“This long-established hotel, a fixture since 1979, strikes me as a blend of tradition and contemporary convenience. Its location on Sheikh Zayed Road promises easy access to the city, including the Dubai Metro. I'm particularly drawn to the rooftop pool, which seems to offer great views, though I did note one report of potential noise issues between rooms.”

fantastic locationefficient service
The location was fantastic. It was easy to access taxis and transport. room service was very efficient and the staff were helpful. i appreciated that they checked me in early when i explained MY situation.
there was very, very POOR handling of issues. other respectful chains would try to offer upgrades for mistakes. i felt that they didn't care whether i stayed or left.

the location suited my needs. i used the metro to attend meetings.
The shower's hot water was not very hot. also, there was only a shower. I wanted a bath. worst of all, the hotel hosted an event in the ballroom on two of my three nights. loud music played past midnight until nearly 3am. the bass resonated. I could barely sleep.

adequate stay with issues

friendly staffsmoking pubno extraction
the reception staff were friendly and efficient (i found that helpful).
The red lion pub was a letdown because it permits smoking. there was no designated non-smoking area and no extraction system in place. the air conditioning recirculated the smoke. This made it difficult to breathe, particularly when football games were on, it also affected the food.
