Where to stay in Dubai Emirate
Dubai Emirate hotels & accommodations
Excellent hotel, the staff are very friendly and helpful, they really know how to take care of their guests, apartments are very clean and in a very good condition, the price is a bit high, should include breakfast at least, but this is my favourite hotel in Dubai so far.
We actually missed the flight as we booked for 2 nights. But it’s ok. I choose Avani everytime when i come to Dubai. Hotel provide big room and very comfortable bed. Breakfast is very nice. I also left my luggage at the hotel and come back in 5 days later. Thanks Avani so much for my perfect stay.
We were certainly wowed by our large deluxe 2 bed apartment overlooking the marina. Staff were so attentive, polite and friendly throughout the hotel. We had two slight issues which were dealt with immediately to our satisfaction. When they heard it was our anniversary we arrived back in the evening to find a fabulous cake in our fridge, a really nice gesture. Room ser...
During the past 3 years I have stayed at 11 different hotel in Dubai (from Bur Dubai to Barsha to Discovery Gardens). This is probably "the best value for money" of the hotels that I have stayed at. Located close to ADBC metro station and with easy access to malls and other retail facilities at Bur Juman and Bur Dubai. The hotel rooms are larger than average and well e...
هذة الزيارة الثالثة للفندق، واوصي الجميع بتجربته والاستمتاع بالخدمات التي يوفرها. لقد جربت فنادق عديدة جداً في دبي وهذا افضلها. This is my third visit to for hotel, I do recommend this hotel to everyone to stay and enjoy the services it provides. I have stayed at many hotels in Dubai, this is the best . Special thanks to Ms Fatima Adel redsea-translation.com ...
Excellent. It was very easy to reach shopping malls in Dubai by metro, taxi or bus plus everything you would need from coffee shops, pharmacies, restaurants, rent a cars and supermarkets are only walking distance from the hotel. We will recommend the hotel to our friends. Believe me, the price per night at the hotel is very good compare to other hotels in Dubai at Shei...
My wife and I spent 10 days at La Verda at the end of November and were thrilled with our choice. Not only is the location the best in the marina, the marina is one of the best locations in Dubai to enjoy the city anaad culture. The views from our room on the 22nd floor were fabulous, the hotel was quiet, comfortable and the staff was excellent. We enjoyed breakfast ...
The hotel is located in the picturesque Jumeriah Lakes, which is a quiet neighborhood near Dubai Marina. Dubai Marina is a 20 minute walk, metro is a 15 minute walk. There are a few restaurants nearby and a very lovely promenade. The hotel staff are very friendly and helpful. The room we stayed in was a Superior, which was decently sized and had a large bathroom. T...

- Lobby is like 5 Star - hotel is new , few years old everything thing is fresh , and furniture is new - Restaurants are good - Location is not the best but close to main attractions , the hotel does provide shuttle buses to all attractions for free , not all hotels do that in Dubai - hotel is very clean - the staff is excellent on all levels except the manager , th...
This truly was one of the best hotels I have ever stayed at. I can find fault with all my accommodation but this truly ticked ALL the boxes. The position and views were stunning looking out at the Atlantic Hotel, The Palm and over the sea. The beach and beautiful 4 poster beds on the beach had towels rolled up and waiting for the guests to use, the accommodation they...
i love this hotel - it's beautiful and the views are stunning. the breakfast is good, the gym is great. the pool is a bit too small to do laps and there is no lobby or place to sit but the rooms get 10/10 the staff are excellent and the room service is of a very high quality. there are shuttle buses to the shopping areas and it's right next to the metro and taxis. i...

This is a luxury hotel good for both business travelers and sightseers. It's located on Sheikh Zayed road (the main highway in Dubai, is close to the metro, and allows for easy access in taxis to all areas of Dubai. It's only 15 minutes from the airport and 5 minutes by taxi to the Dubai Mall and the Burj Khalifa. It's not very close to the beach if you're looking for ...
