Rove City Walk
9.4 (862 reviews)

Rove City Walk ★★★

📍 Al Badaa Street, Al Wasl, Dubai

"This was our first stay in Dubai, and the front desk lady was incredibly nice, kind, and patient. Even with my broken English, she politely and patiently answered all my questions, giving us very detailed guidance. I've forgotten her name, but she was really beautiful. I even chatted with her using a domestic AI app, and although the conversation wasn't perfectly smooth, we had a great time. I actually feel a bit embarrassed now because we hadn't adopted the custom of tipping back then. There are many mosques in Dubai, and there's a beautiful one right next to this hotel. It's also very close to Dubai Mall, and the hotel offers a free shuttle service to both Dubai Mall and Kite Beach, which is super convenient and thoughtful. Thumbs up!👍"

"It's an okay place to stay, the location is good, and the room is quite spacious. However, the hygiene is really subpar, with hair remnants, and the facilities are relatively old. There's also a strange odor. If you just need a place to crash for one night, it's fine, given the price."

Millennium Place Marina Hotels in Dubai

Millennium Place Marina

"An absolutely wonderful hotel! I was checked into a room on the 19th floor, and the views were simply the best. The Wi-Fi was excellent. The service and staff spoke perfect English, were incredibly polite, and very attentive. Water, coffee, and tea were all unlimited. Any request was handled instantly. The blackout curtains were superb; you could sleep as if it were nighttime even during the day. The pool is open until 10 PM and offers fantastic views. There are plenty of shops nearby, and a large 24-hour supermarket is just a step away. The metro is a 5-minute walk, making it convenient to get to Marina Mall. The beach is a leisurely 15-minute stroll, offering the best views of Marina Bay and the Ferris Wheel. The beach itself is beautiful. I highly recommend this hotel and would gladly return again. 10/10!"

"This is the biggest hotel room I've ever stayed in, and I've traveled half the world and rarely write reviews. Everything was perfect: the location, the views, the room, and the cleanliness. The only thing is we were on the 29th floor, which is very high (but thankfully there's a lock on the balcony). I highly recommend it!"

Ciel Dubai Marina, Vignette Collection by IHG, the world’s tallest hotel. ★★★★★
"Location is quite good but due to loads of construction works around (at the moment of our stay) traffic was always congested in the hotel area and it took ages to drive anywhere. Same problem with the view from the pool: construction works(( The room itself is nice, nothing fancy though. The hotel was in operation for less than a month but it seemed like it was old already (scratches on the door, stains on the walls). We booked a room to have a nice view but construction works (again) and dirty windows made it hard to enjoy the sight. We could barely sleep at night because the walls are so thin that it seems your neighbors are in your room. Plus you can hear everybody passing by your room. Another HUGE problem are elevators. There are only 8 elevators for almost 80 floors: the wait is not long, it’s super long. On top of that one of the screens on our floor was not working which doubled that super long wait. Elevators are dirty, screens showing floor numbers are dirty, while going up in the elevator you are supposed to be stunned by the view but the windows are dirty. If you go up to relax in the infinity pool you’ll see that some of the windows were not even cleaned after finishing construction works. There are dozens of stuff downstairs but to find one helpful would be a problem. Everyone is always busy or they just pretend to be busy. They are NOT there for you. Overall I wouldn’t really recommend CIEL, it’s not bad but the level of service is low, level of comfort is low. It’s not Dubai level let’s say. P.S. First picture is the NEW elevator in the NEW hotel. You don’t expect to see sealing tape in a 5-star hotel."
