Hotels in Bur Dubai, Dubai

3 times I booked on this Hotel now, Very good & pleasent experiance, Very good value for money as well.

Although my stay was brief, the service and food was excellent. I recommended it to my business colleague and he was suitably impressed. We will be staying there in future.

We went last October for a week and we have just been for 2 weeks and we love city living and the diversity of the culture in Dubai. We hope to go again in October 2012 if rooms are available

Good location for a pre-cruise stay as only 10min taxi (£3.50) to the port. We were upgraded to a one bed appartment from a studio. Pleantly of room. Good warm wimming pool on roof with hot tub and baby pool too Freindly and helpfull staff. Clean and well equiped.. Beakfast not included but only £5 for the buffet.

I stayed here for a day as I passed through on my way to Afghanistan so when I had the opportunity to take a short break, I chose Dubai and, being a creature of habit, the same hotel. The hotel itself is very clean and well maintained. It is located in Deira, and connected the huge Deira City mall. I'm not a huge shopper but I found the location excellent because I had access to Carrefour's (I think it's a French Wal-Mart) and plenty of familiar places to eat. The personnel at the hotel are very friendly and all speak English to one degree or another, making communication in a foreign land much easier. They are extraordinarily polite and each, no matter what job they have, greet guests each and every time. As we didn't plan on doing much but wanted to see the city, the concierge proved very helpful, providing necessary information for tourists to enjoy their stay. But then again, we didn't make any out of the ordinary requests nor did we want to visit any obscure or out of the way places. The breakfast was complimentary and provided a good cross section of American, European, Indian and Arab foods. The wait staff was very attentive. There is a underused gym with plenty of aerobic machines and free weights. But don't let the photo fool you...the mirror on the wall makes it appear there are twice as many treadmills as there are (in reality about 8 or 10) The rooftop outdoor pool, when I went at the end of March, was not crowded, open late, and had nearly bathwater temperatures. In the late afternoon it became a little chilly as the winds picked up, more noticeable on the 8th floor. Only had a few drawbacks. Alcohol, as one would imagine is fairly pricey, especially at the hotel. The room "bar" was very expensive although it offered a wide variety of nips and pints. We got some good advice and bought some rum and wine inexpensively at the duty free shop of the airport. We sort of "prepped" in our room if we went out and had a drink or two away from the room/hotel. The hotel bar was dead on the two occasions we happened by but I know there are places to go if one wants to party. In fact there was some gathering going on on the 2nd floor my last night, but I think it was a private affair. There was no card or pamphlet in the room explaining whom to call for what service (laundry, housekeeping, information, concierge, room service, wake up call) so we referred to the symbols on the phone. Some would ring and ring and never answer, so the default became to call the operator or front desk. The air conditioning was uncomfortably cold, even at its warmest setting. We got to the point where we would call down and have it shut off in our room and turn it back on needed, which the staff did so promptly. Had only two issues with replacement items. Didn't get a newspaper two days in a row and had to ask for it. Also, had to request new bath towels one day. At least one of these seemed to be derived from some confusion as to when we were checking, as evidenced by a manager suddenly entering our room at one point (after knocking and stating "housekeeping") and inquiring as to when we were scheduled to leave. This was much more amusing than it was annoying however, as my gf had just come out of the shower. Overall it was a great, albeit short, trip and our stay was very enjoyable. It was nearly as enjoyable as some of resort destinations in Cancuun, Mexico I've been to but I would give a nod to the hospitality to the City Centre Hotel and the sun is almost guaranteed (which I'm sad to say, I can't say for Mexico in my limited experience). The city is easy to get around, relatively inexpensive, everything is in English, and there is plenty to see and do. We opted to mostly hang out at the hotel and enjoyed our stay immensely as a result. I would go back without question, assuming the price is right.

Very happy with my stay. Concierge staff need to get on top of city offerings. I payed a lot more for the big bus night tour because they didn't know or understand the tour pricing structures, otehrwise very good.

This hotel is excellent in all aspects. It's location is perfect and the amenities are great. Excellent restaurants and bars. Fitness center, pools and spa were exceptional. Concierge staff was very helpful. All staff from housekeeping to management went out of their way to assist and to inquire as to how our stay was going. Room was on the 30th floor with great views of Dubai. Great place to stay.

Very good hotel, good central location. Staff very helpful. Enough places to eat, Burjuman Shopping mall just across the road. Would stay again. Appears to be recently refurbished.

The hotel is modern, clean and functional. It has good facilities and there is a good selection of restaurants and shopping centres in the vicinity. The metro station is about 10 mins walk away, and there are plenty of taxis available outside the hotel. The hotel staff are friendly and helpful.

rooms are good size ,clean and well equipped . I had a nice stay at this hotel.

I have stayed at this hotel 6 times now and I still love it, but the last time I stayed I was a bit upset to find no bathrobe or slippers in my room which was a bit annoying as I hadn't packed a bathrobe . The room was ok with exception of the view which was a very tall bush blocking out any kind of view at all. Anyway enough of the down side. The hotel staff were as always extremely helpful. The hotel is in an ideal situation to see the old side of Dubai, with easy access to the spice and gold souk via the abra. I love this hotel and have already booked for my 2012 visit to Dubai.

