Ibis Al Barsha

The hotel from outside it looks nice. The reception staff were useless. The rooms were too small, in bathroom there was not soaps, not towers, not shampoo, not enough space to move. When we were doing shower, all water was out because there wasnt a curtain or door for the showerbath. The restaurant was nice but the breakfast was not so good. Also the hotel its far from everything. We had to get taxi wherever we go, we spend most of our money on taxis.

It was a 3 days trip in the time Christmas 2009. There are 3-4 Ibis Al Barshas. I stayed in Ibis Al Barsha opposite to Wellington International School and approx 1 K.M. from Emirates Mall. If you see the hotel front, you may feel it as an ordinary hotel. But the Hotel is good and clean. There are three restaurants in the hotel including a bar. The staffs are cooperative and helping. But there is no room service. There is no night club. I will say good, because I don't want to be disturbed my crowd of youngsters and call girls and... more

It was my first time to stay at IBIS hotel , I staye there for 3 days with my wife , it was good , very basic , the room is small but clean , the bathroom is very very small , you can hardly move around , anyways for 280 DHS per day , you can't find something that cheap in dubai with no hookers or low class people around , the breakfast was very basic ( scrambelled eggs , hot dogs , beans , jam , honey and butter were served in small packets like the one you get in a plane ) not very rich breakfast but ok , most of the people there were... more

Stayed in this hotel for 11 nights while a business trip. The Manager was extremely helpful on arrival at the hotel due to mix up with the sister hotel at Mall of Emirates. Hotel Staff were friendly and helpful with adequate dining facilities on site. Room were basic but clean and well maintained.

We stayed in the Ibis Al Barsha for 6 nights in September 2009. It was the first time we stayed in an Ibis hotel and were a little shocked at just how small the rooms were....but once we got over that we thought the room was nice, clean, the bed comfy and more reasonably priced than most other hotels in Dubai! We had specifically stayed here because of the Ibis' non-smoking policy. No smoking in the breakfast area, lobby or anywhere on a non-smoking floor. Unfortunately some construction workers were staying in the hotel and were... more

I've just returned from a short trip to Dubai, visiting my sister and her family, who live close to this Hotel in Al Barsha. The hotel is very new, only opened in April so everything was new and clean. It is very much a business hotel and there are no leisure facilities or pool.The rooms are fairly small, but was fine for a solo traveller and the shower room was ok, although the floor tended to puddle as there wasn't a shower door. There were toiletries contrary to what I'd read on here. Although the hotel is on the busy Sheik... more

I have just returned from a short trip to Dubai. I was attracted to this property from its low price compared to the other rates for similar hotels in Dubai. Location wise is fine taking into consideration the horrendous traffic of the city - the hotel is located opposite way traffic, next to the Emirates mall, the Marina and Jebel Ali. You might find it a bit difficult to get a taxi from the hotel as there is only construction around. Wont take more than 5-10 mins wait though. Check in was fast - but in very basic English as the Asian... more

Stayed for two nights and was very grateful to be given a room at 6.30am after a night flight. View from the room nothing great but good location on Sheikh Zayed Road - v.covenient for Jumeirah and Mall of Emirates etc. Room was comfortable and clean, as you'd expect from a new hotel. Bathroom small and some fittings a bit basic but otherwise vast improvement on all other Ibis I have stayed in. There was even an element of design, unlike the "posh youth hostel" feel of many of their European outlets! With two restaurants and a coffee... more

This hotel is mainly for business travelers, but I stayed there with my family (family of 4 , 2 small kids), and I do not have any complaints at all. Yes, the rooms are small, but I have seen some 5 star hotels with rooms smaller than these ones! Actually, they are very decent size rooms, even with 2 small kids I did not find there was a problem with space. The service is EXCELLENT, very friendly and accommodating staff. If you request something, you get it within 5 minutes. The hotel is very very clean, maybe due to the... more

The rooms are really small, bathroom too and for 300+ durhams! Free internet for 2hours only! Free airport pickup in mpv, takes about 30 mins each way. Decent continental breakfast provided eg. pastries, toast, eggs/bacons, cold cuts, dairy stuff, etc.. Hotel looks clean due to it being newly launched in April 2009. Exterior area of hotel is a mess, but that's dubai, everything is under construction. About 20 to 30 mins walk to excellent Emirates mall, cab drivers usually grumble due to insufficient short distance fare (one way is about 6... more
