The hotel's room and bathroom were impressively spacious and well-equipped, providing a cozy bed for a restful sleep; the daily housekeeping service maintained pristine conditions. The Pub on the ground floor was a favorite spot, with enjoyable happy hour moments. However, minor details like missing lightbulbs and dirty floors could use more attention 💫.

Had an amazing time at the hotel with SUPERB service from friendly staff. the poolside snack bar was a highlight. Would return, though rooms were better in photos.

I had a fantastic experience at this hotel. the room was spacious and beautifully decorated in Arabian chic style. the staff, especially Sarah, were extremely helpful and went out of their way to assist guests. the bed was incredibly comfortable, and I felt well-rested every morning. the hotel offered a free shuttle to Jumeirah Public Beach, making it convenient to explore nearby attractions.
One improvement that could be made is the variety of breakfast dishes, as they tended to be repetitive. the towels were sometimes not replaced promptly by the housekeeping staff, leading to inconvenience for guests.

At my first stay, the staff helped with sim cards. This place suits me perfectly, with Wi-Fi, late check-in, fitness studio, outdoor pool, 24-hour room service. I keep coming back for city trips.

The hotel had a great location close to the metro and shopping area, which was very convenient during my business trip. the room was very clean and comfortable, with all the amenities that I needed for my stay. the staff was very friendly and welcoming, providing great service throughout my visit.
The noise level at the hotel was quite high, which made it difficult to get a good night's sleep. the bathroom was not properly cleaned and had some rusted metal parts.

We had a great stay near the mall of the Emirates. The hotel was clean, had good facilities, and was located conveniently close to the mall. The staff was helpful and the breakfast was good.
Liked everything.

Let me tell you, the dining options at Grand Excelsior are fire! From mouthwatering salads to tantalizing local flavors, every meal was a culinary adventure. The friendly staff and convenient location also added major points to the stay!
Now, here's the tea - missing towels and a rowdy bar downstairs causing a ruckus at night left me feeling a bit shook. Oh, and let me spill the beans - a guest throwing major shade about towels at check-in?

During my transit in Dubai, I found the Grand Excelsior Hotel Al Barsha to be conveniently located, just 25 km from Dubai Creek SPB, and only a 30-minute drive from the Financial Centre. The strategic positioning made it easy for me to access the city's prime attractions and business districts, adding great value to my short stay.
Despite the excellent location and amenities of the hotel, I experienced a disappointing encounter with the night manager. His aggressive and rude behavior towards me when dealing with a minor issue left a negative impression.

Grand Excelsior Hotel Al Barsha exceeded expectations with spacious rooms, clean bathrooms, and courteous staff providing a free wheelchair for my elderly mother. Conveniently located near Mall of Emirates, the hotel offers a pleasant stay with excellent service and varied breakfast options.
Dusty room, stained towels.

My stay at Grand Excelsior Hotel Al Barsha was elevated by the exceptional staff, with special thanks to Princess, Adeel, and Sara of Guest Relations. The room was well-equipped and comfortable. The pool and gym offer relaxation, while nearby landmarks like Ski Dubai and Mall of the Emirates added to our family bonding experience. The hotel's potential shines through despite some drawbacks.

The lobby is so fancy, you feel like you're in a palace. The rooftop terrace is amazing, with a swimming pool and great views. The rooms are spacious and comfortable.
Oh, and let's not forget the delightful surprise of having no towels in my room. Just what I needed, a wet adventure trying to get some from room service.

This place is conveniently located near the places I wanted to visit. There are shops around, and it is just a short walk from the mall. The room service is available 24/7 and the car hire and dry cleaning services are also convenient. The staff is friendly and always provided excellent service. The room amenities are outstanding, and there is an outdoor swimming pool and sauna.
I would recommend this hotel to my family and friends. The staff could work on being more accommodating, but overall, they provide 24-hour service and the amenities are worth the stay.

The Grand Excelsior hotel Al Barsha provided a stunning and spacious room, with a separate sleeping area and a lounge featuring comfortable leather sofas. The overall layout ensured a quiet and relaxing atmosphere, making it perfect for unwinding after a busy day of exploring the city.
The room had a slight musty or damp smell, which was noticeable every time I entered. Although I eventually got used to it, it was a bit of a letdown considering the otherwise luxurious ambiance of the hotel.

