The hotel is new and modern; however, my stay was severely affected by multiple room defects and poor service handling. The hair dryer in the bathroom was defective, with the cover broken. When I reported this, the engineer came but was unable to fix it and advised me to hold the exposed wire while using the hair dryer, which is a serious safety hazard and i got shock once. Additionally, the room phone was intermittently not working and could only be used on loudspeaker. As a result, I had to walk down to the lobby every time I needed assistance, which was extremely inconvenient. The complimentary shuttle bus service was also poorly managed. The concierge staff emphasized that the shuttle was “not under their control” and that any issues were not their responsibility. I was told to wait and that an announcement would be made when the bus arrived. I ended up waiting for more than 50 minutes, with no announcement and no staff present to assist. There was no communication or support provided at all. Overall, while the property looks new, the lack of maintenance, safety concerns, and poor service coordination made this stay unacceptable. Will not book with them again.

The Gevora Hotel is a lovely hotel, very well located, close to downtown Dubai and the Museum of the Future. There's also a metro station just a few steps away, making it super convenient for getting around Dubai's attractions. The room we were given on the 27th floor was very spacious and comfortable. Although the views were to one side of the building, given the hotel's height, you could still get great city views. The beds were comfy, the sheets clean, and the pillows were also comfortable. Our room had a kitchen, but in reality, you can only use the fridge as cooking isn't allowed in the apartment. However, it's useful if you want to bring in pre-made food or drinks. The breakfast was comprehensive and varied with different food selections; it just needed a little more fruit, but that's a minor detail. The only annoying thing was the construction noise around the hotel, which barely stops for a few hours in the early morning. But this is a constant issue in most Dubai hotels; there's construction everywhere, and it's hard to escape the noise. Another thing we suggested to the hotel is to renovate the carpets as they looked worn or stained in some places. Everything else was good. The pool and gym area were very nice and offered beautiful city views.

Millennium Plaza Downtown Hotel is in a really convenient spot right in the heart of Dubai, directly opposite the Museum of the Future. It’s also a short drive from Dubai International Airport, and the area around the hotel is packed with choices, restaurants, fast food, cafes, and small marts all along the same stretch, so grabbing a meal or essentials is easy. The rooms and furnishings feel a bit dated for a five-star property, but the service makes up for it. The staff are friendly, helpful, and quick to assist, which makes the stay smooth and comfortable overall.

This was my first time in Dubai. I originally wanted to book a hotel near the Burj Khalifa, but then I found this one. It's just one metro stop away from the Burj Khalifa, and the price is significantly better. Plus, the hotel is right next to the Red Line metro station, which makes getting around incredibly convenient – excellent value for money! The front desk service was also fantastic; they even had our luggage delivered directly to our room. We booked a family suite, which came with two bathrooms, two huge wardrobes, a large fridge, and even a washing machine – super convenient! The breakfast service was also very good, with staff members dedicated to seating guests, making everything feel very organized. Highly recommended!

Four Points by Sheraton Sheikh Zayed Road consistently delivers high standards and reliable quality. The service is excellent throughout, with staff who are warm, attentive, and made my entire stay, from check-in to check-out, a truly pleasant experience. The dining options were a definite highlight. Breakfast offered a wide variety of delicious choices that were very satisfying. Dinner was equally impressive, and the fact that there are different restaurants available on the second floor is incredibly convenient. The rooftop open-air bar is fantastic, boasting stunning views of the bustling city skyline with its towering buildings. The night views, when the lights come on, are absolutely breathtaking, and enjoying a drink with the evening breeze creates a wonderful atmosphere. Located in a vibrant area, the hotel is surrounded by excellent amenities, making it perfect for both business travelers and leisure guests. It offers great value for money and an exceptional overall experience. I highly recommend it!

Review Pros: Very good location. Dubai Mall is about a 15-minute walk at a relaxed pace. Cons: You have to request almost everything separately (toothpaste, toothbrushes, even a hair dryer). The room has a kitchen, but there is no kitchenware at all. At breakfast, there is only one napkin on the table for everything. The most unpleasant situation happened after breakfast. My mother made herself a sandwich but realized she would not be able to finish it. Since food is thrown away anyway, we decided to take our own sandwich with us (which, by the way, was paid for as part of the room rate with breakfast). We could have stayed in the restaurant for another 30 minutes and finished it there, but since breakfast is time-limited, we decided to leave earlier so that guests with breakfast from 10:00 to 11:00 could take our table. When we were taking the sandwich with us, a staff member simply took it out of my mother’s hands. There was no explanation and no apology. The sandwich was taken away in front of everyone. From the outside, it looked as if we were trying to take a kilogram of food to resell it and were publicly stopped like offenders.

