Grosvenor House Dubai is Perfect Hotel with Some Downsides



My parents came to visit me to Dubai so I stayed with them here in this hotel for 3 wonderful days. I had read about this hotel and also heard that it is a nice property so the expectations were very high.

The location for this hotel is awesome since it is in Dubai Marina with walking distance to many places. Also the hotel itself got good restaurants and venues, which of some of them are very famous. When I got to the hotel, the concierge staff did their job very well by helping me with my bags and opening the door. In some of the 5 star hotels in Dubai I have not got that service, a service that is mandatory for a 5 star property!

I went to see my parents at the pool. This was one of the downsides of the hotel. Well, it was almost expected since most of the hotels in the Marina are so close to other buildings so that the sun will not shine at the pool at some point of the day. Also, the pool itself is very small. For persons who like to swim, this is not maybe the most ideal one for that purpose.

The room was very nice. We had a premium suite with my parents. The bed that was provided for me was very comofrtable and I loved the blanket! The room was big enough for 3 adults. However, some more downparts were that there was no door for the toilet in the bathroom, which is not that nice, concidering that one might want to do their needs while the other one wants to put on make-up etc.

One other thing was that there were not enough outlets. Imagine when everyone's got laptops, mobile phones and other gadgets, where are they going to charge them? It was especially annoying when you did not even have an outlet next to the bed and normally people want to charge their phones in the night time. However, this is unfortunately a normal phenomenon in many hotels. Also it took one hour to get an adapter. But otherwise the service was extraordinary.

The breakfast in the lounge on the 5th floor was really good and the ambience of the lounge was nice. However, they have not seen muesli in their life. The youghurt with the muesli was not really good. 

All in all, a very nice hotel that I would recommend for anyone who comes and visit Dubai. One day when I get fed up in my apartment and want to spoil myself, I will definitely stay here again.

Room Tip: 8069. It was a nice room in the corner. Not too much noise.
