you’d think the service will be impeccable as the hotel is known to be a “7-star” hotel but the service was nothing out of ordinary. If anything, we have received better service at the other 5 star hotels. we had to wait an hour for a room despite the hotel calling us the day before check in to ask our estimated arrival at the hotel. Upon booking, we had also stated that we are celebrating our first wedding anniversary expecting they will provide a simple gesture that will make our stay special (like how other hotels provide cakes or etc) but upon entering the room, there was nothing. We had to call the reception again to inform them about it. The butler service is good, but it was a bit slow (getting the hotel bill / luggage assistance took 30 minutes). The breakfast restaurant though is great. The staff, Diyor is very helpful and accommodating. The room has an amazing view, but the service? Mid. Read less

This was our second stay at the Burj. I would just like to say a special thank you to all of the breakfast staff for amazing and wonderful service . This was the best part of our stay. The service was impeccable. Also a huge thank you to Chef who created some wonderful vegan breakfast options for us. Amazing! The breakfast team were outstanding! Also I would like to thank our Butler Gucci was was very kind and arranged a birthday in room surprise for our daughter. Also thank you to Angelica. We had a couples massage which was one of the best massages I’ve had in a long time. However the spa itself was dated and unimpressive. The vegan options by the pool side were basically non existent. I don’t mind but as a hotel of this standing I would expect at least one option that wasn’t a fruit platter or a salad. The quality of room service food especially for the children was very basic . The pasta was awful no flavour at all. Also when we had booked for afternoon tea they told us it wasn’t possible to offer vegan! I find this unacceptable as a paying guest and who have paid a lot of money for a weeks stay. It was confusing because they would leave Vegan canapés and sandwiches in our room daily. The tea manager did agree to make us vegan sandwiches but no pastries and cakes. The tea overall was underwhelming. I do not feel that the staff are trained to go over and above for the guests needs. I would prefer less fancy gifts offered and more towards keeping the guests happy. Lastly we had a 2:45 am flight so were due to depart very late so requested if we may use some facilities to take a shower but were refused. We were just told the spa was closed. This is an example of not going over and above for guests. I do not think I would return again. I do love the room ( mainly the size) and the hotel location however there are better hotels. We usually stay at the Mandarin Oriental Emirates Palace which I find far superior . Read less

Excellent stay, from start to finish. We stayed with 2 small kids and were supported in every aspect by all team members. Suites are so comfortable that you don’t want to leave them. Breakfast offers excellent choice for both adults and kids. Spa has best experts in their field. What can I say, 3 nights was not enough :))) and we will be back !!!!

Our favourite hotel in Dubai and the world. Burj Al Arab truly is the world’s only 7 star hotel. We stayed for a few nights in April this year and had a wonderful stay. Our butlers Gucci and Maryam were so helpful and could not do enough for us. The hotel was also very helpful over e-butler before we arrived and during our stay. The pool area is world class with amazing service and facilities. The wrap around infinity pool was stunning. If you can’t afford to stay at the hotel it is definitely still worth visiting to use the pool area. Breakfast was also fantastic each day with a large selection of food and you also can order from the al a carte menu which feels like a more premium experience in line with the hotel. Finally our hotel suite was amazing. So large compared to any other hotel room. We stayed in the 2 bedroom family suite. As a family of 5 this was a perfect room for us with so much space. Overall I would highly recommend this hotel and will definitely be returning in the near future. Read less
