Ultimate Birthday Dubai – Swissôtel

My friends and I had a wonderful stay at Swissotel Al Ghurair and truly enjoyed our experience. The place is beautiful, comfortable, clean, and welcoming, making our stay very relaxing and enjoyable. A special thank you to Ms. Raiza and Sir Sabir for their exceptional hospitality and warm service. Additional for letting us to join in their celebration of their Accor Anniversary. They were incredibly kind, attentive, and helpful throughout my stay. Their professionalism and genuine care made me feel very welcomed and valued as a guest. Thank you to the entire Swissotel team for making my stay memorable. I would definitely recommend Swissotel to anyone looking for a comfortable stay with excellent service. I look forward to staying here again!

It's a great hotel for anyone that comes, even it's for business purposes or just holiday. The rooms are great and convenient, especially when it comes to a big family. The location was near the international airport and it was also connected to a mall which was so convenient. Customer service was also great, the staff were really quick to respond to any of your problems which was great. One thing I wish they would change would be to expand the variety of the breakfast buffet. Because there aren't too many options to choose from and so, I couldn't find much that I really like. Other than that though, it's a great hotel, it gives you such premium vibes and I love most parts of it.

I would like to commend Romeo for his exceptional service. He was very accommodating, friendly, and welcoming from the moment we arrived. He took the time to explain all the hotel facilities, including where they are located and their operating hours. He also informed us about the breakfast area and asked if we had breakfast included, making sure we knew where to go. Throughout our stay, Romeo always checked if we were doing well and if there was anything we needed. His attentiveness, kindness, and professionalism made us feel comfortable and well taken care of. Thank you, Romeo, for your excellent hospitality. You truly deserve a 5-star rating. Keep up the great work!

We enjoyed our stay at Swissotel Living Al Ghurair Dubai. The spaciousness of the room was perfect for my family. However, in the spirit of providing constructive feedback, I have a few things I want to bring to your attention. 1. Our stay was short and we really had a need to use the washer/dryer but there was no detergent and guest services mentioned that they don’t provide it. This was a little disappointing cause in this trip I stayed at three other places and they had detergent in the room to wash clothes. 2. My kids were jet lagged and had a hard time making it to breakfast at the appointed time. Like my comment above, the other places we stayed at allowed us to take food to the room for my kids but we were told this is not allowed at swissotel. It was a little disappointing cause we were new to the city and still trying to find our way around the city for alternate options. 3. And lastly, the egg station at breakfast was great and we loved it. As for the rest of the food, it smelled and tasted a little different. Again, I want to reiterate, overall our stay was enjoyable except for the few quirks mentioned above. I hope Swissotel will take my feedback into consideration and address these going forward.

Had the best time with my friends and we LOVED it. Stylish hotel, elegant, spotless and perfect location. The rooms are luxurious, great views, and the service is amazing. We also enjoyed the buffet. The staff were excellent , professional yet so friendly especially JUFEBOY, (not sure if I spelled his name correctly). They went above and beyond , checking if we need anything and if we enjoyed our meal. If you want 5 star service with genuine hospitality then this is the place. Great vibe, great service and we left with full stomach and big 😁.Special shout-out to JUFEBOY. We can't wait to return.

