I have just returned from a 5 night break in Dubai off which 3 nights were spent at this new hotel. The hotel is only a short journey from the airport and it offers all you would expect of a 4 star city centre hotel. The hotel has a very modern and clean feeling to it and although our stay was for leisure it is a very good business hotel as well. The gym was one of best I have seen in a hotel and fitness instructors were at hand if you needed them. The hotel does have a rooftop pool, although I wasn't quite brave enough to get in(it was only approx 18degrees).

The service from the staff was very good and professional.

Breakfast offered all you could need: fresh fruit, yogurts, pasteries, croissants, breads, omlettes, cereals and a hot selection of food.

We stayed in a one bedroom suite which has two bathrooms, a luggage room, dining area with desk and sitting area, kitchennette complete with washing machine and a large king size bedroom.

All in all a very nice hotel in downtown Dubai.

This hotel is brand new, modern, and very stylish -- the pictures on the official site do it no justice. Check-in was a little slow, with one frazzled clerk attending to four guests simultaneously, but the room was great: spacious, big comfy beds, little sofa-and-table area, powerful shower, plasma TV, and all of it squeaky and new. Internet access is a rather steep 80 dirhams/day (~US$20), but at least it was fast.

The next morning, I hit the gym, which was quite spacious and well-equipped with a good selection of treadmills, stationery bikes, exercise machines, in fact pretty much everything except heavy free weights. There was even a European lady seemingly employed to run the center! The dressing rooms have a decent little sauna, and up the steps is a slick rooftop pool that would have been just amazing a little later in the year... but I was visiting in January and the 10 deg C water was, um, on the refreshing side.

My rate didn't include breakfast, but I did get three "treat" coupons, redeemable for various things like beer and pretzels, fruit platters, muffins etc at the restaurant and bar downstairs. The only catch was that they could only be used between 11 AM and 8 PM, and I'd checked in at 10 PM and was leaving at noon the next day... but I tried the "sandwich and drink" at the hip little cafe (complete with pop art comic panels on the walls), expecting a saran-wrapped white bread triangle, and was fairly shocked to get what amounted to a freshly made club sandwich (minus the bacon) with piping hot fries.

Overall, there are two negatives to the hotel, and one big positive. The negatives are that 1) the hotel isn't close to much of anything, although you can walk to the Creek in ~20 min if you've got time and the weather permits, and that 2) there really isn't the slightest hint of Arabia to the entire place: it's totally anonymous modern style. However, the big positive is the price: my stay, booked just a few days ahead, was Dhs 550 (before taxes), or around US$150, when most Dubai hotels I looked at were anywhere from 2-4x that much. Given that the hotel is just ~10 min from the airport by taxi, this was perfect for a one-day transit stop, and I'd definitely recommend it for people with a little sightseeing time on their hands.

Stayed one night in the Four Points downtown in mid January. The hotel is brand new. The rooms are very modern and the service was great. As the other reviewer said, you need to make sure the taxi driver is aware of this hotel vs the other Four Points in Bur Dubai. I will stay here on my next visit to Dubai.

If you like modern contemporary design at an affordable price - go for this brand new hotel. Be careful to explain the taxi driver not to take you to the other Four Points Hotel in Dubai ("Four Points Burj Dubai") because the hotel is so new that the news is not common knowledge yet.
The lobby and public areas are very light, with white and wooden tones and are tastefully decorated. The rooms are very spacious with a seating area, a leather couch and a dining table (Preferred floor). Compared to other Dubai hotels and the generally high price level this hotel is a real bargain.
Some teething problems will soon be overcome (wireless internet did not work in the rooms, reception staff will need some training with their own computer system etc) so that the overall experience will be excellent. At first glance the location seems to be a bit out of the way but on second sight the hotel is in walking distance to a busy shopping street - which other hotel of this standard can say this in Dubai?
This hotel is really recommended, in other places you get much less in terms of space and design for a similar price.
