Media One Hotel

Dubai City, Dubai

Virgin rating

The hotel

There’s something seriously slick about Media One Hotel. It’s like they read all the guides to creating the ultimate urban retreat: find a tip-top location (this one’s in the heart of New Dubai), add another mirrored masterpiece to Dubai’s famed skyline, fill it with cosmopolitan city break essentials (Gym? Tick. Dining? Tick. Nightlife? Tick.) and zhoosh it up with accessories straight from a celebrity designer’s moodboard. Like a constant reminder of its cooler-than-cool location, your guest room looks out over the Arabian Gulf, Palm Jumeirah, or glittering Dubai skyline. And, for more eye-popping views, the tower’s dining and drinking hubs include Garden on 8, with on-trend refectory tables and big-screen TVs, and Coco Lounge, a ‘bar-meets-lounge-meets-pool’ set up, where you can slink from your swim to a poolside sofa for skyline views, cocktails, and chillout beats.

The flight was delayed and the pickup was on time and the driver Sandip did a very good job by explaining the areas we went through in the city and main buildings. I highly recommend this service. People that are willing to support, very helpful.

Today morning Sandip gave me a ride to the airport and he was just very professional and very kind. The trip was very early in the morning but Sandip was very smiling and careful about all the little details for a perfect trip. Thank you Sandip.

We are truly satisfied with overall service, starting from Briana's wormly welcome and guidance when we check-in, also with our room cleaner who has always been at his best, always friendly and ready to help. Breakfast was very good, with so many options to order special meals and coffee also with whole team who were very prompt in their service, and we really had a feeling of a home away from Home! :) We would wish especially to thank to Malika's help and willingness to prolong our check-out schedule until our pick-up ride. We will surely recommend this hotel to our friends and we will definitely look forward to stay in it when we visit Dubai again. Read less
