Residence Inn by Marriott Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai

Excellent location, 1minute walk to financial center metro station. Staff are friendly particularly the porters are very helpful. The free buffet breakfast is good. Excellent room size with open kitchen , big fridge. Surprisingly there is a washer/dryer. Very convenient.

Everything and everyone! The place was so lovely and every staff member from valet guys to cleaners everyone was sooooooo nice, we stayed during my 30th birthday and everyone seemed to know it was my birthday and when I walked out of my room I was greeted with “happy birthday” up until I went into the car. It was so wholesome and honestly I will definitely come back to this hotel.

Residence inn by Mariott, is a hotel in really nice location if you want to combine different types of trafic (metro station is 50m away). The room is super large and has everything you might need (from iron, hairdryer and even washing maschine). Our room was located in 25th floor with nice view, sometimes in rush hours lifts can be waited few moments but nothing critical! The staff is super nice and accomodates every need you might have concerning your stay. There is a lot of fresh options for breakfast, we did not use the pool and the gym but as seen everything was perfect. Definetelly good value for money and will be coming back

Everything! My flight landed early in the morning, and I took my luggage to the hotel to be stored there before I could check in. They immediately started working on trying to get a room available for me before check-in time and in the meantime let me use the shower facilities in the gym, which included a clean towel and bottle of water. I got a better room with a lounge area. The kitchen was great - the fridge/freezer combi was very useful as I could freeze bottles of water for use on daily excursions. Very comfortable bed and convenient light switches, which allow you to switch on/off certain lights from the comfort of your bed. There is even a pull-out washing line in the shower. Breakfast was great - if you go to the restaurant on the higher floor, you get great views while enjoying the fantastic spread (including the creamiest hummus I ever had!). Stunning roof-top setting with a view of the Burj Khalifa. Even though the room was close to the metro rail, the passing trains didn't bother me as the room was relatively sound-proof and one could hardly hear it. Which brings me to the location. Easy-walking distance to the metro station, which was extremely convenient. I didn't bother to get a taxi to and from the airport, I used the metro. The staff were always super friendly and helpful and even helped by exchanging some of my larger notes for smaller denominations that I needed for one of my outings. After I checked out, I stored my luggage there again as I had a very late flight out. I went on a day trip and returned late that evening, and yet again I was allowed to take a shower in the gym facilities after which I relaxed on a deckchair next to the pool on the rooftop before leaving for the airport. I will definitely stay here again and highly recommend it for a hotel/self-catering combo in Dubai!

1. One cannot beat the location. Really close to the metro and to tourist spots. 2. The room is really spacious! Can really move well in the room - considering that I have kids and with stroller. 3. Kitchenette is really a good addition - specially if you are traveling with infants/toddlers. 4. Staff are accommodating and hospitable.
