Excellent location. Excellent room and service. The view from the room on the waterfront was absolutely amazing. Excellent access to downtown Dubai.

"Fantastic stay."

2026-02-25

First time visit to Dubai and was really unsure where to stay. Well this was a great choice believe me. Arrived early at 9am and was really pleased that we could get straight into the room. Check in was easy and efficient. Had a room on the 12th floor with view over the Dubai canal. Used the free shuttle to take us down to the Dubai Mall to catch the Metro, just be warned it's a good 20 min walk from drop off to metro though. Room was big and clean with large TV. Breakfast was top quality buffet and very helpfull friendly staff. You will never go hungry here, so much choice and variety. Top marks to everyone who works in there. Swimming pool is nice with sunbeds and shade and was nice to sit out their after breakfast before we went out. Spa is also located on same floor. Taxis galore available out the front but we always used Uber which were always quick to arrive. Check out the FIrelake restaurant , I have done a separate review. Let's just say go and dine there it was fantastic. Taxis are really good value, the Metro takes you everywhere but was very busy and crammed full. Next time we will just use taxis. Loved Dubai and loved the Radisson Blu Waterside. We will defiantly return and can't give it a greater recommendation than that.

"Fabulous!"

2026-02-25

We loved our stay here. It’s perhaps not the best location for a holiday but the hotel is just a short cab ride from the Mall (£5). We spent a few afternoons at the pool which were lovely. The lifeguards worked tirelessly keeping the pool area spotless and ensuring our sun loungers were in the best position to enjoy the sun! The business lounge was a lovely VIP perk and we enjoyed a few glasses of wine eventually evening Breakfast was also delicious Room - 1 bed suite with huge bathroom, additional toilet, living room and massive bedroom with king bed. We even had a small balcony. Most importantly it was so so quiet. I think we will be back!

Exceptional hotel. Great location. Staff very friendly and helpful. Very close to burj Khalifa short ride by taxi. Mini supermarket near by for any snacks or other needs. Many restaurants near by the hotel. Good views.
