Dubai to me can be compared to a plastic flower. Also, if a hotel has the gall to call itself anything higher than 5* (which, in global rating systems means nothing) I wouldn’t expect the following: - A charge for snacks and soft drinks from the mini bar. - No comp airport transfer - being told ‘no’ when asking to look at the facilities. - Seeing poolside loungers crammed together. - Decor that hasn’t been updated much in 20 years

I love the fact that we have 'ordinary' blokes like Tim giving us the real tour without the unnecessary bs that we're otherwise spoon-fed with when it comes to places like this. I know this world has all kinds and that some are so occupied with the luxurious lifestyle that they can't see beyond it. For me personally I can definitely appreciate beauty. But when it comes to luxury it only gets to a certain point until I just don't care anymore. At the end of the day even the most expensive high-end exclusive meal you could ever eat has turned into literal shit. And that's sort of the point, no matter how hard you try luxury isn't sustainable. It can perhaps be enjoyed for a few hours but then what? Do I actually get happier knowing that the handle I used to open the door costs 400 pounds rather than 40, or when adding things up it really doesn't matter?! All this being said, I've seen the Burj Al Arab from the beaches outside and now Tim has showed us what the inside looks like. I'm good. And thank you!

I agree with all of this. My favorite hotel stays have had small luxuries such as sashimi in the shape of roses for breakfast, beautiful landscaping outside, and lots of unique entertainment options. I’d worry about accidentally adding another thousand dollars on my bill by using the wrong items in my room if it came with extras that you had to pay for. A million tiny, extravagant courses for meals have never appealed to me. Make my stay pretty, comfortable, delicious, and fun and I’ll be delighted! I’ll enjoy myself more if I don’t feel like I have to pretend I’m fancy.

I've seen documentaries and quick presidential suite (or whatever they call their best suite) tours. But I never seen a tour of the Burj al Arab this in-depth. In lesser hotels, your suite could be considered a master suite. That pool area's heavenly. It's also sweet how you have a butler service for your room. Thanks for taking the time and everything to give us a first hand look into this exclusive experience.

[@brentshuffler1234]

TalialGhul, the butler-service and other perquisites are wonderful. The irony of this documentary is that the presenter bluffed his way through a lot of things, guessing how this works, and wondering what that was, when all that he had to do, literally, was to press one little button, and a butler would appear to explain everything and to make it simple and easy for him and then for the rest of us.

[@kkk-ff5th]

Instead of spending 50k on a wedding you could save the money and spend 10k to stay a week in this room and use the money you saved to explore and travel.

[@baiservole2298]

Agreed. I think it’s overrated. Cool building though! The mark of true luxury is that when you pay that much, things usually aren’t nickel and dimed. That’s one of the differences between Spirit airlines and Emirates first class- no one expects to get on it and need to ask if each thing costs extra. The fact that he had to keep asking.. 😅. Another mark of high luxury is that nothing about it should give you any suspicion of low quality. Just like I wouldn’t buy a birkin bag and see inconsistent or flawed stitching, this kind of room shouldn’t have gold finishes on one side, and ratty, over worn, stained appliances in the other.

[@SteveGeoghegan]

it appears a bit of a sham - they BUILT something that screams seven stars but then FILLED it with 3 star. For me Hands down the best service and luxury isnt always from the largest room. Stayed at the Taj in Mumbai. Easily as good.

I feel this way exactly. On rare, special occasions (WHEN saved for properly) it’s OK to spoil yourself.

[@MikeJF355]

I had the pleasure of staying here for a while a number of years ago. Apart from some of the furnishings the rooms are still exactly the same. If you add up all the free goodies you get, Hermes toiletries, chocolates, a decent bottle of wine per night etc the actual cost is not too bad. The architecture is stunning and the service excellent. There used to be a massive fountain spray on the water area with the little water jets, (they are supposed to represent fish) which used to shoot up and then cascade down with minimum splash. The underground seafood restaurant was great, you reached it via a small pretend submarine, the only problem being as you tuck into your fish, one of its brothers is looking at you through the glass. If you go to the beach, a buggy will take you there and when you come out of the water you get drinks and lavender scented towels given to you. It's nice to do it once.

