Guest Reviews

• Muhammad Manzoor (6/5): - Average hotel at higher price
• Suresh (6/5): - Low service in all expects
• Dave (2/5): Transferred to another hotel-supposed fire????? - Arrived after midnight from 8 hr flight and with 3 young children under 6 yrs old-unpacked from taxi only to be told there had been a fire on our floor and we were to be transferred to another hotel. We had already paid taxi and had to repay again to be transferred to next hotel-not impressed. Hotel we were taken to would have been nice 25 years ago but was old an outdated. Asked the manager there about why we were transferred and was told that the other hotel had been overbooked. Both hotels belong to the same group so who was telling the truth??? Not a good welcome to Duhai
• Josepp (8/5): Suitably located hotel to metro station - It is the fifth time that I have stayed in the hotel. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The hotel is within ealking distance of the Fahidi metro station on the green line. The only negative comment this time is the tap and bath water looked rusty and I had to use bottled water to brush my teeth.
• Verified traveler (2/5): No good - 1. bed bug 2. bed bug 3. blood sucking bed bug !!!
• Guy (8/5): courte halte dans un pays futuriste a - Petite halte sympathique a DUBAI. Ville propre et dementielle, taxis et metro pas chers et tres courtois. Restaurants assez chers. Bon sejour dans l'ensemble.
• sisters' trip (8/5): nice hotel close to metro and shops - this is my third time as very helpful staff and hotel 5mins walk to metro, restaurants, mall and much more and nice spacious rooms
• SG (10/5): Nice apartment hotel in a great location. - I booked the cheapest room (Executive Studio) and when I checked-in I couldn't believe how large the room was, it felt more like a 1 bedroom apartment rather than a studio. It was clean and had everything I needed apart from a safe. The Wi-Fi was only 50 AED for 4 days which is great value and the connection was fast and reliable. It doesn't have the polish of a 5-star hotel but for the price it's great value. Close to everything including a metro station. The only downside I had was that they don't allow guests in the rooms.
• PAUL (6/5): In need of better maintenance and housekeeping - The hotel offers well-priced spacious family accommodation in the heart of Bur Dubai. It is next to a good quality 24-hour supermarket and on a bustling road with restaurants open until the early hours of the morning. Taxis are easy to find and there are good shopping malls and sightseeing places nearby. The staff are generally friendly and helpful. But the quality of room maintenance and standard of housekeeping leave a lot to be desired. There should be a checklist system used by staff to make sure rooms meet minimum standards.
• CC (4/5): Not a Sweet Rose - I needed a hotel room for my family of 4 for an extended overnight layover. The only reason I booked at Desert Rose was that there weren't many hotels near the airport with 2 king beds in one suite. When we arrived, the front desk staff said the 2-bedroom rooms were all full (supposedly someone didn't check out on that day when they were supposed to leave). He was very apologetic and gave us 2 adjacent rooms with 1 king bed each. I wasn't happy about it, but I didn't want to try to find another hotel at the last minute. He tried to appease us by giving us free wifi and morning shuttle to the airport which was a nice gesture, but that didn't make up for the room problem. The rooms smelled like mildew and the bathrooms did not feel clean at all. There was a cockroach in the kitchenette in one of them. The "ding" from the elevator shaft was also very loud and kept my wife and me up for most of the night. To end our stay there, the shuttle to the airport was late, and we ended up just grabbing a taxi out front.
• Prabir Paul (2/5): Many of its declarations are lie or not correct - The Desert Rose apartment hotel in Dubai is not a quality hotel. It lies in the heart of the town but not have the standard neither as 4 or 3.5 stars as it define itself. Only positive thing for the apartments are its space. Many things in the apartments are not functioning. None of the apartments has any safety box in the room. Breakfast and foods in the hotel is nearmost costly, you can eat food in same standard & types in half price if you take only 4-5 minuts walk. It smels some strange in the lift and in apartments- could be a result of cleaning materials they used. I do not recommend this hotel to any one.
