On arrival at 07.00 understandably the Club Room we had booked was not ready.
The lady on reception (so sorry don’t have her name) said she had a slightly more expensive room on the top floor (32) overlooking the sea, if we were interested and could check in. We took her up on the offer.
Our room was huge with a sofa and other seating in front of a ceiling to floor window, one of two windows.coffee machine, fresh drinking water, tea making facilities and a fridge.
Our bed……so comfortable and the pillows…….we slept so well every night.
Bathroom had large separate shower with a rainforest style shower. There was also a shower over the large bath and two sinks. Full complement of toiletries, robes and slippers.
Breakfast was amazing, so much choice for every nationality. We ate around 8.30/9 and had no issues with the restaurant being overly busy.
The pool area, when we were here at the end January, only got full sun from 12.30 to 15.00, the hotel is between other buildings, so if you are only here for the sun worth considering.
The hotel is spotlessly clean and every member of staff so helpful.
A 15 minute walk from the nearest metro and tram, DMCC. We took the metro to the Dubai Mall and Burj Khalifa, about 25 minutes and 2 minutes from the Dubai Mall stop. It’s 45 from the airport, the metro is so clean (no food or drink can’t be consumed on it) quick and easy to use given the traffic here.
The hotel is a 5 minute walk from the marina and 15 minutes from the public Bluewater beach. Various sun beds, towels, parasols can be rented. Costs include showers if needed. We paid £40 for one day for two very comfortable large sun beds, a parasol, two beach towels and 2 shower tokens.
Finally, I would like a special mention to Rashid who looked after us everyday in the Club Lounge (only available to Club room and above guests) and situated on the 31st floor.
Such a lovely gentleman and he looked after us so well. Rashid also told us about places to see and how to get to them.
The lounge is immaculate with great views over the sea, the food was varied, beautifully presented and fresh. Wide choice of drinks too.
We had a lovely 3 night stay.

We had a pleasant stay at the First Collection Dubai Manrina. The staff were incredibly helpful, kind and attentive, with a special mention to the gentleman who checked us in (from Azerbaijan), Alimul Shinda in the breakfast service, and Duncan, an exceptional concierge. The team are wonderfully hospitable. We received an upgraded room upon check-in, which was clean and comfortable. When we got to our room there was free water, a fruit plate and baklava - how delightful after a long trip! The breakfast had a variety of options and catered well to dietary requirements. The hotel is in a good location, close to the Metro station and Dubai Marina. We would definitely recommend to stay here and like to stay again in the future. Thank you.

My husband and I vacationed at the Wyndham Dubai Marina at the beginning of April, we had a pleasant experience: in the lobby there is a pleasant smell that can be felt throughout the hotel, stylish and modern renovation, for breakfast there is a larger selection of dishes, fruits and drinks) We were given a room on the 31st floor with a beautiful view of Dubai Marina 😍 The room has good air conditioning, a kettle, a coffee machine, an iron and board, and drinking water was brought in a glass bottle every day. We would like to especially thank Hasham for the daily cleaning, it was always tidy and clean!) The hotel location is ideal, a few minutes away from Dubai Marina, the metro is within walking distance, there are many shops and cafes nearby) The hotel provides a transfer to Soluna Beach from the Wyndham chain, entrance, Sun loungers and towels are provided free of charge. For my birthday I received a compliment from the hotel in the form of a cake ☺️ Overall impression 10 out of 10 👍🏼

Lovey hotel!the rooms were a good size and the beds were comfortable. I didn't get to use all it's amenities but the gym had enough to keep fit, the pool was large enough and the spa looked relaxing. The WiFi was strong and did not cut out during conference calls. I liked the location more than I expected; in the evenings I loved the 10 mins walk to the beach and watching the sunset. The hotel offers shuttle bus service to the metro station, mall and beach. I came across some outstanding hotel staff and I want to mention Ayanla in concierge, Joycelynn at breakfast and Irfan in housekeeping. Irfan made sure my room was clean, stocked up and comfortable. I was ill with a cold and the next day I noticed an extra box of tissues in the living room to save me going to the bedroom each time I needed more tissues... great attention to detail and care.

We are very glad that we chose this hotel. The close location to the Marina embankment and walking distance to the beach are the undeniable advantages of Wyndham Dubai Marina. Spacious rooms with good design, a wide range of air conditioning adjustments and a beautiful view of the embankment allowed us not only to have a pleasant time in the room, but also to enjoy the beauty of the city from above. The staff is polite, some speak excellent Russian. We would like to express our special gratitude to the young man Atiq, who not only cleaned our room perfectly every day, was always friendly, helped us contact the dry cleaner to return our clothes, and simply kept up the conversation. The breakfast menu is extensive, you can choose something to suit your taste, we were pleased with the two coffee machines.

