Holiday Inn Express Dubai-Internet City

This hotel was built a year ago and looks just like the ones we find in North America. It has an excellent restaurant, a decent cafe and bar. The rooms are large, spotless, nicely furnished. It's not luxurious like some other Dubai hotels; seems to target the business traveler on a budget. Not cheap, but nothing is in Dubai. It's a ten minute taxi ride to the Souk Madinat (very interesting), the incredible Burj al Arab hotel, the marina, a water park (Wadi), the Emirates Mall (with indoor skiing) etc. About a half hour from... more

This hotel is brand new, and quite nice looking. The only issue I had with the accommodations was the shower handle falling off and the shower draining very slowly. Both issues were promptly resolved after talking to the front desk. The complimentary breakfast is amazing. It is about a 15 to 20 minute drive from central Dubai, but given the price I found it worthwhile to stay here.

I first stayed at this hotel in October and did rate the stay as very good. However I have recently returned to what I can only describe as first class lodging with exceptional service. The reception desk staff was extremly helpful and polite and even offered to take my luggage up when they they not provide such service at the express. Rooms are still well kept, well stocked and very clean. The highlight of the stay was dinner at the new restaurant on the roof that was not open when I first visited. The view from Vista is... more

This new hotel in the Knowledge Village area of Dubai, close to the new Dubai Marina and Emirates Mall is a great value close to many new attractions. The service is not the same as the top five star hotels but it is very friendly and efficient. The lobby is very modern and large with wireless internet access available. The rooms are not huge but large enough to have a bed and small sofa. Wired high speed internet in the rooms fo 100AED a day. Breakfast is included with all rooms but don't expect a grand buffett. There are only... more

I am a regular business traveller, I have stayed there from January 2nd till January 10th hotel is fantastic, one of the best Holiday Inn Express I have ever stay. This hotel has assembled a wonderful team: from Reception, management to restaurant wait staff - I was delighted by the friendliness and "extra mile" helpfulness of all the staff, always smiley faces!. Incredible staff - always available and extremely helpful. The in-room high speed internet is quite good and reasonably priced, wifi in the lobby (cheap taxi ride to the... more

If you like cold showers this is the place for you. We called maintenance and they tracked dirt through the room to "fix" the problem. But the problem was NOT fixed. Only staying one night so I asked for a small discount to compensate my problem. The clerked grinned and said sorry. Great view of the Burj al Arab nearby though. Relatively close to the Hard Rock Cafe too. Never again will I stay here.

There are lot of problems faced in there for the two dat stay. and follwing are the main grivences: As per the documents they said they have iron box but asked twice at reception and the receptinist also agreed to send the iron box...but never delivered to the room. As per the booking i was offered the late check out but at the time of check -in the recptinist refused. you have car it is ok, otherwise save some money for taxis. They have a small shop for essentials...but price is exhorbitent. There's continental... more

Nice new hotel in Knowledge village, near to Ibn Battuta Mall and Marina somehow Burj Al Arab and Mall of Emirates, far from Deira. If you have car it is ok, otherwise save some money for taxis. The room is nice i only missed more closets. There's continental breakfast included in the room rate I was afraid it will be too simple but there was quitte a choice its not only toast and jam but if u like to spoil yourself with scrambled eggs and warm sausages don't count on it. Cleaning of room seemed to be bit slow sometimes they reached room... more

As a frequent traveller to Dubai, it is extremly refreshing to be able to stay at a hotel offering value for money. I recently spent 3 nights during Eid at the Express at the excellent rate of USD 120 all inclusive. Beleive it or not with breakfast. The hotel is brand new and is sparkling clean. Location is good for the beach and Emirates Mall. Staff are friendly and drinks are resonably priced. I strongly recommend this hotel for those on a limited budget. I hope Dubai will offer more quality hotels at good value.

This hotel is brand new and ideal for anybody doing business in new Dubai or Internet City . There is a hotel shuttle bus that is supposed to pick up from the airport every hour but please beware that it is disguised as an AVIS car hire bus . We gave up waiting for it when we arrived and caught a taxi ( cost 90 dhms) . When I saw the bus the next day I realised why we had missed it as it had a great big AVIS sign plastered on the side so we took it to be a car rental pick up bus when we saw it at the airport . There is a tiny holiday inn... more