• Verified traveler (4/5): Kaikin puolin kulunut - Hinta-laatusuhteeltaan OK. Yleisessä siisteydessä hieman toivomisen varaa. Hotellin henkilökunta jakautui karkeasti kahtia - kohteliaisiin ja valppaisiin asiakaspalvelijoihin sekä ryppyotsaisiin tuijottajiin. Sijainniltaan loistopaikka metron lähellä, joten jos majapaikan taso ei ole tärkein kriteeri lomalla, niin tuonne halpamatkailemaan.
• John (6/5): Convenient No Frills City Center Stay - The hotel has a number of contrasting aspects. The Reception and Reservations staff are excellent but the Housekeeping staff are very poor. Mt reservations, check-in and other communication with the hotel before and during my staff were very good. But I had to call Housekeeping to my room because of a lack of plugs, towels, chairs, etc. It seems that no pre-occupation room check is done. I then almost had to beg for some standard items, being told they would check if they were available.
• Jojo (2/5): Stads hotell - Desert Rose Hotel Apartments Byggnaden var stor med mycket potential. På bilderna var hotellet rent och såg ut att vara större än vad det egentligen var. I verkligheten så var rummen smutsiga, möblerna var gamla, trasiga och smutsiga. Det fanns även mögel på kakelgolvet, fuktflugor och andra insekter och även hår på golven och på sängkasten. Poolen var tydligen avstängd, gymmet också, och det står inte något om det vid resans beställning. Personalen sa olika om transporten till flygplatsen. Köket i lägenheten saknades bestick, glas, tallrikar osv. i köket. Balkongdörrarna gick inte att öppna. Personalen var mycket otrevliga. De lyssnade knappt på vad man sade och vände sig om och totalt ointresserade. En fördel var dock att hotellet låg nära metron, vilket bidrog till ett enklare sätt att ta sig fram i staden. Tyvärr så låg hotellet ganska långt bort från stranden och andra sevärdheter. Jag är mycket besviken och inte alls nöjd med hotellet.
• Shaddy (6/5): Hotel in Indian district - The hotel was in a nice area, an Indian district close to the nice Asian bazaars and a short ride to the old souk and gold souk. The hotel had no information in the room about facilities all the local area and it generally seemed unloved, with grout coming off the tiles and mould on the chopping board. There was not enough crockery, only 4 cups, four plates, four goals etc, which in a self catering apartment is not really sufficient and we had to ask for a lot of the basics like a kettle etc. Hotel staff were friendly and the apartment was clean. The apartment was absolutely huge, and was the only room with three bathrooms (room number 315). The gym was really big and seem to well-equipped, there was a steam sauna and a dry sauna, and a small but deep swimming pool on the roof.
• Verified traveler (2/5): Bad Experience - The bed felt like springs covered with a little clothm hurt all the time.I left the hotel 3 days early because it was so bad, the staff seemed very eager to please but then my mini HP computer dissapeared when they did the loading of my bags into the cab..................can I rate this place as a negative one on the number scale??Will not stay there again.P
• olubunmi (8/5): - Breakfast should be included in all package. Having to pay for internent access should be reconsidered
• don (10/5): great place - I will be back . the staff was great and so very helpfull . nice rooms .
• Carina (4/5): - Daglig städning ok, för övrigt smutsigt, typ lister, kontakter m m. Vi hade bokat rum med balkong vilket vi inte fick. Flera saker som ingick i beskrivningen fanns ej: diskmaskin, torktumlare, tofflor, balkong,duntäcke, dubbla handfat, frys, extra badrum. Rum med balkong fick vi efter mycket tjat näst sista dagen.
• Unnamed (2/5): - Will not recommend but everyone's has different expectation of what a Hotel or Hotel/Apt should offer.
• canadian (6/5): Dampy smell. - Its in a very nice area but hotel needs major mold cleanup. Staff excellent.
