Rove Downtown

The room was clean, just like it was a few years ago when I stayed here. The lobby was very welcoming.

I found the location a bit inconvenient because it's quite far from the metro station. Even taking the shuttle to Dubai Mall, there's still a long walk involved. If you don't mind taking taxis, then this point is negligible. The hotel breakfast was good, and the à la carte options were even better. There's a supermarket and a coffee shop in the lobby, which is great for breakfast or even picking up souvenirs, and they even have Häagen-Dazs!

Right next to the Burj Khalifa, in an area where every inch is precious, 1200 a night offers decent value for money. The room was small, and cleanliness was just okay, but the service was good. There's a construction site nearby, so I recommend taking the hotel's free shuttle to Dubai Mall – it only takes 5 minutes. Walking there yourself will make you question your life choices! The hotel also offers shuttles to Al Seef (the Iranian town), Souk Madinat Jumeirah, and the beach. I'd advise planning your schedule around these shuttles to save a lot on taxi fares, as taxis in Dubai are really expensive! The breakfast selection was limited and didn't really cater to a Chinese palate; I suggest just ordering a sunny-side-up egg, at least that's edible. The Dubai chocolate in the hotel's small shop is cheaper than in Dubai Mall, so I recommend buying it there.

Great location, very close to Dubai Mall on foot. The overall vibe of this hotel is better than the Rove City Centre Hotel near the airport. Perhaps the higher floor we stayed on added to the visual appeal. However, it's still about a 10-minute walk to the nearest metro station.

A hotel that exceeded my expectations! First off, the location is super convenient. You can walk to Dubai Mall and easily explore the entire mall plus the Burj Khalifa in one day. For dining, they've brought in a Fridays American restaurant. It's a mix of à la carte and buffet style, and everything I ordered was pretty good, no duds. There's also a convenience store right next to the restaurant with a great selection of bread, light meals, and snacks. The cleanliness is very well maintained; everything is spotless, and hot water for showers and such is always available. I'm quite sensitive to noise. My room faced the Burj Khalifa, and I could hear some traffic noise, but it was very manageable and didn't disturb my sleep. Overall, I still highly recommend it! Even though there was a premium due to peak season, I still feel it was worth it.

The hotel environment is fantastic! All the staff are incredibly friendly and polite, and the location is excellent, making it super convenient for getting around. Five stars all the way! I'll definitely be back!

The lobby has a great design, and for breakfast, you can choose between a buffet or à la carte. The hotel view is really nice, and the overall atmosphere is very chill. If you turn left out of the main entrance, you can walk to Dubai Mall in just a few minutes.
