Good service, amazing room. Didn't like all the birds by the pool area, wasn't told about dining options/what's available in the hotel in term of restaurants etc. Wasn't told a out amenities - just lack of information upon check in. No one helped hey a taxi, they just wanted me to get their overpriced service. All in all a nice service but a bit lacking in some areas.

I always enjoy my stays at Sofitels Worldwide! The 2 bedroom suite was enormous, nice and clean. The decor can use a revamp throughout the communal areas, especially the reception. The room decor was simple and fun. Wish I took pictures to show. The pool was very dated but very clean with a cool overall atmosphere. Service is also always great at Sofitel Worldwide, but i expected a much better experience as a VIP Expedia Gold Member. None of the perks were offered, especially since I chose Sofitel for its affiliation with Expedia VIP. All in all, it was a nice experience and the easy access to the mall, though it's through the public metro skywalk was convenient should there be a lot of traffic.

Very convenient for Dubai mall and Burj khalifa with great views of the Burj from the pool. We had a room facing out to the coast with great views over the flatter side of the city with the burj el Arab, the palm and the world islands visible in the distance. Breakfast was also very good with options for gluten free and a good selection of fruit, I would like to see allergen information for gluten on the cards for the cooked food though instead of having to ask.
