An excellent 3 star hotel
This hotel advertises as a 3 star and totally overdelivers on this promise. 10 min walk to Dubai Mall, you can even take a shortcut without motorways crossings (much quicker than what navigator offers). Walk through Fridays to outdoors -> turn left on the Parking lot -> use a side door to exit the hotel land -> head to the Downtown Views I skyscraper -> then there is a footpath overground to the Dubai Mall. Thank me later
If you put a "DND" tag on your door for 3 consecutive days they start calling you and leaving letters saying that they need to check up on me, as if I'm hiding a body

It’s the second time we stay at this hotel, the staff were really helpful. Pooja at the front desk was really great. The staff were super helpful. For food and drinks, there is a TGIF on the premises and a Costa cafe, as well as a supermarket.

With the exception of a most uncomfortable bed my stay was fabulous— staff were happy and helpful and the room was cozy.
Convenient location while still being away from the traffic noise
I found my bed particularly uncomfortable — way too hard for me to get a decent sleep.

We left hotel completely impressed and full of positive emotions. Without any doubt we will return and choose this hotel
We spent four wonderful days at this hotel celebrating our son’s birthday, and from the moment we made the reservation until the very end of our stay, the entire team made our experience truly magical. The hotel went above and beyond to make our child feel special. He was absolutely delighted by the birthday gift waiting for him in the room, the breathtaking view of the Burj Khalifa, and the warm congratulations he received from the staff throughout the entire day. Every interaction made his birthday even more memorable. The staff deserve special praise for their genuine kindness and attentiveness. They were always happy to help us navigate the city and gave excellent recommendations on where to go and the best time to visit different places. Their care and personal approach made us feel truly welcome. We left the hotel completely impressed and full of positive emotions. Without a doubt, we will return and choose this hotel again. Thank you for creating such unforgettable memories for our family!
Everything just perfect!

Great location, super comfy bed, and friendly, attentive service
We had a fantastic stay at Rove Downtown Dubai. The room was spotless, the bed was super comfortable, and everything felt modern and well looked after. Breakfast was really tasty with plenty of choice, and the staff were consistently attentive and welcoming throughout our stay. Also, the 24/7 minimarket inside the hotel is very convenient for snacks, drinks, or anything you might need at any time. Overall a smooth, comfortable experience - highly recommended!
Honestly, nothing to complain about - everything was great. Clean, comfortable, and very well organized.

Best value for money hotel in Dubai. Hands down!
Upon arriving early the lady at the front desk said that because it was our first time checking in to ROVE that we would be able to check in early which was amazing. Secondly I didn’t pay extra for a Burj view, but still surprisingly got a view of the Burj from the side window which was absolutely stunning!
My one and ONLY request would be for the shuttle service to operate a little longer, it didn’t operate past 16:00, which is a bit unfair since the arranged check in time was 14:00.
14 January 2026
Very good
Friendliness of staff. I must commend Mohamed for his help and advise and staff willing to provide an earlier check in and storing our luggage.
The aircon unit was set too high - even for winter - and could not be manually changed. Both maintenance staff could not get it corrected!

Good for short stays and quick trips
A beautiful hotel with a good location close to Dubai Mall and distinguished by the idea of providing private transportation for the hotel to several places in Dubai. It was noted that the size of the rooms is small and there are no classifications for rooms according to number if the number is 3 adults, so booking a new room for an additional adult is tolerated. In addition, the lower floors have an unwanted smell and small insects compared to the upper floors of the hotel overlooking Burj Khalifa, for example.
The rooms are small and do not have good ventilation, which is the reason for the strange smell and the accumulation of small insects.

We loved pretty much everything about this hotel. Its location was excellent - an easy walk to Dubai Mall and about a 20-minute taxi ride to the souks and old town in one direction and to Dubai Marina in the other. The staff were OUTSTANDING! So helpful - allowing us to check in early after our long flight - and understanding when there was a problem with our newly-issued bank card. Our rooms were decently sized and the beds were comfortable. The pool and gym were both excellent - large and clean and with Burj Khalifa views! The on-site shop was also extremely well stocked and came in very handy. It would have been great if the coffee shop had alternative milks (other than dairy) but this was a minor inconvenience.
The only slight downside was the on-site restaurant, TGI Fridays. It seemed a little incongruous for a fast-food American chain with mediocre food to be the restaurant choice for an otherwise exemplary hotel. Given that Dubai is such a foodie destination, I'd have thought there were many other more appropriate options.

Great central location, staff was very helpful.
Great location for Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall. Also one block from Big Bus hop on/off station. Very convenient for red line tour
Travel to The Palms in the afternoons took nearly 2hrs in one direction
