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.

The pool closes way too early at 6pm. If possible ti move it to at least 10pm to allow people who was out all day exploring to utilize pool when they come back

Outstanding value, much cheaper for the standard than in London or other European cities. Slow elevators were the only problem (some were switched off, creating long waits). Handy shop and cafe - but advertised restaurant was closed - which was a nuisance. Fortunately we had a kitchen (very good) and ate out a lot anyway. Bed was V. good and the bedroom was large. No smoking on the outside balcony 6 floors up was mean.
