A dryer is also available in the room.

This ensures guests can effortlessly get ready for their day or wind down their night, feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

We didn’t find slippers in our room, but we saw some guests wearing them, so I can assume that slippers can be provided.

Added touches like bottled water and a safety deposit box in the room contribute to the friendly and thoughtful atmosphere of Rove at the Park, making it an ideal choice for travelers seeking comfort and stylish accommodation during their trip to Dubai.

There is no balcony in the room to dry your things, but you can find a pull-out dryer in the shower. To be honest, it is quite difficult to dry things there.

2. Far from other popular tourist destinations and the city. 

3. Public transport facilities are limited and far.

4. Few food delivery options are accessible.

5. Limited parking space.
6. Limited toiletries: some guests have mentioned that the hotel provides limited toiletries, which may not be sufficient for their needs.

As for my personal point of view, it is a great hotel for a short stay if your goal is to visit amusement parks and do some shopping.

There is everything you may need. It is stylish and modern, clean and the service is exceptional.  I would never say that it is a 3-star hotel.

However, I would mention some things you should consider. The rooms are not very spacious and there is no balcony to dry your clothes (you can do it in the shower, but it is not easy actually). The location is a bit remote, there is nothing except Dubai Parks And Resort and Outlet Village and it is quite far from other popular destinations.

And even Dubai Parks and Resorts are 2.5 km away so it would be quite a long way to get there by foot (around 30 min.), free shuttle bus or taxi is better.

In this location, it would rather have a car or use a taxi as there are few public transport options.
