“Extremely good value”

Al Bustan Rotana Hotel

1/1 found this review helpful

This is an excellent option for your Dubai stopover or business trip. The hotel is located very close to the airport - you could see the tarmac and terminal from our room - but there was no aircraft noise.
We booked a Club Rotana room which gave us access to the lounge, internet, overseas and local mags and newspapers, an excellent supper including complimetary alcohol - woo hoo.
The staff were all very friendly, and the concierge gave me a great tip - if going to Deira City Centre Shopping Mall, catch the free bus back to the hotel, as the taxi queue is ridiculous (several hundred people!!). Great tip as it got me back to my hotel in time for late checkout and flight.
I cannot comment on the restaurants as we used the lounge for both breakfast and dinner. Nor can I comment on the recreational facilities - too busy being out and about.
The room was very large with big windows and was well equipped. The bathroom was a little daggy, but just a bit too much gold for my taste??

The hotel offered great location for the airport and Deira - as traffic is such a nightmare - and is excellent value for money. I only have good things to say about our stay.

“Great service and lovely staff”

Al Bustan Rotana Hotel

4/4 found this review helpful

The Al Bustan Rotana Hotel was a gorgeous, clean hotel with an incredible breakfast buffet on offer every day. The staff were extremely helpful and assisted in the booking of trips.

The rooms were clean and well maintained throughout our stay. Service by the pool was second to none with cold towels and face spritzers on offer for free.

My sister and I thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would def stay again.

“Great Hotel”

Al Bustan Rotana Hotel

Dec 20, 2007
2/2 found this review helpful

This is a great hotel to stay in. It has been recently refurbished and so everything is brand new and very modern. its simply an amazing stay and also its less than 5 min,. away from the airport. and its right in the middle of dubai!
My only compaint is that like all other Rotana hotels the internet is Extremely expensive and therefore makes it really hard to even check your email.

“Excellent Location and Service”

Al Bustan Rotana Hotel

3/3 found this review helpful

Having read numerous reviews I was very worried about my visit to this hotel, thankfully I had nothing to be concerned about.

The location near to the airport is great. The hotel runs a shuttle bus several times a dy to the local shopping mall which has loads of shops and eating places. There is also a shuttle to a sister hotel with a beach club about 30 - 45 mins drive away.

The best places we found to eat were at the Wafi Centre which has a specific bit called the pyramids that has several restaurants in it. If you do the big bus tour then you can get a discount card which gives you approx 20% off your food bill.
The taxi from the hotel to wafi is only about £3 so definitely worth going.

Staff at the hotel were very friendly and even had a birthday cake delivered to our room for my husbands birthday.

Overall I would recommend this hotel and Dubai.

“Outstanding Service and Food!”

Al Bustan Rotana Hotel

Dec 18, 2007
4/4 found this review helpful

I do not tolerate mediocre hotels.
Because I am in a service profession, when I get away, I expect to be well cared for. The Al Bustan Rotana staff exceeded my expectations. We were picked up in their private Audi at the airport and greeted by name upon arrival at the hotel. We were then taken past the registration desk directly to the concierge floor, where we were given food and drink and the registration process was completed. The room was spacious and elegantly decorated.
There was a fruit and date tray on a side table. The bath had high end L'Occidental toiletries that were replenished daily. Housekeeping checked on the room twice daily, in the morning and again for turn down service. I was greeted by name every day. Breakfast could be eaten on the floor or one could go to the Blue Elephant restaurant buffet. I can't recommend the Blue Elephant buffet more highly! It had the best assortment of foods I have ever seen. The restaurant has a koi pond as its focal point and it was very relaxing watching the fish. High afternoon tea began around 3pm, and the cocktail hour with very heavy hors d'oeuvres around 5. We were so full we never had to go out to dinner so it was well worth being on the concierge floor. This hotel is located 5 minutes from the airport and with so much construction going on in Dubai, one can't simply go exploring because of the traffic and lack of sidewalks but the hotel also had a free shuttle to a City Centre mall, from which one could take the Big Bus Tour. I could find no fault at all with the hotel, services, staff, or food and recommend it unconditionally!
