Dubai [DXB] used to be good. Now it is materialism gone mad. How may we still enjoy DXB? One answer is to stay on a Creek side hotel. Carlton is one of the better value such places. A few yards from the Creek, from an Abra [water taxi] stations, and from the Souks 'Old' & 'Gold'. Good access to the... more

I was told this hotel has a nice view, which was true. However I was not told about the type of service. The people at the front were friendly and always smiled but booking a cab would take forever. At the same time when we planned to go out on a trip- which was organised by the hotel, we were... more

Hi; I would like to say that my stay at Carlton Tower - was quiet pleasant. Yes, i will agree with the other reviews that there is renovation work beign done in the hotel, but it is on the ground level (in front of the hotel), and it had no impact on my stay. I was staying in room 1001... more

i've been a regular guest at this hotel, and i'm sad to say it's on the decline. the only thing keeping it going is the concierge staff, always helpful and friendly in contrast to the rest of the staff. i only hope they get their act together. it's one of the few places in dubai that has some human character. more

Checked in after a long wait so I would dread to think how long it would take in peak season. The room was terrible and I even had to... more

I`m glad I stayed only 2 nights. Breakfast was like something from 1940s Britain. TINNED fruit salad, TINNED Peaches, TINNED Pears in a 4 Star Hotel. The brightest things in the Lobby were the Black and White pictures of the opening day in 1977 The staff tried their best. "Just another 30 minutes , Sir" when the water was turned... more

was recomended to us like a luxury 4 star hotel. i was there in nov.2006. the staff was ok, but the hotel is almost 3 stars. the position in DEIRA is very good (near the Creek), the rooms are clean but small and i heard all noisses from hall and rooms near me. (no insonorization and i had some bad... more

The hotel is located in the Deira district, almost direclty on Dubai Creek. We stayed there for two nights. Our room has been clean and quite large - but nothing special. Breakfast was not really fine either. Would recommend this hotel to everyone, who gets a special rate but don't expect anything special or fine. Hotel should be rated as... more
