I had a fantastic stay at SO Uptown. From check in to check out, everything was smooth and professional. Every corner of the room and the common areas were immaculately maintained, which made the stay all the more comfortable and refreshing. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a premium worry-free stay. Will definitely be coming back!
Okay, so at first I was a bit worried the hotel was too far out, but it is not an issue. There's a shuttle every 15 minutes to the Metro, and from there you can get anywhere in Dubai easily - it's actually the best way to get around Dubai (avoid the traffic). The location ended up being perfect because it's quieter than the main tourist areas but you're still close to everything. Plus, this is Dubai, so the whole city is constantly evolving and expanding!
The hotel itself is brand new and really chic. The breakfast was fantastic - loads of healthy options, and I'm not exaggerating when I say the Pastry Chef deserves an award. There is a great bar on the 6th floor.
The staff were welcoming, polite, and genuinely helpful.
I had a room on the 43rd floor and it was stylish and elegant, a very comfortable bed and a great shower with a separate egg-shaped bath
Would I stay again? Absolutely. Would I recommend it? Absolutely, thank you for a lovely stay
Hotel area under construction. Nice hotel but had some issues. Give the hotel 5 due to the friendly staff. Sara, Tanmoy and Yaman gave us excellent and top service. Really nice guys that will help you with everything,
I liked everything about the hotel. The reception staff are friendly and helpful. Thank you for everything, The only negative is the way to enter the hotel by car, 6 floors up to the lobby...and also change the elevator to go up to the rooms.. by the way, it’s a new hotel and the food food amazing I like the breakfast .. I loved the way breakfast was served (food menu) ..
I will start with positive things
The room is wow new fully equipped with everything thing u need
Nice view bathroom full of amenities
Nice TV nice sofa next to bed to relax
I loved the room so much
When I arrived first day no warm welcomes nor smiles u feel the Hotel is without a soul
I asked for one thing only just quiet room
And I got the room exactly facing exit door and it was used by many people
Opening and shutting the door every 20 minutes I couldn't sleep at all the noise of that door was loud
I talked to reception and they said no body should use this door again
Same day after few hours I saw Aman using that door some man from security
And I told him not to use it it's in front 9f my room and it's loud
Gym is small compared to the hotel definitely should be bigger
Pool also is small
Asked house keeping to make my bed after 11 pm reception said house keeping till 11 only
I felt the hotel without energy they don't want to help or do small extra gestures
I might come again one more time maybe some thing will change next time
