Detailed Reviews
Wanted to stay here always from the time I have started visiting expo and happen to get an opportunity now only, visited here as a family group, booked two rooms and had a wonderful experience overall, a bit tricky to reach the hotel location, there is GPS coordinates send by the hotel team which will guide you, still just need to be careful with that, there was parking right in the hotel premises itself and I happen to receive free valet service also, a small confusion in during the check in process apart from that process was smooth and we were given adjacent rooms, rooms was small but neat and minimalist with very minimum amenities only, there must have been at least a small cupboard in the room in my opinion, hair drier, ironing facility, kettle, even a small balcony with a wasl and expo site view was available which I felt was great. Dental and other kits u will get upon request, the best part is we can access the expo site and walk around the entire premises or can hire a e bike and drive around the whole place which is very quite and no one to disturb you of any sort, not sure if you can access any pavilions, we just walked around the entire place which was very quite, peaceful & refreshing with memories.
Breakfast was amazing, the best part is since it is outside the city limits place is very less crowded and restaurant also was less crowded during the mornings, my booking included breakfast also and there is bread options available like a buffet and others u can order anything from the breakfast menu and they will give it on your table, that's an amazing option actually..!
The reception area is a chic design and you can spend as much time as you want there and it never gets bores, so many places to click pictures also.
There is a pool which is 24 hours, bar available and roof top swimming pool also, pool I felt could have been made a little bit more better, it is less deep and someone tall can hardly have a proper swim in it, also it closes by 7pm which I felt was a bit too early.
Anyways I will be coming back here again, it was a pleasant experience and people who likes some silence, less crowd and peacefulness u can chose here.
And ya don't forget your Nostalgia stamp if you are an expo enthusiast..!!

Thank you so much #Dubai and Rove Expo Hotel for the amazing experience. I have been interacting with loads of your team including House Keeping Team - shout out Don from Nigeria.
The room is top notch organized, interaction and talking is an eye open to what’s in Nigeria and the how determination can help young people grow and prosper.
Don is a computer scientist who has had a detour to finance the dream! Mad respect from one computer engineer to the other #Gratitude #ExcellentService

Fantastic location - right in the heart of the Dubai EXPO. Good clean comfortable rooms even though they are small in size. Very friendly & smiling staff in the coffee shop and at the front desk. Housekeeping staff too was very good -- Rishu took exceptional care and made sure I was very comfortable in my room. This is definitely the right place to stay if you are visiting Dubai EXPO.

Great location for attending the Expo. You will be met at your car by a cart which will transport you and your luggage through the Expo entrance to the hotel. If you stay here, be prepared to pay four times the price of a basic room elsewhere in Dubai. Rooms are small, very minimalistic and not typical of a Marriott - you are definitely paying for the location. The sofa makes out to a small full size bed with a one inch mattress you can feel the springs through. Also, be sure and ask for a room away from the main stage area. Shows rehearsed until 3:30 in the morning and the music and lights kept us awake. The front desk said they had no control over the rehearsal hours and offered to move us to another room. We chose to move to a different (much nicer & less expensive) hotel for the remainder of our visit. Another weird thing - The hair dryer is plugged in at a dresser without a mirror nearby and cannot be moved.

This hotel is really unique : in the vert HEART of the expo site, which makes it real easy to visit the expo, and go for a short rest or shower between expo visits. The expo has a particular fun and modern vibe to it, and it irradiates to the hotel. Until the end of March 2022 this is 'the greatest show on earth', so I wouldn't hesitate to visit !
Now being on expo grounds make the approach to the hotel for check-inn a little more complicated with the luggage having to go through the security system of the expo, but once that is done, things are easy.
The hotel is fresh looking, young and modern, very functional, no complaints at all.
The rooms are equipped with plenty of USB sockets to easily charge equipment. There is a very decent TV, and the airco is powerful, the shower large, the furniture in good shape. The bedding is comfortable, and rooms are well serviced. Lounge music plays in the hotel corridors.
My room was next to the elevator shaft, which gave a whooshing noice when one of the elevators passed. But this sound was perfect to fall asleep, and simple earplugs can completely block it if you want. If you don't want this, request a room that does not have (per floor) the number 1.
Staff was helpful and vibrant, but remember this is a 4 star hotel, not a top 5 star hotel.
After the expo this hotel will be very 'out of the way' from Dubai, but during the expo the location is superb. In the hotel itself, and also close to the hotel, dozens of eateries are available.
The hotel has a swimming pool on the roof. The pool has a lifeguard present, and is very clean and well kept. No drinks are however available at the poolside.
The hotel was not cheap, but reasonable considering the very fresh infrastructure and the unsurpassed location.
If you are a real expo fan, this is THE hotel for you !

