Ibis Dubai Al Rigga Hotels in Dubai

Ibis Dubai Al Rigga

"I recently stayed at Ibis Al Rigga and overall had an average experience. Service: 4/5 The staff were friendly, professional, and accommodating throughout my stay. Check-in and check-out were smooth, and they responded well when I raised concerns about my room. I appreciate that they took action when I requested assistance. Facilities: 2/5 The facilities need significant improvement, particularly in terms of maintenance. The first room I stayed in had a noticeable bad smell that made me keep sneezing and feel uncomfortable. It reached a point where I preferred staying outside rather than inside the room. By day 3, I couldn’t tolerate the smell and discomfort anymore, so I requested either a room change or an air purifier. The staff transferred me to a non-carpeted room, which was much better and more comfortable. This experience suggests that certain rooms, especially carpeted ones, may require better ventilation, deep cleaning, or maintenance checks. Food: 3/5 The food was average — decent variety and acceptable taste, but nothing particularly memorable. There is room for improvement in terms of selection and overall flavor. Overall, the hotel is in a convenient location and has good service, but improvements in room maintenance would greatly enhance the guest experience."

Premier Inn Dubai International Airport – An Emirates Group Company Hotels in Dubai

Premier Inn Dubai International Airport – An Emirates Group Company

"I recently had a booking at Premier Inn Dubai International Airport and unfortunately had to request a cancellation due to unforeseen circumstances. My Emirates flight schedule was changed as a result of the ongoing Middle East situation, which significantly affected my travel plans. I reached out to the hotel to request a cancellation and refund, explaining the situation. While I understand that hotels may be facing financial pressures during challenging times, it was disappointing that no flexibility or consideration was given under these exceptional circumstances. Situations like this are beyond a guest’s control, and a more empathetic and accommodating approach from management would go a long way. Not only would it support guests during difficult times, but it would also build long-term loyalty and encourage future stays. As it stands, the lack of flexibility has left a less favourable impression, despite the hotel’s otherwise convenient location and reputation. I hope the management can take this into consideration and adopt a more customer-focused approach moving forward."

Grand Mercure Dubai City Hotels in Dubai

Grand Mercure Dubai City

"Subject: Serious Complaint Regarding Elevator Incident and Unprofessional Conduct I recently had an alarming and deeply upsetting experience at your hotel. I became stuck in the elevator with no ability to go up or down. Despite repeatedly pressing the alarm and knowing there was a camera present, no one responded. This caused me significant distress, leading to a headache and a full-blown anxiety attack. Thankfully, the elevator eventually descended on its own, allowing me to get out. Following this, I reported the issue to the cluster duty manager, Zakariyae Bensbih. Unfortunately, his response was shockingly unprofessional. He offered what seemed like a minimal gesture of compensation—one free meal for myself and a friend, with 50% off for any additional friends—then changed the terms entirely. Worse, he spoke rudely and disrespectfully to his own staff in front of guests, which was both embarrassing and unacceptable. During our visit, my friends and I witnessed Mr. Bensbih yelling at Ferdous from the restaurant team, who was simply doing his job. Ferrous was polite and professional throughout, and did not deserve that treatment. On a more positive note, I want to commend Sarita, who was incredibly helpful, kind, and welcoming. She was a bright spot in an otherwise disappointing experience. I would not recommend staying at this hotel due to the lack of safety and professionalism I encountered."

Gevora Hotel ★★★★
"We had a good time mat Gevora… we can literally spend days inside the hotel because it has a lot of activities inside. The food from the M restaurant wasn’t not nice. The elevator crowded so it takes time. The pool was great SHUVO was at great service and he’s a very nice person, making sure we are ok, and he could go help me with the sauna and steam. A time was had. I highly recommend it’s a very convenient place for most of the things in the downtown and close to Burj Khalifa"

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.
