The Bottom Line
Rose Plaza Hotel is a practical Al Barsha base, particularly if you want to stay near Mall of the Emirates and its metro station. Reviews describe clean, comfortable rooms, some of them notably spacious, plus a quiet atmosphere that suits longer stays or a restful night. The hotel also has an outdoor pool, gym and sauna, with a buffet restaurant for breakfast and other meals.
Food gets mixed but useful feedback. The Iftar was praised for its variety, taste and value in a calm, uncrowded setting, while the attached restaurant’s breakfast buffet was described as small. One guest also found the food relatively expensive for small portions.
The restaurant beside the hotel, Spice Avenue, was appreciated for international food and a Pinoy menu. Service is the biggest variable. Many guests found reception, housekeeping and restaurant staff warm, attentive and quick to help; early check-in, late checkout and fast room-service responses were all reported.
However, other guests described rude check-in behaviour, incorrect reservation information and a serious privacy complaint involving room entry. Confirm your room type and smoking status in advance, order room service before 11pm, and remember that parking is self-service rather than valet.