The check-in experience was very pleasant and quick. Enor and Harsh were friendly and professional. We were given a high floor as requested and upgraded to a double bed without being asked. The room had a good view of the city and had everything one needs and expects from a hotel when on holiday. Breakfast had a huge spread. More asian and salad options would be great. There were some healthy choices, skimmed milk and Indian masala tea too. The hotel looks good from the outside with 26 floors, a clean swimming pool, a gym and an elevator that gives you a view through glass. It had an event for NYE too. We saw a lot of people partaking in it. It is an easy walk to Dubai Mall and the Burj. There are 2 convenience stores nearby, a cafe inside and easy to get taxis (Bolt, Careem, Uber). Jabed who cleaned our room well was cordial and professional and checked on our needs. Overall, we had a great stay, better than expected after reading older reviews. The staff that work here are friendly and want to help, including the breakfast staff. I left some minor written suggestions with the lady at the desk when we checked out at noon on Thursday. I love the Millennium brand hotels and Millennium Central Downtown can go from great to extraordinary! I would definitely recommend it to friends and family. Veronica

For the hunters of sky-scrapers, this hotel is hosted by a stunning 70 floors twin towers, with elegant interior finishing and decoration. We've got a prodigious package for the 2 days stay with breakfast at a very good price due to the hot season. The hotel pride are a multitude of restaurants, bars, cafes - we went for dinner to Positano (Italian) - ”mama mia com'e buono” and Rang Mahal (Indian) - ओह, यह कितना अच्छा है! - with 25% discount for the hotel residents. For breakfast we experienced Business Bay and Kitchen 6 - a wide-range of food - good looking & tasty - challenging your selection in both restaurants, however a plus mark to be added for the latter one. Excellent staff allover - friendly and attentive to detail - special mention for Chamoodi - reception and Anton - swimming pool. Rooms are cozy too, spotless clean with a generous bathroom - everything charming with perfect finishing. Pity the balcony is blocked close - parachute jumpers, bungee jump, rappelling - could be the reason? The swimming pool is situated at 7 floor in a spectacular opened area - the water has chlorine agent in excess I think. To be mentioned that Burj Khalifa is close enough for visiting - frequent shuttle bus service is provided. All in all - an excellent short stay!

Hotel is close to the Metro station World Trade Center, it is easy to move around when taxi is not available. One mini carrefour is opposite to hotel which is convenient to shop. Breakfast serve from 6:30 to 11am, it is long enough to have a relax breakfast. Lobby area is comfortable to meet friends. Staff are professional and offer good service. GYM is good. My only complaint is swimming pool is too small for swimming. Overall I feel good and comfortable to stay in Sheraton Grand Hotel Dubai.

Exceptional Experience at The Royal Atlantis in Dubai My recent stay at The Royal Atlantis in Dubai was truly unforgettable. From the moment I arrived, the level of luxury and attention to detail exceeded my expectations. The architecture of the hotel is breathtaking, offering stunning views of both the city and the sea. The room was spacious, immaculately clean, and elegantly designed with modern amenities. The service was impeccable—staff were always friendly and willing to go above and beyond to accommodate any request. The dining options were phenomenal, with a wide variety of restaurants offering world-class cuisine. The facilities, especially the pools and spa, were some of the best I’ve experienced. Relaxing by the infinity pool overlooking the Arabian Gulf was pure bliss. The hotel also offers easy access to private beach areas, adding to the overall exclusivity and luxury feel. If you’re looking for a top-tier hotel experience in Dubai, The Royal Atlantis is worth every penny. I can’t wait to return!

After a disappointing stay earlier this week at another 4-star hotel in Tecom, I decided to try Novotel Al Barsha for the weekend, mainly because Swiss Butter Steakhouse is inside the hotel. My friend Hannah and I checked in with a mix of curiosity and hope for a better experience. The hotel does seem busy, which contradicts what some other guests have said. To their credit, we were given our room right away at check-in. I had booked a Superior Twin Room and specifically requested a higher floor for a better view. I also accepted a smoking room, understanding the compromise, but the overwhelming smell of smoke in the hallway left me wondering: shouldn’t a 4-star hotel manage this better? Upon entrance, to our surprise, we found a joined single bed instead of twins. We called reception, hoping to move rooms, but they offered to just separate the beds. Regret hit when we saw how small the single beds were! Honestly, if you’re tall or on the bigger side, this setup will not be comfortable—especially if you’re staying with friends or family. To add, the bed’s mattress clearly needed flipping, as there was an obvious slope that made it uncomfortable to sleep on. Adding to the unfortunate, despite being on the 25th floor, there was no view to speak of—something we were really looking forward to. It felt like a missed opportunity, especially given the hotel’s location and our specific request for a high floor. The bathroom was another letdown. The tissue holder was almost broken, the materials inside looked cheap, and the toilet bowl was not properly cleaned, with visible brown markings—pretty gross for a 4-star hotel. Thankfully, the bathtub was at least clean, so that was something. On the bright side, the highlight of this hotel is definitely their spa and pool. We were given discount vouchers for Soul and Senses Spa, and my masseuse, Shatria, did a great job. The pool is a decent size and clean, while the sauna and steam room were perfect. The health club overall is the ace of this place. For breakfast, I agree with other reviews—it’s decent. The restaurant was packed in the morning, but the vibe was good. However, they don’t escort guests to tables; you just find a seat yourself, which is fine but felt a bit unpolished. One odd thing I noticed: while housekeeping did try their best to fulfill our requests—like providing coffee capsules and water—there was no creamer for the coffee and tea. Even 3-star hotels provide that, so it was a first for me (maybe it was just the standard). Despite these minimal disappointments, I still try to see the positive side of this hotel and did my best to take decent photos that you may see for reference. Overall, it seems like this hotel mainly caters to group tourists, which makes me wonder if they’re sacrificing quality for quantity. I hope they work on improving their services, including room quality, views, and attention to detail, so they can leave a better impression of Dubai for future guests.
