Armada BlueBay Hotel

I would like to thanks the staff who delivered the dinner, he bring for me a fresh Ginger tea with lemon because I got flu (it’s not in the menu he made it special based on my situation) I feel better after this tea Many thanks for your care and sorry I didn’t got your name

Apart from on very kind and helpful Filipino lady, the staff here were terrible. They phoned the room in the middle of the night to ask questions, they confirmed a late check out wasn’t an issue and would not incur costs, however this was a lie. I spent 6 nights here and confirmed with staff my late check out and a manager by the name of Omar was extremely rude and refused access to my room until a half day rate was charged. This is dishonest and not was I was told. The concierge, travel agent, and staff were zero help in recommendations so be prepared to do all of your own googling, agenda setting - they couldn’t even provide information about the beach. House keeping forgot to replenish items daily - we had to request for basic items daily - such as soaps and conditioner. Lamps did not work in the room - this was reported to staff and never fixed. Wardrobe doors also did not work. I would recommend avoiding this hotel if possible.

The price is reasonble. Very clean and friendly staff. Nice surrounding and it has a medical ctr next door and carrefour that is availabe 24hrs. Walking distance to the metro train station. The only thing is that there not much choice for the buffet breakfast or else everything is perfect and worth for money.

We really enjoyed our stay and would love to come back and have recommended to our friends.

room condition was way better than expected but check-in process took me so long. because I booked this room just 30 minutues before I arrived at the hotel. Front desk staff told me that it usually takes some time to check booking from Agoda so I had to wait for 10-15 minutes in the lobby. Also, Front desk staff was new so process took a bit longer even. However in general, room & view & facilities were all good.

Better options close by for a similar price - check wydham or rove hotel. This hotel is in an akward location, there is a busy bar on the ground floor so drunk people everywhere and the staff are rude. Especially Fayz on reception

We stayed for a week. Affordable accommodation in a good location. Nice pool, bar, friendly staff. Rooms were clean and beds very, very comfy. There is a little grocery store round the corner open 24/7, which was great. I would definitely stay again. Thank you Armada Blue Bay Hotel, we had a lovely stay :)

Excellent location, staff were very friendly and helpful. Rooms were serviced daily and in general the hotel was spotless. Great hotel , enjoyed my stay there would highly recommend to anyone travelling on Business or on holiday.

I used to live in JLT, which is a great location as long as you are ok with a little bit of walking. The area is a park plus three man made lakes, walking distance to metro, and literally hundreds of options for dining. It is literally other side of highway to Dubai marina (which is busy and touristy) and you just take the metro footbridge to get to Marina. I believe hotel also had a shuttle but I was fine walking everywhere - weather is great in Feb. Armada hotel I knew already for Nola bar/restro and Mythos Greek restaurant- both of which are top class. And both of which you need to book well in advance due to their popularity. First time staying in hotel - room was perfect. Large size room and bathroom, clean and quiet. Best sleep I’d had after traveling and staying in many hotels for the past two months. Didn’t try breakfast or food in the hotel as so many options nearby that I already knew. Also didn’t try the pool but it seemed a lot of guests were getting off at that floor so probably popular/busy. Only downside I noticed was 1) hallways a bit dark and could be updated 2) there was usually a wait for the elevator, especially when the bar/restaurant at basement level were busy. Definitely recommend as a well priced and comfortable place to base yourself whilst in Dubai.

I will definitely stay here again the next time I visit Dubai, the place is very nice and the rooms very spacious with a nice view of JLT. The staff are very accommodating too when i requested to change rooms. See you again on my next visit.

Loved the view on the 26th floor, it was foggy around this time in Dubai. We were upgraded to a better room without additional charges and the room was very big and comfy. Little improvement on the check in process, there was a line and waited 30min before check in. Thank you I enjoyed my stay and will return again 🙂

This hotel is nice but honestly I would to tell about responding time for customers needs service not good for example I asked for iron I waited two hours till they provided me with one ,hope they will improve it in the future .

I was there for 10 days training round the corner. So, the location was perfect, next to a supermarket, a great couple of local restaurant doing amazing take-out. But, the pool was closed for maintenance. In training for ten days, I needed a pool, a bath with hot water and an extensive room service menu - which I didn't get. The staff were awesome, it was quiet and the gym was good.

Choose the Armada as it was easy to walk to Metro/ Tram stations which allows Dubai to be explored without a car. Found Dubai Mall area was also all within walking distance. Will stay there again when I next visit Dubai. Rooms clean/ tidy and good size and amenities on site include gym, swimming pool, restaurants and bars and local shops and cafes. In our opinion good Value For Money.

Hotel Carpets were not well- maintained and some paint doors as well. The concierge named OMAR was not approachable and very mean. It was not good to treat a guest with his not so nice words. He was tough without apologising... This was the worst experience I had comparing to all hotels in UAE just because of him.

We have paid for more money to stay but room not available. also charged for big room and got small room facility in the charge of big room. No proper room allocation. Room cleanliness, staff approach is very good. But no money values. Breakfast rejected for which we paid for one room AED 850, Breakfast allowed for which my friend paid for same room AED. 350 This is the difference.

This hotel doesn’t accept AMEX though Agoda allows you to book your room through it. Both nights was woken up by an errant fire alarm. Shower missing knob to switch from tub to spray, and water lukewarm. HouseFly-infested breakfast that mustve been prepared night before because was already cold when the doors opened. Just a shoddy operation.

Check In was good, that's about where it ended. Had a suite (most hotels consider this a premium room and have them located on higher floors), but this was on the 2nd floor. Apparently that have no suites above this level - only regular rooms. Probably just as well, as 95% of the time, I needed to use the fire stairs to get to the room as the elevators simply never arrived on most occasions. Breakfast was shocking - poor quality, unappealing selection - and worst of all - unbelievably filthy. Laundry service had to be chased - both for collection & return. Hotel's own instructions where to not pay laundry on return - but to settle on room account. Housekeeping insisted payment in cash on delivery. Argued with housekeeping on this matter, pointing out the hotel's own policy of not paying housekeeping direct - ended up removing the housekeeping from the hand to the deliverer and closing the door in her face. Second day, seems the housekeeper was smoking in our room.

this is office building converted to hotel. they dont care about service becoz they get business from tour operators and at times resembles a fish market. the room was smelling, sheets where NOT changed since the last visitor, no waste basket, no spoons, no floor towel, no tv remote, empty tissue box. all problems fixed upon request. room had a huge balcony but you cannot use it coz of sound of machinery next to it. 40 floors serviced by 3 lifts and lot of healthy people just took the stairs. breakfast was 2 stars for a 4 star hotel. pls dont write back saying sorry or how you are working on it. also dont say things like mattress and cupboards are missing after i left. if you need to go to the dubai marina which is just across (200 meters), by car it is 8km away and if walking 2.5km

The hotel was one of the best in dubai and situated right in front of marina mall. But the metro station was abit far as it was situated in the center of both metro station so we had to walk around 5-10min to reach there.
