The Dusit aims to give you a little chunk of Thailand for your stay in Dubai. It is very quiet, calm and mellow and this may appeal to some in this frenetic city. It's at the furthest end of the built-up portion of Sheikh Zayed Rd. One immediate positive was the shorter transfer time ex-DXB. Instead of getting snagged up on Sheikh Zayed Rd. there is a new-ish back road running parralel which gets you there double quick.

The rooms were very pretty and under-stated, above average on style points for Dubai. Standard rooms just fine for space. Good desk area by the window but expensive internet (100aed per day) did mount up. You get some cute shutters in the bathroom, which you can fling open while soaking in the tub if you want to chat with your room-mate/watch the telly or gawp at the view.

This room had the best air conditioning I can remember. I thought it was broken at first, but no, it was just super quiet.

The roof-top swimming pool was fun but be aware it is not particularly exposed and in shade for most of the day. (May or may not be a good thing). It was pretty quiet when I went up and a good sized pool. Has its own bar and you can get lunch there if you want.

Hotel bar was again quite mellow, but deserted and certainly, if you're alone, you'll feel like a plank with the constant attentiveness, bowing, praying hands etc. Ah yes, the regulation Piano Bar act too. Staff were very pleasant all round.

Well, that's the Dusit. Super quiet oasis of calm, very nice, slightly dull.

Stayed at the Dusit for 3 nights while attending a conference - the hotel is good but not at all remarkable. The rooms are a little dated and while they are adequate they are not spectacular. Dubai is a construction site at the moment - especially around the hotel...so the view from my room was not amazing.

Breakfast (room service) was okay. I did eat in the Thai restaurant and I would recommend it.

The Dusit Dubai is 5 star to a tee. With it's eclectic hotel design, and funky room keys, it's a place of wonder. The service is impeccable, and constant. Someone is always bowing, in the Thai sense, and making sure you are comfortable.

I highly recommend the lobby area, and the Nimnum, the waitress from the Deli, she'll fix you up an ice tea, the Thai way, and ensure you're well taken care of. Free WIFI in the lobby, and nomnal charge in the room.

Rooms are unique, and quite comfortable. Recommend upgrading to the Club rooms if you can, internet is included, as are drinks in the Club Lounge, which offers a Board room meeting area, and meeting areas off the beaten path at no additional charge.

On the rooftop is the pool, and work out facility. Treat 'em right, and they'll take good care of you.

MY Bar downstairs is a bit to ecclectic for me, personally, but the beer's cold, music is decent, and the Bartendresses will keep you entertained.

I have been staying many times in the Dusit, for me this is a great location, good hotel, good service, only the beds are not that comfortable.
