Thank you, Ahmed from Reception, for making our stay so comfortable! He not only helped us with a great room but also informed us about the Pele Pool Bar offer, which we enjoyed. His kindness made all the difference."

We liked so many things - 1) The location - across from the Metro, bus station to Abu Dhabi and next to huge beautiful global explorer theme Ibn Batuta shopping mall. 2) The excellent cooked breakfast buffet included in room payment which had such high quality ingredients and courteous staff, from cooks to cleaners & security 3) The gorgeous swimming pool with complimentary towels and padded loungers, ambient pool temperature, courteous catering and life guard staff and marvellous views 4) The lobby, with newspapers and magazibes, courteous staff hotel WiFi and complimentary boarding pass printing

That we had yo go home!

I stayed at Avani Ibn Battuta Dubai Hotel from January 16th to 19th, 2025. While my experience started off with some frustration, the incredible staff completely turned it around and made my stay memorable. Before arriving, I sent two messages via Booking.com on separate occasions and one through Avani's website, but unfortunately, I never received a reply. This lack of communication was disappointing. Additionally, finding the hotel using Garmin GPS and Google Maps was a bit tricky and confusing. However, my frustrations melted away the moment I reached the hotel at around 10 pm. The warm welcome from the staff truly made my day. The gentleman in the black suit standing outside greeted us with a kind smile, Mahmoud took our bags cheerfully, and Shoaib at the front desk, along with his Sri Lankan trainee, completely shifted my perception of Avani. Shoaib was professional, friendly, and accommodating—he truly felt like Avani’s ambassador. During my three-day stay, I consistently noticed the same welcoming and smiling attitude from all staff members. The breakfast team deserves a special mention for their efficiency in clearing plates, their attentiveness, and their constant positivity. Room Quality: The rooms were clean, tidy, and well-maintained, with room service doing an excellent job. Facilities: Parking, internet, pool, and gym were all available and easily accessible. One of the standout aspects of this hotel is its convenient location. Having Ibn Battuta Mall at the back for last-minute shopping was a huge plus, and the Ibn Battuta metro station right in front of the hotel made getting around Dubai effortless. In conclusion, despite some initial hiccups, my stay at Avani Ibn Battuta Dubai Hotel was a great choice. The staff, especially Shoaib, turned what could have been an average experience into an excellent one. Thank you, Avani team, for your hospitality!

Breakfast Buffet: While the inclusion of special Indian dishes was nice, it felt like the options catered more to one group rather than the diverse mix of guests (Arabs, Asians, Europeans, and Americans). The dining area near the pool could benefit from having its access door relocated. It was windy during our stay, and the constant traffic through the central door disrupted our meal, forcing us to move our table. A different entry point might help.

Hotel is next to a big mall, metro station, main bus stop for AbuDhabi / airport and Dubai city lines also next to a carrefour supermarket. Clean, airy and good sized rooms and bright shared areas with big pool. Facilities we used; - poolside breakfast was a good value for the price, classic continental- not too fancy or nothing traditional on the day we had. - free return shuttle to Kite beach, 3-4 times a day. Main thing made our stay definitely great was staff and their kindness. Team was beyond amazing! They made everything so smooth, easy and also fun! Famara from reception; he was great with clear and friendly communication and was fixing issues without we even ask for, we also enjoyed his smiles and kindness each day! Reception/porter who run with us to airport shuttle and helped my luggage last minute (he saved the day- we made it to concert), lady trainee gave us many nice tips about the city and was super friendly and helpful that we loved seeing all of them at the desk every time. From housekeeping to engineering (nice gentleman helped me trying to fix my luggage) to porters, everyone we met were so nice, so kind and made us feel safe and comfortable all the time. Already suggested this hotel to Dubai friends if they want to host their families in the future. PS about location; as first time Dubai visitors, and frequent international travelers, we were in the city for 4/5 days for Coldplay concert so we specifically looked for easy connections to Dubai center, AbuDhabi airport so this location delivered everything we wanted at the door. Metro trip to Burj Khalifa takes about half an hourish, Dubai Marina area, Palm and beachside 1-2 stops and its like every 5 minutes. After midnight we used uber/careem and about 20min driving tops from DIFC area (many nice restaurants were here).

Cold :) No heating option but was provided comfy blankets. Winter visitors, so we weren’t used to AC being on winter throughout to country and felt a bit chilly during the night in everywhere not just in hotel. After seeing how nice was the rest of the staff Shuttle driver could use some more friendly approach but generally trip was okay.

Breakfast was basic and didn’t vary much each day.

Any time I was by poolside the bar never seemed to be staffed until late in afternoon.

Our stay in Avani Ibn Battuta was great. Our check-in process went smoothly as Ms. Paru has explained everything to us and has given us assurance for any assistance that we will need during our week long stay. The room service or cleaning that they do everyday was very consistent. They don’t hold back on the cleanliness, fresh sheets and towels. Super loved the toiletries too! Check-out process was quick and smooth assisted by Mr. Famara. All in all, staying in Avani Ibn Battuta is highly recommended and we will definitely go back. (Ps-location was top tier)

The only thing is we can hear the other room whenever their conversation is too loud or kids screaming/crying.

I stayed with my daughter and the hotel is great, from clean room with drinking water every day, great breakfasts, swimming pool, free transport to Kite Beach and helpful staff. The most important thing for us was the great location to easy explore Dubai (Metro and bus). We came with the plane in Abu Dhabi, and there was dircet bus transport to Ibn Battut bus station, direct to the hotel. Beside the hotel is the Battuta Mall, with everything you need from clothes to restaurants to huge supermarket. So we had everything with the hotel for great holiday and to enjoy in Dubai.

N/A

Very nice room, modern carpets, the perfumed smell inside, having shower and bath tube in the same room, the mattress of the bed very good for my back, separately the toilet and the bath and the sink with the selves for cosmetics, everyday cleaning and changing of towels, and completely recharge of tea and sugar and milk bar. Very well placed, you have one of the beautiful Mall of Dubai (Avani Battuta Mall) exactly near, with court food and Carrefour and many shops, in front of the hotel taxi station, bus station (going to Abu Dhabi and airport), and metro station.

From my point of view, I haven't bad comments.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Avani Ibn Battuta Hotel and it was truly a delightful experience from start to finish. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism by the hotel staff, making me feel instantly welcomed. Every staff member I encountered was friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. Whether it was providing local recommendations, arranging transportation, or accommodating special requests, they did so with genuine care and efficiency. The hotel's amenities were top-notch, including a well-maintained gym, a beautiful pool area, and a variety of dining options that catered to different tastes. I look forward to returning in the future.

Everything. 😇 We travel a lot but this was definitely my favourite Hotel so far. Literally liked everything about it even smelled perfectly❤️❤️❤️ Daughter liked swimming pool a lot, had shaded areas and huge screen for those who love to watch games. Free Shuttle bus to beautiful sandy beach few times a day. Bus stop to Abu Dhabi airport is just in front hotel, same as metro station. Ibn Battuta Mall is just few steps from hotel. Everything is near and convenient. Even had rooms with special toilets assisting people with disabilities and wheelchair users.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Thank you for amazing stay!!!

Nothing.
