The hotel itself is beautiful but I found the check in and out process very long and frustrating. I had to provide photo ID and pay £100 to check in. The room was nice but very small for £284. Took ages to get served in the bar aswell. The door in the bathroom made a very loud noise and I had to list every item i consumed from the room when I left.

The room was well appointed and clean. My room however was across the road in another building which meant I had to cross in the pouring rain to get to my room or back to the main hotel building to use any amenities or reception. Additionally, there was a construction site directly outside my window which was both noisy and detracted from privacy.

The reception staff was not helpful at all and she made us wait 2 hours for the room until 3pm and then we only got the rooms 3:35 We were three adults each in a room and she asked me twice why did you book three seperate rooms and she was shocked. Something wired and unprofessional. She also delayed us intentionally and i have complained

Amazing view, terrace was well-kept and clean. The lighting modes (especially the mood lighting setting) was superb. The bathroom was clean and had a luxurious and modern look to it. The automated curtains and complimentary glass bottles of water were a fantastic touch to the experience. The rooftop bar and other lounges were posh and had a good vibe. The location was near to the train station and the downtown area, not too far from the various tourist attractions.

The hotel room and staff were excellent — everyone was friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, breakfast for my husband was disappointing. He ordered scrambled eggs on sourdough toast, but it first arrived on bread that hadn’t been toasted. The waitress was lovely and took it back, but when it returned the toast was burned and there was no butter. It felt like the chef was annoyed at the feedback, which isn’t what you expect, especially with breakfast costing £30.

On checking into the property for a two night stay our booking hadnt been combined despite emailing earlier in the week and also advising that the two bookings should be beside each other as we were celebrating a special birthday and attending the rugby the following day. we also requested to be in the main building but instead we were being put over to the smaller annex apartment suites. However we did eventually come to some resolution but this was after a ninety minute wait in reception and having to put our point across very heavily. We felt that due to the hotel being very busy for the rugby our booking had been overlooked and downgraded and they also advised that as we were booking via expedia this would be the case. The breakfast was very poor the following morning, and the staff not very attentive at all, we had to wait around twenty minutes each time we asked for a coffee, the water was hot instead of cold for our chilled drinks and the staff couldnt have cared less, i also asked for some ketchup at the time of receiving part of my breakfast and received it fifteen minutes later once finished. At this point in time we dont feel we would stay there again and we have stayed in the W in Dubai three times and never had this experience.
