Travelled to Dubai for an interview and to catch up with old friends for a week. Directions provided by Holiday Inn were probably accurate but useless for a new arrival unfamilar with the city and driving a rental. Not their fault. If driving yourself, pay the extra and get the GPS (Satnav) with your car. Once you learn a few... more

This is one of the best 3 stars hotels I ever stayed in Dubai It’s new (open 2008), and very clean. The rooms are spacious, and have good amenities (coffee/ tea making tray, refrigerator, TV, safe box, etc.) The location is good, nice neighborhood, a lot of restaurants near the hotel. The hotel also provides free car parking in the... more

I have no complaints about the hotel or rooms, it is a standard holiday inn. However, I was so appauled by the service and rudeness of the staff to the point that i nearly left and went elsewhere. The check in staff told us that our pre booked and pre paid for room had not been paid for as the... more

Check in was fairly straightforward after a little confusion about the booking from the travel agents but that has happened before so I wasn't overly... more

There are some smaller shopping centers nearby - at a walking distance - but the hotel itself next to docks and building sites. The room was the smallest we... more

Hotel is fairly new and is extremely clean. The staff is helpful and courteous. The location is good, and there are a few good informal restaurants walking distance from the hotel. The place is not fancy, and the breakfast is just adequate. However with the unbelievable high prices of hotels in Dubai, this is a pretty good choice for business... more

Very clean, helpfull staff location not far from Jumeriah Road and open beach, plus free breakfast, if you looking for a bargain hotel, with no frills, this is the one. more

I would definitely recommend staying here if you’re looking to explore Dubai without breaking the bank. My friend and I (females in our twenties looking for a fun week away) stayed here in February and had an excellent time. The hotel staff, particularly security and in the restaurant, were extremely pleasant and polite and made us feel very welcome. The... more
