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.
