Villa Rotana

A modern boutique hotel, looks attractive from the outside and very spacious and comfortable from the inside. My room was also very spacious and the staff kept it clean and tidy every day. They also kept track of when I left so they would clean the room while I was gone. Whenever I asked for anything it was done right away, very enjoyable stay, a classy quiet hotel for a long trip to Dubai, I would stay there again :) The in-room dining was not so incredible, given the choices and quality of food in Dubai. The breakfast buffet was good, but always the same. Sometimes they would vacuum the corridors at 10 in the morning while I'm sleeping, but this served as a wake up call to get up and enjoy the day outside rather than in bed !!

Modern, fresh, friendly.

The hotel is very new and kept spotless. It would easily be a 5 star hotel in Europe. It's stylish and modern but nevertheless has some character. I was allowed to use a meeting room for a 2 hours meeting during my stay at no extra charge. Fruit in the room, breakfast included in the rate, kitchenette in the room, LCD screen etc are all very nice touches. I was pushed to accept private transportation back to the airport at a much higher fare than a taxi. I had specifically asked for a standard taxi and Reception found all sorts of excuses to make me use the hotel transportation. Having this been my last conversation with the hotel staff, it left a better taste in my mouth, in spite of having enjoyed my 4 night stay at the hotel thoroughly. The hotel needs to review this policy or guests might find this a reason not to return.
