Sofitel Dubai Jumeirah Beach Hotel

The hotel was the BEST I've ever stayed at. All the staff were extremely courteous and friendly. The whole hotel was luxurious and spotless. The food was delicious. The room was the height of luxury and the king size bed!!! Breakfast on the club floor was great, breakfast on the main floor was immense. Pool is fantastic, though could do with a little make-over. Loved the pool bar and staff were always on hand to assist with towels etc.

The staff is amazing from housekeeping to the doorman and the reservation desk. The hotel is clean and we'll maintain. The balcony views are fantastic of the beach and restaurants, shops, etc. The hotel is close to the Dubai Tram (Jumeriah Residence 2 stops) and you can easily transfer to the metro and get anywhere in Dubai. My room was quaint. It was perfect for one person. It would have been a tight squeeze for two or more people. The bed was extremely comfortable. The Con to the room was the toilet area is very tight. Anyone over 5'5 or 200lbs would not be able to use the toilet area in my particular room. The shower and pressure was good. Be careful hot water gets scalding hot. I would recommend the hotel due to the staff and location along with the cleanliness of the hotel.

I was really impressed with this hotel, check in staff were fantastic when we arrived, really pleasant, helpful and knowledgeable, and made us feel at ease straightaway. He gave us a room on the 25th floor, which was high up, but had lovely views of the beach and sea. Rooms were really really nice, had a lovely big bath which had sliding doors into the bedroom if you wanted to open up the room a bit. Also has Bluetooth sound system if you want to connect your phone or tablet etc to play music. Has all the stuff you need, robes, slippers, hairdryer, iron etc, honestly couldn't fault the room. Only slight complaint, but very slight, was the amount of beds and large cushions in the pool area. I'd say for the size of the hotel the pool area is a bit small, but still nothing too bad. Pool is lovely, swim up bar, and beautiful views, worth spending a day in there. WiFi is excellent in all parts of the hotel, is free, and unlimited. Whilst it's a big hotel, feels very personal, and all the staff are fantastic, if I went back to Dubai (which we are planning too in the next year or so) we'll definitely book back up for here.

Beautiful big clean room with great views and all the comforts you could ask for. Great pool with views and excellent location. The turn down service was an unexpected but lovely touch!
