    The service and attention from all the staff is excellent from the very beginning. A real pleasure to have been hosted in the hotel. Directly connected with the Wafi Mall wihout going outside. Pool and gym available. Excellent rooms and beds. Located on the way between the airport and the main street Zeikh Zayed. Metro station 200 m

    We recently had the pleasure of staying at the iconic Raffles Dubai AGAIN, and I must say it was an experience beyond compare. From the moment we stepped foot into the luxurious lobby to the final farewell, every aspect of my stay was meticulously curated to perfection. First and foremost, I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to the exceptional staff members who made my stay truly memorable. Ashraf, our dedicated Butler, ensured that every request was met with utmost efficiency and warmth. A special mention goes out to Woulstain, the Food & Beverage Outlets Manager, who orchestrated delightful culinary experiences throughout my stay. His expertise in curating gastronomic delights tailored to my preferences was truly commendable. Yousef and Priyanka, the talented individuals behind the breakfast magic at the restaurant, served up delectable dishes with unparalleled finesse. Talha, the vigilant member of the security team, ensured a sense of safety and security at all times, allowing us to relax and enjoy our stay with peace of mind. Jolly and Manan at the reception desk greeted us with warmth and efficiency, swiftly attending to all formalities and ensuring a seamless check-in/out process. Furthermore, Joanna and Queenie, the dedicated members of the guest relations team, went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of my stay exceeded expectations. Their attentiveness and willingness to cater to our needs were truly remarkable. Not to be forgotten are the unsung heroes like James, the doorman, whose cheerful demeanor and assistance added an extra layer of warmth to my Raffles experience. As a family holiday destination, Raffles Dubai surpassed all expectations, making it our second consecutive visit and leaving us eagerly anticipating many more to come! The seamless blend of luxury, comfort, and personalized service ensured that every member of our family felt pampered and cherished throughout our stay.

    The staff were amazing, friendly courteous and discreet. The room was serviced exceptionally well with my requests for extra water and coffee always to hand, very happy helpful butler. The pool facilities were excellent, very clean beautiful towels and comfy loungers. I had only had the A la Carte breakfast in the Raffles Salon which was delicious with fresh brewed coffee!

    There was absolutely nothing we didn’t like or could criticise in the slightest.

    The location. The design and architecture of the hotel. Our room. The staff. The amazing breakfast. The Club Lounge and staff. The cleanliness. In fact we ‘loved’ absolutely everything about this hotel.

    Pool was being serviced during our stay but alternative arrangements were provided at Wafi a few minutes away

    Beautiful hotel that is well equipped and very clean. Attention to detail was good with welcome chocolate and a bookmark provided when they noticed a book on my nightstand. Breakfast buffet had a very wide selection and was delicious, and room type included access to the club lounge with complimentary drinks and canapés in the evening. Staff were friendly and attentive without being intrusive. Location is good, 15 minutes from Dubai Mall etc. Asked for a softer pillow and it was provided. Solo restaurant on the 3rd floor was delicious, and hotel is connected to Wafi mall which is convenient. All together a great stay!
