Le Meridien Residence Deira

I stayed at the hotel with my friend and the experience was very nice. The hotel staff were very friendly, and ever willing to assist I never saw any of the hotel staff wear a frown for the six nights we stayed there. The room was neat, the bed very comfortable and clean linen was laid every day. The water from the shower was powerful but some parts in the bathroom showed signs of wear and tear. I like the fresh fruits which was kept in the room on the first day we arrived they came in quite handy cause we checked in after 12... more

Dubai is a very expensive place to visit, so this was a great deal, in a good location. It's close to the airport, about 15 min, and costs $5 taxi ride (UAED25.00) The staff are very friendly and helpful. The rooms are large and quiet with each room having a kitchenette. There are restaurants and stores within walking distance, and the Gold Souk is a moderate walk away (15 min). You might not want to make the walk in 51C heat, but it's difficult to get a taxi to take you such a short distance. There aren't taxis outside this... more

At last a decent priced place to stay in Dubai ! My husband and I regularly use Dubai as a stop-over on long haul Business Trips but have struggled to find somewhere to stay which is within walking distance of the creek area and not 5 star hotel prices. The Le Meridien Residence Deira seems to be the answer. 5 minutes walking distance to the creek, on various bus routes, basic self-catering equiptment and a good price (all three nights for the price of one night at most other Dubai hotels). We stayed in a studio apartment which was basic... more

Stayed at Residence Deira by Le Meridien for 3 nights prior to a SIlversea cruise in the Persian Gulf. Got a fantastic rate on the Le Meridien website (720AED=$200US total including tax and airport shuttle for 3 nights in a studio apartment) since our stay was over a week-end (Friday). Wanted to book 1 additional night on our return, but that would have cost as much as the 3 previous nights put together, This is a small low-rise apartment building located just behind the Radisson SAS hotel, which is on Dubai Creek, within an easy... more

I stayed in Le Meridien Residence Deira from 7th to 14th August 2007 for a week with my teenage son. I loved the location, it was central enought and within walking distance of Nasser square, the gold souk and shops, but away from the noise of the activities of Deira. The suite was very spacious and clean. The bed was comfortable and the linen luxurious. The guest amenities were extravagant for the price paid. The staff members were very friendly, warm and totally helpful. The only complaint my son had was that the television was not... more

Our first Dubai holiday in December 2004, We wanted to experience Dubai and chose to stay in the Diera City before going to Hilton Jumeirah. Went with gut feelings and chose Residence Diera. Better than expected, spacious, very convenient, within 5-10 mins walking distance to the gold Souk, eateries, mall, boat ride and easy to get a cab. We love it ! I would recommend this place to everyone. We came again for Dubai Shopping Festival 2007 and stayed in Mercato area. Traffic so bad. We decided to stay in Diera area next time. In fact, we... more

no facilities dirty room bathroom broken dirty bedsheets bad area noisy unsafe cheap but i checked out the next day, was terrible, could not stay another night here

My husband and I wanted to split our stay between the city and the beach- so we stayed here and saved money during our exploring days. The hotel was inexpensive for Dubai, and the rooms were large and fine. The location was good for exploring the souqs and catching an abra ride to Bur Dubai. Immediately around the hotel was business district, but you are a short/cheap taxi ride to a few decent hotels, malls, and the souqs (also walking distance depending on your heat tolerance). We came at the end of May and beginning of June- and... more

My husband and I have just spent a romantic 5 nights in Dubai and stopped here. It is a perfectly adequate, clean and friendly place to stay. We initially had a twin room with a kitchenette and asked for a double and were moved into a really spacious apartment with a separate bedroom, living area, kitchen area, and guest loo/washing machine room. The hotel is an annex of the main Le Meridian and as such doesn't have any dining or leisure facilities. If this is what you're after don't stop here. However if you can cope with the... more

Just returned from a fabulous stay in Dubai. Deira Residence Le Meridien was a great place to stay for a reasonable price. The rooms are spacious and clean with adequately equipped kitchenettes. The staff were friendly and couldn't do enough to help us. A minute's walk away from a main road, taxi's were in abundance and a cheap and safe way of getting around (make sure you get a taxi from one of the registered firms that use a meter to avoid being overcharged). The hotel was quiet and the lack of amenities (clubs, restaurants, shops) in my... more
