Guest Reviews
Luxurious appartment, great location.
Location is amazing. You can walk down JBR or Marina. Appartment was really big and kitchen is well equiped. Building has luxurious feeling, it's sharing entrance with Rixos premium. Pool is nice. You can enter pool and have a sunbed for free. Pool is temperature-controled so it was chill even in 40+ degrees. View was amazing from the appartment. 24/7 reception desk is open. We had a very late check-in ~2AM because of our flight.
What could be improved: No cleaning during your stay. No way to take the trash out? If you're staying for longer it could be a problem. While we were there some facilities were closed which was unfortunate. There was a hot water problem but staff made sure to fix it very fast.
Very great stay at Sonder will defo be back soon hopefully and this is where I’ll staying just a few details about the a
Property was huge and suited of family of 5 very well all bedrooms had an en-suite which was fantastic, staff at reception and pool area are fantastic the guys round the pool area never stop all day ensuring everyone happy and place is kept spotless well done to everyone. Perfect location for everything about the JBR area.
What could be improved: Flooring thought needs replaced coming up in places and caused a tripping hazard many times, not sure if it just hasn’t been laid properly.
TVs in the bedroom would be an added bonus for kids/adults wanting a chilled night after a long day exploring or if sharing with other families not much seating one sofa can only fit 3 people max and 2 chairs with no arm rests or the dining chairs again no arm rests so can get a bit uncomfortable if wanting a chilled night watching TV the living room.
Maybe a full length mirror placed somewhere would be good
Spacious clean and great value for money

Very clean, spacious, great location. Very professional and friendly staff.
Beautiful stay-
Absolutely stunning property — I’ve stayed in Dubai many times, but the floor-to-ceiling windows here truly elevate the experience, offering breathtaking views of the sea and the Dubai Ain. We traveled as a family of 9 (3 adults and 6 children), and the space accommodated us very comfortably. We also paid for the extra cleaning service, which was well worth it — they did a superb job.
The beds were comfortable, showers are amazing, I will never stop talking about how great this place is. Felt like a dream, I was really having a pinch me moment. Staff were so attentive and kind with the children, I can’t thank you all enough for making this such a delightful experience.
What could be improved: However, the biggest downside and unfortunately a significant one for us was the shared swimming pool with Rixos.
One of our children is a wheelchair user and non-mobile, and the pool area was simply not accommodating. Every morning between 7–8 AM, nearly all sunbeds were “reserved” by guests placing towels and belongings, even though many wouldn’t return for hours. Despite explaining our situation, the pool staff were dismissive, and on a few occasions, even smirked when I asked for help.
Most days, I had no choice but to leave our things several meters away on the floor and physically carry my son to the pool. On one occasion, I finally found an empty bed by the pool, but was told it was “reserved” for another family who wanted to be closer to the water — despite already having beds further away. I explained that I had a non-mobile child and needed the bed to safely get him in and out of the pool, but I was still asked to move. I had to leave my son in the water with a family member and search again for a bed.
It was incredibly frustrating, especially when considering what I would have done if I had been traveling alone with my children.
Even more disappointing was that when I asked if I could reserve a bed in advance for accessibility reasons, I was shown a sign stating clearly that no sunbeds can be reserved. Yet somehow, other families were allowed to “hold” beds they weren’t even using.
I eventually asked to speak to a manager and waited 20 minutes, once again having to leave the pool area. When I asked how much longer it would take, the same staff I had originally complained to questioned why I even wanted a manager. Thankfully, one staff member came to me privately and said he believed we had been treated unfairly. He then guided me to the manager, who had been by the pool the whole time. I explained the situation — how I had found an empty bed, only to be told it was claimed by someone else — and he was understanding.
