Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests consistently praise the Raffles Dubai for its spacious and clean rooms, with some highlighting the Landmark Suite Terrace and its access to the Club Lounge. Breakfast at Azur restaurant is frequently mentioned as extraordinary, offering both buffet and table service with extensive choices, including Nespresso coffee machines in rooms. The hotel's location is convenient, with Wafi Mall next door and the metro just a 5-minute walk away; although some guests have noted that the location is a bit far from the city center, requiring at least 20 minutes for rides. The pool area is often described as relaxing, though a few guests have mentioned traffic noise from the nearby highway.

spacious suite club lounge extensive breakfast traffic noise fumes smell highway proximity

My room, a Landmark Suite Terrace, was spacious. It included access to the Club Lounge, a bonus. The breakfast had many choices and options to order.

The highway proximity created loud traffic noise by the pool. I found it hard to relax while sunbathing. The fumes smell was also noticeable, not pleasant.
