Chelsea Tower Hotel Apartments

Appartment size good, but poor soundproofing so traffic noise was an issue and I was on the 8th floor. Servcie weak: examples include paying for a late check out, then getting to my room with some very heavy bags to find my key no longer worked so had to do all the way downstairs again, my laundry not getting returned for 2 days till I chased it up as I was checking out {and they dont do laundry on Fridays} and the fact that this hotel is "dry" i.e. no alcohol available at all (and dont forget being the middle east you cant just pop... more

My husband and I stayed here for 1 week with 2 children under 5. The first place I check in a hotel is the bathroom hence the picture and both were in excellent condition. We were upgraded to a 3 bedroom apartment and that was just excellent. The kids ran around the apartment as it was really SPACIOUS. There were kiddies channel in English so that helped. The kitchen and washing machine came in really handy with two toddlers. We tried the restaurant on our first morning but the decor put us off so we left. We ordered breakfast... more

the 3 bed apartment was a good size for a holiday and our 4 kids loved it- the bathrooms were a bit too small though. so was the master bedroom. having so many kids means you need to do loads of washing and the separate washing machine and dryer made life a lot easier. The kitchen utensils were below standard with pots and frying pans having lost their non stick bases ages ago; the staff were not prepared to replace them so we ate out and bought lots of take aways - the kids loved the fact that we were bang in the middle of... more

We made the reservations through the internet and the only information we had for the hotel was the description of its webiste and some other travel sites. It look impressive and we expected a good value for the money we paid. However, we had a really unpleasant surpise, as the small suites for two persons are only on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd floors and the noise was terrible. The staff was not really helpful and the services (breakfast, lunch) inlcuding the breakfast quality were less than average. What we got had nothing to do with the... more

The hotel/apartment is perfect for you if you are travelling around Dubai, like we were. It is newly built and very modern. The apartments were a perfect size with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a kitchen which had everything you needed including some saucepans and a washing machine, so you don't really need to pack too much. There was also a dining room and a sitting room which had a large T.V. and a DVD Player. The pool was a reasonable size and again very modern. The disappointing thing about this hotel was the cafe as the food was quite... more

We stayed at the Chelsea Tower with my husband in November 2006 and we cannot say that it was an exceptional experience. It was expensive for what it offered, which is just a well-appointed apartment. The staff were OK and their swimming pool and fitness area on top of the car park are quite good. We ate at the restaurant on one side of the building and it was alright. We particularly enjoyed their water-pipe and their deserts. Now, I would gladly give them a 4/5 rating if they were a little cheaper, but as it is I must say that it was... more

A four star 48 floor/250m high hotel / serviced apartments located in the middle of other skyscrapers close to the forthcoming highest building in the world (Burj Dubai). Offering mainly aimed to expats etc staying there longer, I was there on combined business/holiday trip lasting for 8 days during Nov’06. Hotel is new, built in 2005. One to three bedroom apartments with fully equipped kitchen. Some rooms have balcony, we had a three bedroom apartment (free upgrade in check-in from one bedroom apartment!) which was probably bigger... more

We booked on the internet, paid by credit card and we live in Abu Dhabi so could forsee no problems. We drove to the hotel in dubai. Staff insisted on our passports as ID, which we didn't have, would NOT accept our photo ID, uae credit cards, nothing at all. Very unhelpful, couldn't careless attitude. Where going to charge us for the room even though it was them that wouldn't let us stay there. Other hotels in dubai did not insist on passports as ID. Spoilt the day.

The Chelsea Tower provides such excellent accommodation, I cant belive it is rated as the 70th best hotel in Dubai! The apartments are very nicely furnished, the modern fixtures and fittings made it feel like a home from home. Views from each side of the Tower are fantastic, particularly as you get up to the higher floors. From the front of the building you have clear views of the Burj Al Arab (the 7 star sail hotel), the Jumeriah Beach Hotel, "The World" and the new Burj Dubai (currently under construction. The pool area is... more

The hotel is new, so I think rates are low only temporarily. But in May 2005 we got a 2-bedroom suite for much less than the cost of a 1-bedroom at the Dusit Dubai. The rooms at Chelsea were larger and nicer. It really is an apartment, and there was a full kitchen we could have used. There is a health club with a nice pool (1/2 olympic length, they say), but there are no amenities such as a fancy lobby, a bar, or nice restaurants. Breakfast is free and is served next door.
