Queen Elizabeth 2

It’s a great experience and an interesting hotel. I love the fact that it’s an old CRUISE SHIP with so much of history and today this has been repurposed and it’s an amazing opportunity to enjoy the cruise life without the craziness of the deep sea. The breakfast is very nice so lots of options and it’s very tasty. Views from the ship decks are nice. Right now there’s lots of construction going on around the hotel, but I guess soon it will be even more beautiful than it’s already is. The staff are great and always helpful. I highly recommend this hotel and I do think we have to experience it at least once.

The good. Entertainment was great: The Candlelight Christmas concert was superb, and the Quiz & Bingo night at the Golden Lion was a lot of fun! The room was spacious and comfortable. The history of the vessel is obviously also really interesting. Parking is free and very close to the entrance. The average: for such an historic vessel, I like how the interior has been kept relatively the same, sometimes felt like a museum, which for history buffs was great. The upkeep could be better, though. Just basic cosmetic improvements inside and out would make a big difference. Most of the staff was friendly, however, they seemed insufficiently trained. The bad: check-in was an absolute nightmare. It appeared to take 25-30 minutes to check in each person, and there was a lot of confusion on the part of staff and guests alike. What was of serious concern was that due to a WiFi outage, access cards could not be assigned, which means each guest had to wait for 1 of the 3 people on board who had a master key to manually open each door. We then had to leave our door unlocked for the night while we were out which is obviously a major security concern. Breakfast was shambolic, the restaurant was dirty, there was a very disappointing choice of food and the quality was well short of a 4-star hotel. 2-star at best. I would like to stay again, but would do so reluctantly.

QE2 is truly a 5-star experience in every way. From the moment you arrive, the service, cleanliness, and attention to detail are outstanding. The rooms are luxurious, the restaurants are top quality, and the entire hotel feels vibrant and full of life. The swimming , pools, and facilities are perfect for families and couples alike. Staff are always friendly, helpful, and professional specially mr dipesh from Housekeeping Every corner of the hotel is beautifully maintained, and the overall atmosphere is unforgettable. If you want a perfect getaway with world-class service and endless activities, QE2 is absolutely the place to be. Highly recommended! Rooms: 5/5 | Service

I stayed at the Queen Elizabeth 2 Hotel for almost two weeks till now ,, im writing this review while im still there, and it is truly an unforgettable experience. The reception staff were incredibly kind and welcoming . special thanks to the reception team — they’ve been incredibly kind, helpful, and always make sure I’m comfortable. Especially Mary and aizada who once invited me for coffee — she’s truly one of the sweetest people I’ve met here. I always look forward to seeing her and Mary every morning; they both bring such warmth and kindness, and they always check on guests to make sure we’re comfortable and happy. Housekeeping was excellent, and every staff member I met was polite, friendly, and always ready to help. Once, I got lost inside the ship, and one of the staff kindly walked me all the way. When I thanked him, he smiled and said, “We’re here because of you.” Today, I was feeling down, but I was surprised by a call from room service offering me a complimentary sweet treat . it honestly made my day. The room rates are very reasonable, and I can’t even decide what I loved more , the staff, the place itself, or the whole experience. They truly respect guests’ privacy and do everything they can to make you comfortable. I’m genuinely grateful to everyone at this wonderful hotel — they made my stay so special.💛

The front desk team was excellent. We arrived at 2AM in the morning and they took care of us immediately. Also, the breakfast was absolutely delicious and amazing. The service and the quality and variety of the food was excellent. I did get lost trying to find my way around the boat a few times, but it was part of the experience. My room was surprisingly spacious, clean and comfortable and the room extras such as robe, shampoo etc... were very good. The gym was good but a few of the machines needed repairs but there was plenty of other ones to do. I did not use the pool, but it looked very cleaned, small and well-kept and also, it had a lifeguard. I did not mind the location because it is very easy to get an Uber but definitely far from the Dubai action. Also, I like the quiet in the morning's decks and reading areas. I found this hotel very unique, interesting and all around comfortable. Overall, I will definitely stay again at QE2 and I am recommending it to my friends.

The booking was made in August 2025 with the clear expectation of full access to the hotel and its facilities as paying guests. However, on our first day the Golden Lion Pub was closed due to filming. This was not communicated at any stage prior to arrival. As a result, we had nowhere suitable to go within the hotel until 18:30 when Lido opened and were effectively forced to leave the ship and sit in the mainland café area instead. This was particularly unacceptable as I was travelling with my 80-year-old parents, who were left bored, uncomfortable, and without a proper space to relax. This is not the standard of experience a hotel should be offering, especially when facilities are withdrawn without notice. I attempted to contact hotel management on four separate occasions by phone, with no calls answered beyond the receptionist. I then went to reception in person and was told that management were in a meeting and would contact me. No one ever did. Allowing filming that materially impacts guest access without prior communication shows very poor operational planning and customer care. The lack of response from management only compounded the issue. Overall, this reflects very poor management standards and a disappointing failure to deliver the paid-for guest experience.

## Outstanding Experience I recently had the pleasure of staying at this exceptional hotel, and I must say it exceeded all my expectations! From the warm welcome to the impeccable service, everything was top-notch. Thank Miss Mary Jean for being so polite at the reception counter and catering us so well. ## Highlights 1. *Luxurious rooms*: The room was spacious, elegant, and meticulously maintained. 2. *Exceptional service*: The staff were friendly, attentive, and always willing to help. 3. *Dining*: The hotel's restaurant served exquisite cuisine, and the breakfast buffet was impressive. ## Overall This hotel is a 5-star gem! I'd highly recommend it to anyone looking for a luxurious and memorable stay. Five stars isn't enough – I'd give it 10 stars if I could!

I recently visited the Queen Elizabeth 2 in Dubai, and it was an unforgettable experience. The food was absolutely amazing, full of flavor and beautifully presented. The vibe onboard was equally impressive—a perfect mix of elegance, history, and comfort. A special mention to Aneek, one of the Sri Lankan staff members in the dining area. He was incredibly genuine, warm, and professional. His hospitality truly elevated our experience and made us feel very welcomed. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a unique dining experience in Dubai! 🌟🚢
