Carlton Palace Hotel

A little smaller than the new generation of business hotels

The hotel is situated in the heart of Al Rigga with plenty on the doorstep which I much appreciated having spent time in other hotels where there is little within walking distance, The rooms were spotlessly clean and well appointed while the staff were unfailingly polite. The fact the hotel is smaller than the megahotels which dot Dubai makes for a much more friendly stay than the typical impersonal and rather sterile experience

great pool

pool open from 7am to 10 pm which is great especially in the hot summer season when you cant stay long there during sunshine hours. staff is very helpful and friendly. huge variety on food for breakfast.

wifi was there but did not really work in our room. signal too weak. was working well in the lobby.

Fabulous Comfortable Stay

Great Value. Loved the newly refurbished pool. Lots of workout equipment. Big clean, nicely furnished rooms. The buffet breakfast is worth including in the room rate. There were many choices with some variance. The staff was attentive all around. Our room was cleaned each day while we were at breakfast. Decor is pleasing to the eye. Very quiet and got the best night sleep in a long while. Close to Union and AL Rigga Metro stops so easy to and from airport. Amazing Value.

Obviously we enjoyed our stay, The only negative I could find is that the workout equipment could be cleaner.

Value for money

The rate I paid is "very very good" considering the 5stars hotels rates in Dubai . Should the rate have been as high as other 5stars hotels in Dubai I would have selected another residence for my 3 nights . The location of the hotel is not bad but it is also not good .
