Dubai Coast Holidays

Great accommodation, good Food, excellent service, friendly staff.

My husband and I had a great time. We were on a business trip, but staying there felt like we were on a lovely holiday. All staff members were friendly, kind, and helpful. In shaa Allah, we'd love to stay there again. So many things that I want to highlight here about why we loved this place. One for sure, originally we booked via Expedia Travel, and the room we picked looked like it was on a higher floor, but we received the ground floor room when we arrived. However, they reassured to give us the room we wanted the next day since it was fully booked. We wanted the upper room because, as a Muslim woman, it felt more private and comfortable for me to remove my hijab and whatnot. So I was pleased that they were able to accommodate that. Really really really appreciate this :)

Staff around the amenities are helpful and are welcoming.

Ok. I had never heard of this hotel prior to staying this stay. It was an overnight stay that was necessitated by the storm that shut down Dubai Airport. My wife knew or the hotel because it is a feature in a reality tv ahow called Dubai Bling. In any event, the lobby of the hotel is spectacular, as was the view from the upgraded room we got. It overlooked the Creek. Also, the staff was very friendly and helpful...but that is a standard in a 5* hotel in Dubai or anywhere in the Middle East, for that matter. Why did I give it a 3* having said what i just did? Well, the rooms were old. They have an old style. They felt old and felt like they needed to be upgraded. Dont get me wrong, they were clean. The room we were given was spacious and had a lovely Creek view. But it did not have that consistent feeling that is young, vibrant and fresh that characterises Dubai. We also happened to have dinner in the Italian restaurant in the hotel. Frankly, the restaurant decor was awful. The chairs were coated in what was undoubtedly rich curtain-style thick fabric in a kind of 1970s bad taste. For as fresh and impressive as the lobby looked, the rest of the hotel had that rundown look. It's not a property I would stay in again, Dubai Bling or not. I suppose its depth of character is consistent with the fickleness of that reality show.

The property was located near shopping, airport and convenient starting point to go to a lot of touristy areas.
