Review of Courtyard Culture Village – Highlights
- The hotel is located just 15 minutes from the airport and around the same time to reach Dubai mall, DIFC, City Walk or Trade Center. The hotel is opposite the Versace Hotel which is across the street and near to the Residence Inn by Marriott and Element Hotel Al Jadaf.
- The property is on the smaller side with just 160 rooms and suites but features a smart stylish design. Upon entering the hotel you are greeted with two reception desks on the left and a grab and go coffee concept on the right with plenty of lounge seating areas. The coffee bar is branded MoMo 2 Go which is the express version of their all day dining restaurant MoMo Bistro on the 1st floor.
- The breakfast at this hotel stands out in the gorgeously designed restaurant. The style of MoMo Bistro which houses the all day dining has a bar to the left and serves buffets on the right with live cooking stations. The variety changes daily such as different pastries, salads and hot selections with some main core items. For a Courtyard Marriott and comparing to standard offering in the United States or Europe this exceeds expectations.
- On the 11th floor is a small but purpose built gym with excellent views over the creek and highway, including both mens and women changing rooms and washrooms. There is also a spa managed by Eleven Wellness which has offers for hotel guests. This floor also has guest rooms, however ideally would prefer a room on the 9th or 10th floor.
- One floor above is the roof top pool. In keeping with the boutique element of the hotel, there are just 10 sun beds, a small pool, jaccuzzi, out door shower. Even though the space is small they manage to make incredible use of the space – there is a full bar with three bar stools and the sun beds have built in sun shades. The entire space is fantastically designed.
- The rooms are sleek and modern with three configurations for the standard rooms in twin, queen and king size formats. The rooms feature all the standard amenities as well as a full working desk, seating area, closets, and minibar (which is empty).
Review of Courtyard by Marriott Culture Village – Things to Note
- The layout of the bathroom can be slightly awkward as the door opens into it so there is not much space left inside when you do so. Likewise there is a glass partition between the bathroom and the bedroom, however you can toggle the glass to fog up to cover it with the switch of a button.
Review of Courtyard Hotel Culture Village – 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.
- Shuttle to festival city mall, metro, dubai mall, and la mer beach leaves 3 times a day from the hotel. It is complimentary for hotel guests. This is a great benefit as other properties around do not offer this service as standard.
