Stayed at the Holiday Inn Downtown for 3 nights before sailing out of Dubai. Check-in was quick and easy, our room was a standard room on the 6th floor and was clean and tidy, noise in general wasn't a problem. Staff were very friendly. Alcohol and Internet were expensive. There was no in room safe, but there were security deposit... More

I stay very often at hotels of the Holiday Inn/Intercontinental group and have to say that this is the best Holiday Inn I have stayed at in terms of service without a doubt. Very friendly and helpful. The hotel is conveniently located next to Al Rigga metro station, close to the Creek and the old(er) part of the city. I... More

I've been there in May , v.clean Hotel, good Service, nice rooms, and good location. Breakfast need a little improvements but it is fair. Girls in the lobby bar are friendly :) Price is cheap comparing to a 4starts hotel.

I've been staying in the Hotel for a short vacation with my friend. Honestly, I didn't expect to receive such a great service, a well selected and trained staff, tasty and fresh food. Room was always cleaned well, fresh towels and bedlinen, didn't need to leave tips for housekeeping to have it all :) The Hotel location also brings a... More

I have been staying at this Holiday Inn for business as well as vaction at least 5 night every 3-4 month over a period covering at least 4 years. With its location off of the main road, in a busy portion of town, you may be intially taken aback. Once inside the kind professional staff provide exemplary service. Am not... More

Room was normal holiday inn, clean quiet, comfortable with big bathroom and powerful shower. Rooftop... More

Stayed on that hotel for it's proximity to the old Dubai town so my mother could go very quickly to the old market in Deira Area. The fact is that this hotel is a little old and tired, also very much crammed between a very congested area. Not that bad, but there are plenty of hotels that are much better.

- No free Internet access, every day around 30$ - Night club noise in 2nd floor, makes sleeping uncomfortable - Less value than you pay for meals.
