Top Za'abeel Hotel Reviews

Rove Downtown Dubai

10/10 Excellent

"Excelente limpieza, atención y ubicación"

Roda Al Murooj Residences

8/10 Good

"Lovely team at check in at Swiss Hotel, but had to get a golf cart around the corner to the correct Al Murooj check in, then again on to the Lavender building, they kindly gave me a 2 bed upgrade from a one bed, the location is probably the best in Dubai, I know the complex well. Huge apartment, lovely clean beds, and great to have a full kitchen and washer/tumble dryer. Good WiFi and appreciated the bottled water. Bathroom needs maintenance as the plugs in the bath didn't work(reported but not fixed) and although large en suites, a bit tired. Overall I loved my stay as have friends nearby, Lambos late at night on the main road were a pain, but the Dubai police should deal with that, I was on the 4th Floor. I will be back though.....great price and worth it to have such a big apartment, walk to both DIFC mall (brekkie options and lovely ac) and the main Dubai Mall. location location location....."
