The Sofitel in Abu Dhabi offers a high-quality hotel experience, especially thanks to its beautiful suites. The one we stayed in was truly stunning—spacious, elegantly decorated, with a very comfortable bed and a great view of either the city or the waterfront, depending on the location. The overall ambiance of the hotel is nice and refined, living up to the Sofitel brand’s reputation.
The service throughout our stay was good. Staff members were friendly, professional, and always ready to assist. Check-in was smooth, and we felt well taken care of from beginning to end.
However, a small downside was the buffet offered with the half-board option. While the variety of food was good and the quality quite decent, the atmosphere of the buffet restaurant felt a bit too much like a canteen. We would have appreciated a more refined setting and a better presentation of the dishes to match the elegance of the rest of the hotel.
The hotel pool is lovely—well-maintained and perfect for relaxing. That said, it’s important to remember that this is a city hotel, so it lacks the beachfront charm of resorts located by the sea. Still, it’s a great choice for a comfortable and stylish city stay.
