Great location, large rooms but unfortunately very old hotel: carpets and furnitures. For individuals who are suffering from allergies and asthma, not the right one. The staff is very professional and client oriented. Thank you very much for your understanding . I wish I would have stay for 10 days but my health state couldn’t handle the room carpet.

All in all great experience with a few issues mentioned at the end. Helpful staff, especially valet parking, luggage service, early check-in for us free of charge, early breakfast packaging for check-out and so on. Location is also very central (of course convenient only by car or taxi/Uber). Arslan from breakfast is excellent and friendly. He does his job perfectly. Also Raj from the garage (delivery point) is very nice, helpful and cheers you up each time you meet him. Abdullah from housekeeping (room cleaning) is the best I have seen in hotel service in his position. Fast, efficient, friendly and down to earth. A few issues: Elevators take a LONG time to arrive. Although most breakfast service people are great, a few times they forgot your orders, bring wrong ones, etc. TV is very dim, sound is very low and the broadcasting from an iPhone only works half of the time with lots of disconnections. Bathrobes had to be requested explicitly a couple of times (since forgotten), the reception only had 1-2 people and almost always busy with another guest which means waiting time. All in all a great experience and for Christmas and new year's time, we found a relatively good price for a 5-star hotel at this time. Recommended!

The location is easy to get around everywhere. At check-in, I wanted to book a spa appointment, but was told to go directly to the spa to book it myself. And I made a reservation in person, but it was not reserved on the day of the event. Why? It is a chain hotel, safe and secure. They are just handling the guests.

Helpful Servicecounter. Nice LUXURY room Airco worked perfectly. Clean room with hot water in short time. Good breakfast buffet with so friendly staff. High quality furniture as well. Especially the lobby is designed luxurious yet at the same time very tasteful. The lifeguard/host in the swimming pool area was super friendly and kind. We asked for silence no music at the pool. He instantly and in a very professional way responded and helped us with towels and other services in the most friendly way. I highly recommend a stay in this Hotel.

Good location, hotel near MRT as mentioned.

Really appreciate the good hospitality. Things to improve: water pressure from shower not strong and breakfast variety. Anyway, enjoyed my stay in Ibis Al Rigga.

I had a pleasant stay at the Ibis Styles Dubai Airport Hotel. It's conveniently located close to the airport, making it ideal for travelers with early or late flights. Rooms: The room was compact but well-designed, with comfortable bedding and modern decor. It was clean and equipped with essentials, including a coffee maker and toiletries. Great for a short stay. Dining: The breakfast buffet was diverse, with a good mix of continental and Middle Eastern options. The all-day café in the lobby was also a nice spot to grab a quick snack or coffee. Amenities: The hotel has a small gym and a cozy lounge area. There's also a shuttle service to the airport, which was very convenient. Service: The staff were friendly and efficient, always willing to help with requests. Check-in and check-out were smooth and quick.

I recently stayed at Mercure Dubai Barsha Heights, and my overall experience was very good. Although I spent my time here solo, the hotel is well-suited for families as it offers a welcoming and comfortable environment. The room I stayed in was spacious, clean, and well-maintained, providing a relaxing atmosphere. However, I did notice that the face and hand tissues were not replenished before my check-in, which was a small oversight that could easily be improved. What truly stood out was the warm hospitality and attentiveness of the reception staff. They were friendly, professional, and always ready to assist, which made the check-in and overall stay seamless. The food is good and the band Brio at Stellar Bar was very much entertaining, loved the burger at Social Lounge Cafe too! Overall, I had a satisfying stay and would recommend Mercure Hotel Barsha Dubai to anyone looking for comfort, great service, and good dining options in a convenient location. With a few minor improvements, this hotel has the potential to be exceptional.

Perfect hotel, location was ideal, the mall is literally across the road. The facilities provided by the hotel are perfect, indoor pool is heated and the views are breath taking. Breakfast as you can imagine being in Dubai is pretty much second to none. Although this time of year the outdoor pools and beach area are not much of Interest, as it is cold, however when the weather warms up, they are all on point.
