Location. Location. Location. And People.”

Location is what makes Vida Downtown a great choice for travelers. Right across it (whether you choose the ground level pedestrian lane or through the underground parking) is the entrance to the Burk Park and the picturesque way to the Dubai Mall. A block away is Manzil Souk, which has a Spinneys grocery store. All these can be accessed directly from a side door on the 1st floor of the hotel. Service is generally great and informative, from Mohammed at the front desk to the pool guy, especially the ladies a the restaurant. Room was spacious but I felt had design issues: no power outlet on coffee and kettle shelf, gaps on both sides of glass bathroom doors (meaning, this is not a good sharing room for business travelers), faucet on sink wobbly and sat too low on the sink.

Simply the best hotel I have stayed in!”

I will not be staying in any other hotel when I visit Dubai again. Vida blew me away with the service, attentitive staff, amazing location, amazing courtyard / pool / daybed area / the amazing restaurants within the hotel. We stayed here on our honeymoon and they surprised us with a cake the read honeymoon and also sent us a photo of the staff holding a congratulations sign. This hotel is an absolute must stay when traveling to Dubai, I cant speak highly enough!

Comfortable rooms and good service”

I was travelling with a colleague who stayed here before once, and upon check-in they welcomed him back. It's a small detail but effective. We had a comfortable stay, and even though we were late in checking out because our meeting went longer than expected the staff accommodated our circumstance. Location is excellent and I imagine that when the weather is better people can walk around the downtown area to the Burj and Dubai Mall. I would stay here again and its good value for the price.

Lovely hotel with good location”

had 1 night business trip to dubai and i choose qamardeen due to their value for money and good location at downtown burj. the hotel was very clean with friendly staff. internet connection was ready for my work. it is very near to dubai mall with only 10 minutes of walking. small swimming pool but good restaurant. taxi is not a problem, it is everywhere.

Different ”

Great stay in a unique hotel in the middle of a lovely city DUBAI centrally located next to the great Dubai mall and downtown Dubai . Comfortable rooms, friendly staff , great food and restaurants. I highly recommend this hotel.

An excellent place to stay.”

Located conveniently and a nice 20 minute walk to Dubai Mall-huge mall,(or limited hotel shuttle, but lots of taxis), which has everything, excellent restaurants& shops and every evening has musical fountain shows you can watch while dining. Entrance to go visit to the top of Burj Khalifa is from this mall. You can see this highest bldg from the hotel, depends where you are. The Hotel itself is very clean, staff are friendly and very helpful, has a nice small gym,delivered daily newspaper, 2 bottled water daily, and a bed turn down treat at night which I loved, a chocolate covered date w almond inside. The shower & bathroom is not so private, but no problem, one has a shower while the other person leaves the room for a few minutes. Breakfast Buffet is pricey but worth it, with a variety of fresh fruits and fresh juices,omelletes cooked to order, and lots of other stuff to suit different palate. Loved it. I will stay here again next time I visit. This is an excellent place for first time visitors and repeaters. Good value for the price

Very friendly service & great location”

it's quite refreshing to see such friendly service in dubai. the staff seems quite sincere when they smile or deal with us particularly the chinese/asian lady at the reception. room service is also very prompt. they do have to improve on the club sandwich though, very dry and tasteless. the hotel is a walking distance from dubai mall and souk al bahar, which is perfect for a weekend stopover. it's a cosy, quiet and personal hotel, not like most of the hotels in dubai which tends to be over the top and cold. the security guard at the back entrance is rude though. not all asian/chinese girls are 'call girls', he should be careful not to treat asian guests as one of them. otherwise, everything else was great. thank you qamardeen.

Great service in a boutique style hotel”

Excellent. My family and I really enjoyed our stay in this boutique style hotel in downtown Dubai. The breakfast in the hotel was amazing. I will surely return to this hotel in the future.

Wonderful hotel with arabian features”

It was my first visit to Dubai. I have been staying in 4 different hotels when i was there and it is our second honeymoon vacation. Amongs all 4 hotels, Qamarden is the best hotel. I love the building archetacture with the arabian features. That was my impression when i first enter the hotel area. However when we go into the hotel lobby, it is really wow with the welcomming smell, comfort sofa and while waiting for the check in process we have been serve with an orange juice and scrumptios dates. The hotel room is small but fantastic for a couple espacially for honeymooner. The transparent bath tub area is amazing and it is clean. The most memorable thing we will always remember is the strawberry dip with white cocolate as the complementary to the honeymooners. The restaurent located inside the hotel is also great. They serve all delicious food with fantastic services. Transportation also available at anytime. It was the most memorable vacation and Qamarden will be my first choice in the future.

Large rooms with very good service.”

