Additionally my room faced a new construction site, making it extremely unpleasant to look out the window especially when I thought I was getting a view of the Burj and not a tiny sliver of it.

The view from the very dusty glass facade in the room is clouded by Dubai's construction sites.

If you're choosing the Taj Dubai for the view of the Burj Khalifa, then you may be disappointed when you see that it's obstructed by all the construction that is going on around that area.

although there was construction at the entrance that gave a bad first impression.

The only draw back is that it is not really walking distance to much - not the hotel's fault - it is a big city, with long blocks and lots of construction.

As usual in Dubai, there are construction work on going and a part of this nice view will change a bit.

however, we saw construction and dirt and no city.

You would have to cross some major roads and or go through construction so we had to take Taxis.

It was a pity that there were constructions all around, making the outdoor area seem messy.

My only complaint was that despite its close proximity to the burj khalifa, fountain, and opera it was difficult to walk there due to highways and construction (but that is very typical of Dubai).

They charge more for a Burj view room (unfortunately, the only alternative is a construction view).

but check construction noise across street.If problem, will switch rooms if avail.Ask for other side,not higher up.Dubai’s construction is skyscrapers;  higher won’t help.

New construction partially blocked my view of the fountain show

Possiblilities for kids were limited, a lot of construction is going on opposite the hotel (of course the hotel cannot do anything about this), the bar is very noisy and took all night long (i stopped hearing music at 6am).

Unfortunately we were given a room with awful views over a construction site!

A little tricky to find with all the construction

for someone from thirsty California it’s baffling to see a construction and population boom in the desert.

Close by, there's a construction site, that is affecting the view during the day,

You should note that Dubai is in constant construction so you will see cranes.

The hotel is very convenient to Dubai Opera, the mall and parks surrounding Burj Khalifa.

The location is also perfect as it is only a short stroll to Dubai Opera and the fountains in front of Burj Khalifa.

Well done to everyone and thank you for making our weekend at the Dubai Opera complete.

If you’re going to the Dubai Opera House, the Taj Dubai is a great place to stay.

My husband and I stayed here for an evening as we were seeing a show in the Dubai Opera.

walk straight cross at Ist light signal and continue walking straight to Dubai opera and it takes you some construction area nearby ..cross the road and hotel is in front of you ..very safe to walk back even at night 11oclock ..may be very lighted up due to Ramadan festivity .

With iconic landmarks like Dubai Opera and The Dubai Fountain in close proximity, Dubai's glitzy  nightlife is a stone’s throw away.

Bombay Brasserie is the best Indian restaurant in Dubai and the breakfast is excellent.

Whether allowing us a complimentary early check-in or the excellent concierge service that booked Burj Al Arab tour for us in moment's notice, whether the bubble bath they arranged for my child or the excellent in-house discounts they offered for dinner at arguably the finest Indian dining establishment in the city - I cannot adequately express how impressed and touched we were by Taj Dubai staff.

Over the years, I have become familiar with and really enjoy South Indian cuisine.

rooms are good, food is very good, specially indian food is availiable.

If you can, try to find Somya, a excellent waitress that will make you into de Indian food, all you need is to ask for the Indian experience.

The hotel offers a wide variety of cuisines and their Indian cuisine is to die for.

I would strongly recommend anyone & everyone visiting Dubai, specially who loves Indian food , should stay @ TAJ DUBAI.

Breakfast is excellent while Indian food is average.

We had a marvellous stay for 4 days among the best of staff be it at the Breakfast & Indian Dinner restaurant specially Sachin, saddeqe, Rohit, Sardarji’s at the gate , it was their ‘ service above self’ at every time

The South Indian cuisine served at break fast was great & 
mouth watering ,specially at a 5 *property at Dubai .

Comfortable room, lovely breakfast buffet and ate Bombay Brasserie for an excellent Indian dinner.

There are plenty of restaurants to eat in from Indian to Asian street-food cuisine and there are great views of the city from the rooms.

Maria is the best employee really she helped us a lot wi the everything when we asking about anything she is going on same time and perfect thanks a lot Maria hotel service amazing and we like the food Indian

The food & service in every restaurant is excellent, there are so many offerings, Miss Tess is an Amazing Asian , Bombay Braserie is an incredible Indian restaurant and the Truffle Prawns in the must visit“Treehouse” are a complete wow!!

Nice and clean hotel also Indian restaurant is very tasty and delicious thanks for all staff who work in this hotel , fast response from staff and staff are amazing and friendly, Excellent staff and so professional service Thank you and have a nice day

Main restaurant is really good and so is the Indian restaurant.

The hotel is located close to downtown dubai and also provides a shuttle bus to and from dubai mall.

The change I paid keeping in mind about facility and it’s proximity to Burj Khalifa and dubai mall.

Fabulous location close to Burke khalifa and shopping mall with free regular bus transfer.

Breakfast very good, other restaurants good, if a little pricey, 
Pool an Spa great 
The Eloquent Elephant bar was good for drinks,
The restaurant supervisor Shekhar Harkonker was so welcoming and helpful, so extra special 5 star mention for him
Shuttle bus to Dubai mall every hour, we used every day.

