Flora Grand Hotel

daughter and i stayed here for 2 nights. even though much building going on in dubai, this hotel was very quiet and well located. first impression very positive with small but classy lobby area, gorgeous chandelier, clean and neat looking with plenty of areas to sit down. staff friendly and most importantly, extremely nice to nine year old! staff always nodded and smiled when we walked past them, and even made time to talk to daughter. prompt and efficient service at checkin/out, very polite and friendly also. luggage handled... more

Arrived at the hotel at 4.00 a.m.and the reception staff were still cheerfull and smiling. Easily accessible from the Airport, excellent rooms - there were five of us in 2 rooms - with buffet breakfast every morning and lots of smiling & attentive staff. Great location as you are within walking distance - which doesn't seem common in Dubai - of shops, banks and a wide range of restaurants / fast food outlets - KFC, Nandos, Iranian, Lebanese, etc. You also get a feel of life in the "real" Dubai as different from the touristy... more

I am my wife stayed at the Flora Grand Hotel for 2 nights during a stopover in Dubai. The Hotel is in an excellent location (Deira), about 10 minutes from the airport. There are several restaurants and departmental stores within walking distance. The hotel has a tour bus (free of charge) that takes you to a nearby beach every morning. The breakfast buffet (which was included in our room's rate) was excellent with a huge variety to choose from. Our room (though a little smaller than normal hotel rooms with a single bed) was very clean and the... more

A very good hotel with a good location. Stayed here for a week and found it very good, was worth every penny they charge. Started with a on time airport pickup, and we were way quite some hours earlier than check in time, but were given a room immediately, no wait at all. Breakfast was good, the staff is very cooperative, especially the staff on the reception and breakfast hall. Nice spacious rooms, and the room service was also very prompt and good. Also finding cabs is not an issue as concierge helps you locate... more

Good hotel in good position in old Dubai. Much nicer than the rather glitzy OTT and sterile Jumeirah Beach. Hotel is probably reasonably old but this doesn't distract from it at all. Breakfast was good as was food in the lobby lounge but DO NOT eat in the Indian Restaurant, food was awful but think it is leased out. Taxis from the hotel were cheap and easily available and easy to get everywhere. Pool is on the roof and in the 38 degree heat and the glare from the white building it was very, very hot and not a lot of room up there. Good... more

I dont usually write reviews but after my stay at the Flora Grand Hotel I feel I must tell everyone and all - its a GREAT hotel - four star but with five star service! I booked via [--] and got a really good deal - the hotel was worth every penny/dirham... fantastically clean, well located (loads of restaurants and city centre is a very short drive away as is the creek, when its cooler they are both within walking distance) helpful friendly staff, great breakfasts - nice coffee shop, - excellent gym facilities, nice pool area, good... more

This hotel is excellent. Hotel rooms are clean, tidy and have elegant style. I booked the standard room via tripadvisor website.The bed is comfortable. The bathroom is big, the size of the bathroom almost equal the size of the bed room. the staff members were friendly and very helpful. they respond as quick as possible .this hotel is defintly good choice

excellent 4 star hotel, excellent service and exellent food at both the coffee bar aswell as the restaurant (if not alittle expensive). only downsize was no internet access which was alittle disappointing. would befo recommend and go back again!!!.

Upsides: friendly staff, good location in one of the few bits of Dubai to retain any character, reasonable value for money, clean and comfortable. Downsides: no convenient power point for laptop use in room (a significant omission in a place that's likely to have a lot of business guests), slightly odd room layout with a lot of space wasted on a pointless entrance area, staff sometimes too busy to provide immediate service, on-site Indian restaurant a little disappointing. (Try the one in the nearby Taj Palace hotel instead - absolutely... more

i arrived in Dubai for an interview and was booked into the Flora. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food was allright, if somewhat expensive. It was a very clean Hotel and the room was large and well laid out. All in all, I would stay there again.
