Booked 2 luxury rooms with breakfast. But denied breakfast saying not included in booking. Although the amount paid was the price with breakfast, for some reason the booking did not include it.

Extremely Disappointing Experience – Far Below Five-Star Standards
I stayed at Sofitel Abu Dhabi Corniche last month in Suite 1901 and experienced a terrible air-conditioning issue, with the room barely cooling at all. Unfortunately, I returned this time and stayed in Suite 1801, only to face exactly the same problem. This raises serious concerns about room maintenance and comfort.
The experience was made even worse by the following issues:
• Missing amenities: Essential bathroom amenities, slippers, and a laundry bag were all missing from the room.
• Serious privacy concern: The connecting door between my suite and the adjacent room was left clearly open from both sides. The other room was occupied by two guests in separate beds, although they were temporarily away. This is a serious security and privacy failure that should never happen in a five-star hotel.
• Extremely poor service: Calling the hotel operator is frustrating, as calls frequently go unanswered. When I personally approach the lobby and explain that I have called several times, the response is that no calls were received and that every call was answered. This is unacceptable and shows a clear disconnect between the actual guest experience and the staff’s response.
The air-conditioning issue is particularly disappointing, especially when the same problem occurs in different suites on separate stays. Guests should not have to tolerate rooms that do not cool properly, chase staff for basic amenities, or worry about their privacy and security.
Dear Nayef A.,
Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding your recent stay with us at Sofitel Abu Dhabi Corniche. I am truly sorry to learn about the multiple challenges you faced during your visit, particularly concerning the air-conditioning issues in both suites. Your comfort is of utmost importance, and I understand how disappointing this must have been.
I would also like to address your concerns regarding the missing amenities. We strive to provide a complete and enjoyable experience for our guests, and it appears we fell short in this instance. Furthermore, I sincerely apologize for the privacy issues you encountered with the connecting door, as well as the service difficulties in reaching our team. Your comments regarding the responsiveness of our staff are noted, and I assure you that we take such matters seriously.
Thank you once again for your valuable insights. We appreciate your feedback and will use it to enhance our service and facilities.

The guy at the lobby was very kind. The room was completely stripped off everything, there were no coffee capsules, no toothbrushes, the shampoo was almost finished. I had to call multiple times to sort things out and couldn’t reach housekeeping from the first time. Then I ordered 3 cokes and it cost 77 AED which was absurd! The saunas were off - which was the main reason why I booked this place instead of the other option I had in mind. I just expected a little bit more from a 5star hotel. Location is very nice, easy to get in and park. Staff are generally very kind.
Dear Rachel D.,
Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding your recent stay with us. I am pleased to hear that you found our location convenient and our staff kind. However, I sincerely apologize for the inconveniences you experienced during your visit.
It is concerning to learn that your room was not adequately stocked with the necessary amenities.

Additionally, I regret that you encountered difficulties reaching our housekeeping staff and that the sauna facilities were unavailable during your stay.

We visited with our new baby for our first little family getaway, but unfortunately, several issues meant we were unable to enjoy the stay as we had hoped.
Room and facilities:
The room was disappointing from the moment we arrived. It was very dusty, with food debris left on the floor, and the toilet did not flush properly. Although an engineer was reportedly sent to fix it, we continued to experience problems. The bath was also faulty, with the tap and shower running simultaneously and no way to isolate them properly. There was visible rust around the bath plug which required a good clean before use, the air conditioning did not work correctly, and the bed was extremely uncomfortable, with a mattress that appeared worn out and offered virtually no support.
Housekeeping also failed to attend to our room throughout our stay.
We had specifically requested a cot for our baby at the time of booking, so we expected it to be ready in the room upon arrival. Unfortunately, it was not there. The lady at check-in contacted housekeeping to request one, but after waiting over an hour with no cot arriving, I had to go back downstairs to chase this up myself. When it finally arrived, the cot was damaged and the mattress was too large for the frame, causing the sides to curve upwards. This was particularly concerning, as it did not appear to provide a safe sleeping environment for our baby. Given that we had requested it in advance, we were disappointed by both the delay and the condition of the cot provided.
We were also unable to make use of the pool, as the water was far too cold for our baby and, in our opinion, too cold for adults to enjoy comfortably. Other guests were also raising concerns about the temperature, but these appeared to be brushed aside by the poolside staff rather than properly addressed.
Restaurant and service:
On a positive note, we found the food included in our half-board package to be good. However, the service and overall organisation of the restaurant were disappointing. It was clearly very busy and significantly understaffed, with seemingly just one waiter trying to cater for the entire restaurant. Every morning, we had to ask for tables to be cleared before we could sit down and enjoy breakfast. This detracted from the experience and made what should have been a relaxing start to the day unnecessarily frustrating.
Overall:
It is disappointing to leave a review like this, particularly as we had enjoyed staying here previously and returned with positive expectations. We booked through an Entertainer package, and given the condition of the room, we were left wondering whether we had been allocated a more run-down room because we had not paid the full advertised rate. Of course, we cannot know whether this was the case, but the thought did cross our minds, which is disappointing in itself.
The combination of maintenance issues, poor cleanliness, inadequate housekeeping, the delay in providing the cot, concerns over its safety and understaffing made this stay a real let-down. We appreciate that occasional issues can arise in any hotel, but the number of problems we encountered, alongside the apparent lack of urgency in addressing some of them, was not what we would expect for a 5-star establishment.
We had hoped for a relaxing first getaway as a family, especially having chosen a hotel we remembered fondly, but unfortunately, the experience fell well below the standard we remembered. We hope management takes this feedback seriously and addresses these issues to ensure all guests receive the same standard of room, facilities and service, regardless of the rate or package they book.

Rooms are fine, reasonably sized, appliances/plumbing/electric systems work fine, complimentary breakfast selection is good. There is a nice French cafe on 1st floor if you want better coffee than from breakfast machines. 8P level has a grill and pool, and drinks are available.
