We have recently returned from 7 days at this fantastic hotel. Unfortunately we had a bit of a poor start to our holiday because our airline lost our luggage and it arrived 36 hours after we did!! The Concierge team were fantastic at this point and dealt with the airport chasing up our luggage regularly and most importantly helping me... More

We normally prefer to stay in small boutique style hotels but struggled to find something like this in Dubai. We plumped for Raffles as we wanted a mix of relaxation & sight-seeing and this looked like a good location to do that. The transfer time from the hotel was extremely quick - circa 10 mins. First tip, don't book a... More

Stayed at many Dubai hotels and always fancied staying here but always seemed overly expensive. Found reasonable price in booking.com so gave it a go. We were really impressed with the room, good size, nice decor, balcony was really good with nice furniture, plants etc. Pool area was nice, staff seemed very friendly and competent. Only slight criticism was the... More

My wife and I recently spent 5 day in Dubai and the raffles hotel was amazing. First the place is beautiful, in typical Dubai fashion the hotel exterior is very ostentatious. The entire hotel is shaped like a pyramid with a lounge and restaurant located on the top level. The interior of the hotel is spotless and filled with beautiful... More

The location was very convenient - a 5 minute ride from the airport and 15 minutes to the city. Upon arrival I warmly greeted by the staff, and recognized by name thoughout my three day-two night stay.... More
