Checked in on New Year's Eve when pretty much all traffic was shut down. The hotel staff was very welcoming and gracious. Amazing hotel with a big and delicious breakfast. Walking distance to Dubai Mall and Burj Khalifa. They have a couple restaurants and nightclub on premise. Definitely a MUST stay in Dubai.

My wife and I recently returned from our vacation in Dubai. We had a wonderful stay at Sofitel Downtown Dubai. Everyone we interacted with was friendly and helpful. The entire reception team and breakfast staff were amazing. I would like to highlight a few people who made our stay pleasant. Nebil, Si Thu, Carlo, Vesta, Winnie, Joy, May and Mustafa. We specifically traveled to Dubai to celebrate the New Year, and we were delighted to learn about the hotel hosting a New Year’s Eve Gala. The event was magnificent, down to every detail! The entire staff worked diligently to put on such an amazing event! There was a world-class spread to satisfy everyone’s taste palate! We loved the entire event! Thank you for a wonderful stay and the unforgettable New Year’s celebration!

Surely not a two star hotel
The hotel needs renovation and to be more clean in common areas. The breakfast is terrible and is at the level of 2 star hotel. Finally the restaurants and bars are of a no star hotel
