September 16, 2018 : Hotel is a 3 minute walking distance to the Deira City Centre Mall. This is a hotel that can do better than it is at the moment. Especially in terms of the housekeeping department. The cleaners should double up their efforts. It has a rooftop pool and bar though most of the time the bar looks deserted. Mainly Indian clientele. Rooms are charged per person per night rather than per room per night. Guests are not allowed in the rooms. Very friendly staff. Within the hotel is a pub on two floors and a shisha lounge. Läs mer
September 6, 2018 : I had a 14-hour layover in Dubai and rather than pay the price of a sleep pod in the airport I booked this hotel for approximately AUD$50. It is so close and easy to get to from the airport, it took only about 10 minutes to get there. I checked in and had a shower. I ordered some food and by 6pm I was asleep as I had a 3am flight, the hotel was so quite, I wasn’t disturbed at all whilst sleeping. The room was clean. The housekeeping staff were great, when I asked for some extra toiletries, they happily organised it for me. I asked the reception staff to organise a taxi at 1:15am and as I went down stairs to check out the taxi was there. They happily assisted in making sure the taxi driver knew which terminal to take me to. I do agree with some of the other comments that the hotel is a little tired, but this did not affect my stay there at all. This is a great little place to stay if you have a longer layover in Dubai and don’t want to pay the price of a sleeping POD in the airport. Läs mer
July 22, 2018 : My experience at the Raintree wasn’t so green. Th hot l has a good location, nice design and decoration. Although the room is nicely furnished, unfortunately it wants maintained well; some of the light bulbs were off, the toilet was little rusty and the towels looked like they’re been there for weeks. Another annoying issue was that most of the TV channels were not working and what left was boring to watch. On Friday morning I thought let me go check the swimming pool so I called the reception and asked if it’s open and they said it will be in few minutes, I went up and I found that the lights were off and the door to the pool was locked... I called the reception and they sent someone after 20 minuets. Th pool was nicely sized but the place was very dirty and even there were glasses from the night before. On Saturday morning I checked the breakfast buffet and my advice to you is not to pay for it, the food was cold, not much options to choose from and the silverware/dishes weren’t so clean. One more information for the people who can’t walk or don’t like to walk during summer, the hotel is not very close to the Deira City Center mall, you have to cross the road to get there. Don’t get me wrong the hotel is good and the staff as well but it can be great if the management focuses on the things I mentioned above.Läs mer
