"If you’re looking for a vibrant, budget-friendly stay that captures the spirit of Mumbai in the heart of Dubai, Bombay Backpacker DXB is a solid choice. However the pinned location is wrong. Don’t rely solely on the GPS; contact the hostel for the exact building name or a live location link before you head over so you don't get lost with your luggage. Great stay, but tricky to find!"

Sofitel Dubai The Palm Resort & Spa

Sofitel Dubai The Palm Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent
"We loved our stay at the Sofitel. We asked a question about dining and the wonderful assistant manager Carla Curti could not have been more helpful. She went out of her way to make our stay brilliant. All of the staff in this hotel were exceptional. If you can, book a club room as the drinks and snacks make for incredible value. We are regular visitors to Dubai but would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel and look forward to staying here again in the future."
