From the moment we set foot in the hotel to the week later when we left, we cannot compliment enough the attitudes and professionalism of ALL the staff at this hotel. They always had a smile on their face, were very welcoming and went out of their way to help you when you needed assistance. The location of the hotel was quite far out- it cost us 230AED to get from the airport on arrival. But to be honest, after becoming more aware of resources around, we returned back to the airport in a taxi for 30AED. The hotel offers a free shuttle service straight to the Dubai Mall. They have other shuttles to other malls too. Just wish they’d offered more shuttle times to and back from the malls. The latest return to the hotel was 5.45pm. But taxi’s back at later times cost around 80AED. The hotel itself was lovely and clean. The bedroom was airy and spacious. It was cleaned everyday. We had breakfast every day of our stay. I had read reviews before I went about how the breakfast was the same everyday. All I can say to that is that whilst they did offer the same things every day, there is so much variety- from cereals to cooked meals, breads to cakes, fruit, vegetables and salads. We have loved the experience of staying at this hotel and definitely would go back again!

Most friendly and helpful receptionist and staff ever, lovely and great first impression of hotel. Everything about the hotel was exceptional. It was clean, stylish, roomy with excellent service good and great value for money and service was attentive and efficient.

Everything was great, but the breakfast. Service was understaffed, particularly on days w large tourist groups. On those days, staff struggled to clear and clean tables for incoming guests. Breakfast choices were good but very limited for a 4 star hotel. So, loved the hotel but not the breakfast experience.

It’s my first time staying in the hotel I booked for executive suite but when I arrived there the suites were unavailable, So they upgraded me to one bedroom Everything was good , it’s quite place I will make sure to stay in the hotel on my next visit Thanks for All

Pros: Convenient location near major attractions Comfortable and well-appointed rooms Excellent dining options Friendly and attentive staff Cons: Can be busy during peak tourist seasons Limited parking space

I have a very negative opinion about this hotel. I booked a Deluxe room with two separate beds with full payment, when checking in at the reception at 16:00 (check-in from 14:00) they said your room is dirty - I will give you a drink of coffee or tea. There was no answer on how long to wait and why the number was not ready. They offered a room with one king-size bed, I agreed well with this option, the whole evening I asked 4 times for a second blanket, which was never brought. Mom and her adult son had to sleep under the same blanket, I am outraged and I paid for this in advance!!! The area towards the sea is cozy with parks, fountains and a golf course, on the other side there is a desert with barbed wire. Booking a transfer to the beach is problematic, there are few places and booking for two days in advance is impossible, only for the next one (but everything is already booked there), it’s better to do it at night after 24:00 right away. Two towers - one hotel with transfer included, the second tower of apartments without transfer, however, people from the apartments manage to run ahead of everyone and take up seats on the bus and others from the hotel do not have enough seats when going to the jbr beach. There’s also a bird’s nest right above the entrance to the hotel, it dived into my head twice and all the workers saw it and shrugged. Breakfast and lunch are good! Water in the room is constantly replenished free of charge. Room 0414 is damp and cold, the floor in the bathroom is cold like in an operating room, they turned off the air conditioning and opened the window to warm up. Neighbors say, knowing about this problem of rooms, they asked for rooms higher, about the 20th floor and above, they are better there. There are many grocery stores nearby, which is a plus. You can walk to the metro, but you can also take a shuttle to the Emirates Mall and get on the metro straight from the Mall. Hot water tends to run out at lunchtime when the hotel's consumption is high. It's easy to find yourself lathered under cold water.

If I have to think of a place I can call home in Dubai, this is one of the top 3 that fits the bill! Everything here has a welcoming warmth, right from the reception to housekeeping. Fahad, Livingston, and rest of the concierge team never hesitate to help you. Darlene in the sales team and everyone at reception always have a smile on their face. Mohd Riyas and his housekeeping team keep your living space pleasant and your spacious, cozy rooms start looking even more relaxed! Chandana and his F&B team will charm you with the themed dinner nights. A perfect place to let your worries go and enjoy your time in Dubai. Thanks Mr. Nobbs for your leadership :)

I've been in the hotel now for over 24days and mostly enjoyed my stay as the the hotel is clean, the bed is good, it smells fresh and the ambience is suitable for the price of UNDER Dh180 per night for this location. It's a really good short stay hotel but Safety is an issue and largely due to their neighbourhood. I think that most of their hotel staff is good but watch out for sexism. They also need more training to respect consumer rights. Also they have an issue with 'holding structure' wrt their insurance. It's now 2nd Oct 2022, so if you read this a few years later, this cld be a totally different hotel. - Barsha Heights is an urban neighbourhood in transition. Not suitable for those a bit conservative as I am. I seriously question the safety- marketing match for this property and would not deem it suitable for families with small kids. 1) the bathrooms aren't kid-friendly and easily over-splash. I changed to a room with a bath tub but the tub sides are too high and it's a safety hazard. - aesthetics is good but Design is not their strong feature. -The housekeeping staff does a really good job to wipe down the floors. These guys are good. Their senior management is also pretty good. Their overall staff in general is too inexperienced for Dubai standard. 2) the floor landings aren't well marked and some kid got off on the wrong floor and got scared and confused. I got him off on the right floor. I saw him later with his parents. - most guests here are friendly and look out for one another. Another guest looked out for me too. It's a friendly and trustworthy space between most guests. 3) they don't put up signs that contractor work is happening. Can do better. 4) The front desk and F&B do seem to take the mickey out of solo female travellers, so be straight up on what you expect. - Push back and know your legal rights. It's likely a cultural thing. Seen it here before decades ago too. It was wiped out then but clearly it's resurfaced. So do what you can or move to Abu Dubai or Sharjah. 5) excellent food deals! Heart of the hotel! The food is quite good for the price. Not too oily, good selection. The breakfast per the entire week was dh200+ and comes with fresh omelletes, Asian, Indian and European as well as fresh fruit. They improved the coffee. Really good deal! Clean cafe since it's new. The pub also has a good meal deals under Dh100 this Sept 2022. They change in October. Ask and know your consumer rights before ordering. But like a few other Dubai restaurants, the plates and glasses smell of stale dish washer. They fixed it immediately so that's good. But no one else complained and that was surprising to me. Potent cocktails. Good bar tender from Morocco and another from Philippines called Joseph. 6) don't stand outside to look for a cab. The Security came to get me a cab. It's safer. Really good hotel for under Dh180 but the neighbourhood sets them back a bit. I've been here a while and thank the staff for a pleasant stay!

+ friendly staff + windows did not face the road, the room was quiet + close to the subway - We were put in a room with one bed for smokers, although I had booked a room with two beds in a non-smoking room, at check-in they did not warn us that we would be put in such a room and did not offer any other options, I had to go down and find out why we were put in such a room; the floor where the room was located also smelled of smoke - The next day we were moved to the room as I had booked, but the refrigerator did not freeze there, we contacted the reception - no result. - A piece of clothing was missing from the room where we slept the first night, we searched everything and even contacted the reception - it was not found. - The hotel has an option to order additional amenities in the room, in the evening we ordered a toothbrush, but it was never brought. - Monotonous breakfasts - Once there was a couple smoking at breakfast (indoors) and they were not kicked out - Smoking is allowed on the roof where the pool is located - On the hotel website stated free shuttle to the beach - at the reception said that there is no shuttle to the beach, only to the shopping centers We stayed at the hotel for a week. If you're a smoker or not bothered by the smell, probably you'll be fine.