• Verified traveler (4/5): اثاث قديم وجشع فاحش - الفندق جميل من الخارج وممراته والردهة مقبولة اما الشقق اثاثها قديم جدآ. المشكلة الاستغلال طلبت سرير إضافي حسبوه علي ب200 درهم لليلة ؟؟؟؟؟ بحجة ان فيبه ندره في السرير الاضافي .تخيل شقة من غرفة نوم وصالة ومطبخ صغير وحمام ب350 والسرير ب200 مايميز الفندق موقعة فقط فقط فقط
• Ali (8/5): Great Resting Break - The hotel was clean and well kept. Wish we did not have to pay for use of Wi-Fi for our laptop or tablet. A microwave would have been ideal in the room, and a shower curtain in the bath.
• Verified traveler (10/5): HOME LIKE - I VE BEEN STAYING HERE FOR MORE THAN A FEW YEARS AND THE STAFF IS GREAT ANY AND EVERYTHING I WANT TO DO IS SO CLOSE. I HAVE NOW SENT 7 OF MY FRIENDS AND THEY LOVE IT THE RATES ARE GREAT VR WLM
• Tress (2/5): Wrong room booked - When we arrived at the hotel we were told that they didn't have our 2 bedroom apartment as booked as they were having some issues and had put other people into different hotel. 5 of us ended up in a 1 bedroom apartment with extra beds put in the living room.. If we had known this we would have cancelled and booked somewhere else. The staff did try their best to accommodate us but it was a disappointing start to our holiday. We wouldn't go there again.
• AL (4/5): Close to Metro - The room was not as good as I was expected. Initially, I have been told the Internet connection is complementary but when I check-out at 4:00 am the receptionist very dis-respectively keep asking I have to pay for the full amount of fees for Internet connection. He knew that I didn't want to miss my flight then I paid fully which didn't make me happy!
• Verified traveler (10/5): Not close to all must-see sights - It was very refreshing
• Verified traveler (2/5): Don't go there any more - There was a big different between the photos and the reality of this hotel
• T. (8/5): Dessert Rose - Its a pretty decent place to stay for the price. I cant complain. I stay there almost every other weekend now. It has all the basic necessesities for a few nights stay. Its not very fancy or expensive looking but it has everything you need.
• Mildner (6/5): hotel in the city - the hotel is okay the price and the service is okay. I am wonderdering the shuttel bus from the hotel to the airport cost 70 Dirham and the taxi the hallf price. The pic up service from the airport is not possible.
• Patrick (6/5): Correct pour le prix et pour 2-3 nuits max - Points positifs: L'hôtel est bien placé à 300m du métro Al Fahidi. Possibilité d'aller boire ou manger dans le bar/pub du Regal Plaza Hotel juste à côté du métro.Le studio est correct, lits confortables, cuisine équipée (mais pas de micro-ondes). Le prix est correct pour cet hôtel. ////// Points négatifs: Piscine out of order (on ne peut même pas accéder au toit de l'hôtel), hammam out of order aussi ! Le sauna était fonctionnel lui. Salle de bain assez petite (baignoire et rideau) ////// Conclusion: correct pour le tarif, correct pour 2-3 nuits pas plus, je pense que l'on peut trouver mieux pour le même prix.
• T. (8/5): D.Rose in Bur Dubai - Everything was pretty neat and clean, its in a good location. The rooms and everything had everything I needed but its not a 5 start hotel or anything so dont expect anything to be sparkling and shiny. Still it worked really well for me.
• Christopher (8/5): Excellent value quality apartments - Excellent value for money and very well located close to the metro. Our apartment was very spacious. Helpful staff. We were very pleased.
• Vinod Kashyap (4/5): Not suitable for long stay. - 1.Room was not not found clean after making it. 2.Toiletries never replaced properly (they cost very very low). 3.Customer living for more than 1/2 days should be allocated room with good view - our was restricted - through window only wall of next building was visible. 4.Furniture - chair, sofa were totally worn out, obsolete and smelly. . . they were looking like as if picked up from a skip. 5.Electric toaster was not compatible with the socket. (its plug was European type). I was promised that i will be provided an adapter - but never supplied.. . . inspite shown how to use that one - pushing knife through upper hole of the socket then push this kind of plug. 6.Condition of bath-shower was not kind of 3 or 3 1/2 star as rated.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Comfort, Location and Price - Great apartment-hotel. I had an executive studio. Location was close to metro/transportation, supermarkets, restaurants and just a short 15 minute walk to all of the sights on/around Dubai Creek. At night the surrounding area was quiet and conducive to a good sleep. Hotel staff were very helpful and courteous. Housekeeping was great - cleaned my room daily. Room was large with a nice balcony. Kitchen came fully stocked (pots, pans, silverware, plates, etc.). I felt 'at home' immediately here.
