Great hotel, great location, a few issues
The positives:
* Spotless hotel, in great condition
* Large spotless room that had a view (floor to ceiling) on the Burj Khalifa
* Large bathroom with separate shower, toilets, bathtub
* Plenty of drinking filtered water provided in the room each day (4 bottles)
* Large swimming pool on top of adjacent car park (on 5th floor), with a view of downtown. Plenty of loungers and shadow. Half of the pool is heated
* Hotel location: 2 min walk to the metro station (red line, that go to many places like the Marina, Museum of the Future or Airport)
* 2 min walk to a covered air conditioned walkway that goes all the way to Dubai mall (15 min walk). Can also walk to the Dubai Mall/Burj Khalifa at street level in 15 min
* The hotel steakhouse was very good and reasonably priced
* Very polite and friendly staff
* Short distance to the airport (20 min by taxi, maybe 40 min by metro)
The negatives:
* Swimming pool had limited hours because of Ramadan (closing at 5pm rather than 8pm). I would probably have booked elsewhere if I had known in advance, as it's nice to go for a swim after a long hot day of sightseeing
* The breakfast room looks tired, dated furniture (quite different from the rest of the hotel), quite cramped/busy. Breakfast selection is quite good. Not sure why they fail to have enough cups for coffee/tea each day and have to use paper cups instead. Seats are too deep/not comfortable to have food
* No dressing code enforced during breakfast. I saw some men wearing swimwear and sandals/t-shirts
* Fairly low water pressure in the shower. Bathtub takes 15 min to fill
* Room doesn't have much storage available. Most of my items stayed in the suitcase
* Bed is not as soft as the standard Sofitel ones
