View of persian gulf fantastic. Great room. 5* qualtiy but as I was in summer I got a great price. Location is fine but in summer it was a bit hot for me to walk any distance. As you would expect Hotel ammenities were great and service excellent. Hotel efficiently arranged several trips for me.

Well you wont find a cheaper 5 star hotel in dubai thats for sure. however the hotel is poorly located unless you have you're own car, want to take taxis everywhere you go or are just here for buisness meetings, in which case it's perfect.

Good points - The rooms are great, lots of space, comfy bed, large tv with a good choice of tv channels. air-con here is great. The main
hotel is very stylish and a good place to people watch.

Bad points - The fresh fruit in my room however was rotten. the hotel
seems to sneakily put 20% on top of everyhting they charge (even the hotel room) so be careful and read the fine print! Also, if you're on
more of a budget there is a small and extrremley cheap well stocked supermarket attached to the hotel complex. a can of coke here will cost you 3 durrahms compared with 16 from the mini bar! so makes sense to nip down there and stock up for you're stay! There is also a
small bakery nearby, this is great for a cheap breakfast as well. i had their 'bread basket' including croisants etc on the first night and this was of very poor quality not to mention expensive. i would give this 3 stars and a half stars if i could. This is my second stay
but i think i will choose an alternative for my next stay.

We originally booked another hotel in Dubai but changed following TA reviewers advised that it had been surrounded by building works.
This resulted in more TA research and the decision to book the Hyatt and a Club floor room which included an Airport pickup and other access to club floor lounge. We were not disappointed one bit, in true Hyatt style this hotel delivers the goods in all respects. Whilst some reviewers have found its location out of the way, for us it was perfect as it provided great view over the Gulf back to the City from our room. It is easy 10 minute walking distance to the Gold Souk , 5 minutes to Fish Souk and 20 minutes to wharf area where you can take a relaxing tour of the creek on one of the many small boats waiting.
The Club Floor provides great value and the service provided by the attentive staff is the best that we have ever experienced and enjoyed in any Hotel in the world.
In a city that has a Grand Hyatt and a Park Hyatt as well ensures that the Hyatt Regency staff look after you well so that you don't get tempted to stray on your next visit. Eating options are many and good quality, we ate at the Italian Focaccia one night and had a good meal with service and ambiance to match. We also recommend the revolving restaurant on the 25th floor which serves a good buffet and views of Dubai. The bar is also an enjoyable place to have a quiet drink and enjoy a great view over the gulf,
Overall we could not fault the Hyatt and if your budget allows pay a bit extra and enjoy the benefits of the Club Floor Room.

I booked my stay through Emirates Airlines. There is much that is outstanding about the hotel. The room was huge, luxurious wiht a beautiful view of Dubai and the water nearby. The food was excellent and the coffees and hot chocolates to die for. Service at The Kitchen Restaurant was exceptional. The breakfast buffet in The Kitchen Restaurant, which was included in the room, rate was ample. After having breakfast, I was rarely hungry before 8 PM and then I only needed a light snack. As a result, I didn't get to try the revolving restaurant on the top floor for which this hotel is noted.

Service was good and the staff did their best to help me with some snags regarding changing my return reservation.

Adjoining the hotel is a small shopping centre which includes a disco and, believe it or not, an ice skating rink. The hotel staff did not tell me but I discovered a coffee shop upstairs where you could pick up your e-mail at a fraction of the cost of the hotel business centre. There is also a bank downstairs and money changing facility upstairs where you can get a more favourable exchange rate for your money than the hotel offers.

You can book desert safaris (not to be missed) and other tours at the hotel and a shuttle will come to pick you up.

The hotel is conveniently located within walking distance of some important historical sites. Nearby, you will find the gold souk and the Heritage Village which includes the Sheikh Saeed Al-Maktoum’s House, one of the oldest in Dubai and an example of traditional Dubai architecture. Unfortunately, due to the traffic pattern and underpasses, it can take 10 - 15 minutes to walk over there. Save it for a pleasant stroll in the cool of the evening.

In fact the traffic was the only drawback to this location. I realize that Dubai has grown very rapidly and is undergoing a construction boom. It will take time for the transportation system to catch up. Shopping is not nearby so you wil have to take a taxi. I was there during the January shopping month and the wait for taxis was LONG at times. If shopping is a major interest, you may want to stay at a beach location close to the Mall of the Emirates (where there is even believe it or not an indoor ski hill) for 2 or 3 nights for easier access. Most of the beach hotels offer regular shuttles to the mall so this will make shopping easier and give you a chance to unwind at the beach before you fly home.

One thing that is unique about this hotel is that you can take a 15 minute stroll to a local, really mult-cultural community, sample cuisine from around the world, including Ethiopian, and see the diversity that is beginning to unfold in this city. It's a side of Dubai you may not see if you stay in other areas.

Other than the taxi situation and the distance from some of the major shopping malls, I highly recommend this hotel.
