How to get a hotel room with a balcony in Dubai without paying extra?
Based on 1 discussion with 6 participants · Last activity: 5 days ago
TL;DR
Just ask at the hotel reception for a balcony room — you'll get one for free if there's an available unit not already reserved by guests who paid in advance for that category. Tipping is optional, not required — a polite request is often enough.
What the community said
This year guests were given a balcony room completely free — they simply asked at reception if there happened to be a free room in that category.

Last year, guests gave reception a small symbolic amount (not obligatory), and a free balcony room was found for them.

The hotel holds balcony rooms for guests who booked and paid for that category in advance for their dates; a free balcony room is given only if no such reservation exists for those dates.
