I have stayed in express by Holiday inn Internet City early Jan 2009 and one of the nicest simple standard rooms. The hotel atmosphere from the check-in until check out was great. It is really wonderful management to keep the place warm; friendly and very peaceful atmosphere.

i stayed there several times and all have been great. the rooms are very clean and front desk are friendly and helpfull. however, i could'nt underatand the big change in rate...Dec'07 i stayed for $100 while in Dec'07 it was above $275 !
location is great if you want to get away from Dubai traffic. many attraction points are close by not to mention the nearby petrol station which has a nice mini market and a fast food place.
highly recommended.

The Holiday Inn in Internet City is a hidden gem of Dubai. It's a great location for the Marina and the newly opened Walk by JBR. Mall of the Emirates is only 10 minutes dive away also. The rooms are well above the normal Holiday Inn rooms and the walk in shower is fab! The desk is large enough to comfortably work - and the tv is in a new plasma format. The staff are all friendly and willing to help out, considering how expensive the hotels in Dubai are – for a clean and comfortable base I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.

Good hotel for business in Internet City or Jebel Ali

Holyday Inn Internet City is ideal hotel for short business stay, if you have to work in Internet City of Jebel Ali. Far from City center, it is surely not good location to discover Dubai. There should be no good nor bad surprise, but service as often in Dubai can be erratic, rate is average and transfer from airport can take time and will increase the bill. As limousines are late, taxi will be best solution from DXB. Rooms are too dark for my taste, not that large but ok to sleep 2-3 days, restaurant not cheap, but you have no real choice.

Dec 3, 2008 | Trip type: Business, Solo travel

I arrived at this hotel less than a week ago, and I'm booked in until the end of December 2008.
The staff are all very friendly, courteous and helpful. Nothing is too much trouble.
The rooms are standard decor, with comfortable beds, a decent desk/workstation area, and a very soothing power shower.
Breakfast is slightly disappointing (probably because I'm booked in here for so long - the same limited choice for so many days!!!). There's a choice of breads, cereals, yoghurts, cheese, cold meat, and fresh fruit, plus juices and hot drinks (when the coffee machine hasn't broken down).
The hotel is not in the best of locations, and it is sometimes difficult to get a taxi, even if you ask reception or security to call you one (I waited for 45 minutes today, then gave up).
My biggest gripe is the internet access and the way it is charged. I bought 24 hours access - logged on and sent a couple of emails, then logged off the internet, all as per the compulsory pop-up box. I went to the bar for a couple of drinks before returning to my room. When I logged back on, the "meter" advised that I had only 21 hours and 45 minutes left, even though I'd only been on for 15 minutes earlier that evening. What is the point of having a button that says "Log off the internet" if, in fact, it does not stop the clock from counting down?? Come on guys, you must be able to offer your customers a better deal than this.
I'd welcome the opportunity to discuss this face to face with Mark (the General Manager).

Management response from Mark Gillings, General Manager
(Management representative)
Dec 4, 2008
Dear Bloboman

Dear Bloboman

Thank you for sharing your experience at The Express by Holiday Inn Dubai Internet City with us. I am most pleased that you are finding your stay with us very comfortable and that our staff are all very friendly, courteous and helpful.

With regards to the internet, when you buy a 24hour package you should be able to use it for 24 hours, It sounds to me that there could be a technical fault on your specific code that was issued to you. Please do ask for me at reception as I would be more than happy to meet you personally and resolve the internet concern for you.


Kind Regards

Mark Gillings
General Manager
