Snabb Överblick: A budget hotel in a record-breaking skyscraper's body, where you'll spend half your vacation waiting for an elevator.
Recenserat av @skiplux18: I booked this stay to celebrate how far I've come. Standing in the tallest hotel in the world, looking down at the Dubai lights, I couldn't help but tear up thinking about my journey. The suite was massive and the view was the perfect backdrop for my gratitude.

Reality check
You will likely walk down 10+ flights of stairs at least once because you gave up waiting for the lift.
- You are a budget-conscious traveler who wants a 5-star view
- You need to be right on Sheikh Zayed Road for business
- You appreciate a family-friendly, alcohol-free environment
Renlighet & Underhåll
6.5
- Housekeeping: Hit or miss. Daily service happens, but often rushed. Dust bunnies in corners are common.
- Bathroom hygiene: Grout often shows signs of age/mildew. Water pressure can be weak on high floors.
- Maintenance: The building is aging fast. Expect scuffed paint, loose handles, and the occasional AC rattle.
- Linens & towels: Standard hotel white, but often feel over-washed and scratchy. Check for stains.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells of heavy oud perfume; hallways can smell of cooking from other guests.

FAQ & Dolda tips
Allt du verkligen vill veta innan du bokar.
Is there really no alcohol?
Zero. None in the restaurants, none at the pool. It is a dry hotel.
How bad are the elevators really?
Catastrophic. During peak times (8-10am, 6-8pm), you will wait 30+ minutes. People fight to get in.
Is the pool on the roof?
No. It is on the 12th floor of the annex building. The rooftop (75th floor) is for the viewing deck and restaurant only.
Can I cook in the kitchenette?
Technically yes, but there are usually no pots, pans, or silverware provided. It's basically a fridge and a sink.
Is it close to the metro?
Yes, Financial Centre Metro Station is literally a 2-minute walk. Super convenient.
Does it have a gym?
Yes, but they are separate for men and women, located on the 12th floor.
Insider-tips
- ✨
Skip the hotel breakfast (long queues, average food) and grab a pastry at Le Veyron Café on the ground floor.
- ✨
If the elevator queue is insane on the ground floor, take the service elevator if staff allow it (smile nicely).
- ✨
Visit the rooftop 'Highest View' restaurant just for a mocktail at sunset—it's cheaper than the Burj Khalifa observation deck ticket.
5 saker du bör veta innan du åker
💡The 'Gold' obsession: Everything is gold-tinted, from the revolving doors to the windows, which makes your photos look permanently filtered.
💡The Pool Bridge: You have to walk across a skybridge to a parking garage to swim.
💡The Window Grime: Because the building is so tall and complex, the exterior windows are often covered in desert dust, ruining that perfect view.
💡The 'Studio' Vibe: Rooms feel more like empty apartments than hotel rooms—lots of dead space.
💡The Separate Gyms: Men and women have completely different workout areas, which can be a surprise for couples.