I stayed at the Rove Hotel for the evenings of 11 and 12 February 2022. I decided that I wanted to stay on site at the Expo so that I could make an early start to see as much of Expo 2020 Dubai as I could. The hotel was not cheap by any means – USD 302 per night without breakfast. The room is perfectly suitable for a short stay – quite comfortable actually. However, you should know that the room is VERY CLOSE to the Wasl Dome – literally right at the Dome – so you have no other choice but to be subjected to the music and other noise that goes on until all hours of the night. The music ended at 2AM on the Friday night and 1AM on the Saturday night. Now that is all well and good if you are out and about on site at Expo but after 12 hours of exploring Expo from 9AM all I wanted to do was sleep at 10PM. They even provide you with earplugs – these are really not effective.
The hotel itself is nice and efficient. The shuttle from the Mobility Gate is efficient. And the pool on the roof is a nice touch for an afternoon relaxation before you head back onto the Expo site.
Would I stay here again? Probably not, given the above-mentioned issues with the noise. But I will definitely stay at a hotel close to Expo (or drive from Abu Dhabi where I live) just so that I can visit this amazing site once again.

Hi Charles, Thank you for your feedback and stay! We are happy to hear that you enjoyed our services and facilities! Sad that noise disturbance from the Al Wasl Dome effected your overall experience. As discussed over the call, we are looking forward to welcoming you back and next time we’ll prepare for you the room on the opposite side of the Dome. Thank you and see you soon! #SafeRoving, Anna & team

The only and only reason one should stay at this hotel to be close to expo. The rooms are tiny and bathroom have a horrible design. You cannot open the shower door if the bathroom door is open.
The breakfast was good. It's basically an airport hotel, where people are only using the room to crash at night.

Very good experience, perfect location, amazing swimming pool. 2 comments : our windows were cleaned in the middle of the night -> should not happen in a hotel. In the Expo there are bins to recycle, would be good to recycle in hotel room as well with 3 bins.

It was good stay but can improve more. Location is excellent since it is inside Expo City where you can do walking around the now-empty pavilions and reminisce the Expo2020Dubai days.
Breakfast was a let down, limited options only "from the table" and then one order "from the kitchen". I think this is their way to combat food wastage which is okay in general but to paying guests, it is not worth it for the price we paid.
Pool water was salty, I don't know why. Isn't it supposed to be chlorine on pools and not salt? Somebody can explain this please, I just don't understand.
Rooms were okay, but we had better from previous hotels we visited.

Hello Rover Ryzfair30 👋 Thank you for taking your time to share your review. We are glad to see that your stay was good and you liked the location and it reminisce the Expo2020 days. I am sorry to learn your disappointment regarding breakfast, i will get in touch directly to you on information provided by you to understand further. Our pools use saltwater instead of chlorine. This makes water less harmful for your hair and skin, but also for the environment as we keep it free of chemicals Thank you again for sharing your valuable Review. We hope to see you again soon.

Spent a day at the Rove in order to explore expo city. The connecting rooms were very convenient for our family and though we could see part of the Al wasl dome , there was no disturbance once we closed the balcony doors. We had a busy evening exploring the expo city , the garden in the sky and the water feature and fire show. Had tickets to a couple of pavilions included and it was very interesting and informative. Overall well worth a stay to visit expo city ., though location is far away from the main areas of Dubai.
