Hotel dekat DAMAC Smart Heights, Dubai

My stay was an enriching experience. The hotel is located in a residential area. The apartment is very spacious and has modern amenities. The staff is very professional, especially the housekeeping. I can't wait to go back

After a disappointing stay earlier this week at another 4-star hotel in Tecom, I decided to try Novotel Al Barsha for the weekend, mainly because Swiss Butter Steakhouse is inside the hotel. My friend Hannah and I checked in with a mix of curiosity and hope for a better experience. The hotel does seem busy, which contradicts what some other guests have said. To their credit, we were given our room right away at check-in. I had booked a Superior Twin Room and specifically requested a higher floor for a better view. I also accepted a smoking room, understanding the compromise, but the overwhelming smell of smoke in the hallway left me wondering: shouldn’t a 4-star hotel manage this better? Upon entrance, to our surprise, we found a joined single bed instead of twins. We called reception, hoping to move rooms, but they offered to just separate the beds. Regret hit when we saw how small the single beds were! Honestly, if you’re tall or on the bigger side, this setup will not be comfortable—especially if you’re staying with friends or family. To add, the bed’s mattress clearly needed flipping, as there was an obvious slope that made it uncomfortable to sleep on. Adding to the unfortunate, despite being on the 25th floor, there was no view to speak of—something we were really looking forward to. It felt like a missed opportunity, especially given the hotel’s location and our specific request for a high floor. The bathroom was another letdown. The tissue holder was almost broken, the materials inside looked cheap, and the toilet bowl was not properly cleaned, with visible brown markings—pretty gross for a 4-star hotel. Thankfully, the bathtub was at least clean, so that was something. On the bright side, the highlight of this hotel is definitely their spa and pool. We were given discount vouchers for Soul and Senses Spa, and my masseuse, Shatria, did a great job. The pool is a decent size and clean, while the sauna and steam room were perfect. The health club overall is the ace of this place. For breakfast, I agree with other reviews—it’s decent. The restaurant was packed in the morning, but the vibe was good. However, they don’t escort guests to tables; you just find a seat yourself, which is fine but felt a bit unpolished. One odd thing I noticed: while housekeeping did try their best to fulfill our requests—like providing coffee capsules and water—there was no creamer for the coffee and tea. Even 3-star hotels provide that, so it was a first for me (maybe it was just the standard). Despite these minimal disappointments, I still try to see the positive side of this hotel and did my best to take decent photos that you may see for reference. Overall, it seems like this hotel mainly caters to group tourists, which makes me wonder if they’re sacrificing quality for quantity. I hope they work on improving their services, including room quality, views, and attention to detail, so they can leave a better impression of Dubai for future guests.

Good and pleasant hotel with spacious rooms. Accessible and close by the metro station. Hotel management was so nice as compared to other European hotels I experienced

I would recommend to pay More attention to special requests of the guests. For example I wrote in advance about the 10th anniversary (before we came to Dubai), but the reservation supervisor just ignored my email. Or better to say, I sent 2 emails, but in both answers from him - my special request was ignored. But still, We’re super happy with the restaurant! Didn’t expect such a wonderful quality of food, wonderfull choice for breakfast, very tasty dishes a-la cart, and unbelievable friendly, helpful, guest-oriented restaurant staff!!! Super attentive assistant of manager - Ester! Such a nice personality!!! Thank you to her! And to all the wonderful waters, especially to Joseph, Anne, Solomon! I also want to metnion beautiful Natasha at the front desk, who is ready to solve each issuer with a charming smile! Thank you guys, you’ve made our stay just wonderful!

The second time I went to Dubai and the second time I stayed at Madinat Jumeirah. The experience was more amazing than the last time. This time I stayed at Summer Palace Vila, which was great. The view on the second floor was beautiful and the service staff were very friendly. You can travel within the hotel by boat or shuttle bus. There are very few people in the swimming pool and beach, so the privacy is very good. Every time I go to Dubai, I must stay in this hotel. My children love it very much.

The hotel was right smacked in the area of The Palm, loved the fact that it was connected to a mega mall as well – Nakheel Mall, making dining and shopping highly accessible. The rooms were beautiful and incredibly clean, certainly matched the St.Regis hallmark standard. Service was however, a little letdown, I've to call twice, 20mins in between, to ask for more toiletries, either they moved real slow or perhaps it's an area they can work on.

The date we booked is our 36 years marriage anniversary. I highlighted it when booking. The hotel is very kind and thoughtful of the special date. A nice cake and wonderful flowers are prepared in our room. We are very touched and happy. The weather is windy but we still have inside swimming pool to enjoy. That is clean and with warm water. My new swimming suit was left in the swimming changing room. Hotel swimming department kept it for very formally and sent to my room also with a nice bag. The swimming suit is actually a brand new and 1st time wear. The staff in GYM room is a nice guy. When I look around there was a very early morning, no others were using the GYM. He has time so introduced a lot in patient. Other services are also available and in very good consideration. Thanks very much

The hotel is in walking distance to the JBR Beach and Marina. About 15/20 minutes, the hotel provides a regular bus shuttle if you are not up fir the walk. The staff where welcoming, professional and helpful with any queries we had about the hotel, getting around. Muhammed the tour organiser helped us book two excellent tours, half day tour of Dubai catered to our wishes and the VIP trip to Burj Khalifa. The hotel is very clean, the rooms are spacious and comfortable. restaurant on site lots of choices for breakfast buffer and evening meal.Easy to get to Dubai Central. I woukd stay here again.

The hotel was clean and the staff were helpful but I don’t know what it was but I kept being bitten by someone night and waking with red bites all over my body. So that made it unpleasant stay . The location is not so good every where you want to go you have to travel 20-30 minutes drive so the cost of taxis was adding up .

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Gulf Court Hotel Business Bay, and I must say it exceeded my expectations in every way. From the moment I arrived, the staff went above and beyond to ensure my stay was comfortable and enjoyable. I was pleasantly surprised when the hotel staff (Ms. Elisabeth) offered to upgrade my room at no additional cost. This gesture truly made my stay even more special, and I greatly appreciate their generosity. I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to Elisabeth, Okta, Yasir, and Fawad from the reception team for their exceptional service and hospitality. They were always friendly, attentive, and willing to assist with any requests I had during my stay. Overall, my experience at Gulf Court Hotel Business Bay was fantastic. The hotel's amenities, cleanliness, and location were top-notch, and the staff's professionalism and friendliness made me feel right at home. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Dubai.
