Horrible service nul
Pros:

le personnel à l'entrée de l'hotel dehors pour les bagages et trouver un taxi très gentils

Cons:

Horrible, il ya eu des petits cafards dans notre chambre, nous avons appelé la reception et ils n'étaient pas compréhensible avec nous, la seule réponse c'est "nous avons jamais ce genre de probleme c'est la premiere fois, c'est peut etre a cause du balcon" franchement nous sommes arrivés tard dans notre chambre, nous sommes fatigués, on s'apprête à dormir c'est pas le genre de réponse et de traitement qu'on attend et quand on reste sur nos positions c'est le personnel qui se braque loool
On a demandé une autre chambre et heureusement on a pu changé c'était une chambre standard plus petit avec un troisieme lit mais cette chambre était bien meilleur que ce qu'on a eu en 1er.
Il n'y a eu AUCUNE COMPENSATION Financiere de leur part à part une lettre d'excuse et de nous offrir UN petit dej LOL (que j'ai refusé) ça ne vaut pas le prix de la chambre reservé ! Et un harcelement le lendemain pour nous demandé de changer de chambre encore une fois, pour 2 nuits je ne vais pas faire 3 chambres différentes. Aucun professionalisme je reste choquée du manager à qui nous avons parlé qui minimise tout à 2h du mat. Après il faut repassé à la reception, pour re expliqué j'ai pas le temps, j'ai un programme chargé je ne vais pas perdre mon temps à l'hotel pour ça
Avant ce grand soucis, nous avons signalé l'odeur de cigarette pareil on nous dit "ah bon, non y a rien" jamais à l'écoute.
Nous avions booké une chambre avec vue sur le burj, j'ai bien redemandé à la reception et au final on nous a mis devant une autoroute et on nous a affirmé que c'était ça la vue, alors que lors du changement dans la chambre plus petite nous avons bien eu la vue comme décrit sur booking lol
Pour continuer les comparaisons des deux chambres nous avons payé une chambre avec un lit double + canapé lit, le canapé lit en question était tellement bancale, il grince, un matelas tout fin.

Overally, we were 4 couples and we enjoyed our stay.
Pros:

The meals were excellent
Cheerful and committed working stuff including the front desk

Cons:

The bad response we got from yacinge oufriche (TFG) when we wanted to extend our stay due to the Gulf disturbances.
We had come through the package hence the reason we needed her assistance.

The bad smell form the gullies around the small swimming pool and the outside bar areas.

Skany, więcej tam nie wrócę
Pros:

Miły personel sprzątający , dobre jedzenie w restauracji arabskiej

Cons:

Otrzymałam inne pokoje (3) niż rezerwowałam ( gorszej kategorii- bez widoku na basen, obok autostrady co sprawiało że było bardzo głośno i ciężko spać w nocy, basen w rzeczywistości wygląda dużo gorzej niż na zdjęciach, na początku jedzenie na kolacje było bardzo kiepskie i mały wybór, kiedy były kolacje iftarowe było bez zarzutu. Inne pokoje nuż była rezerwacja otrzymało wielu gości Wymuszanie opinii przez obsługę w restauracji jednocześnie zaglądając w ekran co jest pisane i to jest powodem , że hotel na tak dużo dobrych opinii.

Pros:

We rate this stay 10/10. The room was clean and spacious, with a comfortable bed. Breakfast offered a wide variety of food, including local and international options. There was plenty of space to sit either indoors or outdoors, where you can enjoy your meal with a skyline view and pleasant weather. If you book your stay with dinner included, a big benefit is that you can dine in all restaurants within the hotel, as well as in other hotels and restaurants across the city that are part of The First Group (the receptionist will inform you about this option). The staff in the hotel restaurants and bars were very kind and professional. The hotel has a very good location, about a 40 minute walk to the Burj Khalifa. Another great benefit is the shuttle bus service, which can take you, for example, to Dubai Mall or Soluna Beach at Palm Jumeirah, where you have free access if you are staying at The First Collection Business Bay hotel. The receptionist provides information about the bus schedule. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The First Collection Business Bay at a fair price with excellent benefits. Thank you!

Cons:

There are some birds flying around during breakfast. This is not an issue unless you leave your food on the table and, for example, go to get something else. The birds take the opportunity to jump onto your plate. When eating outside in the morning, make sure that someone always stays at the table.

Pros:

Parkimine ja parkimiskorraldus. oli äärmiselt hästi organiseeritud. Auto pargiti Sinu eest ja toodi ka parklast ukse ette kohe kui seda vaja. Hotell oli puhas ja hommikusöök oli äärmiselt rikkalik. Hotellis on mitmeid baare ja söögikohti.
