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.