We liked the hotel and fully met our expectations. Polite and multifunctional reception: they fulfill requests by room (top floor, balcony, 2 separate beds), check in early - immediately upon arrival, call a taxi, send correspondence, change currency. Good job security - discreetly, but vigilantly. Excellent room cleaning (the cleaner introduced himself (Azad) and said that he would service our room throughout our stay at the hotel, which he did an excellent job with). The room has good plumbing, good lighting and air conditioning, comfortable beds and mattresses, high-quality textiles, a floor-length mirror, a hairdryer and a safe, nothing to complain about. The view from the balcony was a little disappointing - towards the desalination plant (room 2804). The food is varied, fresh, high quality (European, Indian, Arabic cuisine), we took breakfast and dinner, everything was delicious. On the 2nd floor there is a nice open veranda where you can have breakfast and dinner. On Saturdays there is live music on the veranda from 9 pm - it was very pleasant to listen to it: guitar and male vocals. The location is good: near the Marina promenade, exchange office and supermarkets, in front of the hotel there is a government taxi rank. It's 20 minutes to the sea via an overpass, and it's also a 20-minute walk to the metro in a straight line. There are no ramps on the overpass, so walking to the beach with strollers and small children is not so convenient; the elderly may also find these 20-25 steps up and down unpleasant. You can walk to the Marina Mall and to the Blue Waters Island with a promenade, a Ferris wheel, shops, cafes, and a pier with pleasure boats nearby on the canal. We didn't use the hotel's pool and gym, but they are available. There is a free shuttle several times a day from the hotel to the metro, Marina Mall and Mall of the Emirates. A good service, but for 100 dirhams, is the opportunity to use the Saluna beach club on Palm Jumeirah. Transfer there at 10.30 and 11.30 and back at 17.30 (you can order food and drinks for half the amount, the price includes sunbeds and an umbrella on the beach, which overlooks the Marina skyscrapers and the Atlantis Hotel). A small nuance: the hotel does not have Russian-speaking staff, but we did not need it. We recommend the Wyndham Dubai Marina hotel.

There was a first trip to Dubai and a very successful one! The hotel really liked it, very modern, thought out in minutiae. Lived in a room without a balcony on the 6th floor overlooking the pool. Very beautiful and spacious room, insanely comfortable bed and pillows, barely got up in the morning😅 The hotel staff is very responsive and has helped with all questions. At the reception was the Russian-speaking Yevgeny, but he was only caught on the day of check-in and departure. So more questions were asked of English-speaking staff, no problems were encountered. Hotel reservations were with access to Soluna beach. Checked out twice, hotel pickup at 9:15 and return at 16:00. It took 25 minutes. Lots of sunbeds with umbrellas, changing rooms, showers, towels, pool bar, cafe on the grounds. Time has passed by unnoticed. The coastal area is limited to buoys, initially a little tense, but because there were few people on the beach and many in the pool were swimming, there was no discomfort.) The water temperature seemed a little cooler than on JBR, no waves We also went to the municipal beach, 15 minutes on foot, in the supermarket nearby bought a towel for the beach. Walking, of course, is better early in the morning, the sun is very active back in late September. Moved farther left on the beach. You can rent a sunbed with an umbrella, but the price bites: about 3,000 for one set. Towards the evening comes a lot of locals, so in this regard the beach on the palm tree (Soluna) was more winning and comfortable. But it is easier to get to the municipal, because for the transfer to the private you need to make an appointment in advance, in the evening you will no longer make an appointment for the next morning, at the peak of the season, you probably need to make a much advance reservation. I also wanted to mention the food system, I really liked it! There were breakfasts and dinners/dinners. Breakfast was always at the hotel (it is from 6:30 to 11:00), but lunch/dinner could be anywhere you wanted. There are about 20 restaurants and cafes in different areas where you can go to eat by voucher. Once dined at Soluna beach in Risen, beautiful interior and delicious food. You could choose between salad, main course and dessert. Desserts asked to be packed with them and the staff did not refuse it) Also went to dinner at the Jam Jars Cafe Bar outside the Millennium Hotel, street food worthwhile! While walking by Business Bay, they had dinner at Vyne. The hotel is well located by location: there is always a place to walk in the evening: both on the Marina itself and near Oka Dubai, near the subway for more far-flung journeys without the assistance of a taxi. In general, we were very satisfied with the holiday! I recommend this hotel for a visit!

We booked a standard room and decide on the hotel‘s direct offer for a more spacious & luxury room with a view to Marina from a small balcony when we checked in. The bed was comfy and the windows closed well so the highway and industrial complex behind the hotel making noises day & night had been cancelled.
The hotel is second row at Dubai Marina within walking distance to „The Walk“, JBR Beach or Bluewater Island.
We loved the possibilities to have a day at Soluna Beach Club on the Palm the hotel cooperates with. Great pool and nice beach. The free shuttle services to Soluna Beach Club, the nearest metro station DMCC and to Dubai Marina Mall or Mall of the Emirates is a great advantage for guests.
To Dubai downtown, the creek or the airport will be an hour ride by public transport or taxi/uber/private taxi.
The stuff was great and made us feel welcome and valued. Thanks to Bella & Kanan who made a late check out possible and access to the business room for my husband. Linda, Natalya & Duncan where lovely at the lobby to help with everything you need to know and get organized.
There a minor things we valued a bit less. The pool is very small and not nicely equipped, but Soluna Beach Club is much better to go for a swim and the breakfast room is more a canteen style so we didn’t use.

My son and I spent the whole of December in the Grand Suite, a large spacious room with a sea view and Marina View in different times. We love this hotel because of the service and location. The room cleaning was impeccable. We had breakfasts included in the Italian restaurant Alloro on the ground floor, so we enjoyed the variety of the buffet until 11 am, after getting up late. Special thanks to the waiter Sohon Anotor from the restaurant. He was always polite, friendly and helped with all questions. The bus from the hotel took us to Soluna Beach on the palm tree. Buses from the hotel also take tourists several times a day to Emirates Mall and the metro, which is very convenient. The hotel has a spa (sauna) and a heated pool, which was very useful in the winter. At the reception, Evgeniy often helped us, a super professional in all matters. Special thanks to him. We just happened to be there during the Christmas holidays and the hotel had festive events on this occasion. Santa Claus with gifts, a choir of hotel employees in gnome costumes :) who sang Christmas songs great. There were sweet treats in the rooms for Christmas and New Year, which made tourists very happy. On the 1st floor there is perfect The Blacksmith bar with the game zone, namely billiards and table football. Often spent time there. It's was great.
