What are check-in, room access and room conditions like at Ramada hotels in the UAE?

In one recent stay, a guest arrived around 12:40, left her luggage, had lunch and was shown to her room shortly afterwards rather than waiting for long. Luggage may be brought directly to the room.

Rooms can differ between towers: a room in Tower 2 may not have a balcony. One recent report found no mould, water stains or unusual odours, while furniture in many rooms is being updated through ongoing renovations.

If there is a cigarette smell in the corridor, nearby smoking rooms may be the cause. Ask reception promptly about a room move if alternatives are available.

At Ramada, the room key card is needed for elevator access as well as the guest room. During the first visits to the bar, beach and restaurant, staff may ask for the room number before recognizing guests later in the stay.
