33 relevant reviews

Guests repeatedly praise the hotel’s distinctive, carefully designed decor, vibrant lobby, characterful atmosphere, cleanliness, staff, restaurants, and location near the Museum of the Future and World Trade Center. However, some report noise, questionable daily cleaning, high prices, and impractical open or old-style showers, making it less suitable for guests seeking quiet, conventional business-hotel convenience.

All the restaurants are fantastic, and the location, right in front of the Museum of the Future and within walking distance to the World Trade Center, is superb.

★ 10.0Partner

Beautiful, Inspiring and easy-going hotel, a lot of nice details and gestures, it was enjoyable to spend few hours in the lobby with my laptop and coffee.

★ 8.0Partner

The atmosphere is very cool and professional at the same time….the lobby is full of people working and chatting and meeting creating the perfect vibe.

★ 10.0

The open design of shower looks great, but does not allow to isolate it from the room and to have a full steam shower experience.

★ 8.0

This is such a unique hotel, looks like every single corner of it has been carefully designed and crafted with detail, absolutely cool and beautiful.

★ 10.0

Convenience is a problem though, as the hotel had to sacrifice some of standard things to make it look much more appealing and unique.

★ 8.0

The attention to detail is stunning, with captivating memorabilia and art around every corner, making the hotel a true place of discovery.

★ 10.0Friends

Highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Dubai — it’s not just a place to stay, it’s a whole experience!

★ 10.0

Bottom line: nice experience, not a perfect fit for short business trips when you need standard high quality things fast.

★ 8.0

It's clear they've really thought about the customer experience and placed this at the core of everything they do.

★ 10.0

This hotel defies convention, seamlessly blending a home, workplace, bar, restaurant, and club into a vibrant yet relaxed atmosphere.

★ 10.0

In short, very expensive, happy to charge for non-existent upgrade, just ready to rip you off at any opportunity.

★ 4.0

The daily cleanliness is also questionable, as one day, we found a yellow stain in one of our towels.

★ 2.0Family with Children

The atmosphere is vibrant, stylish, and full of character — every corner of the hotel tells a story.

Staff are frequently praised as friendly, attentive, competent, and exceptionally helpful across reception, concierge, housekeeping, dining, and security, with Mimi, Ali, and Ahmed singled out. However, service is inconsistent: guests report long or incomplete check-ins, missed or delayed cleaning, absent luggage assistance, unhelpful breakfast staff, and one alleged manager threat.

Most important thing that made a difference is the great service from the staff, they were very helpful and attentive, the manager Ali went above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay.

★ 10.0

Next day the maintenance become near the room and I asked the front-desk to stop it (it was 11pm!), I offered a new room but packing and unpacking is no fun.

★ 8.0Partner

I had an issue with the manager called stanosh or something and he was threatened me that he will call tourism cops for no valid reason.

★ 2.0Friends

The team's festive spirit could use a boost, but a handful of individuals stood out for their enthusiasm – Helen, Nadia, Brendan, Maria, and Camil.

★ 10.0Partner

Try to find a staff member in the breakfast restaurant to smile is like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

★ 4.0Family

It's worth noting that the general manager's hands-on approach to operations adds an entertaining and interesting element to the overall experience.

★ 10.0Partner

Despite raising these issues, the experience didn’t improve, and I expected much better standards from a hotel of this reputation.

★ 2.0

The staff and service were exceptional from desk to dining to housekeeping to concierge (very attentive and alert.)

★ 10.0

A special thank you to Mimi, the security woman who went above and beyond to assist me.

★ 10.0

The cleaning service forgot to clean my room and then it took for ever to be done.

★ 4.0

Upon speaking with Ahmed again, he was shocked as that wasn’t the room he offered us.

★ 2.0Family with Children

I especially want to highlight the outstanding service I received from the security team.

★ 10.0

Her kindness, professionalism, and willingness to help truly made my experience even more memorable.

★ 10.0

The team works hard to anticipate and meet expectations - they suceed every time.

Staff is super nice and friendly, from front office, to customer relationships and concierge.

Rooms are repeatedly described as spacious, clean, uniquely decorated, and well equipped, with several guests praising the beds, toiletries, slippers, and complimentary minibar. Recurring drawbacks include severe nightclub or bar noise late into the night, construction disturbance, occasional poor cleaning, plumbing and temperature problems, awkward bathroom design, uncomfortable pillows, and limited water provision.

The room decor is fantastic too although the air con was very high and even after switching it off, it was still cold so I had to call someone to adjust the air vents.

★ 8.0

There is no outlet in the bathroom, so to use a blow dryer you have to stand close to the door and use a wardrobe mirror to dry your hair.

★ 8.0

The room has one of the most comfortable beds I ever used, but has very serious usability issues, nice room for Instagram but for rest somewhere else is needed.

★ 8.0Partner

The night club on the 6th floor is very loud till beyond midnight every night, and from my 5th floor room it felt like I was in the club.

★ 4.0

It felt as if we were in the middle of a concert (neon lights and extremely loud sounds) and we had our 3 year old kid trying to sleep.

