Very disappointing ”
There was a smell and issue with the sewage my whole trip! That nobody solved and there was an issue with controlling the air conditioning. Again nobody know how to resolve this. It is not possible to control the temperature either in the room or even out of the room from the mains! Breakfast was very disappointing! Not good value for money! They couldn’t even make an omelette properly most of the time. The service is mostly very bad.
Dear Michelle, I do appreciate the time you have taken to share the concerns and issues that you faced, as this allows us to look deeper into the areas and address them in an effort to prevent any repeat. It is disappointing to know that your expectations weren’t met and you had to encounter several inconveniences during the stay, please know that this is not reflect the standards and service we live in Vida. I have shared your comments with the team and we will take necessary actions to avoid re-occurrence. I once again thank you for your review and I will be happy to welcome you back. Best wishes, Nicolas C. General Manager, Vida Downtown
Good amenities and location”
Hotel rooms were very spacious we took the junior suite and it was very convenient. The location was great too, very close to the mall and the boulevard street with lots of restaurants. The breakfast food however could still be improved in terms of having more options. Overall, it was a great experience staying here and when we come back to Dubai we will definitely stay here again.
Very friendly service & great location”
it's quite refreshing to see such friendly service in dubai. the staff seems quite sincere when they smile or deal with us particularly the chinese/asian lady at the reception. room service is also very prompt. they do have to improve on the club sandwich though, very dry and tasteless. the hotel is a walking distance from dubai mall and souk al bahar, which is perfect for a weekend stopover. it's a cosy, quiet and personal hotel, not like most of the hotels in dubai which tends to be over the top and cold. the security guard at the back entrance is rude though. not all asian/chinese girls are 'call girls', he should be careful not to treat asian guests as one of them. otherwise, everything else was great. thank you qamardeen.
Great hotel”
Comfortable, ideally located to the mall, fountain and burj. Hotel should add more shuttle trips to the destinations they offer. One of the days, we "missed" the shuttle and took a taxi. While en-route in the taxi, i checked the shuttle time table and realised that we were 20 minutes early for the shuttle that had departed!!! Concierge could not offer an explanation when i returned Free WIFI - always a plus All in all - an excellent place to stay
Nice hotel, perfect location, friendly staff”
Had a lovely time there with my sister. The hotel is on a walking distance from Dubai Mall, about 10 minutes, which was the main reason for our visit to Dubai. The walk is fine as long as the weather is fine.
Great rooms and location”
Just stayed for one night but will definitely stay again. The location is handy for Dubai Mall, Sheikh Zayed Road and Burj Khalifa, so should appeal to business and tourist travellers alike. I've stayed in so called 5 star hotels which do not come close to this 4 star. Build Quality is high (not always the case in UAE) and the room is spacious and comfortable.
Fantastics Stay. Highly Recommended.”
You simply cannot fault this hotel. It's a quiet little hotel so they can afford to provide excellent service that is very personal. I was impressed from the moment I checked in when they offered a cold towel and a fruit juice. It's little touches like this that make you remember this hotel and want to come back. Absolutely brilliant staff. Everyone is dedicated in providing the best they can for the guests. Never says no to anything. Highly recommended if you are on a business or a shopping trip.
great place”
we loved this hotel. staff were really friendly and informative. swimming pool was nice and relaxing and the room was super comfy and exceptionally clean. located 15m walk from mall and fountains. recommended
Nice hotel with great location in downtown Dubai ”
Location is great near Dubai mall and the hotel is very modern . It has many facilities like a swimming pool and restaurants. The room is slightly small and the toilet is not separated . The bathtub is good only if there was a seperate bathroom
Comfortable rooms and good service”
I was travelling with a colleague who stayed here before once, and upon check-in they welcomed him back. It's a small detail but effective. We had a comfortable stay, and even though we were late in checking out because our meeting went longer than expected the staff accommodated our circumstance. Location is excellent and I imagine that when the weather is better people can walk around the downtown area to the Burj and Dubai Mall. I would stay here again and its good value for the price.
Beautiful Stay, Would Recommend to Everyone!”
I went to Dubai for 4 nights for a business trip. Decided to stay here because of its location and great review; I was not disappointed! The ambiance as a whole were extremely positive and luxurious. Check in was hassle free and the room was very clean with a good size comfortable bed. The pool was great, only wished it stays open at night as I often come back from meetings/shopping sprees past 7pm. Will definitely stay again and recommend to everyone!
Great location, but wouldn't stay there again”
The location of the hotel was good, within walking distance to a number of cafes, restaurants and the Dubai Mall. The pool is very exposed as it is looked over by the bar area and anyone can walk in off the street straight into the pool area. The initial check-in staff member was very friendly, but subsequent interactions with staff was verging on rude. I also found the "interactive" TV system, which allows you to order room service and find out about the hotel facilities and surrounding area, totally user-unfriendly. After 15 minutes trying to view the full room service menu, I lost patience and ordered the item at the top of the menu, rather than what I wanted to eat. Equally, the check out time was very difficult to find using the TV system. And there was no printed guide as a back-up. This hotel looks great on the surface, but I wouldn't recommend it or stay there again. What a shame.
Very pleasant stay”
We stayed for two nights. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Check in was fast and room was very clean, a good size and the bed was very comfortable. The shower was awkward as there was a bench/seat type of thing inside which was odd. Pool was lovely, I just wish it was open later than 7pm as we get back from sight seeing and it would be closed. Food was good and we enjoyed drinking by the pool. The breakfast was fantastic. We Will definitely stay again and recommend to friends.
Simply the best hotel I have stayed in!”
I will not be staying in any other hotel when I visit Dubai again. Vida blew me away with the service, attentitive staff, amazing location, amazing courtyard / pool / daybed area / the amazing restaurants within the hotel. We stayed here on our honeymoon and they surprised us with a cake the read honeymoon and also sent us a photo of the staff holding a congratulations sign. This hotel is an absolute must stay when traveling to Dubai, I cant speak highly enough!
Luxury, quiet, and a great location”
i Enjoyed my stay very much, i have been stayed 4 nights and i don't want out of it. it's Wonderful hotel and very comfortable For couples and families. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the swimming pool is fantastic, it's very close to Dubai Mall and burj khalifa, i love it. The price is rather high and there is no breakfast included.

Great stay in a unique hotel in the middle of a lovely city DUBAI centrally located next to the great Dubai mall and downtown Dubai . Comfortable rooms, friendly staff , great food and restaurants. I highly recommend this hotel.
Felt so welcome”
From the moment we arrived until the minute we left we were treated with dignity & respect. The staff were amazing. Thanking you for building & maintaining a beautiful hotel easy walking distance to Burj Khalifa & Dubai Mall.
A great hotel that is good to explore”
It was a great stay. we were a group of 3 friends/ In general we were very happy from the hotel, beside some construction that was ongoing in the hotel for the new japanese restaurant that is being built now...
Our Dubai Experience”
Our stay at the Qamardeen was a most positive experience. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was clean, well appointed and very comfortable. The location was great, close to the interesting sights of Dubai and taxis were outside the door. We really enjoyed our stay, and will definitely stay again on our next trip. We have no hesitation in recommending Qamardeen Hotel to anyone. We did express our pleasure at having stayed there as we checked out. Excellent!!
Excellent hotel, great location and helpful staff.”
This hotel made the final leg of our holiday a true pleasure. We were able to relax by the pool or in our luxurious room. The staff were at our beck and call and the location was very central. Would definately stay there again.
