The AC does notwork. The hotel is very old and the rooms are extremely cold. I never recommend someone to go this hotel. Disgusting!!! There is no slipper, toothpaste and towel in the room. The staffs are not experinced. Just the location is good. Never never never try this hotel

The hotel is clean and relatively simple, and offers good service with helpful satff in the reception. Their English and French (and Arabic, of course) was very good. Free wi-fi in lobby area. My...

I think this is only the second or third time I give a hotel a 1 star rating. Yet, the Bella Riva Suites deserves it. At a hefty 100 USD per night, you would expect something more from a 3-star hotel in Dubai. Yet, it fails to deliver on so many points... Rooms: right size, with complimentary fruit basket and...

Checking in/out was effortless. The staff at the front desk was exceptional! If I needed anything they were more than helpful (they even arranged for me to take a taxi to Jeita Grotto). The room was large and clean with great working a/c. The cons: the toilet did not flush properly, the ceiling started to leak water our last night,... More