• Milo (10/5): Nice little Apartment - It was good. The location was great for dinning and traveling to different parts of Dubai. Hotel was clean and the staff was really friendly.
• Verified traveler (8/5): convinient location - good & peaceful hotel apartments
• Mike (8/5): Good for Bur Dubai - Staff as usual was very friendly and allowed a very early check-in.
• STEVEN (4/5): stay away - Staff was good but the room was dirty long hairs all over the floor i am a man i know i do not have long hair bathroom was old the walls of the room were all dirty we never go back there much better hotels for the price in the same area also the cable tv did not come in clear
• P.T. (8/5): 4 nights at the desert rose - For the price I paid it was definitely worth it. Its close to the metro, the Burjuman mall, KFC, McDonalds and walking distance to the York club. The room was clean and the internet was fast. Also there was a supermarket right around the corner. Everything you need for a short stay in Dubai is near the hotel. The staff was very courteous and helpful and even gave great suggestions
• KY (8/5): Nice Hotel for the Price - Hotel staff was very friendly. I had a clooged drain in my sink and the staff sent a plumber to fix the problem in minutes!! I was very pleased!! The hotel is in a great location!! Less than a 5 minute walk to the Metro train system that can take u almost everywhere you need to go!! i will definitely stay at this hotel again!!
• Verified traveler (4/5): desert rose apartments - could have been excellent but for poor cleaning and maintenance of appliances etc. Almost imposible to get things remedied
• Verified traveler (2/5): DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT.. - filthy, marked walls, very badly kept bathroom which is not been deep cleaned in years. i would not suggest anyone to live here... its awful ...
• Sahil (8/5): Good Hotel with Excellent LOcation - Excellent Location. Hotel good. OLD TV. No water and tea
• Verified traveler (4/5): Desert Rose hotel in Dubai - Would not recommend this hotel to anyone, for the same price you can find a lot better ones in the same region. Didnt like the rooms, service was pretty bad.
• Karo (10/5): nice stay - We booked this hotel online not knowing what to expect but we were very happy with everything.great location,good price, very nice,comefortable room with small kitchen and nice staff.We reccomend this hotel to everybody.
• Verified traveler (6/5): Dubai Visit - not a bad one. Stayed 2 nights. The hotel location is close to many mall and shopping areas.
• Manoj (8/5): Desert Rose Hotel Apts - Nice Place for a family stay....
• Verified traveler (6/5): Desert Rose Apartment Dubai: big suites - We have 3 children and it's not easy to find hotels that can fit all of us in one room, so it's not the first time we rent an apartment. We learned what to expect when we rent these apartments instead of going to a known hotel. Our suite was absolutely huge: big living room, bedrooms, 2 bathrooms...we found it reasonably clean, but the interiors and furniture were a bit worn. The location is good meaning that there are lots of shops around to buy what a family needs, but don't expect a nice sight from the balcony... In the kitchen, besides the fridge and the cooker, there is only the basic stuff, a microwave,a few dishes and pots: enough to prepare a breakfast, not much for a meal. If you look for luxury and quality service and you don't mind paying more, go to a worldwide know hotel; if you plan to spend most of your day outside and need a cheap base for the night, then this is a convenient option.
• Verified traveler (6/5): Decent Hotel for the Price - This was a decent hotel for the price paid. UAE now requires a VISA for Canadian travellers which this hotel was not able to assist (UAE government indicates that hotels can assist with the required paperwork). The wireless internet was intermittent and front desk staff were unhelpful in this regards. Don't expect any perks from your stay. Overall an average hotel.