I travel every month to Dubai, and I stayed in most of the good hotels in Dubai. But my favorite is Tulip. Staff is so professional & feel so homely. You will not feel that your in some other country. Thank you
This hotel in Dubai is situated near the crescent of The Palm, conveniently located near a variety of attractions and conveniences. The Village Center is located only five minutes from the Atlantis, The Palm, while the center of Dubai is only 20 minutes away. The Atlantis, The Palm is situated only 30 minutes from the Dubai International Airport Rooms at the hotel...
I'm so happy that I have chosen this hotel as my 1 night transit hotel in Dubai! Service is good however check-in a bit slow, have waited quite sometime for check in, room is big & clean, especially with the superb nice city view, recommended to everyone!
I stayed here with my wife and 6 yo. daughter for the New Years for 10 nights. It was beautiful and luxurious. All the regular rooms are Junior Suites with large bathroom. Good for the long stay because you don't feel claustrophobic and plenty of room to move around and place all your luggages and all the shopping. I didn't use much of the facilities, the pool was rath...
Star Metro is really one of the best hotel in Dubai, staff are really efficient and well trained,very friendly and very supportive especially Ms. May,she is always there to assist the clients with a smile. The rate is very affordable!! When we are in Dubai,only StarMetro Hotel we are staying as the location is very near to malls,restaurants and supermarkets.
The location of the hotel is central - would have been a two minute walk to The Dubai Mall however unfortunately there is a lot of construction happening around the hotel, so you have to walk around the block which only takes 10 minutes. The hotel also offers a free hourly shuttle service to the mall and back which is really convenient. The staff were very friendly, ...
We felt very lucky to have chosen this hotel to spend eight nights in while visiting Dubai. Until now with our frequent visits to Dubai since 1993, this hotel in our view was the best. We congratulate the manager, Mr Eltohamy who has made the hotel up to a high standard of services and guest satisfaction. The welcoming smile of the reception staff who were very helpful...
Everything was EXCELLENT at Marina Hotel Apartments, from location to their staff's hospitality. We booked for 6D5N. The apartment booked was huge with 2 spacious bedrooms with a bathroom each plus another toilet room and store room. Also spacious living area and balcony. So clean, feel like home. Perfect for families. The rooms and amenities are also exactly the same ...
These apartments represent good value for money, position is excellent, cleanliness is good , staff servicing the apartment were also very good. The only criticism I would make is that block 5 which is where we were put is undergoing refurbishment and is cluttered in some corridors with materials etc ( it appears health and safety rules don’t apply in Dubai ) i don’t t...
We arrived at the hotel at 230am with great welcome by the staff. The staff explained very well which room available for non-smoking as requested for 7D6N stayed. We had smooth check-in. The hotel just 5mins walking distance to Sharaf DG Metro, really easily accessible. 10-15mins walking distance to Mall of the Emirates. Supermarkets, pharmacies, saloons, spa, laundry ...
Located in Downtown Dubai, the Ramada Suites were fantastic! Restaurants are expensive in Dubai, so it was great having a fully fitted kitchen with a washing machine & dishwasher. They also provided us with tea & coffee daily as well as shampoos etc. In addition, they provided us with toothbrushes, sewing kit & a razor (great for the forgetful traveler!) The view from...
I highly recommend the Marco Polo Hotel in Dubai. In the Deira district, it offers beautiful rooms, great restaurants and attentive staff. Nice hotels in Dubai are usually expensive, not so with the Marco Polo. It's not close to the big attractions but the Metro system is a short can ride away. The neighborhood is colorful with many affordable middle eastern restauran...
I totally relied on info from the Internet on Dubai hotel apartments , without knowing where would be a good place to stay. It was a good thing I found this place, as it not only offered good reviews, but also a promotional rate on Agoda. Don't be fooled by the facade of this hotel as it may look crappy on the outside, but it's different on the inside. I booked a 2...
WOW incredibly hotel with absolute stunning view, nice food, nice interior and AMAZING STAFF!! WE cant express enough our gratitude for the way the staff treated us! Treated us as part of a family they honestly were incredible from the Front staff to the Eatry sections to the house keeping and Management!! A massive THANKYOU!! We will be back!!

