It's a refreshing departure from typical hotels, offering a blend of nostalgia and modern comfort that's hard to find elsewhere. I found it worthwhile.”

Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Queen Elizabeth 2 Hotel from previous guests about their experience.

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Staying at the Queen Elizabeth 2 offers a unique experience immersed in maritime history, with interesting memorabilia and heritage tours that many guests appreciate. The signature rooms are surprisingly spacious and well-appointed, often featuring comfy beds and sea views, with the Burj Khalifa just a short taxi ride away. The buffet dinner is usually of a high standard, and the price for half board is considered reasonable; however, some guests have noted that the ship is beginning to show its age. The desserts are nice, and perfectly prepared poached eggs are a highlight at breakfast.
