Villa Rotana - Dubai  

Der erste Eindruck des Villa Rotana wurde sofort durch den überaus freundlichen und zuvorkommenden Service geprägt. Ich hatte bei der Buchungsanfrage nach einem Nichtraucher-Zimmer in den höheren Etagen gefragt. Man wies mich bei der Ankunft darauf hin, dass die nr Zimmer leider in den unteren Etagen sind und ich daher eine Wahl zu treffen habe. Ich entschied mich dann trotzdem für ein Zimmer in der 4. Etage (mit Blick zum Meer) und ich konnte keinen Rauchgeruch feststellen. Ein schönes, sehr gepflegtesZimmer mit kleiner Küchenzeile und tollem Badezimmer. Der Fitnessbereich des Hotels ist für mich perfekt ausgestattet gewesen und bei Fragen stand immer ein Trainer bereit. Bei Touren in die Innenstadt von Dubai ist die Metro vom Villa Rotana fußläufig zu erreichen. Möchte man lieber zu einem der verschiedenen Strände, kommt man hier unkompliziert mit dem Taxi hin. Hier aber am besten eine normale Hose zum Rüberziehen über die Badehose mitnehmen, da die Taxifahrer es verständlicherweise nicht so gerne sehen wenn man sich mit "Salzwasser-Badehose" in die Ledersitze setzt. Das Frühstück im Villa Rotana war üppig und mir fehlte dort nichts.

Der Pool-Bereich des Villa Rotana war zwar sehr schön, jedoch war die Ausrichtung der Sonnenliegen architektonisch bedingt nach Südosten. Hier half das Personal aber gerne diese gegen die Mittagszeit neu auszurichten. Wem das nicht gefällt, der kann aber jederzeit die mit dem Taxi erreichbaren 3 Strände in Dubai nutzen.

Waschbecken war verstopft. Wasser konnte nicht abrinnen.

The suite king room was realy comfortable and luxury. It was really good for family and they enjoy staying. Villa Rottan is a quiet hotel and not crowded due to limited rooms.

The location was perfect for me. Dubai Mall and Burj Khalifa are less than 10 min drive from the hotel. The price for the location and the size of the room is considered so cheap.

1) The breakfast variety was good but most of the food was in small plates which made it finish so fast and people had to wait until they refill it again which took quite alot of time. This was espically frastrating for the bread. I don't find any good reason to have tiny baskets of bread available when you know everyone needs bread in their breakfast!! It literly took longer time for them to refill the baskets than the time the basket got empty after refilling it!!! 2) The room service guys didn't empty the trash cans when they cleaned the room although it was full. I don't know the reason but I didn't like it!! 3) The room cards automatically disableat at 12 pm of your day of departure which is a headache if you had to check out late!!

I have stayed 3 nights on the weekend of uae national day, the location was good, 5 minutes away from Dubai mall by taxi and 2 minutes walking distance from metro station. Staff was helpful and friendly, room was spacious and clean, kitchenette fully equipped and would be ideal for long stay trips, room service was fast and food was good, very quite and cozy rooms.

The insistence of housekeeping in knocking the room door 9 am was bit of annoying, I understand I should put "Don't Disturb" sign but nonetheless they should be less insisting specially on the morning of weekends. Breakfast was basic, they should have added more stuff to the menu.

The location of the hotel is excellent

Underground parking are narrow and its difficult to park ur car.

Private Parking

Breakfast as part of package is only for Buffet. It would be nice to have it in room.

Room space

Internet access is not free

Close to (Business Bay) metro. Pleasant rooms, comfortable (if quite soft) beds, reasonable bathroom. Very attentive staff at desk and in cafe. Good breakfast - and cafe stays open 24 hours (we arrived in small hours and had good, fast dinner). Pleasant pool on roof with views. Overall, pleasant, good value choice.

Location is not good if you want to be able to walk out to a variety of restaurants and shopping locally - you need to stay further along Sheikh Zayed Road for that. But it is very close to the excellent metro and is well-placed for trips North and South (eg to Dubai Marina).

Spacious room and location.

They couldn't give us a two bed room like they promised and instead just provided us with two extra beds that were very uncomfortable. Also, the internet was very difficult to access and very expensive.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Hotel has a nice clean feel.

My room looked out on to a carpark - not the most inspiring view!

The position close to the metro station

The kitchenette was very badly equipped
