Holiday Inn Dubai - Al Barsha - Dubai

My stay at Holiday Inn Al Barsha was memorable. It is an extremely clean hotel, with delicious breakfast, polite and friendly staff, and located close to Mall of the Emirates. The metro is close by and getting to all points of interest never took me more than 30 minutes. Holiday Inn is like a home away from home. Very comfortable bed and spacious b […] athroom. Read more

Very friendly staff. Excellent location: 5 minutes walking distance to both shopping, and metro. Free fast Internet in the lobby. 16 to 17 meter roof top lap pool is very clean.

Location was excellent. The staff were surprisingly really really good. I have travelled to the middle east a lot and frankly don't expect much when it comes to customer service, but here they did even better than most places I've stayed around the world. For the price, I would not stay anywhere else. Walking distance from the Mall of the Emirates, […] many local cheap restaurants, small market right beside the hotel. Awesome. Read more

Our stay at the Hotel was great! Our room was quiet, clean, and housekeeping was present in case we needed anything, which was appreciated by my wife and I. We are normally apart for extended periods of time so having a quiet place to go was very helpful. We would both recommend the hotel for those visiting the area. It is close to the Mall of the Emirates, […] only a 10 minute walk away, which includes shopping, plenty of eateries, and Ski Dubai. It is a great place to stay and we will probably stay again when I am in town. Read more

Nice place. Bar was smoky but had a pretty good happy hour and plenty of sports on the many televisions. Staff was courteous and helpful. Gym was fine as well as steamroom/sauna.

This hotel very good experience specially if your first time traveler in Dubai.

We prepaid through Expedia. But when we arrived, at 11 pm, our room was not ready! They had to call around and talk to each other about whether or not they had a room for us. When I pointed out that the room was to have two beds (Expedia's confirmation to me and its note to them also said this), there was even more delay. It was also difficult to get […] a bellman to bring our luggage from the car. After all this, we looked forward to relaxing in the room. But when we got to the room, it had a very stong mildew smell as soon as we opened the door. An unmade bed that someone had been sleeping in, and used, wet towels in the bathroom, were evident. I complained to the bellhop, and he called downstairs. What did they do? They sent up someone with new sheets and blankets and a spray bottle of air refresher, as if that would fix the problem! When I said that the room needed cleaning, for example the sink, and toilet, shower, etc., they offered me the adjoining room. But by this point I was angry and wanted to go home. The manager came and offerend us an upgrade to a two bedroom suite. That seemed like an acceptable alternative and we went upstairs to stay in it. The suite was fine BUT in the morning when my friend tried to take a shower, the water was cold and never got warm. We were not impressed. Read more

The hotel Staff was great could not ask for a more helpful group.

The Hotel was very nice and clean. Free Underground Parking was a Bonus. The Hotel Lobby was well maintained, but there was smoking allowed in the Hotel, so that was a bit bothersome. Overall it was very good value for the money.

This a 5 stars hotel at 4 stars price. The hotel staffs are very friendly and the room is big & clean. The Dubai metro train station is only a 5 minutes walk from the hotel. You have the choices of taxi or metro train for transportation. The hotel is also within walking distance to the Mall of the Emerates.

One of our best hotel stays. Ideally located (right next to Mall of the Emirates and with a great view of the Burj al Arab from the pool, gym and terrace), this hotel was impeccably clean, with very friendly service, Very fair rate. I highly recommended.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel staff was friendly and accommodating and the hotel has several restaurants to tickle all taste buds. And then the hotel is perfectly located within walking distance (3min walk) from the Mall of the Emirates and the famous Ski Dubai, with a great view of the Burj Al Arab.

The hotel far exceeded my expectations for a reasonably priced hotel. The staff was attentive, courteous, and extremely professional. It's located right around the corner from the Emirates Mall, which was in my plans because I wanted to ski indoors in the Middle East. The breakfast buffet was outstanding, although overpriced. The sports bar had a great […] staff and atmosphere. The room was spacious, comfortable, and quiet. There were quite a few national swimming teams staying there for a major competition, and the international flavor added to the festive holiday atmosphere (the week before Christmas). The only downsides to my stay were that there isn't a shuttle service to and from the airport, the TV channel selection was extremely limited, and I had to call room service for ice, because there aren't any ice machines. Are there better hotels in Dubai? Most certainly. Are there better hotels for the price? I seriously doubt it. I will definitely return to the Holiday Inn when i return to Dubai. Read more

Overall good hotel. Not in the main tourist area but it is a few blocks walk to Mall of Emirates where Ski Dubai is located. And taxi to most areas will be between USD5 - USD10. Hotel indian restaurant had good food. The front desk was not very good - took forever to check in and to check out even though I was only in line. Also, the front desk had […] problems exchanging large notes for small ones. Read more

