Reviews
The location couldn’t be better. It’s so easy to get around the city from here, whether you’re exploring or heading out for dinner. And having a mall connected to the hotel was honestly the best part. It made everything so convenient and stress-free.
I would definitely stay here again.
There's a mall nearby with my favorite PAUL cafe. After breakfast on our second day, we even went to PAUL for a second breakfast! You could easily book without breakfast here, as there are many options for breakfast nearby.
Room service was decent, and it's about a five to six-minute walk to the metro station.
The bedsheet is very impressively soft and comfortable! Large window that make the spaces much spacious!
The most delightful surprise was the hotel's outdoor swimming pool on the sixth floor. It's really large, divided into two sections: 1.2 meters and 1.5 meters deep. There were plenty of loungers by the pool and even a bar. We went twice in total; the first time we stayed for three hours, and the second time we indulged for a full six hours. Just lying there, reading a book, browsing on our phones, occasionally taking a dip, and then coming back to relax some more – it was truly delightful. When we got hungry, we'd order pizza, quesadillas, or fries, and the prices were very reasonable. Plus, they had a happy hour from 4 PM to 7 PM daily, offering various alcoholic beverages.
The only minor inconvenience was that if you ordered takeout, you had to go downstairs to pick it up yourself. Delivery drivers weren't allowed upstairs, and the hotel didn't offer room service for deliveries.
All in all, we had a very enjoyable two-day stay here.
The rooms are spotlessly clean, beautifully modern, and incredibly comfortable — we genuinely had the best night’s sleep. Sofitel The Obelisk continues to exceed expectations, and we can’t wait to come back again. Highly recommend!
The food was amazing! Shoutout to Mr. Ramesh and Mr. Abhay, who went out of their way to cater to our specific requests.
Also, big thank you to Mr. Fowsal from the Room Service team, who swiftly provided us with our needs upon request.
This was already our second stay and like the first time, we had such a memorable stay. We will surely come back!
