Guest Reviews
Location
The location is particularly noted for being quiet and peaceful, far from the hustle and bustle of the more congested areas. Despite this tranquility, guests still find themselves near essential amenities: Wafi Mall is within walking distance and offers shops, restaurants and supermarkets. The metro station, just a short walk from the property, provides convenient and efficient transport links across the city, making tourist attractions and business centers easily accessible.
The area surrounding the hotel is clean and features a chic neighborhood atmosphere. Although there aren’t vibrant food streets or an abundance of entertainment options right at the doorstep, the hotel’s calm and relaxing environment is appreciated, especially by those with medical appointments or those attending conferences and workshops in the vicinity.
Additional mentions highlight the hotel's cleanliness organization and the accommodating nature of the staff, which contribute significantly to a pleasant stay. Overall, Novotel Bur Dubai stands out as an ideal lodging option for those needing a tranquil yet well-connected base in Dubai.
Breakfast
However, some reviews pointed out areas needing improvement. A few guests felt the breakfast was a bit monotonous and could benefit from a more varied offering, particularly in terms of sweet options and regional dishes. Others mentioned that the breakfast area can become crowded and chaotic during peak hours, leading to issues with cleanliness and inadequate seating.
While some found the breakfast to be of good value, others considered it pricey, especially when booked through specific packages. Despite these critiques, the overall impression is that the breakfast at Novotel Bur Dubai remains a strong point for many visitors with its wide array of options and generally high quality noted frequently.
Dinner
However, recurring feedback suggests the need for broader menu options for both lunch and dinner. Although the food quality is often good to exceptional, the variety is limited and the same dishes tend to be repeated, especially for half-board guests. Some guests mentioned that the dinner service, which is à la carte, would benefit from more diverse offerings and increased seating capacity.
Overall, while the meals are generally well-received, there is a clear call for more variety and diversity in the menu to enhance the dining experience further.
Rooms
However, the feedback isn't universally positive. Some guests found their rooms to be smaller than expected, cramped and inadequately soundproofed, leading to disturbance from outside noise. There were recurrent complaints about the cleanliness of carpets, presence of small insects and other maintenance issues like broken electric outlets, malfunctioning irons and kettles. Some rooms had an unpleasant smell or issues with bed mites and a few guests reported that the rooms were not as clean as depicted online.
Despite these downsides, the hotel's modern amenities and facilities, such as the well-maintained bathrooms and functional room setups, do cater well to short business trips and those who value a modern and clean environment. For potential guests, it might be worthwhile to set clear preferences and requests during booking to ensure the best possible experience at Novotel Bur Dubai - Healthcare City.
Beds
However, not all experiences were positive. Several guests found the beds to be smaller than expected, sometimes too narrow or uncomfortable for two people. The softness of some beds may also not be to everyone's taste, particularly for seniors or those who prefer firmer support. Pillow comfort is another area where opinions diverged; while some found them adequate, others described them as hard, sponge-like or simply not comfortable at all. The presence of bed mites and insects on rare occasions has also been reported, which seriously detracted from the comfort and cleanliness of the accommodation.
Sofa beds provided in some rooms did not fare well in reviews, often being described as unusably uncomfortable. Despite these mixed reviews, many guests still praised the comfort level of the beds, suggesting that individual preferences play a significant role in the overall perception of bed quality at Novotel Bur Dubai - Healthcare City.
Cleanliness
Several positive remarks point to crystal clean surroundings, hygienic facilities and the satisfaction of guests with thoroughly cleaned rooms and exceptional overall cleanliness. The hotel's quiet atmosphere and good amenities add to the pleasant stay with many guests noting that rooms are cleaned daily and housekeeping often meets high standards.
However, some reviews express concerns. Issues like dirty and stained carpets, insufficient bathroom hygiene, unwashed tables and the need for better cleaning in certain areas are noted. Some guests found room cleaning times inconvenient or reported that essentials like toothbrushes were missing. There were also mentions of inconsistent housekeeping with occasional unclean bed sheets and bathrooms needing more attention.