I went to Dubai on a 5 day trip and decided I'd try out the Holiday Inn Barsha. I've been to the Mojito Bar before and thought the lobby looked really good for a 4-star hotel. Well appearances can be.. you know the rest. The main problem with this hotel is the service, it's slow and lazy. I've ordered room service 3 times during my stay and every time […] there was something missing, I'd have to call back and tell them to bring me the missing item...and they never did. Ketchup, tea, water, nothing. Moving on...I had a corner room with big windows that made these cracking noises so often and loud, it sounded like rocks were being pelted at the window. It wasn't easy going to sleep. Also, make sure you put a do not disturb sign outside your door at all times, otherwise you'll get a knock every few hours, whether it be house keeping, turn down service, or a mistake (happened twice). I suggest if you're looking for a hotel, stay somewhere else. Read more

Our bellhop, not what official title they have, was very friendly our whole stay there. The room was huge but was at the rear of the hotel. The iron we had delivered to our room should have been tested prior to delivering it to our room because it delayed us on our Valentines dinner. The price of the internet could be alittle less in the rooms. The […] Dolphin Bar on the roof was very relaxing and the shisha service was good as well. We booked the room during a discounted time, but the hardness of the bed isn't worth the full price of the room. Overall the stay was fine! Read more

Positives: 5 Min walk to Sharaf DG station and 15 min walk to Mall of The Emirates. Staff very helpful. Negatives: Air conditioning is extremely loud no matter which fan speed. My room had a connecting door with next room with no insulation and I could hear everything in next room at 2am every morning so was difficult to sleep.

The staff are fantastic, very helpful and friendly. The hotel is comfortable and the location is excellent. Public transport is only a few minutes walk away, so the hotel is well located to the main sights of Dubai.

Very nice hotel and very friendly staff. It was a little difficult to walk to places from the hotel but the subway was only a 2-3 minute walk. It is parrically 500 yards from the emirates mall but it is easier to get the subway than try and cross the roads to the mall. There is also a lot of building work and a major road outside the hotel but to be […] fair we could not hear any noise inside but as we arrived the area didn't look the best. In a year or two I think this will be a fantastic location. For now it is still good value and excellent service, cleanliness etc. Read more

Overall good Hotel experience. Hotel was conveniently located near the Dubai Metro, allowing easy access to downtown. Lovely open atrium. Issues however include location right beside a busy expressway, which can be noisy.

A good hotel at the price you pay.. Was a bit expensive, but if compared to other Dubai hotels, I feel it a good stay. We arrived at the hotel at 8 am, but the staff was polite and gave us a twin bed for freshening up and promised a double later. Went out to downtown and they shifted my luggage while I was out and and no problems shifting. In all, will […] recommend the hotel. Read more

Generally good experience for the price Even had free wi fi in my room although they don't give this to everyone one I think Only down sides are they will not stop the loud Arabic music on the roof terrace so you can't enjoy a quiet drink or read there- shame really Also the cleaner kept knocking on my door several times which ruined an otherwise excellent […] stay Read more

I admit I normally stay in 5* hotels for business, but after a last minute conference booking, this was the best option for this trip. I know that Holiday Inn is pretty reliable, but I was impressed. The room was comfortable, clean, and staff sent up an iron and ironing board for me without a problem. It's also within easy walking distance of the Mall […] of the Emirates. Downsides? It wasn't that easy to get a normal taxi at the hotel, so you end up taking the luxury ones that cost about twice as much (although still not exactly expensive if you're a Brit!). Also, the in-room wifi is not included in the room rate which I think is a bit shortsighted in these connected times. But the lobby wifi is free, and there are sofas on each floor where you can sit and connect. Overall, decent hotel at a VERY decent price. I would stay again if I needed to be in this part of Dubia.

I travelled with a male colleague and our twin room was big and comfy. Complimentary water in the room very welcome. The bar is a tad expensive and full of smokers and some 'working ladies', but the smoke is more of a problem. The hotel is easily located for the train service between stations 34 and 33, the cost of which is very well priced. Also the […] Mall of the Emmirates is close by with lots of food outlets should you not want to eat at the hotel. We only had breakfast which was hot and plentiful with some very attentive staff and some not so in terms of clearing dirty crockery etc. Read more

They have the best manager ever Mr. Maaezam helped me a lot because I requested an interconnected room but I was given a side to side room but he promised that the next day I will be given an interconnected room and he stuck to his promise I was really happy with him.
