The best feature of the Ritz DIFC is the staff. We had a lovely 3 day stay and the staff really made it extra special for us. I am 7 months pregnant with our second and we have a 2.5 year old too. They could not have been more accommodating towards him. They do not have a kids room but it didn't seem to matter as he was free to to roam about the hotel and everyone was incredibly friendly. The room itself was lovely - possibly a little bit crowed with the three of us as there was quite a lot of...

Hotel Indigo Dubai Downtown by IHG

Downtown Dubai

10/10 Excellent

Everything about the hotel is great. The only thing I would say is be aware of the location. It's a 20 minute walk to the Dubai Mall which is fine if you are in good health and mobile. And if you want to use the metro system it's probably 45-60 minute walk to that. Dubai is very spread out so if you want to see The Palms, The Marina it's a 45-60 minute taxi ride. The free bus service offered by the hotel is great but only runs twice a day. Other than that the hotel is top notch.

This hotel had a very nice vibe and lovey atmosphere. The staff were very good and friendly and allowed me to check in early too. The pool area is very nice to chill. Many good restaurants and good shopping mall a few mins walk away. Also the metro is very close a 2 min walk away too. Use exit 4 at the metro for the hotel. They also have a airport shuttle, which unfortunately didn’t pick me up despite them telling they would at 15 past every hour. I wasted 45 mins waiting for it then had to...

I loved the cleanliness and attention to details in the hotel and rooms. The breakfast team was amazing and always catered to my Vegan diet but unfortunately, out of breakfast I couldn’t enjoy the other restaurants in the hotel because of the lack of Vegan options. The hotel itself and its facilities are beyond incredible in my opinion, just have more dietary options available for those of us who are Vegan!
