I have stayed at Le Meridien Dubai Royal Club on a regular basis for some 6 years now and it has never failed to provide an excellent level of service. I have yet to find a hotel in Dubai that comes close for the value offered.
The room facilities are modern, generous, and the complementry breakfast and evening cocktails are welcome. Given its close proximity to the airport, you are rarley disturbed by aircraft noise. The low rise design and large gardens are a relief from the usual high rise hotel that makes you feel sealed within a steel and glass tube.The food and restaurant facitities are varied and extensive.
Any hotel lives and dies on the quality of its staff. At the Meridien they are exceptional, welcoming, friendly, professional and nothing is too much trouble, including several years ago, rescuing me from a broken down vehicle 50 miles from the hotel.

I do highly recommend that wonderful hotel. Everything is great, the staff is outstanding, permanently available and ready to support you, very professionnel, kind and friendly. the rooms are fantastic, in this hotel everything you need you can find.

Finding historic buildings in Dubai can prove quite a challenge owing to the relentless modernization the Emirate has succumbed to over the past few decades. Amidst the city's glistening towers and sweltering construction sites, the veritable Le Meridien stands out as a beacon of times gone by. This is brought home to the traveler in ways both good and bad. The good derives primarily from the fabulously unique low-level layout of the hotel, which forces one to navigate a seemingly unending labyrinth of hallways before arriving at one's room. The bad is that some of the rooms are, simply enough, showing their age. In places, the hotel just feels old and when old feels musty, that ain't such a good thing. On the plus side, the check-out is as efficient as I've experienced elsewhere and the location could scarcely be better if you're worried about missing a flight out of Terminal 1 or are simply looking for the nearest place to crash after a late night arrival into said facility. In my most recent stay, though, I didn't feel that the place offered the same value that it did a few years ago. The generous night-caps once served have since been discontinued and, as a result of a few other vague changes, some of the charm seem to have been lost. For under USD200, it's still a good deal (in Dubai, land of the insane hotel prices). For over that, I'd be inclined to look elsewhere.

From the moment we arrived until the moment we left, we were made to feel very welcome. May I take this opportunity to thank Damador Shirodkar and his team for making this birthday and anniversary celebration so very special. The generosity given to us was outstanding. With 18 restaurants to choose from, all serving great quality food at a reasonable cost.
Our days spent by the pool with swim up bar next to the Art and Tech rooms were most enjoyable, peaceful and relaxing.
You wouldn't imagine that you are only 5 minutes from the airport when ensconced in this beautiful oasis.
We would highly recommend this hotel and we look forward to returning at our earliest opportunity.

Thanks once again to Damador and his team.
