I did not enjoy my stay at this property. I expected a lot better quality of stay at a Sofitel. I was moved to three different rooms during my stay because the beds were so bad. I took pictures and videos of the mattresses and filed a formal complaint. The amenities are nice but the rooms are outdated, poor quality, and terrible beds.

The hotel served its purpose, could have been better. Also very windy on the pool level especially if dining outside due to private events inside the restaurant. Also position of the pool doesn't get too much sun during the day. Also some hotel website details don't match up to what they actually do in the hotel. ie: resturant open and close times

Extended Business Stay

Stayed at Sofitel Corniche for 10 days and then a further 4 days after a quick trip to Riyadh. The room for the first stay was on the 23rd floor, facing the sea and was spacious and well fit out. The room on the 10th floor for the 2nd stay (4 days) was smaller and had broken fridge but otherwise similar. Both rooms has extensive facilities (bath, shower, toilet, wardrobe and cupboard space, jug, etc The bed was very comfortable in both rooms. There are a variety of cafes and restaurants in the building and I think I tried all of them at various times. Breakfast on the Ground florr had an enormous selection catering for all types of diet. The Thai Restaurant was very good as was the poolside bar and food. If I go back to Abu Dhabi I would definitely stay here.