The location was perfect and very close to Dubai Mall.

Very near to Burj Khalifa & Dubai Mall and Shaikh Zayad Road. ..

Everything was fantastic and the location overlooking the Burj and for shopping at the world famous mall is very convenient.

Absolutely beautiful hotel, great staff service and in a perfect location close to Dubai mall.

the shuttle service that runs every 15 minutes from Taj to Dubai mall was a bonus .

Hotel is located very conveniently close to Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall.

Amazing bedrooms and lovely views of Dubai Mall fountain.

To and fro shuttle service for Dubai mall was an appreciable effort adding to the hospitality.

Hotel is located in a nice location close to Dubai Mall.

Perfect location in close proximity of Dubai Mall and loads of restaurants, perfect ambience, perfect service, super food , extremely courteous personnel.

Much appreciated the close proximity to the Burj khalifa, dubai mall nd other places.

Great location near Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall.

Excellent experience - right from accomodating our early check in request to serving with smiles, Taj team made our stay memorable, family room was perfect to accommodate 3 adults with all modern amenities - key advantage  - it is close to Burj Khalifa n free shuttle service is available for visit to Dubai Mall - spoilt us with choices in Breakfast - if ever we visit Dubai again will stay at Taj only - once again thanks to Taj Team for their excellent service

The hotel is 5 minutes away from Dubai Mall and very conveniently located.

It’s a wonderful property well located in the vicinity of Burj Khalifa, Dubai mall and metro stations.

Taj never disappoints you…

Fantastic hotel, great location with fantastic staff and service.

The shuttle service to the Dubai Mall has always been on time and the driver was very nice.

We are now considering a longer stay because we love the food (We ate at Tesoro restaurant for breakfast and the Eloquent Elephant for dinner), and the service is exceptionally good.

I stayed in this excellent property, state of the art services and very very courteous staff.

It’s a wonderful stay , we loved it a lot .. my kids did it want to leave the hotel because they were so happy … my god .. the service the welcoming the everything is perfectly wonderful….

Taj Dubai is an excellent business hotel - comfortable, really well located and really top service.

lovely to chat to and ask about culture, excellent service.

We had a great service, the staff were very friendly and helpful.

As well as the laundry service and the very kind and helpful concierge service to organize taxis etc.

Exceptional quality of service, care and hospitality.

Every time I stay at Taj Dubai I get great service by all the employees.

It was a great vacation in a wonderful hotel with awesome service and staff and fantastic city views.

The service was above and beyond, and we’re particularly grateful to the reception staff and concierge who accommodated us with a (very) early check-in, and also some last-minute laundry on the night of our departure.

Clean, quiet rooms supplemented by a beautiful pool area, lounge and restaurants, We were specially pleased with services from Fawad (Transport & Lobby in-charge) who took care of all our transport needs - car rental, airport taxi, shuttle service.

Helpful guest service and concierge desk and they helped us to book for very nice restaurants in Dubai.

Beautiful hotel, perfect location to explore some of the must see sights of Dubai, good breakfast with a variety of options and impeccable service.

A special thanks to Shiv for the great service.

It was a wonderful experience all the managers and senior team members were wonderful , importantly front facing team of  harpal and gurvinder at the gate and saumya jha , puja and pooja were great at resturant

He definitely made our experience even better and hope to see him again next year.

Thank you for hospitality maria good hotel and team are very helpful and welcomed wr will come again with family very soon ,,,,,,,,,

I'm grateful for their hospitality and would highly recommend this location!

I especially loved walking into the gorgeous lobby daily where I never tired of being greeted with the scent of Jasmine, flowers, and incense - an aromatherapy experience before I even hit the spa!

My little one was quite happy with the experience.

The overall experience has been very very good.

Great Experience right from check in to check out.

Also the entire team is excellent In offering hospitality.

Shiv has done an excellent job all round he is very detailed in all aspects, he is polite, patient and respectful.

However, what impressed us the most was the hospitality of the staff and their willingness to assist.

We had an amazing experience here at taj dubai..

It's a true sample of excellent hospitality.

Only negative were that the bath is quite small plus the wifi not great - other than that, it was a fabulous stay and we'll be back.

- The shower is either very cold or very hot i struggled every time i wanted to take a shower.

but let down by a shower room that you cant find (its hidden behind the towel rail), poor breakfast selection, expensive for a beer.

I was very unimpressed with the shower in the room.

Just one request - pls put a door on the bathrooms.

Unfortunately, the bathroom as a whole did not meet our expectations at all.

noisy, dirty, service is slow and bad.. bathrooms were leaking.. shower  is beyond ridiculous.

The bathroom was leaking to the whole room and carpet.

Water from showers flows everywhere in the bathrooms.

but were adjacent to each other, room smaller than expected, biggest disappointment was shower -and toilet especially - had a flimsy frosted glass door with a gap when closed and no locks on doors, bathroom no door at all.

Perhaps finding a better TV option and making the toilet more private could be an option.

Arrived on business, Tired rooms and stained carpet, sink blocked, wifi weak.

the Shower and toilet are behind a door -

Very bad choice for families also room service was really slow for very simple ask like water or soap.