In summary, while Novotel Bur Dubai generally provides a clean and comfortable stay with attentive staff and good amenities, there are areas for improvement to ensure a consistently high standard of cleanliness throughout the hotel.

Pool
Guests frequently mention the rooftop location, which not only offers an open-air, quiet environment but also boasts city views adding a marvelous touch. Additionally, the pool comes equipped with a bar, though some reviewers noted that the pool bar and the lobby bar were closed during their visits. A potential downside mentioned is the limited operating hours with the pool closing as early as 6 pm and occasional lapses in towel availability. Overall, the rooftop pool is considered a major highlight of the hotel, providing a relaxing and enjoyable spot for guests, despite its smaller size.
Parking
Overall, although there are enough parking spaces and the facility is convenient, the constraints of narrow spaces and occasional limited availability may require some patience. The quiet location of the hotel adds a level of ease to the parking experience and the free parking is a definite plus. However, those with larger vehicles might find maneuvering through the tight spaces somewhat challenging.
Family
The hotel provides family rooms and can arrange for a room that accommodates four people. The reception staff is known to be very helpful, offering early check-in and late check-out to accommodate family needs. These services contribute to a more comfortable and enjoyable stay for families.
However, there are some areas where the hotel could improve. Some reviews mentioned that the family rooms are on the smaller side and that the superior rooms are not ideally designed for families. Additionally, the absence of a kids' club has been noted, which might limit activities for children.
Overall, Novotel Bur Dubai - Healthcare City is a clean and quiet hotel that is mostly suitable for families, particularly for short stays or for those planning to spend most of their time exploring Dubai rather than staying indoors.
4 Star
The service at the hotel frequently garners high praise with several reviews noting five-star level service and amenities, which makes it a strong contender among four-star establishments. However, some guests feel the higher pricing, especially during off-seasons, is not entirely justified when compared to other four-star hotels, suggesting it might be a bit steep. Despite this, many guests consider it to be good value for money for a stay in Dubai.
While there are a few comments indicating the hotel does not fully meet the typical Novotel standard or four-star expectations, overall, the general consensus leans positive, highlighting the hotel's modern amenities, cleanliness and exceptional service.

Business
Checking in is efficient and quick, ensuring business travelers can get to work without delay. The hotel supports a range of business services, including the ability to print documents like medical reports and hold conference events. Business lunches and a free breakfast for business clients add to the convenience.
Though there are particular drawbacks, such as the inability to charge bar expenses to the room and some expensive business services, the hotel is overall highly recommended for short business trips. It suits both business and leisure travelers, making it a versatile option for those visiting Dubai for work. The absence of valet parking is noted, but the professional service and suitable facilities can outweigh these minor inconveniences, making it a great choice for business stays.
Accessible
The reception staff is described as very welcoming and the service is regarded as good. The flexibility offered by the hotel, such as early check-ins and late check-outs, adds to the overall positive experience.
However, the hotel has room for improvement in terms of accessibility. There are limited accessible rooms and some guests have reported that it is not wheelchair accessible. Additionally, there are no accessible restrooms provided. Addressing these issues could significantly enhance the experience for guests with disabilities.
Outdoor Pool
The pool area itself is described as amazing and clean with comfortable outdoor seating and armchairs in the pool providing an additional level of comfort. Visitors highlight the charm of the rooftop terrace and the bonus of having such an inviting space at their disposal.
For those seeking relaxation, the cabanas by the pool offer a serene spot and there’s the convenience of poolside snacks. Families benefit from designated kiddy areas and a separate pool for children, ensuring that everyone can enjoy the facilities safely.
While the single outdoor pool and kids pool receive positive mentions, the rooftop pool bar stands out despite closing at 10 o'clock, providing a pleasant environment for guests. Overall, the rooftop pool area at Novotel Bur Dubai is a significant highlight, contributing to an unforgettable stay.
