"The best part of this hotel is the service and the staff — very friendly and extremely courteous. Their warmth more than makes up for any small shortcomings during the stay. The location is fantastic if you want to explore historic Dubai and be close to all the main shopping areas. The hotel features a charming courtyard with a vintage, antique-style setup. Breakfast is Arabic and absolutely amazing. Overall, a mesmerizing stay — though the cost is a bit on the higher side compared to other...

"First of all, checkinn was 2 pm. But we had to wait till 3pm because the room was not ready. No sorry nothing. The reception lady and the manager on duty didn't even greet properly. None of the days we were there. Imagine it's a small hotel and you have to past them every day. They just look at you. The sink had a blockage, so the water didn't flow and there was a smell in the bathroom. No separation between toilet and bath so the whole bathroom was full with water. On our 3rd day somebody was...

JW Marriott Marquis Hotel Dubai

JW Marriott Marquis Hotel Dubai

10/10 Excellent
"My suite was clean and neat. The staff immediately greeted me upon entering the front door and immediately helped me with check-in. They offered information regarding upgrades for my suite and arranged transportation when I needed it. Someone sent me flowers and they weee delivered to my room. My clothes were washed and folded as request. My undergarments weren’t properly cleaned since I was leaving the next day there was no time to have them laundered again. The proper is absolutely beautiful. The Spa was fabulous. I enjoyed my first time in Dubai. It was a wonderful experience. New Year’s Eve celebration was really nice as well. The hotel was easy to find and close to where I needed me to go even with rush hour traffic."
