The hotel is situated in a bustling area of Bur Dubai, making it convenient for exploring Dubai, with the Khalid Bin Al Waleed metro station just a short walk away. The rooms offer reasonable comfort and amenities, but the early morning noise can be a disturbance. The hotel's service can be a mixed experience, with some staff being accommodating for booking day trips while others display negative attitudes. The dining options are limited mostly to South Indian cuisine. Overall, the hotel provides a decent stay with room for improvement in various aspects.

My stay at DOLPHIN was a mix of positives and negatives. The spacious and well-furnished rooms were neat and clean, but unfortunately, we encountered bedbugs, water on the bathroom floor, and faulty lights. Despite the initial dismissal by the Operations Manager, the overall experience at DOLPHIN made it still worth a visit.

The hotel is located in a vicinity where several Indian families reside, close to Meena Bazaar. The rooms are very beautiful but could have been cleaned better. The service is not good, with staff showing disinterest. However, the location is very good, at the center of Bur Dubai, convenient for shopping and dining. The dining experience is good for strict vegetarian Indian food. Facilities are satisfactory but could be improved.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were perfectly clean and convenient with a useful kitchen facility, but some areas were less appealing like the smoking smell and basic bathroom amenities. The service was efficient and helpful, although the reception could be slow to respond at times. The prime location was ideal for quick access to various parts of UAE, but the dining options were limited. Despite some drawbacks, the overall value for money was decent.

Staying at this hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, though spacious and clean, had a stinking smell that was quite off-putting. On the bright side, the location is excellent for exploring the UAE and is near Meena Bazaar, a bustling shopping hub. The service, while mostly helpful, had some lapses with negative attitudes. The dining options were limited to mostly South Indian dishes, with no non-veg items, but the breakfast, being free, felt like homemade food. The facilities at the hotel were adequate, offering room service, dry cleaning, housekeeping, grocery shopping service, and more.
