Highland City Hotel

This is more than an adequate budget hotel. If you want 5 star facilities then you are better off staying at the Burj Arab. The service was very good and the staff could not have been more helpful and friendly. The staff did not expect tips but I was forever tipping them as I know what a rubbish wage they are on and plus they are just grateful for a job. It was a clean and polished place.There was a bit of rush at breakfast for a table but we always obtained one. True the din from the nightclubs situated within the hotel might keep you awake... more

We stayed at this hotel for two nights from February 3,2006 to February 5, 2006. Overall, it is worth the money you give as you can find some really good rates for this hotel which includes free return airport transfers. The Hotel is in Bur Dubai district and you can easily go anywhere by a taxi (in Dubai, you have no other choice than a taxi). The staff and the everyone working at the Hotel were helpful and tried to respond to our needs when asked for. We could even get an early check in (at 8.00 AM) probably as we were travelling by... more

We had a great experience at the Highland. The service was excellent, our suite was quite large, we had a lovely view and the hotel was convenient. We were minutes walk fom the gold souks and the beach was only minutes on the taxi. The only average thing about the hotel was that there wasn't much variety with the breakfast- usual croissants, jam, tea or cereal or fruit. The breakfast room was quite small, so it was a dash for tables. There is a pool on the roof top, again not that big but it was quiet when we were there so... more

This was not a bad hotel at all, rooms nice, well appointed and clean and a nice quiet pool and jacuzzi on the roof in the sun. The reception were quite helpful and friendly too. The breakfast was a bit of a disappointment with the room crowded and chaotic and some rather unconventional choices of food. The aircon in rooms was a bit noisy and could have done with servicing. You want to stay on a higher floor though because that night club can throw out some noise. We would definately return, especially given the good rates... more

Be warned. If you are planning a stop over in Dubai and you want to get some sleep, then don't stay at the Hyland. The walls and floors are paper thin and you can hear the pulsing nightclubs from the lower floors. Plus when we stayed there. We arrived at 3am and all we wanted to do was grab a shower and go to sleep. First problem. No towels. When we rang housekeeping we were told there were no towels until 7am... Second problem. The people next door were having a very loud conversation and it was like they were in... more

if you like night clubs & noise stay at this hotel. we had 25 hours at the hotel and found the staff very rude the noise unbearable .The breakfast was . the worst we have ever had . we stayed at another hotel in dubai 14 days previus with the same star rating that was far superior . on check out it took nearly 45 minutes to check out and get our passports back. we were picked up and droped of by arrabia travel who were fantastic.

We stayed at this hotel from 12th June to 15th June. The hotel itself had excellent location and the daily breakfast was wonderful but our only problem was with the room service staff. Whenever we asked for some hot water or ordered some food to our room, the person who delivered used to glare at us before leaving. Such people should not be working in the hotel line.

I stayed at the hotel in Jan 2005. Value for money for a 3 star hotel. Located in the 'computer & accessories' business area of Bur Dubai. Within 5 mins [by car/bus - bus stop situated in front of hotel - Good bus service as well] of Nasser Square where shops selling electronic & hifi equipments are concentrated. The Hotel service is satisfactory but should book higher level rooms to avoid the noises of the night clubs situated on the 1/F of the hotel. The surrounding area of the hotel is quite safe, even at night !

We stayed at the Highland Hotel in Jan 2005 and were happy with the location, within walking distance of Bur Juman Centre, the creek and close to the port. There is also a supermarket quite close by. Comfortable for a 3 star hotel, although the lower floors get lots of noise from the discos on the first floor, if staying request a high level. If you are looking for a 3 star hotel would definately recommend this one.
