The location is good. The public areas look nice but the Imperial Suite is tired and in need of a good clean and a refurbishment. The service is hit and miss, Room Service are difficult to get hold of, their line regularly rings out but the staff who deliver the food are charming and helpful. Same in the All Day Dining restaurant, the service is hit and miss, even in a quiet restaurant it takes the waiter too long to clear the table between trips to the buffet. There is nothing inherently wrong with the hotel, it's passable but they have a way to go before they're on par with other five star hotels within the Sofitel brand such as Sofitel Mumbai or Sofitel St James.

We spent our honeymoon here in Sofitel Abu Dhabi Corniche. We really enjoyed the food and the whole team in the kitchen around the chef. They have been super kind and the food was really very delicious! Thank you very much!
