As we're ALL the staff. One of the BEST hotels I have ever stayed in. I would Highly recommend it!

A very nice experience with no complaints. Hotel was near to the beach and malls and supermarkets, pharmacy, hospital etc and everything was in walking distance and minutes in a taxi.

There was a delay in my on-line booking coming through. However Youness and his colleagues at the reception went out of their way to get it sorted and ensure we had a great stay. The sauna/spa facilities were well looked after. Loved the stay.

We had never been to Abu Dhabi before, although had been to Dubai a couple of times. We looked at a few hotels before deciding on the Sofitel, based on other reviews that we'd read. When we got there, we were not disappointed. We had requested a room on a high floor, and mentioned that it was our wedding anniversary. We were welcomed with a drink at reception, and escorted to our room by the very attentive staff, and when we entered, we were stunned to see that the staff had prepared it with...

We stayed at this hotel on the 6th of January for 10 nights and it was a marvellous stay. Perfectly located in a nice area with good sound proofing. Behind the hotel is the Al wahda shopping complex with its great supermarket which has a bonus of selling hot food at reasonable prices. Right in front of the Al Rawda hotel is a bus stop and taxi pickup/drop off point. Fares are cheap and drivers are well experienced. Above all we felt safe and comfortable in Abu Dhabi.

The hotel is a perfect base from which to explore Abu Dhabi. Can find no fault with hotel. Staff helpful. Rooms kept spotless. Two bottles of water left in room daily. Did not eat often in hotel as daughter who is working in Abu Dhabi had organised places to go day and night. There is plenty to see and do. A shop that sells most things you might need is at the front door. Abu Dhabi is well spread out but this is not a negative statement as the layout design is impressive. Taxis are extremely...
