My wife and I stayed at the Rydges Plaza for 2 nights on a stop off from Mauritius and although by standards in Dubai it is relatively small, but UK standards it would be classed as large. Rooms are olde English style, but fairly large with a big bathroom and our room had huge full length windows with amazing views... more

Stayed two years running. Staff good and helpful. Couple of nice bars, particularly an Aussie one. Breakfast included in tariff and very plentiful. Central to most areas. Nothing really flash compared to some of the Dubia places but clean, comfortable with a price to match. Would class it about 4 star Australian standard Would stay there again. more

We stayed at the Rydges Plaza in Dubai for 2 nights at the end of our holiday to Sri Lanka. The Rydges Plaza is not a jaw dropping hotel as are a lot in Dubai but it is very impressive. It does not have a beach location and is sited on an extremely busy roundabout. This hotel is not for... more

We wanted to try Dubai while the shopping festival was on we had never been before, a friend had stopped at Rydges a few years ago and recommended we might look at it. Web site was good and accurate, important point join the Rydges priority club and save from memory 10% immediatley on accomodation Plus the card gives you discount... more

16yrs ago, I flew to Dubai to take part in the Dubai 7's - I'd arrived ahead of my fellow team-mates and we were all supposed to be staying in the Chicago Beach Hotel. When I got to arrivals a man from the Chicago Beach was waiting for me and with profuse apologies explained that the hotel was overbooked and... more

Bedroom was dark, dingy, depressing and didn't smell great. The internet connection was dial-up so, unless they fitted broadband since, no use for the business traveller. Breakfast was about OK, Italian is a kind of pizza restaurant, Aussie bar great, and a Keralese curry house which is spot on. Located on a noisy roundabout within walking distance of nowhere. Staff... more

My husband, 2 year old son, and I stayed at the Rydges Plaza in Dubai for one night in August on the way to the UK from Melbourne in a Deluxe Room, and then 3 nights in an Executive Room on the way back home to Melbourne in September. We found the Rydges to be a great hotel, which although... more

Stayed here for four nights after travelling back from the Maldives in Nov 06. First impressions were ok but that is probably after the excellent accomodation we had in the Maldives, saying that it grew on us very quickly and we thought it was also excellent by the time we checked out. Staff very friendly and helpful, everywhere clean and... more

I stayed at the Rydges Plaza for five nights and loved it. I liked the fact that it is so close to a residential area, the local shops were so much cheaper than the malls. I tried several of the restaurants and had fantastic meals every time. Room service and the buffet breakfasts were also way above what I expected.... more
