Our Latest Testimonials and What Our Client Says
Check-in was smooth and fast, and the reception staff were very accommodating. We were assisted to our room by Anas, who was extremely helpful and thoughtful. He helped us with our luggage and took the time to orient us to the room, knowing it was our first stay. The best part was that he was smiling the entire time, which made us feel very welcome.
My favorite part of the hotel was the variety of activities available and the overall convenience. There is a small convenience store and a laundry facility on-site. Guests can also enjoy a PS5, foosball, and table tennis. The pool was warm and perfect for a swim.
At The Daily restaurant, we were greeted by Bassem at the counter. When he found out it was our first time, he took the time to explain the food selection and available options. There was a great variety of choices. May also made an excellent hot chocolate and was very accommodating throughout our visit. She regularly checked on us and made sure we had everything we needed.

The staff here were super helpful. Since I had a midnight flight, they allowed me a later checkout, which I really appreciated. Even after I checked out, there was a spacious area in the lobby with very comfortable sofas where I could stay and hang around.
I also used the laundry service, and the staff helped me with the process so I did not need to struggle with the machines. I also need to applaud the excellent food in the hotel restaurant. I had breakfast, lunch, and dinner there, and all of them were amazing. They could even tailor the food based on my taste.

Merry Christmas 🎄
Only suggestion: to prepare microve oven service for customers at the restaurant perhaps, currently at the convenient store, staff apparently got several retrictions on which food to be allowed to use their reheat service. To avoid any inconvenience, availability of reheat service at the hotel restaurant itself would be nice.
I especially want to mention a young man named Bassam who was working during breakfast. He was very attentive, kind, and always ready to help the guests. His friendly attitude really made the experience even better.
Overall, I highly recommend this hotel and appreciate the management for having such dedicated staff members like Bassam.
The cleanliness of the hotel was the very first thing I noticed, and it truly stood out. Everything was spotless, fresh, and well taken care of, which made my stay even more relaxing and comfortable.
I was so happy during my stay, and I can’t wait to come back again. Thank you, Roov Hotel, for such a beautiful experience! 🌟🏨💛
After a long flight, arriving here felt refreshing — a calm and peaceful environment. This place isn’t for those looking for beautiful views outside the hotel; it’s perfect for people who want to focus on business meetings, relaxation, or catching up with friends.
The breakfast was truly outstanding — honestly, what more does a traveler need?
There are good facilities for children as well, with proper arrangements for younger kids.
Nice and clean room, staff was truly helpful and friendly. Especially to mr. Ali who did check-in and out for me, very smooth and full of information about the facilities. He recommended also to use the complimentary bus to go to the airport as i need to go there to pick-up my wife.
Big thanks as well to Mr. Robert from Myanmar at “the Daily”who took care of my order and make sure that everything is alright. Fantastic Breakfast team completed the great experience. Two thumbs up to the arabic guy, did not noticed his name but definitely a nice guy who served my omelette and pancake for my wife along with his genuine smile. Thank you and see you next time Rove team.⭐️
Overall, I had a wonderful experience at the Rov City Center Hotel and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city. The location, amenities, and service were all top-notch, making it a truly enjoyable stay. If you're looking for a comfortable and convenient hotel, this is the place to be!

A special thank you to Nada at the reception for her kindness and professionalism — she went above and beyond to make our stay extra special. We truly appreciated her warm hospitality.
Overall, it was an amazing experience, and I would highly recommend Rove City Centre, Deira to anyone visiting Dubai. We can’t wait to come back again! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
We stayed for five nights, and from the moment we walked into the lobby, we were greeted by the hotel’s signature fragrance — so fresh and unique that I even asked the front desk what scent it was. They told me many guests ask the same question, but it’s their secret formula.
Location: Perfect! Just a 3-minute walk to the Metro (Red Line) and Deira City Centre Mall, which also has a Carrefour where we picked up groceries. Getting around Dubai was incredibly easy. The hotel also provides a free 24/7 airport shuttle, free lockers, and a spacious lobby with plenty of comfortable seating.
Staff: Every single staff member we met was friendly, helpful, and professional. Their warm hospitality really made us feel at home.
Rooms: Modern, spotless, and thoughtfully designed. While the rooms aren’t large, they make smart use of space and include everything you need for a comfortable stay.
Amenities: We loved the pool, the 24-hour gym, and the convenience store on-site (a bit pricey, but super convenient).
Rove City Centre has exceeded my expectations in every way. It will definitely be my top choice the next time I visit Dubai. Huge thanks to the management and staff, especially Yadanar and Zain, for their outstanding service — you made our stay unforgettable!
All of the staff we encountered were fantastic. A special thanks to Yadanar and Zain who went above and beyond in the name of service for us. I never felt like outstanding customer service was forced, rather it is part of the culture and it feels like everyone takes pride in being as helpful as possible. It is a really good feeling.
If you have never set foot inside a Rove hotel before, then you are in for an aromatic treat. They have an incredibly pleasing blend of fragrances that permeate through the lobby. It can be a bit much if you hang out in the lobby for a lengthy period. But when you arrive back at the hotel after a long day out in the sun, it is literally a breath of fresh air.
The rooms were very comfortable and the eco-friendly measures throughout were well implemented and not just a gimmick.
We would definitely book again at a Rove hotel when the opportunity arises.
It is almost a week here and it has been fantastic 👌.
The variety 😍 of food at the restaurant 😋 is great and the staff there are also nice. Am looking forward to pick some names to mention in my next remarks before I leave.
I HAVE BECOME A ROVER.
I must say its a clean place; Abid, the Cleaning staff supervisor ensured we had our rooms cleaned and tidied up everyday. He went above and beyond to make sure our cleaning needs are met.
I want to give a huge thank-you to Yadanar, Suzan, Robert, Bishnu and Bambhdur for making my stay truly special. They were all so kind, friendly, and genuinely caring - always ready with a smile and happy to help with anything I needed.
Their positive energy and professionalism made me feel completely at home. It’s people like them who turn a nice hotel stay into a memorable experience.
Big thanks again to all of you! You’re absolute stars! 🌟
The hotel offers great value for money — and to my surprise, they even provide a free airport shuttle service, which made the trip even more convenient.
A special thanks to Robert from the breakfast team. His friendliness and attentiveness truly stood out. He offered to prepare our coffee with coconut and almond milk, and that small, thoughtful gesture made our morning so heart-warming.
Thank you, Rove City Centre, for making our short stay feel so comfortable and cared for. We absolutely loved it and would be happy to return again! Also thank to Youness,Des and Alley for the good service too.
Ps: they have nice swimming pool and gym too.
From the moment I arrived, Ali made the check-in process seamless and welcoming. He greeted me with a warm smile, was incredibly courteous, and handled everything efficiently while still taking the time to explain the hotel amenities and answer my questions. His professional demeanor combined with a genuinely friendly attitude truly set the tone for a great stay.
What stood out the most was Ali’s willingness to go above and beyond. Whether it was helping with directions, arranging transport, or offering great local recommendations, he was always ready to assist with a positive and helpful attitude. It’s clear that he cares about guest experience and takes pride in his role.
Rove is known for its friendly, upbeat atmosphere, and Ali is a perfect example of that culture in action. He truly made me feel valued as a guest, and his service was one of the highlights of my stay.
Thank you, Ali, for your outstanding hospitality. I look forward to staying at Rove again!
A special mention to Robert from the breakfast buffet – he went above and beyond with his service. Always friendly, attentive, and quick to assist, he made mornings so much brighter. The breakfast selection was fresh and delicious, and Robert’s warm hospitality really stood out.
