Ramada Downtown Dubai

Great option for those who want to stay in the vicinity of Burj Khalifa and the Dubai Mall. The rooms are spacious and confortable. Great view on the fountains and Burj Khalifa. The breakfast is generous and certainly an excellent value for the money.

The hotel is in the perfect spot, a 15 minute walk to the Mall past the Burj, and the hotel run free shuttle buses should you not want to walk to the mall and Kite beach. We paid extra for a room overlooking the Burj and fountain displays and it was so worth it, it was like a huge picture window and was wonderful, the only issue we had at the hotel was with the sleeping arrangements, we booked the room at great cost overlooking the Burj for 2 adults and 1 child (15 yrs) however when we arrived there was only 1 bed, after much discussion with reception it turns out we should have ordered an extra bed for our daughter at an additional cost of £150 per night? But surely if you book a room for 2 adults and a child and are given a price then that is the cost and beds should be provided for all occupants booked in…? Did they expect our 15yr old to bunk in with us?? Our daughter eventually decided that she would be happy crashing on the sofa in the room so we just requested a blanket, but I still find it odd that they do not provide enough beds for the occupancy of the room….. The staff are all lovely, Akbar is brilliant, he stands over you whilst you write a review which is why he is in all the reviews…. But he’s so lovely and provides you with coffee and chocolate for the children 😊. A great stay, well worth it….

Location is great. At the centre of town. Staff are friendly.

Everything was absolutely amazing. The staff more than friendly and always there to help 😃 The view was to fountain ⛲️ 😍 They offer complimentary transfer to beach and to dubai mall few times a day. Room was huge 😍 👌 We highly recommend this hotel

We were very satisfied with the spacious room, comfortable bed, fast and stable internet connection, good hotel location and amenities. We appreciated all the staff´s help, they were very kind, always interested, there wasn´t anything they couldn´t do for us. The room was perfectly equipped, (tissues, notepads, scale, a dressing table with a mirror, ironing board with the iron.) Everything was perfectly functional. Only a sponge and a towel were missing even though the room has a kitchenete. The free shuttle service to the mall/metro/beach (2-4 times a day) was another positive point of our stay. The drivers were real gentlemen. We were pleasantly surprised by the wide range of food and drinks on the buffet. Special thanks to the chef, Mr Japvir, who was very helpful and provide us with the information about the alergens every night. The food was really excellent (both at breakfast and dinner time) although we had a slight problem with its very spicy taste. They serve kinds of Indian, Arabic food, baklava based, vegetarian food, various breads, pastry, eggs, omelettes, pancakes, cereals, desserts. You could try sambousek, spinach fatayer, falafel, veg pagoda, meat rolls, wreaps, potato croquettes/fries, sweet cakes, fruit and vegetables, salads. Fresh juice, jallab, roohafza, quamar al din. The real plus of staying in Dubai is the zero crime rate. All places are safe, guarded by security or police. You can feel free and safe here. Before our trip we were a little worried about limited services in UAE due to Ramadan but everything was fine, there were no restrictions for tourists. The only limitation was the fountain show, which only started after dark, neither the Burj Khalifa nor the fountain was lit during the day. Also the other attractions might have some limited opening hours etc. But you don´t have to care about eating in public, also the shopping centers as well as souk are open.
