Guest Reviews
Location
The hotel's futuristic and legendary design, combined with its comfortable and luxurious interiors, contributes significantly to its appeal. Guests frequently commend the ease of access to key city attractions and the quiet, serene environment despite being centrally located. The location also allows for convenient taxi rides throughout the city, though the metro is a bit further on foot, especially in the hotter months.

The hotel’s cleanliness and the unique architecture by Zeev Hadid also stand out in the reviews. ME Dubai by Meliá seems to offer a perfect blend of style, convenience and luxury, ensuring a memorable stay for anyone visiting Dubai.
Breakfast
The breakfast at ME Dubai is largely served à la carte rather than in a buffet style, which has led to mixed reviews. Some guests appreciate the calm, uncrowded environment and the ability to order from a menu, finding the food generous and well-curated. However, others feel that the options are limited and do not meet the standard expected from a five-star hotel. Instances of slow service and specific items not meeting guest expectations have also been noted.
The breakfast area itself is generally well-regarded for its pleasant atmosphere and high-quality products. The presentation of the food is often deemed aesthetically pleasing and some guests particularly enjoy the fresh ingredients and customizable dishes prepared by the chef.
However, for guests who prefer a wide variety of choices and a traditional buffet setup, the lack of these options at ME Dubai has been a point of disappointment. Some describe the breakfast as below average or not up to standard when compared to other hotels in the region.
In summary, while the breakfast at ME Dubai by Meliá is often praised for its quality, taste and excellent service, the limited variety and absence of a buffet option may not cater to everyone's preferences.
Dinner
Many guests have appreciated the high standards in preparation, especially for special occasions like wedding anniversaries. Facilities, staff, room service and ambiance add to a positive dining experience with special mention of outstanding customer service. The unique restaurant offerings within the hotel contribute significantly to its charm, though it's noted that some dining venues operate independently, focusing services primarily beyond breakfast.
However, some reviews indicate a few drawbacks, such as limited in-room dining menu variations, disappointing pastries and slower service at times. The lack of outdoor dining options and some closures also detract from the dining experience for some guests. Despite these few criticisms, the overall experience at the hotel's dining venues is marked by delicious food, great meals and pleasant, hassle-free service, making it a noteworthy culinary destination in Dubai.
Rooms
However, some areas need improvement. Guests mentioned issues with lighting and the lack of full-length mirrors. Occasional cleanliness lapses, such as dirty glasses and empty tissue boxes, were reported. Noise from ongoing construction and air conditioning turbine sounds disrupted the tranquility for some. Some rooms were described as dark or slightly smaller than expected and the bathroom's layout and maintenance raised concerns for a few visitors.
Overall, despite some minor setbacks, the guest experience at ME Dubai by Meliá is often heightened by the hotel's beautiful architecture, spacious and clean rooms and advanced amenities, making it a favored destination for travelers seeking a modern and luxurious stay.

Gym
However, not all feedback is glowing. A few guests have pointed out that the gym could benefit from being larger and have emphasized that some equipment was not working during their visit. There are also mentions of the fitness center being closed at times, which detracted from the experience for those guests.
Despite these drawbacks, the gym is generally perceived as an excellent and much-appreciated amenity with staff members like Magdy receiving specific praise for their contribution to the positive experience. Overall, while there is room for improvement, particularly in ensuring all equipment is functional and the space is fully accessible, the gym at ME Dubai by Meliá is a valued feature that enhances the hotel stay for many guests.

The pool temperature also emerges as a concern with reports of the water being cold.
Service around the pool area seems inconsistent. While the pool and reception staff are described as attentive, the specific service at the poolside bar is perceived as slow and at times nonexistent. The closing time of the pool at 6 pm is seen as too early for some guests, limiting their enjoyment.
In summary, while the pool at ME Dubai by Meliá is often described as beautiful and well-designed, the experience could be enhanced with better cleaning, more attentive service and longer operating hours.
Parking
However, there are significant concerns with the efficiency of the valet parking service. Many guests have reported long waits for their vehicles and delays in both receiving and delivering their cars. This slow service leads to frustration, especially when parking is only available through the valet and guests are unable to park their cars themselves. Additionally, there have been instances where valet parking was not available or was excessively crowded due to employees using the spaces for their office purposes.
Moreover, the inconvenience has been compounded by issues such as paying penalties for lost valet tickets, further exacerbating the negative experience for some guests. For travelers seeking a hassle-free parking experience, using a taxi to reach the hotel might be the most convenient option given the current challenges with the valet service.
