This is a new hotel on the Sheikh Zayed Road. It is not on the beach but booked through Opodo it was about a third of th eprice of the Royal Mirage. You have a kitchen area and a large modern room with high quality fittings. there is a rooftop pool and a gymnasium with sauna, steambath and jacuzzi separately for men and women in their respective changing rooms. Buffet breakfast was reasonable and included in an Atrium restaurant on the ground floor. But beware the hotel does not serve alcohol so you will need to visit the Alamo, the Red Lion or Fibber McGees for a drink or bring your own back to the room. Choose a room at the back of th ehotel as you can just hear the hum of the traffic at the front of the hotel.

We went to dubai for a week and found this hotel to be very nice. Good clean rooms well kept lobby and efficiant staff always available. Location not great but always a taxi driving by.
Well reccomended.

This hotel is good particularly for a business visit as it is quite distant from the main attractions but it is almost 15 min by taxi from Mall of Emirates, and Deira City on the opposite site. It is close to the Mazaya Centre. The good point is taxi fares are cheap and it is a fact that no where is within walking distance. The hotel is far from the Dubai Creek or the beaches. The facility is very satisfactory, service and housekeeping are perfect. Staff is helpful and carefull and they take immediate action on all requests. There is a fitness room which is well equipped and there is wireless internet access free of charge. There is sufficient variety in breakfast. There is a fitness room which is well equipped and there is wireless internet access free of charge. I liked this hotel and would like to stay again as the price is the most convenient compared to the nearby hotels.

We have recently returned from a stay at Villa Rotana. As it was Ramadan we enjoyed a suite at reduced rates. The suites was very nice with fitted kitchenette with high quality fittings. The bed was very comfortable. Room service needs a bit of work as we ordered and no condiments were sent however they did bring when phoned. They dont seem to have any tomato sauce or mustard though! We were given a room on Shaikh Zayed road and at times could hear the traffic I would ask for a room not fronting this road in future. I think this is because the window of the kitchenette is not glazed as fully as the the rest of the suite.
