Hilton Dubai Jumeirah

I have stayed here on my last two trips to Dubai. The location is excellent and the staff are welcoming and friendly. It may be one if the older hotels in this area but what it lacks in glitz it makes up for in hospitality. I have stayed at other hotels which were newer and “trendier” but found them pretentious and unfriendly. For me this hotel has everything and as a single traveler I always feel welcomed and relaxed which is very important to me.

The room I chose had a different view on the site

The view

Room was clean. Staff was very polite. Facilities are well managed. The hotel was fully booked, but you don’t feel that. They provide massive towels for the pool and the beach, as many as you like. The check in time was 3 PM. We had two rooms and they get one of the rooms ready by 11 AM, which let us get some sleep after a red eye flight. We also checked out a few hours later than usual due to our flight being at midnight.

This is not directly hotel’s fault, but is worth mentioning. Taxi drivers called by the hotel doesn’t like going short route and they whine. By short route, I mean a ride you pay USD 12 for, which is ridiculous. One of them wanted us to wait on the street for a taxi with our suits on at 39 Celsius. And some of them apparently lie that their POS machine doesn’t work. So, you should confirm you can use your credit card, before you take any taxi.

Everything about the hotel

There was nothing I didn’t like

The staff at this hotel were nothing but helpful and accommodating. Lydia and Margaret really ensured our stay at this hotel was great. The housekeeping staff do such a great job at cleaning the rooms and the location of the hotel was amazing as it was right by the beach and also many good restaurants and shops.