This actually sold me. Tacky furnishings aside, the service is what matters.

[@lilyroza]

The food was mediocre and cold. Who needs all that gold and glitz? The TV didn't work. The place was empty. You go there and support an Islamic state, knowing that women and children are oppressed, but they provide tons of alcohol, so you're impressed. I'd like to know just how clean those furnishings really are. The phones should be clean, but maybe they have a nice clean sound, because older phones are often better functioning than new ones. Overall impression? I'd expect better accommodations in a mid range hotel. Between houses, I spent a month in a Red Roof Inn for less than $100 a night. I could have my pets with me, the service was warm and personable. A complimentary breakfast was provided in the dining area, the food was hot, surprisingly good, there was quite a variety and they served it for hours and hours. I also spent weeks at a Radisson hotel and it was lovely. It cost a little more, but still very reasonable. Some people think that the more they spend, the better the service, but it's not necessarily so.

We went for dinner there in the restaurant at the top. There was live piano and a singer, and the food was good, but ultra small portions. But for the experience of visiting and seeing the hotel, it was all worth it. We stayed at the Jumeirah Beach Hotel in an Ocean suite with a massive balcony overlooking the Burj Al Arab, and we could sit outside and watch the light shows that lit up that hotel all evening. We loved it so much we went on holiday there three times in total. Prices have rocketed though and we'd need to win the pools to go back! Big downside for me - staff were verging on disrespectful to women. The butler at our hotel was all over my husband, but totally ignored me and didn't even hold the door open for me after holding it for my husband. It literally swung back in my face! All talk at the front desk was directed to my husband. They didn't even make eye contact with me. It was really noticeable, and something i've not experienced anywhere else in the world...and I've travelled a lot.

Mirrors are an essential part of 1980's love motels. In fact it remained very popular within that branch to this day.

I'm so glad I subbed to you earlier and then saw this video because you gave a fair and real view with your opinions and experience as someone that isn't ultra wealthy. This is what makes you unique, because I have never come across this sort of content before.

I'd rather do what I did and flew business class to Australia, to go on a tour staying a variety of accomodation from backpackers, Youth Hostels and 4* hotels. I loved the reveiw and hope you got to take everthing that was non-chargeable from the room! Look forward to the next vlog - (BTW Primark swimmers - who can tell the difference? Seriously?!)

To be honest I would sooner stay at the Premier Inn, I would feel very out of place in that hotel. I found all that gold actually quite tacky, just too over the top for me. Those phones though, is that really the best they could do! Thanks Tim and I hope you took everything that was complementary in your room home with you!

If it is "only" 1,500 Pounds Sterling equivalent per night, then it is pocket change for the royalty, sheikhs, Presidents, Emperors, and other ridiculously wealthy people in the world. . . . . For others, it is like a month's salary . . . or 3 months . . . or 6 months . . . or a year's income for billions of people in the world....Yes, you would be shocked to know how many persons are still under U.S.$2 a day . . . and how many are under U.S.$5 a day . . . etc.

Having been watching for a long time, this has to be one of the best videos you have put up. As I'm sure others have said it was brilliantly edited and put together. I'm surprised they didn't give you a free stay or a discount!

Hi Tim. Brit in the UAE here. £1 is about 4.50 Dirham. We tend to round it up to 5. The sad thing is there are Premier Inns in London, more expensive than a 5🌟 Dubai hotel. Oh and if you are in the UAE, it's the Arabian Gulf.

Yeah that is true even in 2006 when we were there we got taken to the floor of our suite to check in and I don't think I had to do anything.

The price is comparable to what you paid for the Plaza in NYC. By comparison, this is a bargain. The perks are incredible. Incredibly clean. I would certainly save up and spend a month salary for one day here if I had the chance.

[@harbour9421]

Great review Tim. The price of £1500 a night does seems expensive until you compare it to a luxury hotel in London. A suite in London which wouldn’t come close to the suite you just stayed in,would start at around double that price and breakfast would be additional cost with little to no sunshine. If you put that suite into for example the Dorchester hotel in London you wouldn’t be getting any change from £10000 a night. I wonder if Spandau Ballet get complementary rooms there?
