We had an amazing time at the First Collection Business Bay hotel. Everything was as advertised, if not better. The room is spacious, with a comfortable bed, and anything that you could need (bathrobes, bath products, hair dryer, iron, tea kettle and coffee and so much more). Although we had the city view room, we could still see the Burj Khalifa through our window, it was just a little bit to the side. Everything is clean and in good shape, and cleaning is done daily. The pool area is great, with a Burj Khalifa view, but it is in the shade most of the day - which can be a good or bad thing, depending on the day. It was very helpful to have shuttle buses to the Jumeirah Palm and Burj Khalifa, and there were always taxis in front of the hotel ready to take you anywhere for a very reasonable price. Before booking, we saw that some people had some issues with the food, but our experience was amazing - the breakfast buffet had many different options. The offer is the same every day, but you can choose between different types of eggs, meats, cheeses, fruit, salads, pastries, cereal, dips, even some perhaps more lunch foods - even after five days I didn't manage to try everything I wanted to. Especially enjoyable are fresh cooked omelette and crepes that you can get every day. Also regarding the food, our big recommendation is to get the half board. Dinner options are even better than breakfast. Every day you could choose to visit one of three restaurants in the hotel. One of which is buffet style (and every day you have a different theme, such as BBQ, Italian Food, International Food...), and at the other two you get a menu you can choose from, including a appetizer, main course and dessert. You can visit all these restaurant without having a half board option, but you will save a lot of money this way. Especially we recommend the Aaliya Lounge, which had lovely music and was a great place to be at night.

The only slightly negative experience was when we got an incorrect information about the shuttle bus time to the Soluna Beach, which made us miss the shuttle bus and not be able to go to the beach that day. Luckily, that was our first day of vacation, so we visited Soluna later. We understand that mistakes happen, but be aware that you should trust the information on the pamphlet which they give you at check in.

Breakfast was lovely great choices. Restaurant, bar & housekeeping staff were great.

The courtesy buses were set times which didn’t suit us however they might suit others? We had an email confirming the Soluna beach club was inclusive however the reception changed this to chargeable the week before we arrived.

We loved everything! The stuff was great, breakfast exceptional, room was very spacious and they refilled it daily with fresh water, coffee, tea. The balcony has a great view of the city and Burj Khalifa as well as the pool area! We also had a dinner buffet one evening for 25€ per Person, needless to say the food and the offer was as expected amazing! It is easy to get a taxi (be careful there are Private drivers waiting outside the hotel which charge more than double!) and it is quite close to all the attractions. So if you are looking for a city vacation but still have want to relax at the beach- this is a great option!

The staff were very friendly and let us check in early and check out late without a charge. The hotel itself is very immaculate and clean. Would highly recommend to stay here and for the price it was amazing.

Location could be better but taxi to Dubai mall is quite cheap and they do offer free shuttle service so not really an issue

We spent a week researching hotels in Dubai and finally chose this one. We were totally satisfied with our choice. Great value for money. Great location, a nice and big breakfast, also lunch and dinner. View to Burj Khalifa. Nice coffee at the cafe on the first floor. The bus can drive you either to the Mall or the beach. Great beach club with good cocktails and food.

It would be great if you arrange the second bus to the beach at 11:30 and returning to the hotel at 16:00. Was not very convenient to rush each morning to the bus when you are on vacation. And to coordinate with the schedule of the bus to the Mall, because when you return from the beach you are already late for a bus to the Mall.

During my recent visit to Dubai, I had the pleasure of staying at your hotel, a modern and stylish hotel in one of the city’s most vibrant areas. My experience exceeded expectations in several ways making it worth sharing. The hotel is strategically located in a very prime area easy to reach at all attraction areas The restaurant manager organized a birthday dinner for my daughter and my friend which was so amaizing the decoration and service esp from Rachel was SuperB I really liked the service, kindness and humbleness from staffs esp from Harrison, George, Valentine and Michael so good people Alex from spa is the best I really recommend for anyone going to Dubai to stay here it’s really value for money The view from swimming pool to Bhuj Khalifa is Heaven also 😍😍

Nothing

Breakfast with very nice with excellent variety, and friendly staff.

The beach club was average we had to pay for the chairs and umbrellas by the pool @100 aud each, the shuttle bus operator was a mad man behind the wheel! whilst on two different phones wouldnt rush back there!

Excellent location, very friendly staff!

There is a lot of construction around the hotel and it's a bit noisy during the day, but it didn't bother us.

We were visiting Dubai for the first time, and I want to say we were fully shocked! We had a business trip and book The first Business Bay Hotel, I can say that we had a amazing stay! Location is very good, poll wish the Burj Khalifa view and from the room as well! Very tasty breakfast at restraint with terrace, especially I liked omelet : ) dinner we were having in another restraint called Blacksmith – with live music and drinks, I suggest tasting schnitzel there. Regarding the staff, positive and welcoming, I can say for 100% I have never saw this kind of staff. When we arrived our booking was for 2 persons with separate bed and there was standing shower. I asked lady(I’m so sorry I did not remember her name) standing over the desk to find out if there is possibility to take room with bathtub, but rooms with separate beds and with bathtub were not available this time, so she offered us to see both rooms and choose which one we prefer, - we choose room with bathhub, but there was only king-size bed – and what has happened? She put another separate bed in our room without any additional charge! - just unbelievable! The Overall, I had a lovely stay at the hotel, I would stay there some more days, but we had to fly back, I do recommend this hotel! Enjoy your stay!

i have no time to stay there more.

Comfortable room, very helpful staff, nice that you have the choice to choose between the three restaurants (we were half board), very nice meals, hotel bus can take you at Dubai mall, Soluna beach and Emirates mall.

The corridors have an unpleasant smell from the carpet.
