Review of Courtyard by Marriott Al Barsha – Highlights
- The location: one of the best aspects of the Courtyard hotel is the location. Just steps away from the Mall of the Emirates (and Sheraton) makes it an excellent base for your stay in Dubai. The hotel is also just a 10-15 minute drive to Dubai Marina or Palm Jumeirah and likewise a 20-25 minute drive to Downtown Dubai or DIFC. The hotel also has its own basement parking which is self service.
- The design: one of the stand out features is the modern and clean design of the hotel. From the stunning lobby to the corridors in the hotel, the fit out and finishings of the hotel are top notch. This extends into the rooms which are given modern, clean, crisp wood design. Let’s see how the carpet lasts as it very light in color! See the pictures below.
- The layout: of the rooms are very spacious, even the standard rooms have lounge chairs, coffee tables and a long work desk – perfect to work from home. There are also large closets providing ample storage for those staying a little longer.
- The amenities: in the room consist of a coffee and tea machine with a variety of pods and flavors as well as unlimited complimentary water (just call down to housekeeping to request more if needed). The shower and bathroom amenities are environmental, using reusable bottles attached to the wall – which is best considering how much plastic is wasted from the small disposable containers!
- The gym: features a large array of Life Fitness brand equipment given the size of the property. New and excellent set up provide for a cool and invigorating work out!
Review of Courtyard by Marriott Al Barsha – Things to Note
- The food: leaves much to be desired. The hotel has one all day dining restaurant on the ground floor as as well as a small lobby cafe (mostly serving coffee and tea). There is also a bar lounge on the roof top (but was closed during our stay). The breakfast (set up pictures below) is simple and completely self service. Would have preferred a smaller set up with more high quality ingredients and options instead of ready made.
- The service: since this is a limited service hotel the team does cope well, however, there are times when due to high capacity at the hotel there is slow attendance or actions taken.
Review of Courtyard Hotel Al Barsha – Tips
- There are plenty of benefits for Marriott Bonvoy members from upgrades, early check in, late check out, free high speed internet and more. As a Marriott elite member you can choose either 500 welcome points, a welcome amenity or daily breakfast. If you are staying more than one night, the best value would be the free daily breakfast for two.
- Walk across the street to the Mall of the Emirates there are tons of restaurant options, entertainment (Ski Dubai, cinemas) as well as shops.