Well received at the reception. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. Location very good. The rooms were cleaned everyday. They were well equipped with everything. Had everything you would expect at home.We thoroughly enjoyed ou stay. recommend it to anybody.

Great apartments situated in the old area of Dubai. With the cost of taxis and public transport being quite reasonable, it doesn't matter where you are located in Dubai, as it is cheap and easy to get around. Better suited to couples or the single business traveller, not soo much family orientated and area is a little rough (although not too much to worry about, as Dubai is very safe in terms of personal security), just a old part of Dubai and the area is a little older and not soo much what people "think" of when thinking about DUBAI as a place to visit...

The room was spacious. The location was good near the Burjuman mall and the 5 minutes walk from Burjuman Metro station. The furniture was very basic, the electrical appliances terrible and generally the cleanliness not very good. The hotel had good recreational facilities.

Even though I had miscalculated our arrival time the staff were very helpful and allowed us to check in half a day early at a small fee. The room was clean but in desperate need of a soft refurb - due to the humidity there is a mildew smell trapped in the carpets and curtains. Internet was a little bit expensive and not the easiest to use but at least available. Breakfast was included in our rate and it was very nice, you got the hot and cold options. It was a new experience to eat curry at breakfast time but very tasty.

My husband and I had a really lovely time during our stay with you,we would gladly stay at this hotel when we return in the future, regards, Bernie.

Hotel in quiet safe neutral area between old city and new financial district. 5 min walk to superb metro. Inexpensive taxis at front door. Hotel new, comfortable, very clean, excellent staff, British-style pub, good large but somewhat pricey buffet breakfast without a la carte alternatives except coffee. Hotel is not in scenic area and no interesting views but easy to get around. About 50% clients businessmen, 50% tourists. Nice rooftop non-lap pool, spa. Very good gym. Must take taxi or metro to get places, nothing of interest within walking distance. Not scenic but good value and comfortable. No problems during our 10-day stay. Staff friendly and accomodating. Pleasant, quiet, low-key, well-maintained, very clean, new.

Très bon accueil. Chambres spacieuses. Proximité avec le métro et le mall.

Location was superb - adjoined to the mall with endless shopping and dining along with quick access to main roads/highways; Adjoining fitness club/pool/spa was elaborate; Breakfast buffet was fresh and decadent; Staff was always attentive and friendly; Furnishings and amenities in room were quite luxurious - more than what we expected considering the price; Valet parking only was a bit inconvenient and not clearly described before booking; Best hotel we've stayed at so far on our own budget; We would stay here again in a heartbeat;

very nice hotel... nice location.. rooms are clean..

Only stayed overnight, was adequate.

Hotel acceuillant et agréable dans l'ensemble, situé au calme dans l'ancien Dubaï. Au dernière étage de l'hôtel l'on peut utiliser gratuitement le sauna, la salle de sport et la piscine ouverte sur le toit. Le seul bémol est que personne ne prévient que le mini bar dans la chambre qui est garni d'un échantillon de chacune de leurs boissons est payant lorsque vous faite votre check-out. Donc surprise 90Dirham à débourser.

Very large apartment with swimming pool and steam room. Not a lot of hot water, but good value

I spent 11 nights at this hotel. It was like home away from home. Close to all areas by easy taxi and Metro system.

Having been to Dubai many times, one needs to decide what is most important for comfort, value and location. The Savoy Crest offers a large, modern room, equvalent to a studio apartment with marble/granite bath and kitchen. Flat screen TV carries 1/3 English speaking news and movies with the others being Arabic and Hindi. The neighborhood ( Mancool ) is close to Bur Dubai and the Creek, yet 3 minute walk from Burjumin Mall and the Khalif bin al Wali metro Station, 10 minutes by metro to the airport. It makes a car unnecessary, though they also have parking on site. If this Apartment-Hotel would cost double or triple if it were in Sheik Zayad Rd. The metro is a great way to get to many of the sites. I will stay there again. They have a great buffet breakfast for less than 10 bucks.

It was not bad but the location is far away from all the happening in new Dubai! The staff was really helpful and professional. I would go back only if I have to do business in nearby areas!

We have stayed in Dubai numerous times and this hotel did not disappoint. The hotel staff were very helpful and nothing was too much trouble. The table tennis table and bar football by the pool were good additional extras -plus the pool was open until 10pm at night. This proved to be an excellent base prior to our night flight home. The only disappointment was the cost of access to a private beach -though the public one was cheap. We would consider staying here again.

The Jumeira Rotana is a very good hotel located in the Satwa district. It's just a few minutes by taxi to the Bur Dubai and Deira areas and just about 15 minutes walk to the exquisite Jumeirah Mosque. My room was quite nice, with spectacular views of the Burj Khalifa and the buildings of Sheikh Zayed Rd. Be sure to request a room on the side of the hotel facing the Burj. In sum, this hotel provides good value for money, and I highly recommend it.
