Nice hotel within the expo complex

The hotel is clean, rooms are comfortable and services are great. Nice to have a roof swimming pool, a sport bar where to watch football and a fully equipped gym. Some of the cleaning staff were a bit noisy but overall I had a good stay

Weekend stay

Had a hard time driving to the hotel on account of all the work ongoing at Expo City, however our stay was great as usual at Rove hotels. Comfortable bed, nice pool with view on Al Wasl dome, fantastic breakfast, youthful polite staff. We also enjoyed playing ping pong in the lounge.

Really great hotel - got an early check-in as arrived early in the morning. Recerption staff couldn't be more helpful and Emmanuel on the coffee bar gave excellent customer service. Really great stay It's a way out from Downtown Dubai but a nice 40mins metro ride or a 30mins cab ride.....but worth it.

Another nice and relaxing stay at Rove!

Another nice stay at this hotel in the expo area. I come here often to take advantage of the facilities to work from the hall and to relax at the swimming pool. Moreover the area is quiet so it’s good for night walks. liked the fact that I was welcomed by Mustafa, the manager, who acknowledged that I’m now part of the rove family!! The only main downside - but I guess it’s not managed by the hotel, are the construction workers in the nearby building that sometimes are very inappropriate and harass guests (got some money stolen and the other night I discovered one worker snooping into my room from the opposite building with a telescope)

Nice hotel but did not give VIP access privileges

I booked this room for my parents, with a VIP access from Hotels.com which entitled them to a free upgrade if available and a free beverage per person per stay. They checked-in right when the check-in opened (guaranteeing the greatest availability of rooms, supposedly) and got allocated a room with a backyard/no view. They had to insist in order to get one of the numerous rooms that has a view over the EXPO dome (which was the purpose of staying in this hotel in the first place). They also had to ask in order to get their free beverage. Overall I am a little disappointed that they had to "fight" in order to get some things that should have come easily and naturally. They come from far and decide of all the hotels in Dubai, to stay in the one in EXPO, to have a view on the backstreet? I am thankful the hotel eventually supported them and corrected the mistake, but it did not feel quite VIP...

Nice hotel and staff, but the area is quite remote for Dubai. I did find some decent food nearby, but needed to travel to see any night life or interests - the whole Expo City area was mostly empty during my stay.

El hotel me decepcionó mucho esperaba mucho más, realmente decidimos reservar en este hotel porque queríamos ver sus luces y disfrutar de sus atracciones pero según nos comentaron todo estaba cerrado porque no era meses de turismo, mi pregunta es los meses restantes no hay turismo en Dubai cuando realmente viven del turismo, el hotel con todas sus tradiciones oscuras. Otra cosa el metro el último viajes es las 11 de la noche si estás en el centro tienes que llegar corriendo al metro antes de las 11 del hotel al centro son de una hora, es realmente incómodo porque si por el calor no puedes salir en el día y de noche es más fácil hacer paseos. Los Caritos de golf te lo cobran que creo yo que debería ser parte de las intenciones, los restaurantes súper caros y con pocas opciones, a diferencia del centro tienes más posibilidades para comer. La cama pésima por lo menos la que nos tocó estaba hundida súper incómoda, las toallas de blanca nada súper duras para secarte,yo por mi parte no lo recomiendo en el mes que fuimos.