Cheap places to stay in Dubai Emirate
If you want to stay for a night and have a good privacy, book this hotel. The location is just behind KFC near Baniyas Metro Station. There are a number of landmarks including Day to Day, 1-10, Souq and local restaurants nearby. The hotel can be better in terms of cleanliness. I saw some face powder on the coffee table just beside the bed. Hence, the cleaner tried to ...
It was really nice to be in Dubai and in this Hotel. Everything was perfect, I just can recommend it. ;) Tanks for you Montreal Hotel! Best regards from Hungary!
Seeing that this was the cheapest place in Dubai I didn't expect too much and I am glad that I didn't. This is not like most hostels, it's an apartment shared with other people living there but I didn't mind. There is a kitchen, a washing machine, balcony and across the street, there is a supermarket and on the 17th floor there is a gym and a pool that you can use for ...
The dubai city hostel is indeed the best place to stay for girls traveling alone. Since i was travelling alone and was quite nervous but when i stayed there i am really satisfied with respect to security and gentle and kind treatment of the owner.i personally suggest all the lone travelling girls to stay there if they are visiting dubai. Its safe, secure and has ever...
It was an excellent experience with roda hotel, thanks to all the staffs for that and for agoda, please don’t say that your price includes all taxes while there is one for tourism in Dubai
It's perfect hotel for men guests who wants to visit Dubai. Super price and location . It's located at just 2-3minute from the Al Riga metrostation and there is an cheap non-stop supermarket near the hotel and good cheap food restaurants fot dining. They cleaned our room every day and gave us an free internet as a bonus. It's not a good option only for group of girls ,...
It was great to stay here at Saffron Hotel in the short time I was in Dubai on my trip back to Manila after having attended a conference in Turkey. It had a nice location, just one block away from the main street that had various shops and restaurants. It was also nice that a tour company was based in its lobby and so it was easy to select and arrange its various varie...
Here, everything is wonderful. Spacious sitting room, large balcony, separate wardrobe area, fully equipped kitchen, cozy sofa set, comfortable bed, nice view, etc. The TV in room as well as the one in the sitting room were bit old. Wi-Fi was good. Service was good and all the staff including security people were amazing. You call for any assistance and it's right ther...
A great accommodation at really very good price, even for New year, we had it very cheap and it's location makes it super good. Moreover, hotel is well maintained and rooms are quite good. A good value of money it can be.
I stayed there for 4 weeks, everything was great, location, price, service especially lady manager (aleisha), she is very kind,friendly and helpful, it was my first time in dubai, I reached there before check time , she helped me and even after checking out, she help me in arranging taxi ...... it was great experience , next time I will surely booking this accommodatio...
I have already been in this hotel 5 times. Very friendly staff and only 10-15 mins. to walk to naif road, gold souk, spice souk and abra-station. Also internet place around the corner of the hotel. They also have a free hotel bus every day to the beach and shopping center. Will come back again when i come to Dubai.
I stayed from 10 Nov to 27 Nov (17 nights) 1) approx. 500m from Dubai Internet City Metro, but no shelter 2) no change of bedsheet, pillow case once a week but they’ll just leave on bed 3) bath towel must bring to reception for exchange 4) 14 pax sharing a single toilet/bath 5) WiFi inconsistent connectivity 6) Other guests are inconsiderate, making noise even at midni...
The hotel is at a good location with a number of Veg / Non-Veg restaurants around. The rooms are spacious and clean. Front office guys are very hospitable with a smile and greeting. The WiFi was free for me and was speedy enough to do the business work. The hotel is at a Walk-able distance for Al Salahuddin Metro station. I can not comment on the food at restaurants as...
This is not a hotel as this is a unit with beds inside. I don't recommend it .
Great location with reasonable price. And their staff is very friendly and nice.
