"It is in a nice and convenient part of town. They did not have good directions for getting into the property. Did not even explain that there was another bathroom to use with a shower which would have been nice considering the bathrooms were always occupied. Worth the stay, but could have been better. "

"From the address provided via Expedia, it is impossible to find this property. Had it not been for a caring and persistent taxi driver, I would never have found it. This accommodation is one large apartment with 5-6 bedrooms. You are renting a bedroom and have access to the kitchen, living room, etc., shared with anyone else who is staying there. After finally finding the place after 2 hours of searching, I left and checked into the Ramada next door. "

"I wasn't even welcome! They left me on the street and a guest, to help me, went to reception and brought back the following response from the woman who was working at the time: that I had made the reservation on the same day and that things didn't work that way. Extremely rude and not true, as I made the reservation 12 days earlier. I was left alone on the street at 3 a.m., with three suitcases and nowhere to go. "

Shangri-La Dubai

Shangri-La Dubai

10/10 Excellent
"Everything - room, food and most of all the level of excellence in the staff. This Shangrila takes the Expedia VIP program to heart. I was provided with incredible perks. Instead of a room upgrade (because my room was amazing already), I was able to get Horizon Lounge access instead. The lounge experience here is 5 stars. Amazing breakfast, afternoon tea/snacks and evening cocktails. The Lounge staff about the best I’ve ever encountered. Such a great stay overall. Location is also excellent for anyone doing business in DIFC or near Burj / Business Bay. Well done, Shangrila! "
