sheraton deira (refurbishment required)
by TripAdvisor Member wham
have just come back from 6night stay in Dubai.
stayed at Le royal meridian and then this one.
what a drop.
room very basic, no tea/coffee, only on request as this was a chargeable service, flimsy fruit basket everyday.
small pool and gym.
not as clean as i would expect and the bathrooms need an overhaul.
breakfast ok, did not stop for evening meals, far too many choices outside. only short drive to souks.
for a 4star could have done better.
would not go back.
may look for another city hotel, can anyone rec
one of Dubai's poorest values
by emmet7 about Sheraton Deira Towers
indifferent service, stale food served in club lounge, directly in flight path (actually felt as though you were on the runway), bars in hotel were actually cathouses, weak internet service, insisted I pay some mystery mini-bar charge (which I refused, though they insisted on fighting about it?) and nothing of interest in area. none I found

One of four Dubai Sheratons
by sabinasta about Sheraton Deira Hotel
The hotel was ok, even we had to ask another room. As the first one was noisy (ther is a bar where is live music every night until 2 a.m.). The staff was friendly, the breakfast so-so, the rooms are quite nice. The swimming pool is very small, it's on the roof and it's not really very nice. In the hotel is a congress hall, ballroom, disco, bars, restaurants, gym, sauna, massages, hairdresser, two shops. The position isn't very good, because it's far away from everything, except from the airport. Lots of extra facilities.

it was brilliant
by TripAdvisor Member hmaz
we just got back from our holiday at the sheraton deira last month, and we still miss it!!!! the hotel itself was brilliant in terms of tidyness and cleanliness. The staff were very kind and always had a smile on their faces and were always happy to help. The breakfast there was amazing and there was a great variety in foods.
the best thing about this hotel is its location, and that if your into trying new foods then you've got loads of restaurants across the road, including chinese, tamil, lebanese and indian.
Cheap and cheerful.
by TripAdvisor Member ronniedoll
We arrived at the Sheraton Deira with some minor hiccups with our axccomadation that was overlooked by our travel agaent, however the manager was quick to rectify the problem and we were greeted by a staff member with 2 very well deserved complimentary drinks on arrival. The staff bend over backwards fo you except at the pool on the rooftop as they just seem to sit and stare at the women all day. I watched one bloke who could not stop gorking at some Brazilian lady in a bikini. The food we ordered was cold from the poolside cafe and I would think that this was from the pool staff not caring about our order. The staff everywhere else was fantastic and were ever so helpful. The food was excellent, but I thought the room service prices were a bit over the top. There is a very quite internet room, cafe, giftshop and great resturant. We were magnificently served by a lady named Grace who always had a smile on her face and was there to greet us every night we had dinner there. We had no hesitation in tipping here on our last night! The room we were in was massive! The king size bed was incredible, however you are in the flight path of the airport, but honestly this is no distraction at all. A word of warning though, ask for a room well away from the nightclub as if you are near there you can hear music until 3am. We never heard a sound in the tower room. 2 thumbs up!!
Worst "5 star" hotel ever stayed in
by TripAdvisor Member BenDoha
I have done a lot of business travelling, and this was the second-worst "5 star" hotel I have ever stayed in. Sheraton should be ashamed for putting their name on this property.
I see many other people have enjoyed their stays, and my visit was in late 2004, so maybe things have improved. But I certainly would never risk going back, especially when there are so many other great hotels in Dubai.
Top 5 flaws (I could list 25):
- Asked the front desk to book me a rental car. They gave me a Nissan Maxima which had over 100,000km on it, packing tape holding the dashboard together, and was so old it didn't even have a drivers airbag.
- Corridors were as dark as dungeons and carpet was so worn it was literally threadbare
- Shower cycled between scalding hot and cold without touching the tap
- Under flight path of airport
- Walk out the front door and you are in one seedy neighbourhood. I normally like to wander around to find a local restaurant to eat at but gave up quickly on that idea.
Personally, my favourite hotel in Dubai is the Dusit, but that's on Sheikh Zayed Rd (a totally different part of town).
Nice hotel, mind the planes!
by TripAdvisor Member expectant customer
Overall, the hotel is not where you may expect a Sheraton. Area is a bit suburban and shabby, but shops and restaurants are nearby.
Reception was fine, lobby area OK, and by room facilities were good. Clean, comfortable, modern.
The problem was the room on the East side. Great for plane watching! I was woken early every morning by all of the Emirates flights on their final approach into DXB airport!
Restaurants good, choice and service. Breakfast fine, I had access to a members lounge, snacks and internet access.
Did not try: Pool
Pleasant enough hotel, mind where your room is though!
Sheraton only be name not service
by TripAdvisor Member UKtraveller19
We have just arrived back in the UK after a five day break in Dubai staying at the Sheraton desire and what a disappointment this hotel was. The Hotel facilities are OK but very basic the staff in the services area such as the coffee shop and restaurant area are very professional and friendly however we found the reception staff very rude and unprofessional. We had a confirmed room for two adults with a child cot/bed in the room. when we got there the reception staff told us that room only had a king size bed and our two year old son should share our bed when we asked for a cot a member of staff asked for an extra 100 dirams per night. I can't help but think this was the first of many scams to try and get extra money out of us.
We did get a cot after arguing but when it arrived it was so dirty with hair and stains all over we decided not to use it. The reception also charged my credit card 1000 dirams per room on checkin . I travel alot for business and I have never had to pay a deposit such as this before. I was travelling with nine other people and they were all so disappointed with this hotel.
Sheraton should be ashamed to put their name against this property.