During the time when we check-in on our hotel there was little problem on the system, which our booking cannot be found. Staff are patient and very helpful to us during this unexpected problem. Hotel is clean and they have given us an upgrade room they are also very attentive to our request. The only downside we had experience is that AC is not that cold and we can sme...
hotel its in a good location, no traffic jam, near to deira beach & hayat regency hotel. rooms are good, front desk staffs are very polite, friendly & informative. they have free wifi only in the lobby wish they could provide it in room. some good egyptian, irani & pakistani restaurant, pharmacy, 24hr super store are near by just in 1 min waking distance. hotel decora...
Its one of the worst hotels in dubai , althought the price says so , but i said let me give it a try . As soon as i reached the area it took me one hour to find a parking ,then i tried paying for the room by visa card , but their machine wasnt working , after checking in and entering the room , first thing i saw was two cockroachs roaming around !! After all , i we...
This hotel is well situated. just few walks to METRO STATION (PALM DEIRA). staff are very nice and they will be there to make your travel experience be the best.
this place is in Deira dubai, and is the cheapest option in Dubai. value for money. the hotel and facilities are just average. nightlife is very good.
I can't explain and finish the significance of sahar hotel I would just say it was amazing place and it's still I promise to recommend my colleagues to use it
hotel staff was very friendly and extremely helpful . I was actually shocked at how nice the room was when I got there... it was also deathly quiet too which was great. they have a pool although I didn't use it. the location is good also as its only 3 metro stops from the airport. get off at al riqqa station, and take exit 2... turn right and walk about 400m and it...
It was great to have hospitality from friendly staff name Valery. Firstly it was bit disappointed need to walk 700 meter from train station carrying my heavy bag pack. But once reach he will entertain you accordingly. Check out 12pm. Cheap restaurant all around Dubai Museum just walking distance
It is our 5th or 6th time to stay in this hotel and we are never disappointed. One of the decent reasonable prized hotel in Dubai. The only thing I can comment about is that the variety of food on breakfast seems to be decreasing. I hope brewed coffee is served over during breakfast rather than instant powder coffee.
I highly recommend the Marco Polo Hotel in Dubai. In the Deira district, it offers beautiful rooms, great restaurants and attentive staff. Nice hotels in Dubai are usually expensive, not so with the Marco Polo. It's not close to the big attractions but the Metro system is a short can ride away.

Room was spacious and clean. Hotel will provide you one complentary bottle of water on first day. They provide kattle, sugar and coffee powder. House keeping guy come every day for clean the room. Staffs are very friendly. Area is good beacuse you can find all the shops next to hotel. There are lots of supermarket, restautant and mobile shops. This hotel is really a th...
Perfect location - 20mins by taxi/Metro from DXB 3 mins walk from nearest Metro Station - Al Ras 5 mins walk from the Abra boat station and 10 mins of boat ride to Bur Dubai (for ele & chocolate, dry fruits shopping, Indian restaurants and for Dubai Museum ) Gold Souq - 5-8 mins walk. Friendly Staff - Staff was very friendly and helpful, Manager at reception was extr...
I traveled with my wife on this trip. Previous reviews I read advised on getting an upper floor because of the noise from the night club. I didn't experience disturbance as it ad at the uppermost floor. We arrived earlier than the usual checkin time and had to pay an additional fee for early check-in. Our stay was good, the hotel provides free WiFi and the room I go...
Before selecting this hotel i read lot of negative reviews but still i booked this hotel. But let me tell you my exp. with this hotel that it is very good .

Gloria Hotel is my highly recommend Hotel in Dubai. The staffs were nice & helpful. I request to change my room cause I always prefer the bright room easy for me to work in hotel with my laptop. Ms Abigail is one of the staff, as informed by her she will help me to put the note first cause the room was not available now. After I went back hotel in the evening she calle...
This is a new hotel, so everything is still good as brand new.. I got a room overlooking the creek, n the view is amazing at night.. The only problem is the required a marriage certificate to present on arrival.. I mean, first of all it's not mentioned anywhere in this website, 2nd of all who is on earth will be carrying that to go out, lastly that's none of their busi...
