Just returned for a short three night stay at this hotel and can't praise it enough. The hotel is - as most in Dubai - very good - great resturants and nice rooms - but what gives the Radisson its edge is the staff. There are always lots of staff available at every location - resturants, bars and reception - and they were all professional, polite and helpful. Special thanks to Wasantha Dharmasena who went the extra for us and solved our reservation problem (my fault). It was a really great stay and we can't wait to return.

We were picked up at the airport in a Lexux SUV and were allowed early check-in (9:30 a.m.) The room was beautiful with two balconies, couch, incredible beds, t.v, wet bar, large bathroom and even a bidet! The hotel overlooks the creek and is a not too long walk to the souks. The restaurant (steakhouse) was excellent as was the pastry shop in the lobby. The staff was friendly and helpful. Large pool area and nice to sit on the balcony and watch the dhows cruise by. I'd definitely stay here again.

I have just returned from a weeks vacation in Dubai. I stayed at the Radisson SAS on Diera Creek where I was looked after very well. My room had a wonderful balcony view of the Creek where I enjoyed the sunsets every evening.

The service was excellent. The restaurants for lunch were perfect but breakfast was limited to our western tastes... Arabic burgers for Breakfast were passed-by for cereal, toast with fresh orange juice. The rooms were well kept but the bathrooms were small and a bit 1970's looking. The hotels 'British' themed bar called... 'The Pub', did not provide the friendly service that you might have expected but the lobby bar, 'Marbles' was a better option. When you stay in The Radisson you are spoilt for choice of restaurants... most looked very good but I decided to go to the Jumeirah area at the other end of the city most evenings for dinner. This leads me to my biggest issue with the Diera Creek area... the Radisson in Dubai is a great hotel but its now located in the WRONG end of Dubai for most tourists. Unless you are there on business, I strongly suggest that you find a hotel in the Jumeirah beach area close to all the other major hotels, shopping malls and restaurants.

I really enjoyed my stay here but when I return to Dubai... I'll probably stay closer to the tourist areas of Jumeirah.

Stayed here for 5 nights on a business trip. Booked through Expedia and when I got to the hotel, at 1am in the morning, was told there were no non-smoking rooms available, even though I had requested one when I booked. I said I couldnt sleep in a smoking room so they eventually caved and upgraded me to the club floor.

Room was ok, not very big, slightly tired and shabby, especially the bathroom. Got the free club breakfast which was OK although Im not a big breakfast eater so might suit other people better. Staff were ok, usual friendly housekeepers with slightly snooty front desk staff. Ate twice at the italian there (La Moda) which was nice food, nice staff and reasonable. There is a noodle bar called Yum which has good food but possibly the worst service and most unfriendly staff I think I have ever had before. Very very poor. Best place to eat is across the road at the Sheraton where there is a brilliant Indian place called Ashiana.

I doubt I will return here. If you have business here you are better on Sheik Zayeed road, if you want a holiday you are best on the beach at Jumeirah. This is on the wrong part of the city now, traffic to get anywhere apart from the Deira City Centre mall is horrendous and even to get to the DCC mall took around 15 minutes.

All in all this was expensive, in the wrong place and is bettered by all the newer hotels. Even if Radisson do one of their usual refits on the place the location is very poor.

Travelled on business to Fujairah for two days with wife and 14 year old son. Stayed in Dubai for 5 nights at the Radison. Fantastic service and facilities. Payed a littke extra for the Royal Club room. This entitled us to VIP breakfast, free afternnon tea and snacks. From 7 until 9 you can use the same facility on the 10th floor to have drinks (anything you want) with fantastic views over the city.
The staff really made our first stay in Dubai a great experience and then took us to the airport when we checked out.
I would recommend this hotel to anyone as it is central. Taxi's are cheap, cost us £7 to go to the Mall of Emirates and the skiing.
The 12 restaurants in the SAS are also ood value.
