Raffles Dubai

Excellent! I was really worried the hotel would be old when I booked it, but to my surprise, it's incredibly well-maintained.

This hotel is directly connected to Wafi Mall, which has an Egyptian design, and the staff's service was excellent from check-in to check-out. For breakfast, we were given a menu at our table and could order whatever we liked. The staff came quickly whenever we called them, without any significant wait. All the dishes were delicious. The room was meticulously clean down to the smallest detail, and the size was more than adequate, making for a very comfortable stay. The balcony was also spacious, perfect for relaxing with your feet up during cooler seasons.

We were given a room on the 6th floor with amazing views, including a distant view of the Burj Khalifa. Ctrip stated that breakfast started at 6 AM, but it actually begins at 7 AM. There's complimentary valet parking, and two gas stations are conveniently located near the hotel (a good tip for rental cars: fill up the night before if you're returning the car at the airport the next day). The breakfast had many made-to-order options and tasted great. The hotel's environment is superb, right next to a mall and a Carrefour supermarket. I regret not staying an extra day!

The hotel's location is convenient, just a 5-minute walk from the metro station. The ancient Egyptian style is very unique, and the rooms are spacious with excellent views of the Dubai skyline. Breakfast is à la carte and very tasty. The facilities are complete, and the service is attentive, truly befitting a seasoned five-star hotel.

First time staying here. The architecture is unique and the room is special.
