I recently stayed at this hotel. The service at the reception is excellent. Breakfast is adequate. Very clean and neat rooms. The staff is friendly and efficient. Taxis are easy to get and close proximity to shopping areas. Would certainly recommend this place.

I wrote a mail for reservation and booking (with their bookingsform on their own HOTEL INTERNETWEBSITE on the 8TH of January 2008 TO THE HOTEL (Coral Deira in DUBAI) FOR 1 ROOM (5 NIGHTS from the 26th of JANUARY till the 31th of JANUARY ); According to there website , there where still rooms available . After making my choice I booked the room, together with my VISA cardnumber etc....
On that first mail : NO REPLY from the hotel;
I wrote a SECOND mail : no REPLY from the hotel
i wrote a THIRD mail :
AGAIN : NO ANSWER FROM THE HOTEL

After more than 1 week of no reply from the hotel (on the 17TH of JANUARY 2008), I PHONED TO THE HOTEL.....from BELGIUM.
The reservation desk said : We are already more than ONE MONTH fully booked ..... we even dont bother to look at OUR WEBSITE to see IF people are trying to make a reservation ..... since for that period it is already OVERBOOKED !!!!
Anyway, sorry for not answering your e-mail.
I said to that person : Is this ARABIC policy and hospitallity ..... ?
His answer : NO TIME .....
I must say..I have never had such A BAD experience when booking HOTELS, and I do book a lot of HOTELS for our COMPANY.
THIS IS A 5 STAR HOTEL !!!! INCREDIBLE, SHAMEFUL.....maybe with a 2 star hotel it can happen (although ..... )

The hotel is place in a nice and convenient position, very close to everything in dubai. Finding a hotel is very easy, hotel staff is very friendly.

Rooms are clean and convenient, breakfast ok. It is not exactly a 5 star hotel, but a very good 4 star one. Excellent value for the price. I'd definitely stay there again.

My husband and I just got back from our 6 night stay in Dubai. This was our first trip and really didn't know where to stay. The Coral Deira is a relatively small hotel. It advertises itself as a 5-Star but is really only a 4-Star at the most. The room was very nice and clean. The conceirge Aziz was fantastic. I always had him making arrangements or suggesting restaurants. Having a small hotel was good because the staff got to know you. The breakfast was very good. They had beef or veal bacon and sausages which I really didn't care for. We would always go up to the pool in the late afternoon and there was usually one one or two people there. The hotel is very close to the City Centre Mall which is a stop for the Hop-On Hop-Off bus. Do book one of the desert dune bashing safaris. That was probably the highlight of our trip. One day we went to the beach at the Coral Deira's sister hotel in Sharjah. I was a little disappointed with their beach though the hotel does bus you over and back. I would probably go to the public beach in Dubai. I would definately go back to Dubai though it is a long flight from the US.