Here's a polished, balanced review that praises the excellent staff while clearly highlighting the areas where Swissôtel Al Ghurair fell short. I recently stayed at **Swissôtel Al Ghurair Dubai** for **8 nights** as an **Accor Platinum member**, and my experience was a mix of exceptional hospitality from several team members and disappointing service in a few important areas. First, I would like to sincerely thank the outstanding staff who made my stay enjoyable. **Raiba, Saber, and Mustafa** from the Front Office were consistently warm, professional, and eager to help. Every interaction with them was pleasant, and they always greeted guests with genuine smiles while handling requests efficiently. They truly represent the level of hospitality expected from a five-star hotel. A special appreciation also goes to **Debi** from the restaurant, who provided excellent service throughout my stay. Debi was attentive, courteous, and always ensured guests were well looked after. Likewise, **Hema** from the Executive Lounge deserves recognition for her exceptional hospitality, friendly nature, and willingness to go the extra mile. Team members like these are the reason guests return. Unfortunately, the biggest disappointment during my stay was the **housekeeping department**. For a hotel carrying the Swissôtel and Accor luxury brand, the housekeeping standards fell well below expectations. The most frustrating issue was something as basic as **drinking water**. Despite repeatedly requesting **three bottles of water**, housekeeping frequently delivered only **one bottle**. This happened on multiple occasions during my eight-night stay, forcing me to make repeated follow-up calls for such a simple request. Guests should never have to chase housekeeping repeatedly for basic amenities. I believe the housekeeping department requires much stronger supervision, better training, and greater attention to guest requests. The inconsistency in service does not reflect the standards expected of a five-star property. Management should seriously review the performance of this department and take corrective action to ensure the guest experience matches the hotel's premium positioning. As an **Accor Platinum member** staying for **eight nights**, I was also hoping for a more meaningful room upgrade, subject to availability. While I understand upgrades can never be guaranteed, I expected greater recognition of elite status during such a long stay. Overall, my experience was saved by the excellent Front Office, Restaurant, and Executive Lounge teams, whose professionalism deserves full credit. However, the housekeeping department significantly affected what could otherwise have been an outstanding stay. I hope the hotel management recognizes the exceptional work of **Raiba, Saber, Mustafa, Debi, and Hema**, while also taking meaningful steps to improve housekeeping standards. With improvements in that area, Swissôtel Al Ghurair has every opportunity to deliver the truly five-star experience that guests expect. One suggestion: rather than saying the housekeeping head "should be replaced and sent to a 3-star hotel like Ibis," it's more likely to be taken seriously if you focus on the service failures and the need for management action. That keeps the review firm, credible, and more persuasive.

The location and facilities are amazing. It was almost a perfect experience, if it wasn’t for the very aggressive tone of a staff member named Mustafa. We extended our stay and paid the tourist tax, but nobody had explained to us that it was supposed to be paid daily. Because of this, our key card was blocked. We went to reception thinking we had just grabbed the old card by mistake. When I asked Mustafa for a new card, he was extremely rude and claimed we hadn't paid anything, even though we had already been staying there for more than five days. He had no patience to explain the tax policy to us and treated us like idiots. This man does not respect guests, or at least, he does not respect women. I am only giving this review 2 stars to be fair to the female receptionists, Raiza and Hanu, who helped me a lot. They were kind and thoughtful, and I will always be thankful for their help.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the best breakfast buffets I've had! Al Liwan Restaurant offers an amazing variety of food, from traditional Arabic breakfast and international dishes to fresh pastries, cheeses, fruits, cereals, live egg stations, and healthy options. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and constantly replenished. A special thanks to Khalid for his excellent supervision. You can really see his dedication in the way the restaurant is managed. He was attentive, professional, and made sure every guest was well looked after, which made the whole dining experience even better. The atmosphere is welcoming, the staff are friendly, and the quality of both the food and service is outstanding. If you're looking for a breakfast buffet with something for everyone, Al Liwan Restaurant is definitely worth visiting. Highly recommended!

I visited this hotel for my birthday dinner with my wife and friends, and we had a wonderful experience. The food was absolutely delicious, and every dish was prepared to a high standard. What made our evening even more special was the excellent service provided by Jafeboy. He was friendly, attentive, and ensured that everything was perfect throughout our visit. His professionalism and hospitality truly stood out. Thank you to the entire team for making my birthday celebration memorable. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for great food and outstanding service.

We came to Yasmine Lounge to celebrate my birthday. The food is super delicious, the environment is pretty nice and quiet, the service is top notch. Special thanks to Sangita who is very kind, friendly, always smiling and willing to assist. We had a precious celebration in here. Hope we'll get back soon.
