“What are you complaining about? Can you find a cheaper hotel in Dubai?”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Try to find a hotel for under $150 (high season) / $100 (low season) in Dubai and you'll end up at some rather seedy establishments fit for the kind of men who just rolled in with a barrel of rum from many months on the high seas and the kind of women who . . . well, you get the point. Dar Al Sondos is not looking to compete with the likes of the Burj al Arab, The Address, Hyatt Regency or other $500+ / night establishments and people who rock up with expectations far in excess of what they have paid will be reality checked accordingly. However, in many, many more stays at DAS over the past few years than I can be bothered count at DAS, I have never had any real problems whatsoever. The rooms have been consistently clean, the furniture consistently modern, the front desk check-in and -out consistently efficient and courteous (even advising me to book on the Starwoods website in future so that I could save money on the room rate), and my experience consistently positive. There are no other hotels in Dubai that I can speak of that I can say that about (and I have stayed at a lot), which is why I keep returning. If you want to live the high life, look elsewhere, but if you want value for money, look no further.

“Very convenient....But....”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

I stayed four nights at the Sondos suites with good overall experience, the great things about this hotel is: Location, 1 minutes walk to metro station, 3 minutes walk to City center mall.. that is the best thing about it, very spacious room with fully equipped kitchenette, very comfortable king size bed, friendly staff with easy check in and out procedure.

However there are some thing that really should be a concern to the management, the rooms are getting old and need some maintenance, carpets look old (removing them out should do) if they do not want to replace with new, windows need urgent maintenance as they do not shut properly thus you can hear the noisy street trafic, which is really unpleasant, I complaint to the front desk but nothing happened.

If the above issues are solved I would definitely stay there again.

“Comfortable and friendly”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 February 2012

This property and the staff are a first class operation. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The location is superb, the hotel is extremely clean, great rooms/suites, very nice restaurant. I would definitely stay again. They should provide wireless internet and not the wired kind.

“Way below Le Meridien avarage”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

Even if I had a good price (450 Dirham) my stay at Al Sondos Hotel Apartments, I was quite disappointed.
I arrived very late and as Platinum Member I haven't had anything except the free internet connection. No club lounge, no upgrade.
The room wasn't at the normal Le Meridien and Starwood brands quality with very old furnitures and crumbling bathroom. I also found a dirty towel!
I was very surprised to find an hotel of Le Meridien brand, but not at Le Meridien quality.
