5.4/10

I had a mixed experience at The First Collection Dubai Marina. The hotel's location was excellent, just a short walk from JBR beach and the Dubai Marina. However, I faced issues with service and some amenities that fell short of expectations.

Rooms

6.0

The room was spacious and clean, though I did have some trouble with the pillows being uncomfortable. The view from my room was decent, but I faced noise from the busy highway nearby.

Service

5.0

While some staff members, like Karim, were very helpful, my experience with room service and housekeeping was disappointing. I had to ask multiple times for a simple pillow request and the cleaning could have been better managed.

Location

The hotel is in a fantastic location, within walking distance to the Marina and several dining options. I appreciated being able to enjoy long walks in the area.

Dining

Breakfast was underwhelming. I experienced unfriendly service and a lack of available options. I ended up choosing to eat out rather than dine at the hotel.

Facilities

The facilities were satisfactory, but the pool area felt crowded, and I had challenges accessing food warming services due to policy restrictions.

7.4/10

I had a pleasant stay at The First Collection Dubai Marina, although there were some hiccups. The staff was incredibly attentive and accommodating, making me feel welcomed throughout my visit. However, breakfast options lacked variety, and the waiting times at reception were a bit frustrating. Overall, the location and view from my room made up for these issues.

Rooms

I enjoyed a lovely room with a fantastic view of the marina and a balcony on the top floor. The upgrade was a nice surprise, although my initial room had some issues that required attention from the staff.

Service

8.0

The service was impressive, with friendly staff ready to assist and even arrange transportation for me. However, there were some misunderstandings regarding room arrangements, which needed to be addressed more efficiently.

Perfectly situated within walking distance to Dubai Marina, I appreciated the easy access to restaurants and the beach. The marina boardwalk was absolutely stunning, enhancing my overall experience.

Dining

7.0

While the breakfast spread was extensive and delicious, it could benefit from more variety and plant-based options. Additionally, the breakfast lounge felt a bit cramped for the number of guests.

Facilities

7.0

The hotel offered a range of facilities, including room service and dry cleaning, which enhanced my stay. However, the long waits at reception detracted from the convenience.

5.6/10

I recently stayed at The First Collection Dubai Marina for 5 nights, and overall, it was a lovely experience. While I was initially disappointed with the room placement near the elevator, the staff, especially Nancy, were very accommodating and helpful. The location near the Marina was convenient, though the complimentary bus service could benefit from evening hours. The food, particularly breakfast, was fantastic, and the service from the staff was really good. 😊

Rooms

8.0

The room was lovely with fresh linen and a good living space, but I found it disappointing that the upgraded room options were all near the elevator, which was noisy. I appreciated the cleanliness and the good amenities provided.

Service

10.0

I can't praise the staff enough for their friendliness and willingness to assist throughout my stay. They truly made me feel valued and comfortable, which enhanced my experience immensely.

Location

8.0

The hotel is conveniently located near Dubai Marina and just a 15-minute walk to the JBR, though the heat can be challenging. The complimentary bus service is a nice touch, but more evening options would improve accessibility.

Dining

10.0

Breakfast options were extensive and of great quality. The food was one of the highlights of my stay, with various choices available to satisfy different tastes.

Facilities

8.0

The facilities were satisfactory, though the pool area was small and shaded. I didn't use the shuttle service but appreciated the offer and the extensive amenities available.

I had an amazing stay at The First Collection Dubai Marina, filled with great food and friendly staff. The hotel's location is perfect, just a short walk to the Marina and nearby attractions. However, I did encounter some issues with room cleanliness and the check-in process that could be improved.

Rooms

8.0

The room was spacious with comfortable beds, but I did have an issue with the pillows having an unpleasant odor and insufficient lighting in the room.

Service

The staff were truly lovely, always eager to help. Special shoutout to Rahaman from the restaurant for consistently bringing my morning coffee. However, the check-in process was a bit chaotic and slow on arrival.

Location

9.0

The hotel is in an ideal location, a short walk from the Marina and close to JBR beach. Perfect for exploring nearby restaurants and shops.

Dining

8.0

Dining options were really good, and getting half-board was a nice touch to enjoy various meals, though it would have been better if we were briefed on the dinner voucher expiration.

Facilities

7.0

Facilities were solid with room service and a free shuttle to the beach. The pool was a bit small, but the access to another beach club was great.