Checking in was quiet fast based on my experience... Staffs at this hotel are really nice, most especially the guy at the reception named Luis. He's very accommodating and attentive. It's a good thing for every hotel to have such employee. I would definitely recommend this hotel to everyone who wants to visit Dubai either for business or vacation purposes. The price is...
I was really pleased with my choice of hotel in Dubai. It's a 5 minute walk to the Mall of Emirates where you can also connect to the metro for other parts of the city. You can hail taxis outside the hotel easily and its only 10 minutes to the beach. The staff were very friendly and I have no complaints about the staff or service. The rooms are huge! We had a livin...
I have tried many hotels in Dubai and Villa Rotana is definitely my favourite one. Its centrally located, great view of the Burj Khalifa, friendly helpful staff, nice gym and great top deck pool. Rooms are reasonably spacious and always spotlessly clean. We had a one bedroom apartment with Atrium view and it had all the comforts needed. It was a Perfect stay! Its much ...
This is by no means one of the nicer hotels in Dubai, but for the price, you cannot beat it. Not only is it one of the very cheapest hotels in Dubai, it has a kitchenette, and is near to countless restaurants, pharmacys, and grocery stores. The only downfall for me is that there isn't any legitimate malls within walking distance, but that's only a short taxi-ride awa...
stayed here as part of a long stop-over in dubai. the hotel was conveniently located between airport (8 minute drive) and the business district (15 minute drive). also, two metro stops are within walking distance. the location makes that dubai marina is quite far. the view on dubai creek is great, and the gold and spice souk are only 10 minutes walking. the only negati...
First of all, I'd like to tell that this hotel is one of the best because of its staff, they are very professional, polite, helpful, good listeners, immediate assistance, the fastest check-in/check-out ever (5 Minutes Maximum), friendly and smiley at all times, simply they are above and beyond, that's more than enough to make any hotel above ranking than most of Dubai ...
We booked a Deluxe Studio for 4 nights and enjoyed our stay there tremendously. We were given Room 108, which has a fantastic water view. The room has a small kitchenette which comes complete with a fridge, cutleries, pots and pans, a toaster, cooker hob and hood. There is a supermarket nearby, just across the road, where we got fruits and some basic food. We did not h...
When I can get a good deal I prefer this place. I go back and forth to the States every other week. Great location for the Price. Full service apartments. Bell hops are great. Sometimes the front desk gets busy. Maybe more smiles would be appropriate for a 4 star. Should read Sheikh Mohammed new book on happiness etc.. Very nice facility, lobby, pool, health club etc...

It was 4 of us in family traveling to Dubai and the apartment was really spacious with a mini supermarket at the ground floor and walking distance to nearby mall. The house wasn't well equipped and we had to call to ask for slippers and towels but at least the breakfast was good. But you kinda have to take taxi everywhere since it's not nearby the train station.
when we first arrived we were just gob smacked at the beautiful view of the marina and also very happy that the doorman kindly directed us how to get to places as we've never been to dubai, we were also told the marina area was the newly developed area and is where most of the rich people live so this apartment has a classier look than most you find downtown. the room ...
Luxury hotels in Dubai Emirate
Excellent hotel, the staff are very friendly and helpful, they really know how to take care of their guests, apartments are very clean and in a very good condition, the price is a bit high, should include breakfast at least, but this is my favourite hotel in Dubai so far.
We actually missed the flight as we booked for 2 nights. But it’s ok. I choose Avani everytime when i come to Dubai. Hotel provide big room and very comfortable bed. Breakfast is very nice. I also left my luggage at the hotel and come back in 5 days later. Thanks Avani so much for my perfect stay.

We used this hotel as we had a 12 hour 'layover' before our next flight to Thailand.

beautifully presented hotel with spacious room including separate rooms for shower and separate bath, toilet, and vanity. the hotel offered free shuttle service to the major shopping malls. we relied on taxi's as the fares are so cheap. our arrival was the second week of ramadam, in hindsight, i would recommend you not visit dubai during this time. whilst out and about...
