Just wanted to balance out all the excellent reviews - this hotel is good but really nothing special. Stayed last weekend for one night for the tennis.

Pros

Nice rooms
Breakfast good
Service Good
Valet parking

Cons

Awful location, traffic always bad there - was stuck in a jam at 2300 !
Smallest bath in the world
Not really any better than the low cost chains - Novotel / Ibis that are far better located

In summary - be careful in picking this one based on the reviews here and be clear about what area of Dubai you want to be in - if I were coming on holiday for instance then I'd want to be up the other end on Jumeirah beach or in the Marina area and put up with the building work. If I wanted low cost and nice then I'd go for one of those mentioned that I've stayed at for the 7's / work a few times. If I wanted central location then it'd be Sheikh Zayed road every time.

I've stayed at great hotels and honestly this isn't one of them and at typically 1000dhs ++ it aint that cheap.

A short review here:

I read the other reviews of Traders on Trip Advisor and have to say that they were exactly right. This hotel within the context of skyrocketing prices in Dubai is incredibly good value - literally five star standards with three star prices - its a misnomeaur which I think they will correct one of these days, so get there!

Great room service menu also, multi-national and very very tasty.

Super clean rooms and bathrooms. All out great stay, well done.

Location in the Deira area so you're 25-30 mins from the Jumeirah beach area, but if you're in town for business in the area, its a top choice.

friendly welcome,efficient and helpfull staff,very nice clean room with huge comfortable bed,spotless and very big bathroom and shower,great breakfast,good location,never a problem getting a taxi,and lovely bar for nitecap..would recommend to everybody.

I have stayed at Trader's Hotel Dubai several times and it has never failed to impress me. The service-outstanding, the rooms-contemporary yet cosey, the lounge- simple yet impressive, the breakfast- whatever comes to your mind in it's fine broad selection. Truely a Hotel in a class of it's own! Highly recommended to those who appreciate staying in style!
