Unaccommodating, Great Otheriwse.
This hotel was clean and also has a great location. The nearby Mosque has a prayer broadcast which was a great experience.
The staff however were not so great. Unwilling to be flexible with travel changes of any kind. It was understood the deadline had passed (by ~6hours), but the staff wouldn’t allow at least a shortened stay. The view of the undeveloped dirt lot next door was excellent.
This is a great property if someone is visiting with friends and family. I was with family of 9 people, the property had 4 bedroom with attach bath, big living room two balcony which gives a clear view of Burj Khalifa.
All staff are very friendly and resturants are available in walking distance.
Property was great , apartment was really nice and Sonder provided great services and amenities, would stay again definitely if coming to Dubai for location
I had a fantastic stay at Sonder! The staff was incredibly friendly and made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others.
10/10 would recommend if staying near business bay

Disliked: Cleanliness
The apartment was not cleaned good, dirty curtains, slimy shower floor, stains on the sofa and dust on furniture. I called the front desk and they sent the cleaning supervisor who agreed that the sofas and curtains need changing. The balcony doors wouldn’t close so hot air mixed with the aircon in the apartment. I was offered other apartments to view but honestly they were just as bad if not worse. The pictures did NOT match the product. Dubai had many other apartment hotels so save your money and don’t bother. Also check-in is a nightmare, it took 30 mins to complete check-in. Sonders Business Bay is a 3* hotel. I won’t be returning. I have pictures if I could share on here I would show. I will share on Tripadviser.
