Best Hotel. Staff and duty Manager very helpful. We as a family of 3 members were treated like Royalty/ were given free upgraded room/ Originally booked and paid from 19th to 24th April 2025 due to change in umrah rules in Mecca we had to check out on 22nd April earlier So we could perform our umrah in Mecca as new legislation would not allow forus to be in mecca after the 28th April and we were approved by duty manager Mohammed for the 2 day's refund. The hotel management will go above customer Expectations to facilitate what they could. Will always Stay at this Fabulous Hotel. Seven Stars from us.

My journey at the Sofitel: very mixed feelings!

The Good: the quality of the food served at the restaurant, The front desk customer centricity. The bad: inefficient communication/coordination within departments. The Ugly: Dialing the customer service number (totally useless and sometimes rude). Maintenance: catastrophic, furniture falling apart.
