Crowne Plaza Festival City was great! I enjoyed my stay & so convenient to the mall nearby. I had a very nice view overlooking the city & waterfront. There were different sizes of swimming pools spread out which overlooks the water & city landscape. At night you can go downstairs & enjoy a meal or outdoor seating with a big flat screen tv. It’s nice & relaxing. The room was very comfortable; clean & I enjoyed my stay. Breakfast included hot & cold meals & you can get latte, cappuccino's. There’s a nice walkway with a view & festival city mall was easy to walk around. It’s not as big as the other malls but it’s convenient to its hotel proximity. It has a view. Just take a taxi & you’re on your way to explore the highlights of Dubai💫

During a recent stay at the Crowne Plaza Festival, my experience was nothing short of exceptional, particularly given an unforeseen weather-related situation. Despite the stress brought on by severe weather conditions, the hotel staff showcased remarkable professionalism and attentiveness that went beyond my expectations. From the moment the storm began, the Crowne Plaza team sprang into action to ensure all guests felt safe and comfortable. Their proactive measures and efficient handling of the situation minimized disruptions and maintained a calm atmosphere throughout the hotel. The staff were incredibly accommodating, promptly responding to any concerns and providing regular updates about the weather and services available. Their friendly and composed demeanor made a significant difference in managing the stress of the situation. Moreover, the hotel's preparedness for such events was evident, which included well-maintained facilities that could withstand the harsh conditions without compromising comfort. The team's effort to maintain high service standards during the crisis was commendable. I am truly impressed by the professionalism and dedication of the Crowne Plaza Festival staff. Their exceptional service during a challenging time has not only met but exceeded my expectations, making my stay memorable for all the right reasons.
