Dar Dubai

The hotel was being run by a young man who had his mates round until about 3 In the morning every night, the food (when you got it) was very poor, the accommodation was below average, all in all its the worst run hotel I have ever been in, it ruined my holiday , I left earlier than expected to stay at another hotel

We booked the place via booking.com during the cop22 in Marrakech. We went there and taxi driver couldn't find the place (we later learn that's normal and you always need to have a phone and be assertive so they don't leave you somewhere). After calling the place we were relocated to Riad Dubai. That was relatively close. It was not clear whether there is no place in Dar Dubai so we were offered different accommodation or whether they rebranded. It was a bit confusing. Once we arrive to Riad Dubai we learnt that they only have one room (instead of 2 we booked) so we need to share. Don't get me wrong the room was ok place was clean and everybody was friendly but it was not what we paid for. In principle if this place was around eur 70 per room we would be very happy. However we paid almost eur 200 per night because of cop and we really had a feeling of being severely ripped of. Staff was friendly, breakfast was ok and room were clean. However, the place wasn't worth the price especially that internet didn't work in the rooms.

We booked the Dar Dubai purely on the strength of the Trip Advisor reviews, we didn't expect much given the price, but our expectations were definitely exceeded. Our room was functional & clean, (ours had air conditioning) with a very comfortable bed. The bathroom is again functional& clean towels provided. The staff are very helpful & friendly. Breakfast is the same every day but good quality. The breakfast area is open roof & it is lovely having birds fly in occasionally as you eat. The rooftop is a great place to relax. They also offer trips at a greatly reduced price than we had found online & cheaper than we found others had paid.
