What guests think

Across the reviews for Radisson Blu Hotel, Dubai Barsha Heights, guests consistently praise the friendly, helpful staff and overall value, while noting spacious, comfortable rooms alongside signs of age and occasional maintenance issues such as dated furnishings or faulty fixtures.

Facilities like the spa and bars are appreciated, and hotel shuttles to malls and the beach help with getting around, though some found pickup points and signage confusing. The location suits Barsha Heights and nearby business hubs, with the metro within walking reach, but it is not downtown and good restaurants nearby can be limited. Breakfast and on-site dining earn positive feedback for variety and taste, although peak times can feel crowded. Overall, expect a comfortable, good-value stay with minor age-related trade-offs.

Not as good as another Rotana I’ve stayed at, but clean and comfortable. Expedia list this hotel as having an airport shuttle available on request, but it doesn’t. There is a shuttle to the beach and local shopping malls, but this can be difficult to use as drop off and collection points not signed and no location on shuttle schedule..

I enjoyed the Terrace Bar at the Media Rotana. The location was good, and convenient, and the food and beverage packages were good value for money. The reception check in was slow and the breakfast area was too small for the number of people. Breakfast was overcrowded and, in addition, the staff were run off their feet try to attend to everyone's demands.

I really appreciated the whole team from the drop off at the parking lot, checking in at the reception and all the way to the room services. In particular i want to appreciate Dishan the house keeping department, he really made sure the room is exemplary clean, we are comfortable and he was polite and kind enough to explain to us a few stuff within the hotel ,we enquired about. However i disliked the services at the sauna area the lady at the reception never explained nothing she was just on a cell phone yet an orientation there is paramount to avoid accidents or emergencies.it took the intervention of one of guys in red to explain what to do and how to go about it. all and above i feel home away from home.was here for a week but extended an extra 7 days.i was never tempted to check for other hotels around us for a change. I am a happy client did the first visit was impressed and now this my third stay here. Thank you soo much

I have stayed several times. The staff are really friendly and helpful. Breakfast service is good and they are efficient with service. I wasn’t feeling well for a few days and the hotel went out of there way to send breakfast to my room Normal taxis are generally available easily but the hotel have their own which a lady tries to make you take which are more expensive so it’s a little embarrassing to refuse. I would recommend this hotel most definitely as it gives you all you need. Spacious clean rooms, a good breakfast at a very reasonable price.

Very poor operations, humiliating to bring executive guests to the property. Said they’d get their quote lounge available. Then just before my guests arrived couldn’t keep up their end of the offer. Let me get humiliated in front of my CEO guests as they could put some minor food and beverage charges to my room. 🙄
