Andy MB

Gevora Hotel ★★★★
"Stayed here recently for a short staycation and overall had a pleasant experience, particularly considering the very reasonable rate we paid for a suite. The hotel itself is certainly impressive visually, with its distinctive golden tower design and famous status as one of Dubai’s landmark hotels. Check-in and valet parking were efficient, the elevators were surprisingly quick for such a tall building, and the room itself was clean and well maintained. We also ordered room service during our stay and found the food tasty, reasonably priced, and delivered promptly. One thing I did not realise when booking is that this is a dry hotel, so alcohol is not served anywhere on the property. That was my oversight rather than the hotel’s, but it may be useful information for future guests to know in advance. Our suite was spacious and more apartment-style in layout, with a separate bedroom and kitchen area. However, the overall setup felt quite minimalist in terms of amenities and furnishings. Although the suite includes a kitchen, there are notices advising guests not to use it, and aside from two drinking glasses there were no utensils, crockery, or cutlery provided. Similarly, amenities throughout the room felt limited to the basics: two guests but only two bath towels, two rolls of toilet paper across two bathrooms, and minimal additional furnishings such as sofa cushions or dining seating around the kitchen counter area. The room itself was comfortable enough, although there were a few practical details that impacted sleep quality for us. The illuminated touch-panel light controls remain quite bright overnight, and once your eyes adjust the room never becomes fully dark. There was also overnight construction noise nearby during our stay, although of course that may be temporary and outside the hotel’s control. Guests sensitive to light or noise may wish to keep this in mind. Another thing worth noting is that many rooms appear to face sideways toward neighbouring towers rather than directly toward Sheikh Zayed Road or the coastline, so lower-floor rooms may have fairly limited views depending on their orientation. Overall, I would say the stay represented fair value for the price we paid. While it may not feel especially luxurious or fully equipped compared with some other Dubai four-star properties, it was clean, efficient, and suitable for a short stay, particularly for guests looking for a well-located and affordable suite-style hotel experience."

Novotel Bur Dubai ★★★★
"First two nights stay the service was good, but on the 3rd night we experienced delay in requesting new towels. We ask to change towels from 12pm and i have to call 3times to follow up, then received the towel by 6pm. The breakfast menu was the same everyday for the 3nights that weve stayed, only the indian cuisine was being changed. The free water in the bottle should be discontinued or improve the quality. We receive some bottle which was not properly cleaned and you can see the stain on the bottle cover. The room needs to undergo deep cleaning and proper maintenance. Toilet exhaust was not working properly and floor drain is leaking foul odour. You can also see old water marks in the toilet ceiling and floor tiles needs to be scrubbed and deep cleaned. Pest control needs to implemented as well, we found some toilet moths/drain flies inside the toilet. The carpet needs to be cleaned thoroughly, stains are visible and you can see the difference of the carpet color from under the bed. The sofa bed cover needs to be replaced, it was not fitted properly on the sofa and you can still see marks of stain from juice spill. Also, sofa bed was very dusty. The bed headboard has red/brown stain and i was hopeful it was just paint or make-up. Dusts were all around the corner. Room was not sound proof. Overall, since I booked the room at a discounted price i was not expecting high quality. But if you will be booking this at a normal price, they need to improve their facilities and services. The only best thing i can highlight during my stay was the excellent service of the Bar Tender on poolside cafe, the chef that was cooking my omellete for breakfast, the busboy who serves our table, and the housekeeping team on our first two nights of stay."

Dubai International Airport (DXB): Located about 3.1 miles (5 km) east of the city centre, DXB is the main gateway for global travellers and one of the busiest airports worldwide. It offers multiple terminals, extensive passenger facilities, and is well-connected to the city by metro, taxis, and buses.

Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC): Situated around 31 miles (50 km) southwest of central Dubai, DWC is the city’s second international airport. Still expanding, it currently serves fewer flights but has ambitious plans to become the world’s largest airport, with future operations including Emirates and Flydubai. Transport options include taxis, buses, and ride-hailing services.
