we stayed in the ramada for one night, coming back from oman.

The whole experience was awfull.

The reception had lost our booking order, and they were desperatelly trying to sell their cheap and smelly chinese restaurant.

The room smelled terrible. In the beginning, we were really wonderring if there was a fast food the next door.

The pool on the roof was not so clean, and was invaded by the staff children, having fun and jumping all over the place as from 7 pm.

The chinese restaurant, desperatelly empty, smelled awfull even six floors behind.

Horrible.

I go to Dubai alot and the past 5 times i have been to Dubai, i have selected Ramada Dubai. Its location is perfect for people who are visiting and do not have a car, or does not want to rent a car. You will always find a cab parked outside the hotel. The resturants are great, and you have plenty of choices of resturants near the hotel if you chose. The staff is very friendly and always helpful. If you request something from them, they will bring it to you right away, alot faster than other hotels. I really dont want to sound like i am doing a commercial for them, but this is one hotel that i liked and would recommend for anyone going to Dubai, specially first timer.

After reading a lot of posts about hotels in Dubai + the Emirates Dubai stop over selection we decided on the Ramada & we were not disappointed. Great location in the computer/electrics area of Dubai. Lovely spacious rooms split level with lounge area on higher level to the bed & bathroom. The bathroom even had two seperate showers. Even a choice of pillows ranging from very soft to quite firm. Mini bar with tea & coffee available.Complimentary paper & bottled water each day. Good selection buffet breakfast was included in our rate which we organised directly through the hotel. Staff were all extremely helpful & courteous. Across from the hotel was a great little shopping centre with restaurants, mens & ladies clotjhing stores, a dry cleaning outlet if you find the hotel laundry service a bit to expensive centre kiosks that sell watches, bags, sunnies etc etc there is also a McDonalds if needed. Across the other road (The Ramada is on a corner)is a convenience store "Spinneys" catering for all your needs along with banks, medical centres & restaurants. Within easy walking distance is the "Indian area" where you can purchase beautiful materials & elaborate jewellery. Computer & electronic shops abound in the area close to the hotel.We would highly recommend the Ramada Dubai
