Top DIFC Hotel Reviews

Sofitel Dubai The Palm Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Top class"

Millennium Place Marina

8/10 Good

"Checked in very early and the lovely man on the desk upgraded my room for free which was so nice of him and very welcoming! Hotel is a great location and is walkable to Dubai marina and to all my Pilates classes in the area! Felt very safe as a female solo traveller! Only thing that I was confused about was upon checkout I was sitting in the communal seating area and a staff member came up and asked why I was eating at the table and that I should be eating in my room not down here. He was slightly abrupt with his tone almost like I shouldn’t be there and considering many other guests were also eating from various places in the seating area it left me feeling very confused and quite uncomfortable."

Atlantis The Royal

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely incredible experience at Atlantis The Royal! The hotel is stunning, luxurious, and truly on another level. The rooms are beautiful, the facilities are world-class, and the attention to detail throughout the property is impressive. The pools, restaurants, and overall atmosphere made our stay unforgettable. What really stood out was the service—everyone was professional, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. Atlantis The Royal definitely lives up to the hype. One of the best hotels we’ve ever stayed at, and we would absolutely come back!"
