we booked a 10 night stay over xmas with my mother-in law, husband and 3 children aged 12, 6 and a 2 year old toddler.

This was my second stay in Dubai, the last being in August when me and my husband celebrated our wedding anniversary, we stayed at the beautiful Ritz Carton on Jumeira Beach.

Anyway, back to my review! We arrived at the Novotel at 0700 hours, as it was Christmas Eve the hotel was very busy. We'd requested
inter-connecting rooms and was told that we'd have to wait until Mid-day as the rooms were occupied. by 10.00 am the rooms were ready which was great as officially check-in was not until
2 pm. The rooms are clean, modern and comfortable. The hotel is not as plush as the jumeira beach hotels but I would say it is definitely worthy 0f it's 4 stars! It's a classy place to stay by anyone's standards and I consider mine to be high!

Room service was speedy and the food was of a high standard without being extortionate. £10 for a proper dinner isn't bad! The beauty of this hotel is it's location, it was literally 10-15 minutes taxi ride from anywhere. The taxis are so cheap that you won't find that you're spending loads on travelling.

I'm returning to dubai with my husband in May and we're staying at the intercontinental in dubai festival city, simply because Novotel didn't come up in the list of hotels and we like to try new places especially as every hotel in Dubai is so individual.

To sum up, the Novotel is a classy hotel with great facilities for the business traveller and famillies alike, although if you are looking for relaxation, and not to shop til you drop, sight see, etc then this hotel wouldn't be suited for you. When we went with the children we wanted to show them everything Dubai had to offer as we'd done a beach holiday with them and thought we'd do something different!

Hope this has been helpful!

upon arriving, we thought we turned up at the wrong hotel simply becuase it was a lot more nicer in person! from checking in, the rooms, room service, the hotel bar and the swimming pool, they where all fantastic. really nice throughout and made our week very enjoyable.

Great location as one of the few areas in Dubai that has been completed , so no noise or views of cranes. Central location! taxi's very cheap in Dubai.
Courtesy bus provided to Airport and Malls. Theme nights in the restaurant each evening where you can pay a little extra to include drinks. Friday is BBQ evening! Lovely pool area and sun beds! Coffee shop in the reception area great!

Hi, myself & 8 others stayed in the Novotel World Trade Centre in February for 5 nights. We had a fantastic stay in this hotel and the staff were absolutely fantastic, very friendly and helpful and nothing was a problem. We booked some trips also with the hotel for the Dhow Cruise and the Dessert Safari and it was done in no time at all. The pool area is gorgeous and again if you want to move your sunbed there is someone on hand to do it for you and the food at the poolside bar was excellent and very reasonably priced. Some of us booked facials in the health club and again it was gorgeous and staff wonderful. I would defo stay at this hotel again - excellent. Rhonda Duffy (Dublin, Ireland)