I chose this hotel for attending a business session because it provides world class facilities, including a fully equipped business center, accessibility to executive lounge, high-tech conference rooms, and spacious banquet halls great for organizing big conferences. The finest luxury accommodation and associated amenities cater to the needs of business and leisure travelers with the blend of Unique Arabian Hospitality. The hotel's location just off Sheikh Zayed Road is convenient for business visitors.
The only service that I missed for my work was a dedicated work desk in the room.

The staff went above and beyond to make our stay special, upgrading our room and providing excellent service. The room itself was spacious, beautifully furnished, and equipped with everything we needed. The location was perfect, just a short walk from popular attractions like the Mall of the Emirates and Ski Dubai. We were thoroughly impressed with the hotel facilities and would highly recommend it to anyone. an excellent stay!
Strongly recommend this hotel.

From the rooftop terrace's stunning city views to the cozy Chinese dining experience, this hotel's blend of traditional and modern elements truly impressed me. I loved the variety of cuisine and live entertainment options. The dark wood interiors and world-class facilities added a touch of luxury to my stay. The location was convenient for both work and leisure, with easy access to major attractions. The pool table and Club Lounge were unexpected highlights. a delightful stay with a touch of elegance. My friends call me a dessert connoisseur.

The location, just a 10-minute walk from Mall of Emirates, was convenient. the rooms were well-presented and comfortable.
Rooms lack soundproofing, and noise can be disruptive. Housekeeping could be improved.

the staff provided excellent customer service, going above and beyond to meet our needs. They quickly changed our room when we requested a quieter one, ensuring a peaceful night's sleep. the spacious deluxe room was fantastic, with a great bathroom and no adjoining rooms for added privacy. the room was also cleaned daily, a service that was lacking during our previous stay. the buffet breakfast offered a good selection, including fresh fruit salad and made-to-order eggs. our experience was unforgettable and we would highly recommend this hotel to others.
No 🐪 parking available, causing traffic congestion at the entrance.

We had a luxurious stay at a hotel in Al Barsha. the service provided by the staff was incredibly friendly and the hotel itself was spotlessly clean. Our room was spacious, as was the bathroom. the location of the hotel was convenient, as it was within walking distance of the Mall of the Emirates and the corresponding metro stop. we did have to navigate some construction on the way to the mall, as the sidewalks were still being built. the pub downstairs had a nice ambiance, except on Tuesday nights when they held karaoke, which isn't really our thing. we were impressed with our experience at Grand Excelsior Hotel Al Barsha.
Nothing to dislike. 😊

The rooms were so fancy, with marble bathrooms that felt like a luxurious spa retreat. The walk-in shower and plush bathtub were perfect for relaxing after a long day of adventures. The contemporary furnishings felt so cozy and welcoming.
I personally found the bidet a bit unnecessary, but I'm sure some guests might appreciate the extra touch.

I adored the elegant, traditional decor of the lobby and common areas, with its comfortable seating and classic furnishings. My dear, it was perfect for a lovely afternoon chat with new friends. Additionally, the hotel's convenient location just off Sheikh Zayed Road made it effortless for us seniors to explore neighboring Abu Dhabi and near Dubai commercial districts, not to mention the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre.
The only thing I would suggest for a better stay for us senior folk is that the children of the staff could provide clearer signage for the hotel's facilities and amenities, making it easier for us to navigate during our vacation.

The hotel is conveniently located near taxi stands and everything you need. The room was spacious and the bathroom was clean. Breakfast wasn't the most varied but did the job. The staff were very helpful and attentive to our needs. the hotel features great facilities like a nice pool and lounge area.
Some staff members could be more professional, as they seemed indifferent towards guests' problems.

The reception manager was amazing, resolving my room key issue promptly. The staff was always considerate and smiling. The room exceeded my expectations, spacious and clean with a comfortable double family bed. The business table and chair were perfect for working on my laptop. The extra amenities like the sofa, dining table, and power sockets were convenient. Quick cleaning and maintenance support. The bathroom was large and clean, with a big bathtub and clean towels. The TV had a good selection of channels. The receptionist made check-in and check-out easy, and they provided extra keys for my guests. The food was affordable and had a traditional taste. Complimentary water, tea, and coffee were provided. a clean and quiet hotel. Would recommend for a stress-free stay.

At this hotel, the rooftop terrace with a temperature-controlled swimming pool offers stunning views over the city. I felt like I was swimming in the clouds, surrounded by the impressive Dubai skyline. The fully equipped gym and the relaxing massage and treatment rooms added an extra touch of luxury to my stay.
Towels weren't provided promptly.
