“This is like again a 3.5star hotel which I can rate”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012 via mobile
2
people found this review helpful

good side of the hotel
a) the hotel from the exterior and interior looks very charming
b) the rooms are also well decorated
c) the variety of break fast is really wide and big which I enjoyed very much.
d) all facilities of the hotel are working and in good condition
e) the hotel staff is friendly
f) the location is quite a central location.

The bad side of the hotel
a)the cost and method in which the wifi facility in the hotel operated is totaly unfair and very expensive.

b) getting a taxi outside the hotel you really have to wait for 15 mins minimum and the hotel staff does not help you in arranging one. They only have car rental service for full day or to go across dubaifor half or full day.
c) the laundry/housekeeping when dialed to opt the service take a lot of time to pick call and give in to your enquiry only after 20 min till then youvhave to wait.

“Mixed”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2012

I stayed here on business and booked the hotel via booking.com. Upon checkin the reception staff would not honour the rate and were determined not to discuss it. For an international hotel the checkin desk staff do not have good enough English and have an objectionable attitude. The rooms are clean although I booked a twin suite and had to make do with a standard room due to the checkin staff being not the best. My room key stopped working and checkin made me try 4 more before they called an engineer. All very frustrating.
The is a really good Chinese within the restaurant with some fab staff.
Overall ok but disappointed mainly down to checkin desk staff.

“Aangan Restaurant”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 December 2011

This restaurant serves some good Indian dishes with some okay Indian music! The ambiance is good so is the variety of food items offered. The service is warm and friendly. The portion sizes are on a bigger side; so keep an eye on what you order unless you want to waste the food. We loved the Tandoori Jhinga which was of succulent tiger prawns.

“Aangan Indian Restaurant at the Dhow Palace”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 December 2011

This was always our favourite Indian restaurant in Dubai.

Previously their Lamb Shank was a truly spectacular dish, recommended by Time Out and we made an effort to go to the Dhow Palace Hotel on every visit to Dubai simply to go the the Aangan and have their lamb shanks.

They also had a great Indian band playing most nights.

How it has changed! On our last trip in Dec 2011, the first mouthful of the lamb shank told us something had changed. Now it was just a below average dish. A band was playing, but not good and way to load. I don;t go to a restaurant to just hear a band, but to engage in conversation. Completely impossible, I was shouting at my wife to make myself heard.

It turns out the chef, the band and the manager has changed - all not for the better.

Unfortunately, my advice on this restaurant has changed from 'must go' to 'Avoid'.
