Canal Central Hotel

Nice hotel located in Business Bay - south of the canal. 15 mins shuttle to Kite Beach. 5 mins taxi ride to Dubai Mall and Burj Khalifa. Rooms are spacious. Breakfast OK. Somewhat slow service in the pool bar/restaurant. Towels are provided both to the beach and pool. 3 minutes walk to Super Market.

Flott og nytt hotel (juni 2018) Skal bygges nye bygg på begge sider av hotellet som muligens vil kunne ta bort noen soltimer ved poolen? Hyggelige og serviceinnstilte folk både ved poolen og i restauranten:) Ved poolen kjempeservice av "lifeguard" Iswor, og i restauranten av Michael.

So so service for a 5 star hotel

Great large hotel with a great breakfast and fantastic pool.

The building is new and nice lobby, but front-desk and bar concierge staff not trained for 5 star. The hotel is in the middle of nowhere with constructions everywhere around so there is nothing interesting in walking distance. The closest super market is like 10 minutes away walk in a dusty road with all constructions. Rooms nice decoration but windows won't open so you don't get fresh air and it could get stuffy and smoky inside the room, No heater provided so room can get to 19-20 degrees at night cold. The swimming pool is always in shade blocked by the hotel building itself and a loud construction site right next to it with dust, it looks nice but it's a pitty it's not usable water isn't that hot so nobody was swimming only people wrapped in towels in the shades or trying to get some sun at the edges of the pool area which is the only part gets a little sun. The pool restaurant served me a sandwich that has cheese on it but it wasn't mentioned on the menu and I'm lactose intolerance and wouldn't admit that there is cheese in it until I called the chef and then they replaced it. The front-desk kind of rude and wouldn't let my guest come up even though I had reservation for 2 people and I was only one. Might be ok for 1-2 nights stay but I wouldn't come back.
