Hi, myself & 8 others stayed in the Novotel World Trade Centre in February for 5 nights. We had a fantastic stay in this hotel and the staff were absolutely fantastic, very friendly and helpful and nothing was a problem. We booked some trips also with the hotel for the Dhow Cruise and the Dessert Safari and it was done in no time at all. The pool area is gorgeous and again if you want to move your sunbed there is someone on hand to do it for you and the food at the poolside bar was excellent and very reasonably priced. Some of us booked facials in the health club and again it was gorgeous and staff wonderful. I would defo stay at this hotel again - excellent. Rhonda Duffy (Dublin, Ireland)

Stayed here on a long stopover in Dubai so only need a bed for a couple of hours. Perfect location only a 10min drive from the airport. (free shuttle bus, but cab would be about 25d's) Hotel is not a luxury 5 star resort etc, but I don’t think anybody would turn up thinking that. IBIS is on the same complex.
Clean and bright rooms, polite staff, pool, gym all a++

Hotel Bar was surprising pleasant, quite a fun atmosphere!

All in all, for a no frill's hotel for dirt cheap in a city where most rooms are overpriced this NOVOTEL Dubai wins hands down! ( I paid 65 pounds sterling on their website)

A really good hotel with great facilities. Although not a 5 star in actual ratings, it's not like other Novotel hotels - its had the Dubai luxury treatment!

Great location opposite the Emirates towers and other eating locations on Sheikh Zayed Road which we had no problems in walking to in the evenings (if you can take the heat!). Taxis were always available outside the hotel if you wanted to go further a field, which is likely! Great thing about this hotel was that it is quite central, so areas like bur dubai or at the opposite end, Madinat Jumeriah/ Wild Wadi are not too far away.

Hotel has a nice pool and gym, great buffet breakfast, internet facilities (though a bit expensive) and staff are very accomodating.

The hotel also has a free shuttle bus to and from the airport and the key shopping malls.

We would definitely stay here again and recommend to others going to Dubai.

My boyfriend and I liked this hotel a lot. The room seemed new with modern furnishings. Both of us liked the bed, which was unusual because he likes a soft bed and I prefer firmer. We took advantage of the free airport transfers (look for the person holding the Ibis/Novotel sign) and the free shuttle to the beach and malls. Our departing flight was through Abu Dhabi, and the concierge arranged for a taxi for us.

The staff were very helpful, especially the pool staff who appeared instantly to help us move the lounge chairs in/out of the sun.

This is by no means an inexpensive hotel, but was an excellent value for Dubai. I originally booked the Ibis, but kept checking the Novotel's website and eventually came across a rate that was only a little higher than the Ibis'. After spending a little more time on the Novotel website, I was able to find a rate that included breakfast and internet for the same price as the room-only rate. Yay! When checking out of the hotel, the front desk claimed that internet is never included, but fortunately I had the reservation confirmation printed out, which stated that internet was included. The front desk agent removed our internet charges without any problems.
