We have just returned from a week's break in Dubai, and we stayed at the Metropolitan Palace for 7 nights. I will admit I was a bit worried about the choice of hotel having read some of the reviews on this site, but I can honestly say we had a great experience and would definitely return to this hotel if... more

My husband booked the hotel as a last minute suprise for us for our 10th wedding anniversity and I can honestly say it was absolutely stunning!!! The staff were very helpful when we arrived late at night to find our card was blocked! everyhting was sorted out the next day when they went out of their way to make calls... more

Just back from a week in MPH. This is definately not a 5 star hotel by Dubai standards, more like a 3-4. On checking in I was asked upfront for 2000 dh, "to cover incidentals" I gave my credit card which then had 2000 dh taken from it and now wait for it to be put back on, as I... more

Loved it for a short -5day - break. In the city, and excellent for shopping -we had half-board, and would probably not do that again , but for our 1st visit to Dubai and having heard al the stories about how expensive it is to eat out, we thought we'd go half-board.

I was too busy to notice... more

The Metropolitan Palace is a hotel that should avoided at all costs when staying in Dubai. There are plenty of better hotels, in better locations and some even at better prices than here. We booked an executive room, which allowed snacks and soft drinks during the day in a lounge reserved for executive room residents, followed by alcholic drinks in... more

This was a 1 week half term trip with my husband and 14 year old daughter. Having read reviews on trip advisor, the first thing we did when we checked in, was to upgrade the room.For an extra £100 per night, we had a junior suite- 2 rooms. The package then included all our alcoholic beverages in the evening, afternoon... more
