Crowne Plaza Dubai, Dubai

Great for business people, however, I wouldn't bring my family...I'd like something more accommodating and nicer. Is this a Holiday Inn or Crowne Plaza???

My fiance and I stayied for 2 nights in the spring and we had a wonderful time. Great location and very accessible to the city. The service was great and very attentive, the rooms were very comfortable and spacious. The only complaint I would say was the breakfast really wasn't that great. But over all we had a pretty good experience.

Although I've stayed only for one night, it was fair. I think it will be excellent for businessmen. The location was good, But the services was under quality. Checking out time was fixed & I couldn't extend it.

I don't expected I paid for 5 stars hotel price but have 3 stars hotel quality in terms of the service, enviroment of everywhere from the hotel, decor of rooms, swimming pool... etc. All the stuff are not up to even 4 stars standard.

I don't know why they claim themselve 5 stars hotel, well may be 20 years ago they were 5 stars. My feeling is that they are so old stylish and really old fashion in decoration and actually old and past. I don't know why the travel agency (Swire Travel) recommend this hotel to me and charge for USD500 a night for twin share. I have just been there this month (Feb 2006), I'm so disappointed compare to 2 years ago, I also stayed in Crown Plaza hotel in Melborne Australia, there was really excellent - Apart from the standard facilities of a 5 stars hotel, there has a TV & electrical spa in your own bathroom. also has the own chainging room in every single hotel room.

Very convenient location along Sheikh Zayed Road in Dubai! One of the oldest hotel in the city but remains one of the best!Zinc is my favorite bar in Dubai. The service is incomparable and the food is sumptous. The way they price the menu is fair enough for all walks of life. Crowne Plaza is truly "The King" in my life!

Well, you could say this is the best of the business type hotels. Like a more upmarket version of Holiday Inn. However, in comparison with the rest of Dubai it has more to go in the light of improvements. One issue that cannot be resolved is the location. The hotel is based on the outskirts of the Diera area, so walking is absolutely out of the question, hence cabs are necessary to get anywhere. The cabs are cheap enough with a standard fixed fee of a couple of AED, not even 50p! The staff are helpful, but can get agitated at times, including asking not to take pictures in case it bothers the rest of the tourists! The hotel provides no entertainment for its residents as such, however there is a nightclub located in the arrival lounge. We stayed around the xmas and NYE period, but did not attend the NYE celebrations in the hotel itself. Crowne plaza used the Bollywood theme for its celebrations. There is a swimming pool located on the roof in front of the main towers. The hotel also has squash courts, a gym, massagers, sauna and steam rooms. One point to note is that if you would like net connection in your room, it will be no faster than 28kpbs so don�t bother trying to do anything as it is just wasting money as the clock ticks! There is an internet area in the reception with fast running broadband and all common messaging programs installed. The hotel itself has many restaurants with different cuisines. However, my favourite has to be Al Dana restaurant. I think every Tuesday and Thursday nights are seafood nights. The hotel sets up a seafood station with a chef ready to serve you the shellfish you please or cook any fish you choose. The buffet is large and has good quality food. To decorate the themed night, the hotel also provides a grand display of ice sculptures. Overall, I'd recommend this hotel to those who aren�t too interested about their accommodation, but would like a comfortable nights sleep and no problems on holiday!

I LIKE THE POOL & FITNESS CLUB & IT IS PERFECT FOR CHOICE.

i loved the location and the staff was friendly and helpful. Great restaurants and quality unparallelled in the city.