★ 2.0Family with Children

I had to change rooms because of the constant noise from nearby construction, especially being placed on a low floor (first floor), which made it even worse.

★ 2.0

My spacious room with twin beds was surprisingly comfortable and fully equipped with an iron, ironing board, hairdryer, and delightful smelling shampoo, conditioner, and body wash.

★ 10.0Friends

On arrival I was told the room I had booked was not "a good one" and was proposed an upgrade for a further £40 per night.

★ 4.0

The room itself wasn’t properly cleaned — there were dirty bottles of water left behind, and it clearly hadn’t been checked before my arrival.

★ 2.0

While the rooms are spotless, I encountered some challenges with the curtain and hand spray, which were not user-friendly and seemed faulty.

★ 10.0Partner

The bathroom sink did not drain properly and appeared to have some mould, which suggested it may need replacing.

★ 6.0

Once I got to the room it was exactly what I had booked, so no upgrade at all.

★ 4.0

The bedroom was nicely decorated and even the soap smelled delicious and was of great quality !

★ 10.0

The room was facing the Museum of the Future and there was a party going on there.

But Wisdom gave us the same Glamping Room, and the new room was super dirty.

★ 2.0Family with Children

However the room was very noisy due to the bar on the higher level.

Breakfast: What guests say

Breakfast buffet is massive, but please note, they are very strict on end time as they need to clear tables as the hotel breakfast area is situated in the tandoor Tina Indian restaurant within the hotel.

★ 10.0Friends

We then had issues with being charged for breakfast when it was included in the rate.

★ 4.0Family

Breakfast waiting times were disappointing, and the staff during breakfast seemed very rushed off their feet.

★ 8.0

Then was charged for coffee in the morning, as my upgraded room now didn't include breakfast.

Distinctive, stylish facilities include a lively pool overlooking the Museum of the Future, an impressive Technogym gym, Monkey Bar cocktails, arcade, library, vinyl lounge, and complimentary minibar replenished every three days. However, loud events reportedly continue until 3 AM, while some rooms had bathroom odors, visible dust, inadequate drinking water, and hotel taxi pricing far above Uber.

Super cool design of every part of the hotel, from lobby, restaurants, pool, gym to the vynil lounge, the free arcade and the library

★ 10.0

If you call the same car via Uber, a trip that costs 40 AED will cost 100 AED if booked through the hotel.

★ 6.0

We noticed that the rooms were not clean, as dust bunnies under the beds and in other hidden areas were clearly visible.

★ 6.0

This hotel is very unique and quirky and I loved all the different spaces you could go to and chill out.

★ 8.0

Out of nowhere, they blast loud music at the hotel between midnight and 3 AM, hosting events in empty restaurants.

★ 6.0

If we are trying to protect the environment, this should be one of the last things to change or improve.

★ 6.0

The complimentary mini bar is a nice surprise (replenished every 3 days) and was water fully replenished every day.

★ 10.0Friends

I don’t understand why these over-the-top events are prioritized when guests are unable to sleep due to the noise.

★ 6.0

The water provided in the rooms is very inadequate and doesn’t give the impression that it’s meant for drinking.

★ 6.0

The pool area had a fantastic vibe, with great music and attentive staff ensuring a fun atmosphere.

★ 10.0Friends

In other words, cars belonging to the hotel are also used as taxis through local ride-hailing apps.

The music continues until 3 AM, even though no one is attending or participating.

The hotel’s taxi service is quite strange because it also operates with Uber.

Facilities are superb, specially the swimming pool facing the Museum of the Future.

Check-in / Check-out: What guests say

View 25hours Hotel Dubai One Central

7 relevant reviews

Staff are often praised for exceptional customer care and efforts to reduce delays, but check-in and check-out frequently involve long queues, understaffing, and luggage assistance problems. Reported issues include overbooking without alternative accommodation, assignment to an occupied room, room changes near maintenance, confusing paid-upgrade offers, and upfront payment for room service.

Only slight concern was due to only having one member of staff on reception I queued for 25 mins to check out but other staff did intervene to try and help and eventually one was able to complete the process in the back office.

★ 10.0

The front desk employee (Wisdom) then claimed that he already gave us an upgrade to a Glamping Room, which was what we reserved in the first place, and that he’s giving us the best room.

★ 2.0Family with Children

When we first checked in, we were offered an upgrade for a smaller fee, even though, as an Expedia Gold VIP member, we’re supposed to receive a free upgrade.

★ 2.0Family with Children

Check-in and check-out processes posed a bit of a challenge, especially with only two staff members at the desk on Christmas Day.

★ 10.0Partner

Upon checking-in (was 6pm) I asked to replace the room with another one far from the maintenance and I got one,

★ 8.0Partner

We were upgraded eventually, after carrying our child and luggage into three different rooms in the middle of the night.

★ 2.0Family with Children

If you’re ordering room service, you have to pay upfront and not keep it until checkout like any other hotel.

★ 2.0Family with Children

The hotel had overbooked by more than a few rooms, so not all of us had rooms to stay
