Platinum Member Treated worse than Gold
Have stayed in Sofitel Abu Dhabi Corniche a couple of times and had the worst experience - also posting this review directly on TripAdvisor as I’ve not received the feedback email.
Recommended my friends to stay here cos he’s an Accor gold member, and I also joined him after staying in Conrad Abu Dhabi for the nights prior. Dropped by in the morning to drop off my luggages and to check if my room could be placed somewhere closer to my friend’s which couldn’t be facilitated as mine’s been upgraded to the club floor on the 24th, but she managed to move their booking to the 23rd to which I’m very grateful.
Returned at night to check in and was attended by another female staff, who: Didn’t acknowledge my membership (welcome back/thanks for being a member); Didn’t offer any upgrade based on my platinum status, nor mentioned any other benefits eg breakfast; Didn’t offer any assistance with my luggage and when I showed her the card for luggage collection, she simply directed me to collect them from the concierge myself (as comparison, her colleague escorted me to the concierge and personally helped me to deposit my belongs)
It was after 7pm and I was also told to wait for 5 more minutes as the room wasn’t ready.
I tried to explain to her of the conversation I had in the morning, which didn’t seem to interest her.
Checked into my room, with no welcome platter nor guest name on the screen like it used to, I thought there must have been a genuine mistake, so I returned to her before heading out for dinner to check if my membership was correctly reflected in the booking (feeling extremely embarrassed myself like I’m some kind of a better) - it seemed to have worked and she decided to check with her supervisor, who was assisting another guest at the time so I left for dinner without waiting further, thinking that by the time I returned she should’ve worked things out.
Unfortunately until my departure there was still zero trace of acknowledgement towards being a loyal customer of Accor’s from this very Sofitel and its team.
Will be retuning to Abu Dhabi in the coming week and without any hesitation, I booked my stay with Conrad, where the loyalty of Diamond members is being valued.

Dinner in Grills at Chill’o
We had a birthday celebration here. The restaurant booking was amazing and everything was so nicely arranged. Thank you to all the staff for making it special, especially for Mr. mustafa, parsenthu and Htun. You guys are amazing and made my day.
Marah excellent performance. 10 of 10
I had a wonderful experience thanks to the exceptional service provided by Marah. She was incredibly kind, attentive and professional throughout, always making sure everything was perfect and that I felt comfortable and well looked after.
Her friendly attitude, attention to detail and genuine care really made a difference. It has been always a pleasure to be attended by someone who clearly takes pride in providing excellent service.
Thank you for making my experience so enjoyable. Highly recommended!

Location was okay not much of an atmosphere at the hotel. The concierge and reception team were not welcoming, the front house team specifically Roshan need training on how to welcome and greet guests. Need to mention Franco at the pool side and Zenou and Hope in the restaurant who were most welcoming with a smile. I had fully inclusive Light and don't drink Alcohol but had to pay £6 for an ice lolly at the pool side which was extortionate. Rooms were okay but not equipped for a couple, 1 x toothbrush, 1 x Slippers, 1 x Bathrobe. I also had to request for a prayer mat which never arrived, got fed up of keep having to ask for things. No rooms with balconies at this hotel, had a good view of the Sea from a high floor room. I personally wouldn't recommend this hotel to anyone and wouldn't go there again.
