Palace Downtown

Staff, clean,service

Expected a lot more. What annoyed me most was the condition of some of the things. The ironing board for example almost ruined some of my clothes. It was my birthday one day, and I wanted to iron a shirt for dinner. I asked for a new ironing board - but it never came.

Great location & great staff. We checked in was offered an upgrade for $500 Cad & said why not. We go for afternoon sleep to get climatized. Fountain music is load but location this can be tolerated. We get up bedroom sliding doors are stuck 5 minutes eventually we get it opeln. The Burj Khalifa light show and fountain show to 11pm allows you 4 twelve minute windows an hour. Still location trumps this. Next wedding outside our windiw front desk no idea how long offers to move us. Great everyone wants to move hotel rooms at 1030pm on your second night. On checkout I say quite disappointed inn upgraded room I had to change rooms on. Hotel is old patio doors do not close properly si no noise cancelled at all. Very poor wn you see what the originalncharge was. On checjout desk pwrson said he would report to manager & hecwill be in touch. Nothing. Dubai seems to want your money and say goodbye. Very disappointed.

Everything perfect

This is a beautiful hotel very well located, just across the lake and within walking distance from the Burj Khalifa and the Dubai mall. We appreciated being able to see the water show in the lake every half hour right from our own private balcony. Check-in and check-out were easy and fast. We were given a complimentary shuttle to the airport, which was greatly appreciated. The only issue we had was the temperature in the room. It was noticeably cold, and the climate control system only cools the room down, it doesn't warm it up. Upon waking up in the morning, I called reception about the temperature, and they kindly sent a plug in radiator to the room, which warmed it up. I wish that I had asked for the radiator to be delivered immediately after checking in. Overall, this is a wonderful hotel in a great location and I recommend it to visitors in Dubai.
