The hype
Guests love the pool and the staff (shoutout to Amora and Cleo), but are consistently disappointed by the worn-out carpets and damp smells in older rooms.

İnsanlar Neden Seviyorlar
- Unbeatable location directly opposite Dubai Mall
- Massive resort-style temperature-controlled pool
- Spacious apartments that are perfect for large families
Hızlı Özet: A former Rotana property that feels like a 5-star resort in the lobby but can feel like a tired 3-star motel in the unrenovated hallways.
@Moejana tarafından değerlendirildi: I ordered the full breakfast spread to my room and it was absolute perfection. Eating croissants in a plush robe while watching the Dubai traffic from high up was such a vibe. It felt like a total escape from the heat and noise outside.

Reality check
The '5-star' rating feels generous for the standard rooms, which many reviewers describe as 'tired' and 'needing an update' compared to the glitzy lobby.
- You are a family needing a 2-3 bedroom apartment near the mall
- You prioritize a huge pool over modern room decor
- You want to be within walking distance of the Burj Khalifa for under $200
Temizlik & Bakım
7
- Housekeeping: Generally responsive, but reviews frequently mention missed spots and slow service during peak times.
- Bathroom hygiene: Hit or miss. Renovated bathrooms are sparkling; older ones suffer from grout discoloration and weak drainage.
- Maintenance: Aging infrastructure is visible. Complaints include peeling paint, broken AC controllers, and worn furniture in standard rooms.
- Linens & towels: Towels are generally clean but can feel scratchy/worn in the standard rooms.
- Odors & scents: A persistent 'damp' or 'musty' smell plagues the unrenovated corridors and rooms.

SSS & Gizli İpuçları
Rezervasyon yapmadan önce bilmeniz gereken her şey.
Is the pool open during renovations?
Yes, the pool remains open and is a highlight, though some surrounding areas or the pool bar might undergo periodic 'enhancements'.
Can I walk to the Burj Khalifa?
Yes, it's a 10-15 minute walk. You are directly across the street, but you have to navigate the large intersections.
Are the apartments in the same building as the hotel?
No. 'Swissotel Living' apartments are often in adjacent buildings within the Al Murooj complex. You may need a golf cart to get to the main lobby/pool.
Is breakfast included?
Not usually in the base rate. It costs approx AED 120 for adults if purchased separately, though packages often include it.
Is the hotel pet-friendly?
No, pets are not allowed.
Does the hotel serve alcohol?
Yes, there are licensed bars including the popular Double Decker Pub.
İçeri Sakıları
- ✨
The 'Double Decker' pub is a local institution for expats—great for a rowdy Friday brunch but noisy if your room is near it.
- ✨
Use the 'Roda Al Murooj' entrance for apartments if you are booked there; it saves walking through the main hotel lobby.
- ✨
The Executive Lounge on the 14th floor gets rave reviews for its food and happy hour—worth the upgrade cost.
Gitmeden önce bilmeniz gereken 5 şey
💡The 'City View' is often just a view of a highway and a construction crane.
💡The walk to the metro is a sweaty 15 minutes; it's not as 'connected' as the mall hotels.
💡You might have to take a golf cart to get from your apartment to the breakfast buffet.
💡The 'damp smell' in the corridors of the older wings is a known, persistent issue.
💡The TV channels in some rooms are limited and the sets are small (40-inch) for a 5-star hotel.
