Having had stayed at the hotel in multiple occasions over the last 3 years, it’s sad to say it hasn’t kept up with time. From corridors that were littered, room carpet that are shedding (don’t wear black) and a new younger clientele that left a sour taste from being loud land blaring music till 1am was the last straw. The front desk was accommodating but at this point I need to start looking for a new hotel.

This hotel was awesome. The initial room we had a issue with the smell. I reported the problem and was immediately moved to another room. We could not ask for a better stay. We would definitely book the Sofitel Obelisk Duabi again.

Handily located hotel with great service.
Handily located to both DXB and Dubai Mall, what makes this a great hotel to stay at is the service from the staff. Our room was very spacious with a large bathroom and the bed was very comfortable. Our stay included breakfast and gluten free options were available.

Great hotel for a short stopover.
Lovely hotel handily located to Dubai airport. We stayed 2 nights. Staff very friendly and helpful. We arrived 6am yet they still allowed us access to our room after a very short wait. Offer a free shuttle service to/from Dubai Mall. Reasonable in-house dining available and attached to Wafi Mall with some further dining options. There’s also a supermarket there. My only criticism would be I’m gluten free and breakfast options were quite limited in that respect for me personally (eg no GF cereal, only frozen GF bread, no yoghurt). Also the hairdryer in our room didn’t work however we’d brought our own so not a biggie.
