I had a pleasant stay at The First Collection Dubai Waterfront, marked by friendly staff and a great breakfast buffet. However, heavy traffic noise from the highway outside was quite disruptive during the night. Despite this, the clean facilities and convenient location close to Dubai Mall made my experience enjoyable overall. 😊
Rooms

My Deluxe Room was clean, but I faced significant noise issues from the highway. Initially, I was offered a room facing the road, which was too loud for comfort. I opted to pay an extra 20 Euros per night to switch to a quieter water view room. Next time, I'd ensure to select a quieter option from the start.
