Stayed here last week as part of a business trip.

The rooms are very pleasant and quite spacious (I had a twin bedded suite on my own). Flat screen TV's in both the lounge and bedroom, with a well fitted kitchenette including large fridge / freezer.

I had a front facing room on the second floor (behind the glazed curtain walling facade) and didn't hear the traffic once.

Excellent rooftop keep-fit facility, including swimming pool (not huge but great for an early evening cool down).

Free wi-fi in the lobby worked very well and paid access is available in your room if you need a little privacy.

The hotel is a little way from the tourist attractions but taxis are cheap and readily available. Would stay here again without any hesitation.

This is a fantastic, beautiful hotel. Worth MUCH more than its 3* rating. We stayed here for 10 nights when we first arrived in Dubai and cannot fault it at all. We got upgraded to a 1br suite when we arrived. The rooms are very modern, roomy, clean and always well presented. Good buffet breakfast. Good gym and rooftop swimming pool (nice views too). Free wireless internet in the dining centre downstairs. Fantastic, friendly service. Feels very intimate and the staff will know you by name if you stay long enough. Location is good if you want to be amongst the hustle and bustle of Sheikh Zayed Road. There is a small shopping centre in walking distance with a few small restaurants, but a cab is easy to get to other places like Mall of Emirates, Madinat Jumeirah, the beaches etc. I highly recommend this hotel to any business or leisure traveller, a really good alternative to those who don't want to pay the exorbitant prices at the other 4* & 5* hotels.

Just came back from a one-week trip to Dubai with my fiance and we stayed at the Villa Rotana Suites. This place really rocks. Although not set on the beach front, the hotel does easily live up to the expectations of even the most discerning traveller. The hotel boasts a white marbled entrance area, modern light furniture, a spacious gym with separate sauna, steam and jacuzzi and a really nice roof terrace pool with comfortable loungers. The service staff are friendly and wonderfully attentive and would go out of their way to help you. The rooms are modern, spacious and finished to very high standards including a plasma screen, Grohe fittings and Villeroy and Boch sanitary ware. We were served a sumptuous and delicious breakfast every day and also had afternoon tea for a mere 22 Dirhams pp!!! The location is brilliant as well, actually, because you are well within short driving distance to most tourist atttractions, including the Emirates mall, Jumeirah beach and the city centre. This place is a hidden gem and I will not just highly recommend it to anyone but also am very happy to return and stay there again.

This is a new hotel on the Sheikh Zayed Road. It is not on the beach but booked through Opodo it was about a third of th eprice of the Royal Mirage. You have a kitchen area and a large modern room with high quality fittings. there is a rooftop pool and a gymnasium with sauna, steambath and jacuzzi separately for men and women in their respective changing rooms. Buffet breakfast was reasonable and included in an Atrium restaurant on the ground floor. But beware the hotel does not serve alcohol so you will need to visit the Alamo, the Red Lion or Fibber McGees for a drink or bring your own back to the room. Choose a room at the back of th ehotel as you can just hear the hum of the traffic at the front of the hotel.
