    The only frustrating part of my stay was the parking process. When I arrived, no one from the staff informed me that my car plate needed to be approved to pass the parking gate. As a result, I ended up waiting 15 minutes and had to call reception while other cars queued behind me. For a first-time guest, this was inconvenient and unnecessary stress.

    I recently stayed at Raffles Dubai in a Signature Room, and overall, the experience was truly fantastic. The hotel itself is stunning — from the unique architecture and elegant decoration to the luxurious furniture and well-maintained facilities. The restaurant staff were excellent, attentive, and welcoming, and the quality of food was exceptional. Everything reflected the high standard you would expect from Raffles.

    Skyline view, higher floor level are needed otherwise you’re facing too much the pool

    Depending on what you plan to do, this might be the best place to stay! Travelling for vacation or with my family (Teenagers) this is good for one or two nights only. If you want to go to the beach, look for something else. If you’re travelling on Business or sightseeing, this is the best place in Dubai! Book a club room, it pays out as you have a stunning breakfast and a very delicious afternoon tea free of charge. We never went to the other options as there are so many beautiful food places in Dubai. The skyline view is the best you can imagine and I come to Dubai over 20 years. You get your own balcony which I find huge with big chairs. Size of rooms generous, same as the bathroom. Highly recommended!

    We were mistakenly put in a smoking room but it was generously rectified without hassle.

    The service was impeccable and the rooms sizes are spacious. The breakfast is plentiful with a la carte options. The pool area is really beautiful. It was a perfect layover hotel for us due to its airport proximity.

    I didn’t like that club lounge access (I had during my stay) was timed for canapés for 2 hours from 6-8 pm (the place was packed) , rather than a a privilege place to hang /chilled and relaxed, got converted into canteen or breakfast buffet rushing for groups.

    Large room and balcony with class touches. Bit dated though.

    Underground parking was spacious but whenever I try to go out with my car, I must check my car number at the concierge, it was a litte bit bothersome.

    It could use a little bit of modernization here and there but it fits the Egyptian theme.
