The only reason why I booked this hotel is because it's a Holiday Inn. Bad decision. The hotel staff is not terribly friendly and it seems they were understaffed. The rooms are just ok. They are old and need renovating. There is an annoying night club on the first floor that plays loud music until 3am. I was on the... more

I had read quite a few reviews about the holiday inn and I must admit it worried me. I can honestly say we were pleasently surprised, it did not smell of old smoke. The bedroom was clean and large and quite well equipped. The hotel is not posh like you would expect in dubai but the location was really good... more

I stayed for two nights in Oct 07, overall an OK experience. Price was main factor, compared to hotels in Dubai that would have cost twice as much. I paid 500Dr / night, this is a high rate but was cancelable any time so I paid more for this convinence. The hotel is new so the property is quite clean... more

Although advertised as a 4-Star hotel, my guess that it is somewhere between a 2-3 star. I booked to stay for 2 nights but barely managed to stay for 14 hours. The hotel lobby was ridiculously small and smelled of tobacco. The property is understaffed and the staff at the Reception were ill-mannered. I went for an executive suite but... more

Not a bad hotel. Front desk was very helpfull and concierge knowledgable of the area and within in 10min organised a chauffer on short notice. During our stay we were not disturbed by any noise, maybe because we were on the business floor, however the our room lighting was poor, I had to open the drapes for more lighting. The... more

well......i was excited about my 4 nights in dubai, but i must say i'm not very impressed. On arrival, the porter was nice, couldnt help us enough, Reception staff was a bit off, not very smiley or happy to see a guest. i felt as though we'd put him out. Room was clean but basic and very dark. Bar staff... more

Arrived at 6am to book for two nights and were given a room within an hour which was a help as we had just flown in from Bangkok and were tired. The reception staff were pleasant. The room was big, well furnished and clean - not much of an outlook though. However the servicing of the room was poor. First... more

I have recently been staying at the Downtown Holiday Inn. It has been during the time of Arab Health Conference so Dubai all the hotels are full, so this was not our choice to stay here. I have stayed in many Holiday Inns worldwide and in no way does this compare with any I have stayed in. The hotel is... more

The Holiday Inn located in Deira Dubai is fairly good value. The rooms have good king sized beds and are clean. The location is not bad but you can get better value in the same area in my opinion. The front desk staff are effecient but not especially friendly but the bell staff are helpful. The very large bar on... more
