There was nothing to dislike.. Amazing location, staff were very attentive and special mention to duty manager Khushboo who was always super helpful when on the front desk. Great pool, room and bathroom was kept immaculate.. Worthy of its rating

The hotel has an excellent location in Downtown Dubai, making it very convenient to explore the city. The room itself was spacious, clean, comfortable and well maintained. These were definitely the highlights of my stay.
Unfortunately, the service did not meet my expectations for a five-star hotel.
Check-in: I had informed the hotel in advance that I would be arriving early, and they confirmed that this would be fine. I had also included an early check-in request in my reservation. However, I actually arrived later than the standard check-in time, and my room was still not ready. I had to wait approximately 35 minutes in the lobby.
Room amenities: Several amenities I would normally expect from a five-star hotel appeared to be missing, including a shaving kit, bathroom scale and hairdryer. When I requested a scale to weigh my suitcase, I was told that only a large scale was available downstairs at the lobby.
Pool service: This was by far the most disappointing aspect of my stay. I spent three days at the pool, and not once did a staff member approach me to ask whether everything was satisfactory or whether I wanted to order food or drinks. Every time I wanted something, I had to get up and walk to the bar myself. Only for the bill to be paid they came to me. I expect much more attentive and proactive service from a five-star hotel.
Pool facilities: The shower near the pool was broken, and the lockers in the changing rooms were not functioning properly.
Staff training and assistance: On two separate occasions, I asked different staff members in the changing room area how the lockers worked. Both explained that they were new and did not know how to operate them. Neither made any effort to find someone who could assist me. Instead, they simply told me to ask someone else.
I understand that new employees need time to learn, but I expect a hotel of this category to provide proper training and ensure that staff take responsibility for assisting guests.
Overall, while I appreciated the excellent location and spacious room, the lack of attentive service, poor maintenance of certain facilities and insufficient staff training made my stay disappointing. For a five-star hotel such as Sofitel,