Ramadan in Dubai
by samttt
Hi, I'm thinking about travelling to Dubai during the first week of Oct, which happens to be the Ramadan. Could any one tell me
1.whether there will be sales going on during that time?
2.where is the good area to stay at with easy access for shopping places?
Thx!!
RE: Ramadan in Dubai
by 37SingleMaleInDubai1
Maybe individual shops have sale but there is no official sale for the city.
Good places to stay would be Bur Dubai or Deira areas which have many hotels and easy access to all shopping locations.
RE: RE: Ramadan in Dubai
by samttt
hi, thx a lot for the info, it really helps. One more question, How is the Sheraton Deira? Is it good?
RE: RE: Ramadan in Dubai
by colin_bramso
Hi, welcome to VT.
As Amir said, Deira or Bur Dubai are probably the best places in a general sense. It really depends what shopping places you mean - modern malls with designer label stores or the local shopping areas - and what things you want to buy - gold, clothing, computers etc.
Sheraton Deira gets mixed reviews, some good some bad. It seems to be lower than normal Sheraton standards, four stars at best. I guess it depends what price you're paying and what level you expect.
RE: Ramadan in Dubai
by JessH
Easy access to shopping places must be Bur Dubai/Karama.
You are close to the malls in Deira, you have Bur Juman mall in Bur Dubai, the Karama shopping street (fake brands & souvenirs), the traditional souks are in Bur Dubai by the creek, and it's only a short drive to Jumeirah for more malls like Mercato shopping mall.
The newest malls are outside the city (Mall of the Emirates & Ibn Batutta Mall).
The Sheraton Deira does get mixed reviews, and is in a very conjested part of Deira... maybe a Deira hotel right by the creek (e.g. Carlton Tower Hotel) would be better?

dubai

going on vacation to dubai...would like responses on 4-5 star hotels with good rates..that are close to the shopping malls..best way to get around? areas to stay away from?..thanks
Re: dubai
by 37SingleMaleInDubai1
I leave you an URL of a site which includes most of 4 and 5 star hotels. After choosing the hotel you can contact them and find about their special rates or booking the hotel through agents that give good rates on the reservation. The URL is:
http://www.timeoutdubai.com/hotels/list_hotel.php?rowcnt=90&pg=0&alph=&srh=&star=&area=&type=&srt=name
Dubai is not that big and from any of the hotels you can get to the Shopping Malls, also they are spread all over Dubai so near to any hotel that you choose.
The best way to get arround is taxi which is cheap and reliable. Dubai is a very safe city and you dont need to worry about being in the wrong place, people are friendly and helpful and most speak english.
Take care and happy vacation.

Re: Re: dubai
by amiha
how much of a special rate are we talking about?
Re: dubai
by SharkyUAE
There are quite a few 4/5 star hotels close by to the City Center, including Sheraton, Intercontinental, Le Meridian etc. A Google search will reveal more and during summer the rates are low.
Taxi from the airport starts at AED20 but generally you can get around for 10-15
