Donatello Hotel

All the staff and resturant people were extremely supportive and warm and went above and beyond to help us through our stay, i would highly recommend this hotel and definitely stay again on my next trip to Dubai, special mention to Prateek who was very accommodative and warm during breakfasts, and Kareem who ensure we dint have to worry about anything, kudos you guys, keep up the great work!

It was a realy good stay, will be back next year for sure

This is a pleasant hotel in an older section of the city. There are local flavor resturants walking distance from the hotel. The onsite resturants are lacking. The hotel rooms do not have heat ( its the desert) but the AC is over powering in the winter months. Keeping the system off is not a good option due to air quality.

The room was fine and spacious. The stuff was also very nice, helpfull and polite. The problem was the constant noise from the aircondition mashines outside our room. Room 204. A constant noise, also during the night when we were trying to sleep. Another problem has also to do with noise during the night. And that was from the party at the bar at the ground floor. Yes we could hear it every day at the second floor! Something else was that the windows in our room could not open. So we could not refresh the air in our room.

The size of the room was acceptable but the default for 3 adults was a king bed, they provided a portable bed free of charge which improved the situation. The mattress of the portable bed was in terrible shape and had huge stains on it. They accepted to replace it. While we booked the room for 3 people, the glasses, coffee mugs and towels were provided for 2 people and we needed to constantly remind the staff. In more than one instance the "clean" towels had stains on them. They did not provide conditioner and body lotion was not there either. Breakfast buffet was very limited and not with many healthy options.

No complains. The breakfast is fine.

The room absolute stank of cigarettes on the “non smoking floor” and they couldn’t move me or do anything about it. The pool side service was non existent and no menus etc. The staff weren’t friendly and the amenities just seemed run down

The rooms were very spacious. Like an apartment. The first floor is very noisy due to the bar. But the reception warned me ahead. She gave me free upgraded room. Breakfast was OK. The guest services are amazing. Very polite, helpful and on time.

I never use the restaurant service, because there is a restaurant very close bye that i love it. maybe next time I will try

Hotel has a very good location Shop and food around hotel which are opened late so you don't have to move far to grab some food Hotel is clean and rooms are big and comfortable. Only problem is that hotel doesn't say that it's also a long bar with very loud music in the evening until late in the night Unfortunately loud music and bass can be heard in your bed. Sometimes I surprised myself singing some of their songs

⭐☆☆☆☆ Very disappointing stay — poor management + cleanliness issues throughout. I rarely leave negative reviews, but this hotel stay was truly disappointing + far below expectations. The management of the hotel is extremely poor; the property needs a lot more attention to cleanliness and maintenance. Room: My room smelled of smoke, + the windows, sills, curtains were covered in a layer of dust and dirt. Room smelt damp, + the air conditioning was noisy. The bathroom tiling needs repair + the bath itself had a grimy film at the drain end, which clearly hasn’t been cleaned properly due to the fixed shower screen making access difficult. Amenities: Towels are old + completely lacking in softness. Pillows were among the worst I’ve encountered — cheap foam, no 'give'. When I requested a feather pillow, I was given a small, damp, lumpy pillow in an oversized pillowcase. Housekeeping: Service was inconsistent + poorly managed. Housekeeping staff came to my room to take the bathroom scales for another guest (!) — despite my objections — and I didn’t get them back until 4 days later, after repeatedly asking. The corridors were also in need of a proper vacuum. Facilities: Rooftop area + gym: really dirty and poorly maintained. Tables/chairs covered in grime. Spa staff sleep overnight in treatment rooms -is this legal?! Overall: The staff were friendly and polite, but clearly poorly managed and unsupported. This hotel desperately needs leadership, training, and proper cleaning systems!

They gave me room number 107 The worst room ever! Next to night club and laundry ! Very noisy

My original room was too noisy, had to put noise cancelling headphones to sleep. They didn’t cancel my second night per request and offered me another room which was quite but had cracked bathtub, mold in bathroom and cracked countertop.

Staff was very slowly to fix any problem

No hot water in shower or sink

Th staff. Mr Ali the manager and ms

On the positives, a nice large room with good bathroom. Nice breakfast choice, tasty and again, friendly and helpful staff. Able to order additional items such as omelettes but this was not mentioned and only knew as I saw staff walking out the kitchen with food orders. On the downside, the bathroom needed a bit of TLC, the toilet seat was loose and moved as one bolt was missing. The hot water is a manual system, you need to turn it on and wait some minutes to get hot. Not ideal if you are in a rush in the morning. So you leave it on all night, which is not ecofriendly. And when it was hot, the flow was much reduced to a slow trickle. The gym had lots of equipment, but lots of items not working. 3 of the 4 treadmills were out of order. Luckily when I went the one working was free. Also, no water machine or towles and only tissues avaialble to clean the equipment after. However, I got what I needed from it, as only user each time. On the last night the people in the adjacent room had a party that went on all night, full volume Indian tunes waking me at 1:30, 3 and then 5 but as I was going I let them get on with it. Not the hotels fault, but I wonder if anybody else complained and if so, what they would have done about it. Overall good stay, I would consider staying there again.

Best hotel ever

Property and its amenities are somewhat dated but location is good and staff are helpful

Property seems good but morning breakfast should not take there.
