Al Bandar Rotana – Dubai Creek | Book like an insider

What guests think

Al Bandar Rotana – Dubai Creek earns strong praise for friendly, attentive service, modern clean rooms with impressive creek and skyline views, and tasty breakfasts, though a few guests report a small pool, scarce loungers, and occasional service lapses.

Many appreciated thoughtful touches like early check-ins, upgrades, and surprise birthday treats. The location by Dubai Creek and near the airport is convenient for taxis and ferries, but some found it a bit far from major attractions with limited options immediately nearby. Facilities such as the rooftop pool are popular, while the Italian rooftop restaurant draws compliments; bar smoking and limited poolside cocktail choices were noted. Expect a polished, comfortable stay with excellent service.

Facilities

Rooftop pool is a highlight, but several guests found it small with too few sunbeds. The bar is convenient, though indoor smoking and limited poolside cocktail options were drawbacks.

An amazing hotel in a good location. My only complaint would be the inside smoking in the bar. But this seemed to be common all over Dubai.

Hotel ist relativ neu und für 109€ die Nacht auf jeden Fall gut. Lage ist im eher unattraktiven "alten Dubai". Man muss halt immer wohin fahren, wenn man was sehen/erleben will. Valet-Parken hat top funktioniert und war gratis. Hat eher einen Business-Flair. Pool hat bis 22:00 offen und einen tollen Blick auf die weit entfernte City, der war toll! Frühstück haben wir nicht probiert.

I have stayed here now 3 times and stayed in 30 hotel's in Dubai the only down side about this hotel is lack of beds at the pool if you are late or away for the day you have to Wait for a bed not ideal in the heat great hotel rooms and lovely views staff don't go out there way we stayed in 3 other hotels in this visited and Definitely noticed the difference not bad in anyway but other places always welcome you i would say the pool staff are helpful and nice but the others could do better in my opinion

My Son 3rd birthday would be really something we will remember, we had a great time staying at this hotel, the stuff are so polite and very helpful. We had a surprised birthday cake in the room. The breakfast is wide with so many varieties of food. The bar and pool was also great and good atmosphere, it a really nice to bring family.

And the night before we left we asked about a taxi. The next morning when we came down we didn’t say anything. But someone walked right up to us, took our suitcases, knew our room number and said our taxi as waiting. This hotel is hugs…and he knew who we were.

Great hotel near old Dubai town - just across the channel. There is a cheap ferry for 2 AED. Not sure if this is the standard but we got an apartment with our booking. It was big with a lot of space. 2 toilets and a lot of storage. The airport is just few km away so it is convienient when you need to fly early. Great restaurant on 18th floor with beautiful views over Dubai skyline. Happy our drinks available for good price. There is a small pool on 13 floor but we didnt use it. Looked nice. The area is a mix of old and newer Dubai but still good and much cheaper than downtown or marina.

Binoy ( restaurant manager) was very attentive and ensured we were being properly taken care during dinner. Cocktail options at the pool were a bit limited(some displayed in the fridge at the bar not included in the all inclusive package). Servers always attentive to clean our dining table. Great options to select from at the buffet, loved their croissants! Will make sure to return at Al Bandar again!

The stay and overall experience was amazing the customer service was brilliant 10/10 the room was excellent with a okay view as we where given an other room as we checked in early either way the stay was fantastic. Just as a precaution make sure to watch how much money you may spend as the locals like to charge extra and judt make sure to keep that in mind when visiting. The food was amazing with plenty different options and the gym, swimming pool and bar service was top notch and to make it even better the view was breathtaking from the italian resturant (this is included in the hotel but you may have to make a reservation before-hand).

Beautiful hotel, great facilities and the breakfast was very good. The staff were excellent and very friendly apart from Ahmed who works on reception and was grumpy and never smiled. Not a good start to the holiday. We were a family of four and the room was small. My wife, my 15 year old son and 10 year old son had to share a bed. I slept in a bed that was brought in. The room should not be advertised for a family of four.

The guy that sells activities in the lobby and the other guy that sells at the mnini store in the hotel were harrassing me. One was asking me to buy from him everytime and the other didnt like the fact that i booked activities to do via expedia. I saved alot on expedia because i have status with them. I use the other elevator and avoided them whenever i saw them. I didnt felt comfortable after they started pressuring me into giving them sales.
