I have to say this place is wonderfully placed to go places in Dubai. We were greeted by the Staff as we entered the doors and very polite staff telling us where our rooms would be. The hotel has an indoor pool and massage area which was great after a long flight. Free Shuttle bus to and from the city. Staff very friendly encouraging us to look around Dubai in the 30 hours we had there. Buffet food was superb and great to see a huge variety of cultural foods and juices.
I indeed look forward to staying there again. Since Dubai is an ever-growing city by the day, this would be the best place to stay and check out the changes and people around. Cheap Taxi fares who are willing to take you from A to B and they are friendly.

Its a nice pleasant hotel. Not over the top but in a decent but not great location. was sad that i asked for a king size bed but when i got there they only had a twin room so had to put both beds together. But for the price you cant go wrong and taxis are readily available.

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.
