Book 25hours Hotel One Central to experience the elegance, luxury, and picturesque décor in its true meaning. This lavish 5-star hotel is breaking boundaries by partnering with Dubai’s coolest establishment, Euro cool. Aiming to let the guests explore the most intriguing version of the city, 25hours Hotel One Central is coming up with interactive ideas, like the concept of slogans such as “come to bed with me” and the first mixed-gender sauna in the Middle East.
It features 434 rooms whose cores are influenced by Middle Eastern opulence and Berlin-style minimalism. These mini worlds are equipped with almost every amenity one can wish to have, including vintage polaroid cameras, typewriters, and more.
Of the several offered suits, if we have to choose one, it must be the Hakawati Suite. It features a pleasing blend of warm and bright colors. This suit is specifically designed for parties and friend’s night outs as it boasts a private bar area, a terrace, and a space for DJ.
25hours Hotel One Central boasts one of Dubai’s hottest spots, the Monkey Bar! It’s a jungle-covered rooftop terrace featuring stunning views of the Museum of the Future and drool-worthy cocktails. It doesn’t end at this!
The charm of this hotel lies in the “Extra Hour Spa.” It’s where guests get to enjoy the pacifying three-step treatment, including the facial, body wrap, and massage. Besides these, what sets this hotel apart from its top-tier competitors is that it offers special amenities for guests with mobility needs and plays a vital role in making the environment green.
Conclusively, besides lacking Dubai’s signature glossiness, 25hours Hotel One Central is something one thinks a thousand times before skipping. Everything from the worth appreciable hospitality and a plethora of amenities to classic vintage-inspired décor and more can be considered to answer why!

Loved the vibe!
Loved the design of the Bedouin rooms. Gym and spa facilities were great. Food in the bar was tasty but a fairly limited menu.
The only drawback for me was the loud music and cars coming into the quadrangle and revving engines. I was working and needed quiet to sleep - otherwise I would have been tempted to join!

Very good
Amazing facilities and the rooms are super nice. Impressive architecture, food and breakfast and the staff are great. Very good location.
They are a bit of a “party hotel”, with events almost everyday and an actual functioning bar / club on their 6th floor so if you are looking for a peaceful stay I’d stay away or request a room where you can’t hear the noise (as we did). When we arrived there was literally a party going on in the lobby for thousands of people and we haven’t been informed in advance. The staff was great and gave us a quieter room / and a courtesy breakfast but still if I’d have to go through parties in my hotel for 2-3 days in a row I’d not like it.

Otherwise the hotel is beautiful
Because it was UAE PH there was concert and party held nearby or in the hotel. It lasted till 2am i think so it was too loud. And it was hassle dropping off due to long q into the hotel. We only had 1 night of peaceful evening before we checked out.

You feel good, really like home, but with amazing service and staff.
Thing that i liked the most was the atmosphere and the set design all around. You actually really feel like home. The hotel is not like another one, it really has such good test. Common areas are really chilled. The pool on the rooftop is amazing. Didn't get the chance to test the Monkey bar but i heard a lot of goo things. Service is really good. Staff is really nice.
Maybe the gym could be upgraded with more equipment ?

A unique place to stay.
Lovely pool area. Good breakfast. Clean.
Rooms were unusual due to reflecting Bedouin style accommodation. More like a glamping tent experience. Bed and pillows very soft.

Cool vibes in the heart of Dubai
Location was spot on the center of Dubai. Easy to access all key locations. The hotel has a unique vibe, with all the decorations, artsy rooms, and the very nice to chill patio. Plus, Monkey Bar is on the rooftop, with a killer view to Museum of the Future.
My room was right under Monkey Bar - while I enjoyed its music, I would also enjoy a great sleep before 3 am :) It wasn't too bad, but still needs improvement. Also, the breakfast could be more luxurious than the one offered - very tasty though.

The bath room is quite below expectation, focuses on looks over function. Breakfast could be bettee

This is a real place for nomads. The restaurants and bars have got a nice vibe.
I would say the hotel is better for solo travelers and those with business-purpose trip rather than for couples and those with leisure-purpose trip.

