Can’t wait to go back

I hane been to Dubai with my friends, and we have booked our stay at Shangri-la Hotel Dubai. We have booked 3-rooms appartment. It has a huge living room with modern furniture but the TV was small to the living room and it wasn’t LCD. the master room very big one, and the bathroom well orgnized and full of space. the hotel was 10 out of 10

Amazing

I stayed on the 40th floor in the Horizon Club and was very impressed with how wonderful this hotel, room, pool, service, and overall experience was. I would definitely recommend this to others.

Not Impressed

Air conditioning of the hotel was not working properly. It was either too hot or too cold and I was sick for the entire stay at the hotel. The Hotel employee are not well trained. The food and coffee at the Horizon Club was low quality and I could not eat it.

Nice hotel

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. I stayed at the studio room which was really nice and spacious. The hotel is very clean and the environment is luxurious. I didnt like there food very much it was below average for such hotel. Also the service was little bit slowly. However, the hotel worth the money especially in Dubai prices and I recommend it for business and families trips.

Traveler's tip for business travelers

The hotel does not have own taxi service. Plan ahead for you engagements or you will be late. Sometime you need to go with a clean car provided by the hotel; this one does not have it!

Feeling at Home

Had to upgrade to an Exec Floor Suite for a surcharge. the room I initially booked smelled paint. The Suite was good. Requested the hotel to send me hotel car at the airport, the arrangement was great, arrived the hotel and evry body calls you by name starting from hotel doorman and get you to check in at your room without stopping at the reception desk. Good feeling of being at home.

I wish I could live there!!

I took the option of the executive upgrade which was a great addition. My days started with a faboulous breafast buffet that included hot and cold items plus eggs, pancakes etc. made to order was a great way to start my day and I was usually so full I skipped lunch. The evening happy hour was just as good and included hot appetizers, fruit, cheese, juices and open (mix it yourself) bar. Unlimited internet was a convienient perk and it seemed that the folks who were there for business liked the convenience of the private concierge. The room was actually too big for my liking but always promptly cleaned well. I assume every room has a copy of _Lost_Horizen_ which if you have not read it is a fantastic vacation read and of course tells the story of Shangri-La. I got a facial and massage at the in house spa and relaxed by the pool one evening. I can truely say that this hotel and its amenities were central to my having a WONDERFUL vacation.

Traveler's tip on getting the most out of your stay

The Shangri-La has a number of free shuttles to various malls and to a lovely beach resort. They are a great way to see a bit of Dubai for free.

Hotel

The hotel was very nice but to costley, for the size.

Traveler's tip on saving a few bucks

The room I purchased was the best room there but it was very very small? I would stay in another room there but not the best because they were all the same size.
