I booked a night at Tumbi Hotel on the Palm because I had friends staying nearby at the Fairmont, just a couple of hundred metres away. I live in Dubai, so I wasn’t looking to splurge on a resort-style stay. I wanted something convenient, comfortable, and affordable. Tumbi Hotel was exactly that, a great boutique style hotel.
The hotel is new, having only opened earlier this year, and it feels fresh and well put together. The staff were professional and welcoming. At check-in, Mary at the front desk upgraded my room, which I really appreciated. Valet parking was included, and my bag was brought up to the room for me, which was a nice touch.
The room itself was well designed, very stylish and comfortable (with lotta of big mirrors). It wasn’t huge, but it was more than enough space for a solo stay. The furnishings were tasteful, the rain-style shower was great, and bottled water was already provided in the room. There was a mini fridge, though it wasn’t stocked, and there were all the usual amenities you’d expect.
While the room did not have a major view, I was on the ninth floor and had a quiet outlook onto a neighboring building. There was no road noise or construction nearby, and I could even see a sliver of water if I looked to the side. Given the location, it was easy to get in and out of the hotel by car. It’s also just a short walk to the West Palm boardwalk and beach area.
Breakfast was included in the room rate and was available until 11am, though I didn’t make it down in time. I was, however, granted a late checkout until 1pm, which made for a very relaxed departure.
One small drawback was the television. It only had local free-to-air channels and no cable or international options. I didn’t figure out how to use the casting feature either.
Overall, this was an excellent value stay. For a Friday night on the Palm, the price was very affordable. If you’re a Dubai resident looking for a short stay on the Palm without the high-end price tag, this hotel is a smart and comfortable choice. I would definitely stay here again.