Memorable
This hotel is definitely one of my faves in Dubai. Omar at the reception was very attentive and friendly. He went above and beyond to make our stay very comfortable especially that we are celebrating.
The team works around the clock to cater to its crowd, so you better be expecting a delay to get your car.

There is construction in the entrance of the hotel

I will stay again there next time I visit Dubai
Unique decoration and concept, location very good! Great energy and staff

While I appreciate the hotel's unique aesthetic and excellent service, these issues unfortunately impacted my stay.
The hotel's interior design was a unique blend of futuristic and antique elements, which I found very appealing. The breakfast buffet was also excellent, with a wide variety of delicious options. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my stay.
There were a few issues that detracted from my overall experience. I had to change rooms many times due to disturbances from maintenance work in the first room and a strong paint smell in the second. Additionally, the temperature of the shower bath water was inconsistent, fluctuating between extremely hot and cold.

100% recommend
This hotel is such a vibe. The decor is amazing and it smells amazing! I had so many wonderful interactions with the staff (except for 1, which is always so sad). I’d still go back and recommend to everyone.
The bath towels felt a bit old. May be time to replace them.

Cozy, young, and comfy
I loved the comfortable bed and pillows!! The room set up was cute and very homey it fit cozy. The vibes of the whole place was wonderful and it has young spirit. The Nomad cafe was very good the staff were also nice. We also tried the spa and it was 10/10. I lived one of the best memories there.
At night the music was very loud from the bar above our rooms in the 5th floor. We could feel the base while we slept. The shampoo and soap were drying and smelled bad but it didn’t effect our stay that much.

Be aware of the room with the street view
It is very nice place, room with good size. Swimming pool with nice view
Don’t take a room that have view to the street! It is very noisy I couldn’t sleep until I asked to change to another room!! Hotel should have noise cancelation windows

Hip 'n happening hotel, fantastic to stay
The vibe of this hotel is unique! Beautiful deco, the staff couldn't be nicer and more professional, the facilities were really nice looking and accessible, immediate service from the team, only a few minutes walking from the world trade center. Monkey bar is fun and the pool relaxing. Max from the spa gave me the best massage. Great place to stay!
The plugs in my room were confusing, but that happens in many hotels. Also the mattress needed to be turned around.

I had a lovely time at 25hrs. It offers all conveniences and has some unique character for Dubai.
Great and friendly service. Lovely breakfast. Good massage. Nice pool area with a sweet view. You can easily not leave the hotel for a day or so, and still enjoy your stay in Dubai. My friend who told me to book this hotel loves the place so it kept her happy too!
I could have done with half as many motivational quotes throughout the hotel. I had a noise issue day one due to some refurbishment in an adjacent space, but I got a fantastic upgrade instead of being just moved a couple of doors, when I let them know this was an problem for me.

Very Aesthetic
Considering that the quality of Dubai hotels is higher than many other countries, this hotel also gets a high score. The atmosphere of this hotel and its lobby is very different from other hotels in Dubai. You will definitely not regret staying at this hotel. I definitely recommend this hotel. hotel vibe is amazing.

Amazing stay! Fun, relaxing and great for solo business travel.
I loved this hotel! I travel often for work, sometimes solo, and this hotel is definitely one of the top ones I've visited around the world. The staff is very nice and helpful without being overbearing. The hotel restaurant is great, the bar serves superb negronis, and there are spa facilities. I needed to do some work after checking out and used their co-working space, which was a plus. When I arrived, I did the check-in very late at night and Ilias from check in service was so kind! Special shout out to James from security who went out of his way to find my lost credit card, and Adi from the Spa who was so kind and friendly to me. Last shoutout goes to Daniel from the bar, who makes perfect Negronis!!!
the only thing that I flagged to staff was a damaged hair drier in my room. Other than that, everything was great! Another small detail is that I did not have any reading light next to my bed, only on the table/desk.
19 September 2024
Super cool, would come here again with friends especially if we want to stay in downtown.
Variety of choices for breakfast. I like the decor and how they've designed the hotel with the books to borrow from and a reading area. The rooms are also designed in ways that follow specific cultural concepts which I also appreciate
the pool - not much of an atmosphere and there was barely any staff earlier to take orders.
