Hotels in Sheikh Zayed / DIFC, Dubai

Sometimes when people from the UK and perhaps Europe see the brand Novotel they may consider it being one of the less Premium brands however let me assure you the quality of the hotel the property facilities and especially the staff and those supporting the customer facing colleagues is absolutely superb, That said, and in my particular case, I use this hotel because it is connected to the WTC which offers immediate access into the same without stepping outside. I have been coming here for a great many years and will continue

The location is excellent, right next to a subway station, and there are many Indian restaurants nearby. I'm not sure if it's because it's the off-season, but breakfast has become extremely basic. It's very common to wait twenty minutes for the elevator when going downstairs after 9 AM, and the front desk said there's nothing they can do about it.

Great Location and Excellent Service Recovery We had a pleasant stay at Ibis One Central. The location is excellent—very convenient and within walking distance of several nice cafés, fancy restaurants and shops. Our room also had a lovely view facing the Burj Khalifa, which made the stay even more enjoyable. Some of the rooms have been recently renovated, so you may notice the fresh paint smell. We initially experienced a cleanliness issue with our first room, but the hotel manager handled the situation professionally and promptly arranged for us to move to another room. We really appreciated how efficiently the issue was resolved. Overall, we're grateful for the team's efforts and the excellent customer service. The combination of a great location, beautiful view, and responsive staff made our stay a positive experience.

My experience with Sofitel Dubai Downtown was outstanding from start to finish. I had originally booked the hotel for a friend, but when plans changed, the team was incredibly kind and accommodating in transferring the reservation to my name without any hassle. I then stayed at the hotel for 9 nights, and every aspect of the experience exceeded my expectations. The rooms were elegant, spacious, and impeccably maintained, the facilities were excellent, and the location was perfect for exploring Dubai. What truly stood out was the exceptional service—every staff member was professional, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to making guests feel welcome. The breakfast was fantastic, the atmosphere throughout the hotel was luxurious yet comfortable, and the attention to detail was evident in everything they did. After spending more than a week there, I can confidently say this hotel is absolute perfection. I would not hesitate to stay again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a first-class experience in Dubai.

Overall, my stay was very good. The hotel's location is excellent, making it super convenient for getting around, with plenty of dining and shopping options nearby. The room was clean and tidy, and the amenities were quite complete, making for a very comfortable stay. The staff were very helpful and always assisted promptly when needed. The hotel environment was generally quiet, and the hygiene was well-maintained. All in all, I was very satisfied with this stay and the value for money was good. I would definitely consider staying here again if I return to the area.

How wonderful place to stay~~!! It is too much enough for me and I love your team's attitude and nice smile.  Abdul thx for your kind help, it as also nice for us.  I have a mind to visit again and again.  I can say only one thing to all. ”Come and experience~~~!”

The Gevora Hotel is a lovely hotel, very well located, close to downtown Dubai and the Museum of the Future. There's also a metro station just a few steps away, making it super convenient for getting around Dubai's attractions. The room we were given on the 27th floor was very spacious and comfortable. Although the views were to one side of the building, given the hotel's height, you could still get great city views. The beds were comfy, the sheets clean, and the pillows were also comfortable. Our room had a kitchen, but in reality, you can only use the fridge as cooking isn't allowed in the apartment. However, it's useful if you want to bring in pre-made food or drinks. The breakfast was comprehensive and varied with different food selections; it just needed a little more fruit, but that's a minor detail. The only annoying thing was the construction noise around the hotel, which barely stops for a few hours in the early morning. But this is a constant issue in most Dubai hotels; there's construction everywhere, and it's hard to escape the noise. Another thing we suggested to the hotel is to renovate the carpets as they looked worn or stained in some places. Everything else was good. The pool and gym area were very nice and offered beautiful city views.

Overall, my stay was quite average and didn't really meet my expectations for a JW Marriott (five-star) hotel. I had booked a sea-view room, but upon check-in, I was informed that the building housing the sea-view rooms was temporarily closed, so I couldn't get the room type I had originally booked. The hotel assigned me to another building, stating it offered the best available view. However, the actual view was significantly different from the sea view shown on the booking page. What was particularly disappointing was that there was no prior notification, nor was any compensation or upgrade offered throughout the process. During my stay, I called the front desk to inquire about a late check-out. The first call was disconnected almost immediately after being answered—I'm not sure if it was an accidental hang-up or another reason—and I only managed to communicate successfully after calling a second time. Additionally, I noticed some red marks on my leg, possibly insect bites, during my stay. While I can't definitively link it to the hotel, I'd still recommend that the hotel enhance its pest control measures in the rooms. As for breakfast, the overall quality was decent, but the variety was quite ordinary, and there's definitely room for improvement compared to other five-star hotels of the same caliber. During this Dubai trip, I also stayed at The St. Regis and Kempinski Hotel Mall of the Emirates. In comparison, this hotel has room for improvement in terms of service details, overall stay experience, and honoring booked room types. I hope the hotel can further enhance its service quality in the future.

The hotel is quite old and definitely needs some renovation. Unfortunately, the swimming pool was under maintenance during our stay, so we didn’t get the chance to swim or enjoy the beautiful city view, which was one of the reasons we chose this hotel. The bathroom also needs improvement the shower knob was broken and didn’t work properly, making it inconvenient to use. On the positive side, the hotel staff upgraded our room from a Deluxe Room to a Suite, which we really appreciated. The food was also a highlight of our stay, with a great variety of delicious dishes to choose from. While we were grateful for the room upgrade and enjoyed the dining experience, the hotel’s aging facilities and maintenance issues affected our overall experience.

Overall, my stay was actually pretty good. I booked a suite, which was a one-bedroom, one-living room setup. It wasn't huge, but it was spacious enough, which was a plus. Parking was convenient; every time I drove there, I could use the valet parking directly, which was super handy. Calling the front desk for items was also very quick!
