Stayed at Lords Hotel for 3 nights. Rooms are large, clean and have very comfortable beds. Roof pool good. Breakfast ok. Friendly housekeeping staff if indifferent reception staff. Cheap, good restaurant for lunch. Good location, close to the Creek and 35dms taxi from airport etc. Frequented by europeans, arabs and by russain families who appear not to have the ability to smile on their holidays, (must have been lack of snow). However they're loss, great place for a short stay, clean comfortable and good price!

The Lords Hotel in Dubai was a pleasent experience. The hotel's location is perfect in what I might refer to as the old CDB of Dubai near the famous bank building and in easy walking distance to the souqs, including the gold souq.

I would not discribe the hotel staff as friendly but they were not unfriendly.

One notable feature of the hotel is that it is populated by Russians - this is notable because a lot of the services ie breakfast and tv etc have a distinctly Russian feel.

The room I stayed in was very nice but typical of chain 'western' hotels. Certainly the room was clean although the roof top pool was not pleasent - go to the beach instead.

I would reccomend this hotel if you can get a good price.

The room attendants at this hotel are teriffic, if you ever go there tip them big time - they deserve it. Reception staff seem to give precedence to their Russian guests, as this is a predominantly Russian hotel. I found russian fellow-guests rather cold and unfriendly, they insisted on staring at us at the Breakfast table and always pushed in at reception, using their language to their advantage.

In terms of security and cleanliness, I must give this hotel 10/10. There is a safety deposit box at reception, which is reliable for storing cash and passports. Breakfast was basic but ok. You get a free shuttle service to Jumeirah beach and back - which is a boon.

Hotel was very awkward and unhelpful whenit came to assisting with wife's visa. They showed very little interest in helping out with that side, despite already having had a booking fully paid for. I would prefer to try somewhere else next time, but would not discourage future visitors to Dubai from staying here. You will certainly feel relaxed, and the rooms are spacious and clean enough.
