Great

Had a very relaxing 5 night stay. Staff were very friendly, the room was clean though starting to look a bit tired. The pool area was lovely and quiet during our stay. The only issue we had is that after we checked out we realised we had misplaced a set of headphones. We emailed the hotel straightaway but had no response. We tried calling and finally got through and told they would look into it and call back. To date we still have not had a response. Very disappointing!

Good location for exploring the east of the city

Room was decent overall..but thebi ineffciency of the staff in managing reservations and findkding solutions was awful. From reception , to coffee shop to the restaurant (horse and hound)..its crazy hownthese guys would not listen to customers ans

Room cleaner very good

Public areas are spectacular and pristine but room was a little dated although clean. I cannot give a good rating for overall cleanliness though due to the breakfast restaurant being outside and all the cold foods uncovered on a polo resort. Naturally there were flies but they were on the cold foods and trying to eat was difficult with flies buzzing around our plates. We raised this as an issue with management and asked if we could sit inside somewhere. This was not possible as there was no inside seating. We eventually were able to have breakfast in our room but even that was difficult to agree and we had a phone call from room service one morning at 2 am to inform us that we were not allowed to have breakfast in our room. We were asleep at that time. Shame about the flies as this let the whole resort down but getting them to understand that is a real hygiene issue seemed to go completely over their heads.

The restaurants in this hotel are really good, especially the Lebanese one, and the polo/barn is really great, but the rest leaves something to be desired. The breakfast buffet was just OK. The pool area badly needs updating - it is not luxurious at all. They put me in a room directly above a construction site (work on the hotel) which started at 8 am and ended at 7 - yet the hotel is huge, and was not full. Also be aware the restaurant/pub can get loud with outdoor music and games. But it’s a fun place. I would just say this isn’t a 5 star hotel. It’s just ok.

This place is stunning and relaxing. The room was spacious and clean with a beautiful view of the polo field and the Burji khalifa in the distance. The food we had was delicious and a good variety. We used the hotel to stay while we visited our son who lives close by and we will use this hotel again. Fantastic place for relaxing or entertainment. Evening was lovely to sit and enjoy each others company or have a bar meal.

I recently stayed at a so-called five-star hotel in Dubai, and I was deeply disappointed with both the service and the amenities. The check-in process was slow, and the valet completely ignored me, failing to offer luggage assistance. The bed was rock-hard and uncomfortable, making it impossible to sleep well. The TV was malfunctioning with no channels available, and the Nespresso machine was provided without any coffee capsules. The room’s insulation was poor, allowing cold air and dust to enter, and the AC had no heating option, leaving me freezing on a cold winter night. The water pressure in the bathroom was abysmally low, making it difficult to shower properly. For a hotel of this caliber, these issues are unacceptable. Overall, the hotel’s lack of attention to basic details and poor service makes it feel more like a 2- or 3-star property. I would strongly advise against staying here, as it failed to meet even the most basic expectations.

I was quite disappointed with my stay in Al Habtoor. I expected so much more than what was on offer. Upon checking in, the room was clearly not cleaned properly, but I overlooked until the damp/sewage smell started coming through the bathroom. The AC was set to 25/26 degrees but the room was so cold we had to ask for a heater in Dubai! Never had that experience all my time travelling to Dubai. And of course, despite asking for a heater all day, it wasn't brought until later that evening. By day 2, it was unbearable, and had to ask to be moved to a new room, after already unpacking everything, with a baby as well. The second room wasn't any better in terms of cleanliness, and whenever they were supposed to tidy and clean the room in the mornings, they never changed the sheets, didn't vacuum or clean the floor properly and didn't bother cleaning any surfaces. They would only make the beds and take the rubbish out. It was such poor service. Baby and I were also bitten by some kind of insects and covered in spots. The breakfast on offer too was terrible. Poor options, the bread and pastry was always hard and stale. I skipped breakfast most days, that's how poor it was. Definitely don't recommend. It sounds fancier than it actually is.
