Raffles Dubai

This is an old gem (almost 20 years old) which needs a bit of polishing to shine like it used to be.. Afternoon tea at the Raffles salon was average. Breakfast at Azur was average. I would like to thank Donna at the front desk for facilitation.

I really enjoyed my experience here. The place was beautiful, comfortable, and very relaxing. The service was excellent and the staff were friendly and helpful. The facilities were clean and well organized, and the overall atmosphere was رائع. I would definitely recommend it and would love to visit again😊

This is a good hotel with excellent facilities. It is conveniently located next to a shopping mall — not a large one, but still quite adequate. However, the staff did not appear to be well trained. At check-in, the reception did not request a room deposit, and later staff came to our room to remove the minibar, which was unexpected and not the level of service one would anticipate from a five-star hotel. Their stated standards seem to be ahead of their actual service delivery.

I was really happy to stay in Raffles Dubai hotel. When I come back in Dubai again I definitely stay in Raffles hotel again.

Usually, I don’t like to complain, but this time I have to share what I experienced in this hotel. I don’t think this hotel is worth such a high rate. First of all, the staff treats guest like a fool. When I came back to my room, I smelled the cigarettes in the corridor(especially in front of my room and the room next to mine)and I asked the cleaning staff (who was standing there)whether someone smoked in this non-smoking floor. But this staff said it was just the smell of perfume. How cannot a human being distinguish the smell of cigarettes and perfume? The I asked the front desk to check out this issue. However, I waited 2 hours but no one replied. And then I had to call the front desk again, the room-reservation manager said they found out that the guest next to my room did smoke. I don’t understand why the cleaning staff lied in the beginning and the manager didn’t reply until the guest called again. Secondly, the cleaning is not thorough at all. Look at the bathtub. It is full of muddy water. And the mug cup is full of ashes or scratches. Also, the staff didn’t refill the amenities on the second day. And even just left the leftover bottle water there. Thirdly, the hygiene of breakfast is worrisome. The watermelon tasted like already rotten. But the restaurant manager said it was just this kind of taste. Obviously, both cleanings staff and restaurant managers don’t listen to what the customers say but stick to what they feel. Also, you can see flies on bread and fruits in the restaurant. There are also other issues the hotel can improve, such as the motivation of receptionist for breakfast.

Check-in process was smooth and fast. Friendly frontdesk team. We have to leave to the airport within 45 minutes and has asked the restaurant manager to serve us quickly and the kitchen team really did their job in serving us really quick. Satisfying breakfast before we left to the airport!

Luxury and the best service

Nice hotel, spacious rooms and extremely friendly staff.

My first stay in Dubai was at Raffles Hotel, and it was an incredible experience. The service was excellent throughout my stay. I especially want to thank Mohamed and Folefel for their outstanding hospitality — they were warm, attentive, and made me feel truly welcome. Because of them and the overall amazing service, I definitely want to come back again!