Very easy excess to Dubai mall.Just that shower is very small  and open no privacy n if u wanna take shower it's very small even for one person

Quite dislike the room interior as cubicle for bathtub shower is an opened concept, thus no privacy.

But I would have appreciated a phone message with a warning before stepping into a cold shower.

The location is perfect, close to Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall
The staff was extremely kind and helpful.

but this time I was surprised its same as 5 star, very comfortable, walking distance to Burj Khalifa and fountains.

Located near Burj Khalifa, you can go to Dubai Mall walking (except on very sunny days!).

As well good location near by Burj Khalifa and the Fountains.

They are indeed spectacular and very generous..the ambiance is perfect; near to burj khalifa; food is fantastic and awesome.

Very good location in the near of Burj Khalifa, Dubai mall, Aquarium and Waterzoo and Dubai Fountain.

Nice location near Burj khalifa the hotel is simple

Awesome stay best of the best location near to the burj Khalifa very nice environments in the hotel all staff very friendly specially thanks to miss jenifir and one of  housekeeping supervisor abbas and room cleaner bijin.

Nice hotel in downtown Dubai, near Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall.

The location is near burj khalifa, so it is easy to go and visit burj khalifa by foot.

Nice and modern style hotel, we received the best welcoming and staying services thanks to Daphne, we felt like home, also close to burj khalifa and dubai mall, walking distance, good restaurants surrounding the hotel, highly recommended 👍🏽

The hotel is perfect located close to Burj Khalifa.

Centrally located hotel, very close to the Burj Khalifa and Dubai mall.

it’s very near to the burj Khalifa and Dubai mall.

The hotel is very close to the Burj Khalifa and other must see places.

Nice location in the center of Dubai near Burj Khalifa and the fountains and Dubai Mall.

Excellent hotel, especially the restaurant 3 in1(Mr. sohom) was an excellent server, it’s location very attractive close to Burj Khalifa and Dubai mall, I do recommend it .

Located so close to the Burj Khalifa yet small enough to have a Boutique feel.

The hotel is strategically located a walking distance from Burj Khalifa and the Dubai Mall.

Room cleanliness was poor, I noticed doors were open and any one can wander in from the outside.

but instead next door to a karaoke night club.

insulated to prevent sound passing through the door .

The room next door had smokers and that i could smell at bed time.

It is now 15:30, the "clean room" sign on door and I need to shower and pack before dinner.

Secondly, the balcony door was leaking sound.

The only comment is the bathroom layout where the toilet room door is glass and has an opening on the side without a look and is directly in the room making it lacks privacy.

There was a real estate company with staff next to the elevator

Also one day housekeeping left the door to my room open.

Toilet door doesn't actually close shut, just sort of swings so that it meets the wall.

This hotel design is not to everyone's liking as no door to bathroom.

however, the tub was located right beside the sink -- no doors meant that, to use it, one would need to wear bathing clothes.

Paper thin walls could hear tv  and music from room next door and outside loud cars passing by during night.

Location is very good only the open bathroom to the room and the sink that spread water all over the floor and to the room since there is no door..!! !

but the outdoor employees are bot welcoming or assisting and tge front door decoration are bot proper or nice , rooms small and no privacy if you have other pearson pluse the the sink and the water pipe are not matched, i disnt like the stares in the shower , no bubbles bath near tge bathtop

The toilet is separated from the rest of the bathroom by the room main door!!!

the room are average and not done well, it is in the placed in the sleeping area without a good door, that is so unhygienic.I expected better

Toilet is located separate from the bathroom and just beside the bed After showering the water goes out to the room as there is no door nor proper drainage Room atmosphere is not nice at all Room service takes too long And luggage pick up takes too long too

The location of the hotel is perfect in the heart of Downtown close to Dubai Mall and Dubai opera.

Excellent location adjacent to Dubai Mall and a short walk to the Dubai Opera.

Wonderful location to major attractions, Dubai Mall, Burj Khalifa, Dubai Fountain and Dubai Opera all within a 10 minute walk.

Very good service and friendly staff

Exceptional welcome and staff to take care of you, affordable and cool boutique hotel highly recommended, good food and service, rooms are modern and clean, staff are friendly and very efficient.. perfect location for business

The bathroom furnishings were of extremely poor quality.

Food was hardly acceptable , hot dishes choice was poor .

Price is definitely too high for this poor service.

My only remark is that the mini bar is poor: I would have liked to have sparkling and more bottles of still water .

but noisy , if u need to sleep in day time take room on the Otherside since the sound proofing at the balkoni is poor.

Very poor as we were purchasing a number of tea's coffee's during out meeting, a tad embarrassing also.

.. Gordon Ramsay’s restaurants - very, very sorry - it was disaster and poor quality food and service at all of his 3 restaurants at this location in France) and to come home and find that in Dubai we have better quality French food and is at Vida hotel. .

The closet door fell down on my mom due to the poor quality.

Amazing service special mr sajjad  he help a lot and a professional way to manage the clarinet and food is very good and location is amazing and all staff is good and helpful congratulations for this team as wonderful team will be a an excellent service
