al Murooj Rotana Hotel: Luxury Hotel at a Reasonable Price
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • On a business trip to Dubai in November 2005, I stayed for 3 days at al-Murooj Rotana Hotel. This was only a month after the hotel opened, so the staff was still figuring out the kinks. Otherwise, the hotel had excellent amenities and great rooms. It's centrally located off Sheikh Zayed Road. The only disadvantage is that it is not by the beach and has no views of the sea (some rooms have views of skyscrapers on Sheikh Zayed Rd). The greatest advantage is that it offers luxurious amenities at a much lower price than other luxury hotels in Dubai.

    I stayed here again in March, June and November 2006, and again in March 2007, and have generally been satisfied with the hotel. The service might have deteriorated a little and could certainly be improved. Still a good deal given the rising prices in Dubai. However, my recommendation is to stay at the Kempinski Hotel, which has similar prices, but far better quality.

    Le Meridien Dubai: Luxury Treat for Jet Lag   Compare Rates NEW!
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • I arrived at the Le Meridien Dubai in the early hours of the morning after a long flight from Malaysia. Not having enough sleep on the flight has caused me to be a little less enthusiastic about arriving in Dubai for the first time. However, some rest at this fine hotel has helped me recuperate and brought the spring back in my adventurous soul. The room is of a good size and has a very comfortable bed. If you are like me and can't sleep immediately, you can enjoy several cable TV channels on the 42" plasma TV from the bed.

    The breakfast is also outstanding. I feel so decadent having sampled many types of goodies on offer e.g eggs with salmon, tiramisu & freshly brewed coffee. Too bad my tummy wasn't big enough to sample the whole lot because there are so many "exotic" dishes to try.

    If you're into shopping, the hotel does provide a shuttle to the City Centre Mall and Gold Souk but it only leaves once a day. The hotel is also a stone's throw from the airport so you needn't worry about checking in late because it'll take you under 5 minutes tops to get there. Unfortunately, the hotel is undergoing some renovation so I cannot say much about the view but it looks like a complete hotel for business and transit. The staff are mostly from South East Asia so they are friendly and helpful whenever you meet them.

    Novotel World Trade Centre Dubai: Central,reasonable $$$ & view of Emirates Towers   Compare Rates NEW!
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • UNDER CONSTRUCTION

    - If you're staying on the higher floors, there's a chance you'll get a great view of the Emirates Towers.
    - The Blue Bar is a nice place to chat with friends over drinks.
    - Quite central...Right next to Sheikh Zayed, not too far away from the airport, also not too terrible far away from the Mall of the Emirates and DIC (however, a car/taxi is always required). The Emirates Towers are a walking distance though.

    new penninsula hotel: cheap and central
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • A simpe hotel, 2 stars only, in a very handy location - right by the bur dubai bus stand, so very convenient for moving about... I was a bit uneasy about this hotel, because of the bad reviews it has got - but I must say I was satisfied: it is not as dirty as they say (in fact it was quite clean) although not luxurious. For the price we paid, it suited us well.

    Oh, and really nice staff.

    The room was correct, clean and functional - not fancy, though. As for the breakfast: do skip it - it's indian-style and very greasy. Undrinkable coffee. It's only a few minutes from a carrefour supermarket, so we just used to buy our breakfast there the evening before.

  • Nice hotel in the centre of the city, on Nasser Square. so it has very comfortable location and you can easily get shopping or enjoy walking in the city center or in the embankment. Although the meal is not good in my opinion. Double room is USD 115 per night.

  • This option is a distance from town but this is Dubais cheapest accomodation and it is worth the trek out there. It is comfortable and offers family rooms. The rooms are clean and breakfast is included in the price.

  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • Although the peaceful of surrounding has disturbance from massive construction near by, Le Royal Meridien is definitely one of the recommended hotel to stay for those who want to enjoy beach, spa and resort.

    The hotel has beach access with variety of water sports, also they have life guard for beach and swimming pool. Attentive staff, good food, great spa. It's suitable for those who wish to pamper themselves.

    Also the hotel has shuttle bus to bring the guest to several destinations in Dubai (mainly shopping mal like Ibn Battuta, Mercatto, Wafi, etc)

    This hotel has been the world's only 7-stars all suites hotel and resorts and has become Dubai's main icon/landmark.

    This must be one of the most expensive hotel in the world. If you are not the hotel guests, an entrance fee of 200-250 Dirhams is applicable, even if you want to just look around inside the hotel.

    Built in man-made island off shore Dubai, in-suite swimming pools/jacuzzis, Skyview restaurant/bar at top floor of the hotel, underwater restaurant, and gold-made/plated furnishing for some suites.

  • The hotel is basically in the middle of a 24hr building site consiting of 30 or more tower blocks. The construction is 24 hours a day and can be heard from the the hotel roon, pool and beach. There is also a thick layer of dust in the air. If you book go to the hilton web site and you will only see one picture of the outside of the hotel..ask yourself why? Ask reservation the extent of the construction and you will not get the full story. The front desk had little sympathy as I am sure they have had numerous complaints.

    Park Hyatt Dubai: Park Hyatt Dubai
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • In the heart of the bustling Deira district, nestled behind the busy streets, sits a tranquil haven, known as Park Hyatt Dubai.

    Built with an exterior that brings to mind Morocco, with white-washed walls and hues of blue, its interior is more contemporary with a subtle Arabian feel. Check-in is generally slow, so take the time to admire the grand crystal light and 25 metre pool sitting amongst super-tall palm trees. Don’t even consider hauling your luggage any further than the front desk! A 10 Dhs tip to the porter is well worth it, as you virtually need a personal GPS just to find your room.

    The most acclaimed attribute, the stunning backdrop of the Dubai Gold & Yacht Club, is showcased from the terrace of each of the 225 rooms. Inside, open-plan rooms have a clean, modern feel with teak-wood finishes, LCD TV screens & DVD players.The icing of the cake has to be the egg-shaped bath adorned with an aromatic candle.

    As hard as it is to leave the serenity of your room, indulge yourself in a culinary journey of the world (you’ll certainly work up an appetite walking the spacious property in search of the 6 restaurants and bars). With a choice of Thai, European and Arabic cuisine, innovative open-plan kitchens guarantee an injection of drama and theatre into your dining experience. Unfortunately Café Arabesque doesn’t have anything to entertain you while you wait 45 minutes for 3 beers. Similar service can be expected at breakfast. After asking four waiters, I finally received my coffee.

    Along with great restaurants, the hotel also offers a plethora of activities to entice and amuse you. From the 24 hour state-of-the-art gym, 18 hole golf course, flood-lit driving range, to the Amara day spa, with 8 private treatment rooms all with private gardens, so peaceful you will forget you’re in frenetic Dubai.

    Park Hyatt Dubai is an amazing hotel, best suited for those who enjoy uber-modern luxury... with a few service flaws.