We chose this hotel because we prefer smaller hotels which reflect the syle of the country they are in. Hotel bus was waiting for us at airport and our room was ready when we arrived. Check in was quick and efficient. Room more like an apartment, spotlessly clean and with everything we needed. Glass panel between bathroom and bedroom was 'different' but could be screened if wished by blind. Breakfast buffet offered excellent choice and there was a very good value 'set menu' with options for dinner, although the options were same both nights. Entrance offered good view of Burj Khalifa and the Dubai Mall with all its restaurants and shops was a 15 minute walk away. Can recommend this hotel if you want somewhere a bit quieter and cheaper but within easy walking distance of nightlife. There is an outside pool set amongst the gardens and a small gymn although we didn't have time to use them.

great hotel, great location”

this is a smaller boutique hotel that is within walking distance of the burj khalifa and dubai mall. it is clean, quiet, comfortable, and not as "over the top" as many hotels in dubai. staff were very pleasant, and we received free internet and coffee and tea in our room. newspaper was delivered every morning. pool area is small, but inviting. the only thing i did not like was the spinach quiche - too much spinach, not enough egg.

Lovely hotel”

the hotel and room is big and lovely. toilet is open style. free wifi. the staffs are helpful and friendly. welcome drink and deserts when we checked in. free apples are available at reception area. 10 mins walking distance to dubai mall. free shuttle bus (at scheduled time) to dubai mall and mall of emirates, and major place of interest. if only the hotel also provide free shuttle (2 ways) to the metro and airport.

Nice 4 star hotel in a good location”

If you are looking shopping, then this hotel is your choice not far away from Dubai mall and burj khalifa. The hotel offer clean modern style room with plasma tv offers many channels (showtime movies, super movies, kids channel, discovery channels) that every one likes. The weather is very hot and humid so you need a taxi to the mall that cost you 10 Dhr ( minimum charge). Over all if you want to save money with a good facility hotel then this hotel is the right choice. But if you are looking for a better hotel location regardless the price then Old town palace or the address 5 star hotels ( more than twice price) are better choice.

Awesome hotel”

We really loved our stay at the Qamardeen. It's in a great location, in the recently-completed "old" town, which is very pretty and packed with pools and cafes. The Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall are in walking distance. The hotel itself is very nicely decorated in "contemporary Arabic" style. The staff were all incredibly friendly. The rooms are not enormous (although they're also not poky) but they feel much larger than they are due to the glass-walled bathrooms. There's a really pretty pool area and the food was great, too. The only word of warning - with a glass-walled bathroom there's no privacy in the shower, so make sure you're friendly enough with your room-mate ;-) (The toilet is separate, with a frosted door.)

Great location, fantastic service, lovely hotel”

had a fantastic time with my family. the service and hospitality are outstanding, extremely polite, much attention to detail in every little thing that is done. as a guest, you really do feel well looked after. the location is just a stroll from the burj khalifa and the dubai mall, which was all we needed for our short stay. it is also close to the airport, so when we were heading back a taxi was readily available and for a very reasonable price. the room was also great, the beds and sheets very comfortable and very spacious. definitely recommended and would go back again!

Modern hotel, excellent service”

loved my stay with qarmadeen! rooms are nice, clean & modern, looks exactly the same in real life as in the website photos. front desk staff are very friendly & helpful. the business center is open 24 hours, with complimentary copier & printer services. there is free wifi in the lobby & in-room broadband service is also complimentary. also very near dubai mall, walking distance.

Beautiful Stay, Would Recommend to Everyone!”

I went to Dubai for 4 nights for a business trip. Decided to stay here because of its location and great review; I was not disappointed! The ambiance as a whole were extremely positive and luxurious. Check in was hassle free and the room was very clean with a good size comfortable bed. The pool was great, only wished it stays open at night as I often come back from meetings/shopping sprees past 7pm. Will definitely stay again and recommend to everyone!

Location, location, location!”

the qamardeen hotel was recommended by a friend who spent two years working in dubai and i couldn't stop thanking him after our arrival. as soon as you walk out of the door of the hotel, the scenery is dwarfed by the iconic burj khalifa. a short, lovely walk brings you buy the palace hotel, fountains and then to the dubai mall. the whole area looks like an arabic souk and is fantastic.

A good choice among many in Dubai”

The Qamadeen is located a short walk from the Dubai Mall complex. The location is great if you have stopped in Dubai to shop. The hotel is new, clean, and well designed. The rooms are very efficiently laid out. The hotel has a nice business center and internet in the rooms is free.

Great experience, rooms being remodeled this month”

I liked the experience. The location is great, the walk at night is memorable, free internet, nice atmosphere. The staff are totally friendly and helpful. I liked the stay and do plan to stay there again if ..... they: Remodel the rooms and design them a bit better. Give better privacy by installing better curtains and shades. Install reflective on the windows for better privacy and sun protection. They promised me to do all that, and they said they were starting on that during Oct 2012. The walk is great especially in the evening. Enjoy the walk along the Burj Boulivard, and walk to the tallest building in the world. It's a great experience. Also walk to The Dubai Mall and around it. Don't forget "The Old City" and "The Souq Al Bahr" (Sea Marketplace). Add an ice cream cone to the walk. It's quite romantic. You can dress in local clothing too. Less than $100 per couple. It's as close as it gets to an Arabian Night. I really recommend the adventure. My wife still talks about it.
