Radisson Blu Residence, Dubai Marina

Location of the Hotel

The room is very clean comfortable and spacious with a very comfortable bed and with spacious balcony with great city view. I was able to use the Laundry Machine and I liked the quality of the iron board and iron box that came in very handy for me as a business traveler that needed to straighten suit shirts. Bathroom provisions were sufficient and quality. The location is pristine. The staff were very kind and professional. The two ladies and two gentlemen at the reception were very helpful and made our stay special. The gentlemen at concierge were great and they helped us a great deal with transport arrangements and Baggage. A gentleman in black suit at the lobby area, probably security, was very warm to us and always very welcoming.

The staff was very friendly, from the time we arrived , we were received very warmly. We got upgraded from a studio apartment to a 1 bedroom apartment. Very grateful for that, we traveled with a toddler and an infant so the upgrade came in very handy , more room to manage the kids. A crib was immediately provided which was great. Special shout to Mr Piumbiri, he was very helpful, from the moment we dropped off our cab, he went over and beyond to settle us in, helping us get what we needed both from the hotel and outside. Mr Piumbiri, you made our trip extra special.

There are so many good things I can write about my stay, but here are the things that I liked the most: - Location is perfect. Everything is accessible by feet: 2 mins to Marina promenade, 2 mins to the metro and tram stations, 5 mins to Marina Mall, 20 mins to the beach). - There's a nice street food Lebanese restaurant on the ground floor of the hotel (one of the best in Dubai in my opinion) and a small Starbucks. Also, there are a couple of grocery stores around the corner. - The staff is amazing: very professional, friendly and responsive. Whatever we asked for we got immediately. The cleaning team is so good! I don't think I've ever seen the cleaning team paying so much attention to the details while doin their job. Pool team is very friendly, engaging and they definitely like children! - Pool area is very nice. It looks stylish, has a nice view. There's a children pool and children playground there. Also, a small bar and a lounge area where you can eat. - Everything is very clean and well maintained. - We got a free room upgrade and a cake because of our wedding anniversary. Lovely! - We stayed in 1-bedroom apartment, it was pretty spacious and comfortable and it looked better than on the pictures. - Our view to Marina and the sea was lovely! - There are beach towels and beach bags available on reception if you want to got to JBR beach to swim. I would definitely stay here again!
