Amazing hotel interior and very cozy. Would like to commend all the hotel receptionists who assisted us during our 2night stay. They’re very friendly and helpful especially Sarban who helped us sort out some requests.
Complimentary breakfast is average and nothing special, very limited choices but overall, service is great!
Loving my stay here. Super comfortable and spacious room, with so many options for food within and around the vicinity of the hotel. Proximity to Dubai Marina mall is also great, I enjoyed walking to the Marina Walk. The Team is so diligent, thanks to Zahid for always keeping my room fresh. Always felt good to come back to some creative arrangement.
Happened to visit Asiana Hotel Dubai, very nice experience. Rooms are spacious, very well maintained. Ambience is good. Food is awesome. Not too expensive. Nice hospitality and room service. Special thanks to Mr. Sami from sales. He was very gracious to show the rooms and all the features of the Hotel. Looking forward to coming back and stay in this hotel. Overall it was a great experience.
A beautiful place, super clean rooms, and great staff! They will find exactly what you need and make it happen. Even brought me a cake to my room because it was my birthday during my stay. Jude was a great help throughout the whole process!
Great place for long or short stay!
Also amazing housekeeping services - especially Nadraj making the stay that much more comfortable and clean!
Excellent place today with beautiful sea view plus marina and Dubai eye views. Huge swimming pool and fun crazy river. Very relaxing at night. We also really enjoyed the restaurants there particularly West14th.. Very premium quality Steak house with wonderful services. Highly recommended
What an experience! It felt like I am in a 5 starts hotel. Room is amazing and clean, staff and service rate excellent. The food was delicious and the ambiance was amazing. My new favorite hotel.
We stayed here for about 5 months and we had an amazing time. We booked 2connected rooms so we got more space. We loved it. Staff was always on top of their game and every minor issue we had was resolved in no time. The hotel is very clean, and housekeeping team was very accommodating. Free parking and discount for eating in the restaurant. Family friendly. Great food! The only issue is the traffic at certain times but if you plan carefully or you don’t use a car for transportation then this is an amazing place. Amazing location, plenty of eateries around to choose from, 3 min walk to the marina walk. Highly recommend this hotel.
I would like to share about an amazing experience in Rove City Center! So great approach of staff, so easy communication, professionalism, positive vibe in every corner!
Every time I stay in Rove I feel myself as a part of family! My special applause to Melissa and her Daily team for incredible service and warm sincere smiles! Well done team!!!
Definitely will be back and have already recommended this property to a couple of my friends!
Wish you all the best!
Regards, Iuliia!
Grade A service, something you can rarely see nowadays.
One of the nicest hotels I’ve been too in a really long time, as soon as we arrived at the hotel we were greeted with a warm welcome.
Rooms are completely sanitized & clean and are very cozy & sound-proof. Room service is exceptional and quick, everything was delivered to the room within minutes.
Very efficient and friendly staff members!
Loved every single bit of this hotel and experience except it did not have a bathtub. That's the only reason I gave it four stars instead of five. I would definitely stay at this place again it made me feel like I was submerged into the culture.
A historical and emblematic ship, boat or hotel. Still it is an opportunity don't to be miss. The hotel is good, good bedroom size, well equipped and all the facilities expected, amazing sea view. Q2 part of the Cunard Line and the if you visit you can ask for a walk tour around the ship, you could visit the casino, decks, machine room and captains room, full of the history and the guide is phenomenal.
The restaurant is also pretty good and the sunset view from the deck is extraordinary.
Very happy and surprised by room, service, breakfast and staff. We chose a junior suite for an absolute bargain rate and it had everything we needed including a travel cot. We felt completely safe in the hotel. The proximity to a reasonable car park was also a bonus. Overall we were delighted with our stay.
It's a good five star Hotel that's affordable in downtown. The service was nice and the interior was beautiful. Can't say much as I went there for a short visit
Stunning lobby and pool. Reception colleagues were very friendly! Thank you so much for an amazing but very short stay. I have to return back for sure!! Love it ❤ ❤ ❤
I loved the hotel over all, i stayed in room #407 i beleive. check in was smooth, very calm place room and bed was awsome, cleanliness was topnoch. Totally i loved this hotel.
A serene experience is how I would describe my time here. Truly recommended for an amazing relaxing time watching the sunset while sitting by the waves.
My visit was to catch up with friends over a good cup of coffee. Haven’t yet had a chance to savour the food, saving that for my next trip!
This place is a hidden gem in Dubai.
Pros:
- Cozy and comfortable rooms.
- Excellent location. Easy access to Metro and mall of emirates.
- Friendly staff.
- Good concierge services.
Cons:
- Lack of trust. Need to go every day to get room card activated.
