Sofitel Dubai The Obelisk

We had the opportunity to check into our room earlier than expected, which was a very pleasant surprise. The hotel is beautiful, and the room and view from the 35th floor were fantastic. Even though the view was not facing Burj Khalifa but rather the opposite side with a distant airport, it was still amazing. The pool water was perfectly clean and at a great temperature. The staff at the reception and pool area were exceptionally friendly and professional, as was the team in the restaurant during breakfast. Yes, sometimes the coffee machine would briefly stop working, or the staff would forget to bring the ordered omelet, but these are minor things that are completely understandable in such a large hotel. A little patience is sometimes needed, but after all, most of us are here on vacation to relax and enjoy. A big compliment to all the employees for their excellent service and dedication!

We arrived at the hotel very early morning expecting to have to wait till afternoon to check in. The welcome we received was excellent and the reception staff had us checked in and in our room by 8am. The experience in the hotel was exceptional throughout as a result of the reception by all members of staff and the way they did everything possible to help make our stay so enjoyable. Breakfast was brilliant with everything you might want to eat or drink being available. The staff were again very helpful in particular our waiter Rashid and waitress Sinita who both went out of their way to ensure all our needs were met. The pool area is fantastic with plenty of loungers and cabanas available and a swim up bar in the pool. All in all we could not fault this hotel and given the opportunity we will definitely return.

After extending my stay at Sofitel Dubai Obelisk, I can confidently say this hotel continues to exceed my expectations. The cleanliness is impeccable, and the rooms are as spacious and well-designed as ever. The thoughtful layout makes every moment comfortable, and having direct access to the mall remains a huge convenience that I truly appreciate. The in-room dining has been consistently impressive. The pricing strikes a perfect balance between value and quality, making every meal feel indulgent without being overpriced. What stands out the most is the incredible service. The staff is attentive, professional, and always ready to help. Haania at the front desk deserves another mention—her warm and friendly demeanor really made me feel welcome throughout my stay. Breakfast continues to be a highlight, with a wide variety of delicious options to choose from. I still wish dragon fruit was on the menu, but everything else has been exceptional, so it’s a small trade-off. The gym, though medium-sized, is perfectly equipped for a solid workout, and it’s been a great way to start my days. Extending my stay here has only reinforced how much I love this hotel. Sofitel Dubai Obelisk is truly a gem in Dubai, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a luxurious, convenient, and memorable stay.

All of the above. Spacious room and great view (got a room on the 41st floor just by asking for a high floor room in my booking), fabulous breakfast with incredible choices. Very well trained, curtious and helpful staff.

The location is about 15-20 mins away from Dubai mall and most areas. It is close to the airport and also away from the dense city. So, there is some escapism from the busy city at the end of the day. The Spa and gym great, the breakfast is good with some healthy food choices. The train station is a bit of a walk away and the trains will add time to your journey. Taxis are plentiful at the entrance. The rooms are quite large and were cleaned to a high standard each day. The aesthetics are pleasing with the Egyptian theme. The Wafi mall next door is okay for some meals, shopping, and drinks (e.g.: Starbucks and convenience store to buy gifts).
