Like many others I booked this hotel after reading the positive reviews on trip advisor and I wasn't disappointed. My boyfriend and I stayed here for six nights for our first visit to Dubai and after visiting several other hotels whilst we were there I can honestly say I wouldn't have swapped the Grosvenor for any of them.

The room itself was spacious and well appointed and the bathroom was suitably luxurious. The huge bed was so comfy it was a bit of a stretch getting out of it every morning. House keeping were fantastic and it was a nice surprise each day to find out which fruit had been left in the room!!!

I challenge anyone to not find something they like at the breakfast buffet, we were truly spoilt for choice. All the usual cooked American/ English breakfast items (including baked beans, very important) as well as lots of fresh fruits, cereals, full continental, local foods and a station full of cakes and treats!

The location of the hotel was perfect for tourists, the Marina area is close to lots of good restaurants and bars and it only costs a few pounds to get anywhere in a taxi, which the wonderful doormen will summon for you. The metro stop is just a few minutes walk away you can get right into downtown Dubai on that for a couple of pounds.

We ate in one of the hotels restaurants, Indego, which was lovely and frequented both Bar44 and the Buddah Bar. We had a dip in the hotel pool, although it didn't get the sun all day round, and used the pool facilities at the sister hotel too which were much bigger and ideal for a relaxing day.

Everything was spotlessly clean and well presented and the staff were all polite and helpful.
My only slight niggle, which is just a general culture difference I guess, was that when checking in we were asked to provide a credit card for any charges to the room. I went in my purse and provided my card and the gentlemen on reception put my card in the machine, entered the details and then passed it to my boyfriend for him to put the pin in. He looked slightly awkward and passed it back to me and I did the honours. It was a very small exchange, but it left me fuming! My other half doesn't even have a credit card and as I'd paid for the whole booking in my name it really got my back up. The assumption that my boyfriend should have been the one paying and I was simply there for the ride really offended me.
Now I realise it is a cultural difference and we encountered this in other establishments too but in a 5* hotel that must have western women staying there all the time I would have expected a bit more equality.
So aside from that the whole trip was great and going back each night to the GH was a real treat.

We decided to stay at the Grosvenor after reading reviews on trip advisor. The moment we landed at 0800 we were greeted by our chauffeur and from that moment things were just amazing. The chauffeur was complementary when you booked a premier room, this just eased the pain of getting a taxi from the airport.

We arrived at the hotel around 10am and was welcomed with an ice cold beverage, we were then told to our delight that our room was ready for us to check into. On arrival at the hotel our luggage was taking from us, we were then shown around the various places in the lobby. The whole process of arrival is so swept up, you wouldn't expect anything less from this hotel.

We booked a junior premier suite as our room choice, although a little more expensive than a deluxe room the benefits are far greater. We got access to the level 5 lounge, this gives you breakfast, afternoon tea which is delicious and has many choices to tempt your taste buds. Along with all this you also get complementary drinks from 1800-2000 and various delicious foods for your evening meal. The lounge is really worth the extra money and when we visit again, we will definitely be upgrading to get the lounge access.

The hotel as a fantastic spa facility, it has everything you would want on holiday to help you relax. The hotel also has a free shuttle bus to the sister hotel (le meridien) which is where you can relax on the beach, it takes around 5 minutes at the most to travel there. The beach and the pool at the sister hotel are amazing. The hotel also offers a shuttle bus to the emirates mall but only at selected times, again this is free for residents.

The location of this hotel is second to none. It is 5 minutes walk from the metro station which allows you to travel to places cheaper than taxis. The marina on which the hotel sits by is delightful and at night the views are simply stunning.

one of the few 5 star hotels that actually learns them. The staff are smart, availbale and helpful, the views from the 44th floor (cigar / dinks bar0 are wonderful as are the cigars. The food in the resturants makes a decent attempt to include tradional arabic food. it clean smart and quite. it is sistered with the Royal meridean (3 minute walk as the crow flies, but actually 7-10 minute walk and 10-12 minute drive away due to the ridiculous one way system around the marina).
outside dining is available.

This hotel lives up to its VERY high standard of customer care. ALL staff were so attentive and deserve to be praised. We disembarked from the Queen Mary 2 at 9.15am on 28th January 2013 in Dubai. We were booked into the Grosvenor House Hotel for two nights. The taxi fare from Port Rashid was about 80 AED. Although check in time is officially timed as 2pm, we checked in immediately on arrival at 10am. We were invited to make ourselves comfortable on a sofa in the very impressive lobby whilst our booking voucher, credit card and passports were taken away to the reception desk. Whilst waiting we were given a refreshing cold flannel and a glass of iced ginger ale. Check in was swift and we were immediately escorted to our deluxe room number 2602. The room was spacious, well appointed and very high tech. Our bags quickly arrived. The door card/key acts as the power key inside. Although the card was in the power slot, the lights kept switching off. I pointed this out to the chap who delivered our cases. We re-inserted the card and all it seemed to be fine (I had not pushed the key all the way into the slot!). Nevertheless with about five minutes I had a telephone call asking if the lights were working OK....very good customer care! The hotel is located within the Dubai Marina complex about 50 yards from the water. There many places to eat along the water front at reasonable prices. The area was very lively in the evening. Breakfast in the hotel had everything you could wish for with the added attention of waiting staff. There are various choices of restaurants in the hotel. On our last night we decided to eat in the mezzanine restaurant where breakfast is served. It was a buffet dinner costing 250 AED per person. Again an excellent choice of food with excellent service. The hotel is about 5 minutes walk from the metro monorail. We travelled up to the Creek to visit the Gold Souk. The journey is 35 minutes each way. The fare was 22 AED (under £4) for two of us...and that was for return fares! On leaving we left at 7am by taxi for the airport where we arrived about 30 minutes later paying 80 AED. DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR AND TREAT YOURSELF TO A STAY AT THE GROSVENOR HOUSE.
