We had the best time staying here. Staff were friendly and easy to approach. We felt very welcomed and would highly recommend to anyone coming to dubai to stay at this hotel. Fantastic customer service.
Had a great experience at Canal Central. The staff was awesome from the doorman to the receptionist to the house cleaning they did everything we needed and more recommend five star.
Excellent place which is very central, with the most beautiful view. In addition Lovely staff who made our stay a pleasure from the moment we arrived until we left. Breakfast was 10/10. Highly recommend this hotel.
I’ve stayed at this hotel several times now. I stay here more often than not when visiting Dubai on business. One of the best values in Dubai. The service is top notch and the breakfasts are always a highlight!
Great hotel, didn't use the pool but it looked busy so must have been great. The Breakfast was really good. Only downside is there is still a lot of construction going on around the property and directly behind the hotel. So if you sit on the terrace to have breakfast be prepared for some dust and noise. I would stay here again
Overall decent stay.
+ good location and view on the canal and Burj Khalifa the highest building on earth.
+friendly staff
+ Wifi amenities in room 👍
- food not diversify enough
- dinner in main restaurant only buffet can’t à la carte.
