What guests think

Radisson Blu Hotel, Dubai Waterfront draws consistent praise for its friendly, attentive staff, convenient Business Bay location near Downtown, and generous breakfast, though many guests flag construction noise, nightclub disturbances, and some dated or maintenance-affected rooms.

Rooms are often spacious and comfortable, with some nice canal or city views, yet some highlight hot water or AC problems, worn furnishings, and Wi-Fi that can be slow. On-site facilities include spa, gym, pool and several dining options; guests like the range, but the pool feels small and gym upkeep can be uneven. Shuttle access and taxis simplify getting around, though Burj Khalifa views are now partly obstructed by new buildings. Overall, this suits travellers who prioritize attentive service over absolute quiet or brand-new rooms.

The Radisson Blu Water Front was great value for the money The only negative thing about the hotel was that there is a night club right next door and come closing time between 3am & 4am you have the taxis out front blowing there horns 7 days a week and there goes your peaceful night sleep and the sad things is the hotel can not do a thing about it because the night club has nothing to do with the hotel

The hotel was nice and rooms were provided with complimentary water, towels and toiletries. Staff were very nice, friendly and helpful and attended to you when required. I had a standard room with views of construction work which wasn’t great, I was on the 19th floor. I ordered room service twice which arrived in the specified time, food was ok but expensive. Breakfast was good, a wide variety of food and juices. The only thing about this hotel that annoyed me was the pool was tiny compared to what is advertised when booking - this is very deceiving. There is a shuttle bus that goes to the Dubai mall and kite beach but only twice a day, it would be good to have more times as the first bus is 10am which means you’re rushing breakfast to get that, I only used the service once and used taxis instead. I used the bar on P3 terrace which was nice, overlooking the waterfront, it was quiet as not so busy, great to sit and relax with a nice cocktail - you can see the top of the burj kalifah only as other buildings block views. On my last night I noticed a water leak from the ceiling outside of my room which was concerning and the maintenance team tried to sort it. I stayed for 5 nights and overall enjoyed my stay at the hotel.

Definitely not a five star hotel. Very tired and dated. Initially room was dirty, stained carpets and broken shelf and furniture. Also very noisy as balcony doors didn’t seal. Staff were generally good but had to complain to management about the way I was treated by one member of staff after complaining about the room. After this got a new room which was a superior one and better. However the place needs a serious upgrade. Beds were too small. Breakfast room ok but very busy. Lots of times some Of the food stations were empty. Concierge were very friendly and helpful. On the first day we arrived one of the lifts broke and it wasn’t fixed again during our 8 day visit. This was a problem due to the number of people in the hotel. Overall disappointing stay considering this is a Radisson.

Construction dust, Noisy, dingy carpets, needs a full interior redo! Stayed for 5 nights thinking it looked good in pictures and it would be conveniently close to DT Dubai but boy, was I mistaken!! We got a family room. It was facing an enormous construction site (which will likely take another 2 years to complete by the looks of it). The dust from the site is all pervasive, there’s no escaping it. It’s in your room, in your closets and bathroom, on the patio, in the restaurant dining patio, you name it. My allergies flared up so much during the stay that I preferred spending more time outside than in my room. They didn’t bother to change the room despite asking on the first day and day-3 of our stay. Restaurants are decent but quite expensive ($15 for a Heineken beer on tap, for example). Breakfast buffet was good. Wait staff was a mixed bag. One waiter took our vegetable omelette order and when we asked him to make it without green peppers, he refused (“that’s how we make it!”) .. I mean, how hard is it to just not put one ingredient?! The property also needs a facelift. Common areas are nice but rooms and corridor carpeting is old and dingy, should have been replaced a couple of years ago. You notice deferred maintenance in many places. 2-star is the closest I can give to this property for the price I paid and comparing my experience to how they advertised it.

The bar and club are right outside the windows. There's no soundproofing from the street, interior doors (!) between adjacent rooms, or from the hallway. Only 2 square meters of rooms are cleaned. The windows are dirty. Construction is everywhere. There's no view of the Burj Khalifa, don't believe the photos. Issue with documents upon check-out; they do whatever they want. The renovation is falling apart, the furniture is falling apart, the bathroom is moldy and has black caulking. If you're staying "for free," it's fine, but if you're paying out of pocket, the price should be at least five times lower. One star only for the pool and the pool staff, as well as the breakfast. Those are the only positive aspects.

Mas é confortável, bem localizado, tarifa boa comparado a outros 5*. Eu o classificaria como um 4* executivo. Nos finais de semana tem um bar um pouco barulhento mas não me atrapalhou em nada. As dicas dos concierges são maravilhosas!!! De modo geral, as pessoas são bastante solicitas

Great hotel. Was upgraded to a suite as part of being VIP both on Raddison and platinum on Expedia. Suite was beautiful and specious. Breakfast was by far the nicest breakfast we had in a while. Staff is polite and helpful. Free and convenient parking. Pool was small and a ton of constructions outside. Burj view no longer available due to a high rise building newly built in front of the hotel. Limited food options around the hotel. Overall, Definitely stay here again despite the minor setbacks.

Hotel was surrounded on all sides with building works and cranes which obstructed our views and not pretty to look at with workers working through the night which was noisy. Also there was a nightclub beneath the hotel which had 100 plus taxis queing and beeping outside the hotel from 3am to 5am. I sleep very well normally but this noise was too much.

Alt fungerede godt. På nær en ting. Vi oplevede desværre en ubehagelig situation under vores ophold. Vi skulle tage en taxa fra hotellet til stranden, og en af hotellets ansatte anbefalede, at vi brugte en civil taxa, som hotellet havde en aftale med. Denne taxa kostede 100 dirham, hvilket er væsentligt mere end en almindelig taxa, som normalt ville koste omkring 55–60 dirham. Vi følte os pressede til at følge personalets anbefaling, og det var ubehageligt at skulle sige nej. Vi håber, at hotellet fremadrettet vil informere gæsterne klart om priser og alternativer, så man som gæst frit kan vælge den løsning, der passer bedst.

I love staying at Radisson Blu’s. Everything about this one was great, except for one thing, and that’s the buffet breakfast. Breakfast is the reason I love their hotels so much, but this one paled in comparison to the others I’ve stayed at. Maybe that’s a cultural difference between the east and west, but I didn’t like it at all. The eggs were like water, the juices tasted awful, pastries were hard, and couldn’t get unflavoured water there. Enough about breakfast. The rest of my stay was fantastic. The staff all speak English well and were very nice. They even brought me a nice food platter to my room on my last night, for free! The location is nice, also. About a 20 minute walk to the Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall, or a couple minutes drive. I see other people here complaining about the construction noise, but I didn’t hear any when in my room. But then again I was barely in my room during work hours. TLDR: If you’re not a breakfast person, this is the hotel for you.
