Hotel very nice. On Sheik Al Zayed Road, which means a short taxi ride from anywhere in Dubai - the max we ever paid was £5. Pool on top of car park - small but perfectly formed. Food excellent, and they did themed nights were you paid about £18 and got unlimited food and alchol - very nice. Rooms excellent. We liked Dubai, but did find the treatment of women was upsetting. However, if you are comfortable with the seeing local women covered from head to toe in black (including gloves) in the searing heat, western women not wearing this will only get strange looks. Racism is also very bad - Indians and Packistanis make up the majority of the population but are treated awefully. We hired our own desert dune buggies which was great (though £110 for two of us, but worth it). Desert safaris and dune bashing great. And you have to go skiing in the Emirates Mall, just to say you have done it! Would come back to this hotel if we were coming back to Dubai, but dont think my morals can stand the place again.

If you've stayed in 4 or 5 star South East Asian (HK, Bangkok, Phuket etc) hotels this will be a let down.
Bedrooms are large, but smell of stale smoke, as does much of the hotel. Housekeeping doesn't appear till you ring and chase them, this was after 4 o'clock mind, not in the morning!

Breakfast buffet good, but very pricey.

Location not brilliant, on a huge highway and you'd better like what's on your side of the Sheik Zayed Highway or you'll have to get a cab to take you to the other side!!!! If you're lucky enough to hail one with a driver who has been in Dubai for more than two days and actually knows where ANYTHING is that is!

What ever you do use the safe, had trouble using ours and thought all would be ok, how wrong I was, turned out the housekeeping staff are thieving little [--------].
Have stayed in this property of previous occasions and could never fault the place. How sad all that's changed.
If your thinking of booking this hotel I would seriously advise against it. I certainly wont be returning.

My friend and I stayed at the Towers Rotana for 3 nights in February and had a great stay! After a tiring overnight flight we arrived at the hotel early in the morning but our first night booked wasn't until that evening, so we decided to book a room just to get our heads down for a few hours before 'hitting the town'! The staff were happy to oblige and because there was a slight mix-up over the key, we weren't charged for this. The staff were extremely attentive and friendly and the breakfast was first class. This hotel also has the advantage of a smart restaurant (Teatro) and the excellent Long's bar (superb bar meals!) on site. The rooms were clean and comfortable, with great views and I would certainly stay there again.
