We visited the Meydan after a day at the World Cup hoping to have a bite to eat, a few drinks and some coffee. What did we get...no food even after being told we could eat at the buffet next door. Then when we came back to Shiba bar to get drinks but no food, we got served incorrect drinks... More

Dear guest, Thank you for your detailed feedback. I will certainly look into the operations of our Shiba Bar and implement the appropriate corrective action. But as a personal explanation, all our venues and restaurants were previously pre-sold out during Dubai World Cup events but this year, we have decided to open the Shiba Bar for external guests.

I booked this hotel last minute for a good deal almost half price, on race event nights it must be very expensive but worth it I would imagine as you could watch all the action from your balcony if you didn't fancy joining the crowds in the pen. Check in and check out was excellent. All staff very helpful. Rooms... More

Prime Steak restaurant. It's sumptuous chairs greet you, it's lavish decor makes you feel like royalty. The regal steak was preceded by unusually high quality bread, the duck pâté was stunning, the choice of wine was to be admired, oh the steak......it could have been cut with a spoon, my medium rare filet was cooked to perfection.

The competition amongst hotels in Dubai is quite hot, so when a hotel doesn't make the grade, it shows. The Meydan is a good hotel under 2 circumstances: If you are there for the horse racing or If you are there for a conference. If you find yourself in neither of these 2 situations, stay somewhere else. It's distance from... More
