I will stay here again. ##### Khaili ### 10/10 Excellent #### oyima, manchester, england Aug 17, 2007 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### what a beautiful holiday this hotel was really nice it was stiuated in a very good place to we had a mall next to us about 10 mins walk and we had a bigger one in the city centre which was a 15min drive. we were also not to far from from sighseeing places and it was cheap in taxis when compared to the english pound. Lots of resturants near the hotel as wel. i loved it there and would definately stay there again. it budget but nice is what you are looking forward then this would be your ideal place its worth the price really nice. ##### oyima ### 2/10 Terrible #### Jo, Ireland Jul 9, 2007 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Not what we saw on the internet We were horrified at the condition of the two bedroom unit that we were given at Le Meridien Residence Baniyas. The reviews had said that it was clean and comfortable. They must have been other rooms as the one we were in was very dirty, the furniture was all very old and beaten up, the kitchen was rusty and old. Even the toiletries had the Le meridien logo faded off them like they had been washed and refilled a hundred times. There was definitely something fishy going on- - and we were pretty upset about it as we were travelling with two small children, had been on a 15 hour flight and the place was a nightmare. We complained and when my husband said that it wasn't like the pictures we saw on the internet, we were offered a room at Residence Deira and taken there by hotel car. Residence Deira was absolutely lovely, looked just like the pictures we had seen on the internet and was clean and comfortable. We were delighted with the staff. I couldn't help but feel that someone was trying to dupe us in the other place. ##### Jo ### 6/10 Okay #### Mushtaq, Birmingham Jul 4, 2007 #### Value for money Its on a side street off Banyas Square, slightly hard to find at first and it seemed not many people had heard of it. I was pleasantly surprised with this hotel. It was value for money. The hotel also offers a complimentry transfer to the sister Meridian Hotel which has swimming pools and leisure facilities. It was a bit plain and maybe not suitable for kids, also very busy area. however it was okay for me. ##### Mushtaq ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dedsy, Jabriya, Kuwait Jun 20, 2007 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excellent, not recommended for light sleepers Excellent customer sevice, definetely superior service. Business district, trafic noise unevitable, Will definetly go back to this hotel ##### Dedsy ### 8/10 Good #### Lynda, London Jun 18, 2007 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Excellent location. Residence Banyias Apartments was located in the heart of Deira (city centre). The gold, textile and spice souks were a 15-20 min walk from the apartment. Deira shopping centre was also close by. Local grocery stores are also plentiful in the area. Staff very friendly and helpful. Apartments were basic but very clean.There seemed to be alot of men loitering on the neighbouring streets but they were harmless.Found it quite difficult to get a taxi at times but staff were able to hail taxis on our behalf. Apartments are 10 mins away from airport. Godd value apartments allowed me to spend my money in the souks!!! ##### Lynda ### 6/10 Okay #### Silvia, München May 24, 2007 #### Ganz o.k Sehr nettes und freundliches Servicepersonal. Geräumige Zimmer mit Küchenzeile und TV. Da ich dieses Hotel nur mit Übernachtung ohne Frühstück gebucht habe war es ganz o.k. ##### Silvia ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephen, West Midlands May 11, 2007 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great value for money Location is a bit chaotic with the Metro contruction work, taxis are difficult to find but the hotel apartment is unbeatable in terms of value for money and the friendliness of the staff. If you want real, traditional Dubai this is the place to be. If you want glossy, Westernised, beach holiday Dubai then go Jumeirah way but be prepared to pay several times over. ##### Stephen ### 4/10 Poor #### martine, france Apr 29, 2007 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### trop bruyant exterieur et interieur, j'ai dormi sur un canapé qui sentait le moisi,pendant 9 nuits,et avec un seul drap qui n'a pas été changé!!!!.... pas de fer à repasser,de sèche cheveux etc...rien de ce qui était annocé, L'hotel est trop bruyant. vraiment déçue. ##### martine ### 8/10 Good #### Mukhtar, London Apr 27, 2007 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Really nice people The staff were really polite and they took care of any of our requirements. The only slight problem we had was with the shower not working properly but other then that it was a bargain. ##### Mukhtar ### 8/10 Good #### Rich, Leeds Apr 4, 2007 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great affordable hotel in a decent location. Great little hotel, hidden slightly off Baniyas Square. Room is like what you would expect from a premier travel lodge but with an additional kitchen (so very clean and modern). Hotel staff are friendly and helpfull. ##### Rich ### 8/10 Good #### sophie, london Apr 3, 2007 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### nice residence we had nice holidays, the residence was good but the air conditionning was too high 17 degrees every where so I was freezing every night! ##### sophie ### 6/10 Okay #### Herve, Singapour Feb 15, 2007 Disliked: Staff & service #### Bon rapport qualite/prix Par rapport aux autres hotels de Dubai c'est un des moins cher. Il ne faut pas s'attendre a des miracles a ce prix mais c'est tout a fait correct et bien situe. Le service est un peu endormi ##### Herve ### 8/10 Good #### lucien, pau, france Feb 13, 2007 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### pas mal du tout accueil et service impeccable, personnel tres serviable, nous etions au 10ème étage donc pas de bruits de rue bien que place dans un quartier animé, à proximite de tout sans transport, souks, commerces, resto - un seul bemol concernant l'equipement pas de seche cheveu, ni fer à repasser comme prevu (donc si j'avais su j'aurai amene mon seche cheveu) - salle de bain impeccable, changement des serviettes tous les jours, menage et meme vaisselle faite par le personnel ##### lucien ### 6/10 Okay #### Stephane, Abu Dhabi Feb 2, 2007 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities #### Bon rapport prix:prestation. confort moyen. Pour etre en plein centre du "vieux dubai" cet endroit offre un rapport qualité/prix honnête. La taille des appartements est tres bonne. L'état général du lieu est vieux et necessiterai un peu de peinture Fraîche. Attention : Pas de parking prévu, et se garer autour de Baniyas Square est un cauchemar. ##### Stephane ### 4/10 Poor #### Neil, London Jan 28, 2007 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Major problems - this is definitely not 5\* or anywhere near... I booked this hotel based on Expedia rating it as a 5\* property. The building is extremely old and the room I was given had cockroaches in it. Upon discovering these, I was offered another room on a different floor, however I didn't feel that the residence's cleanliness standards were up to scratch in general. This doesn't feel like a Le Meridian property and I was extremely disappointed. After a lot of effort, I was offered to be moved to another apartment block. However the management were unable to get a taxi for 1 hour and I ended up having to walk to the new place. What if I'd needed to get to the airport? The location is pretty horrible - a very old part of Dubai and not recommended for tourists. This doesn't even feel like a 3\* establishment - I hope Le Meridien make urgent improvements that are clearly necessary to restore this place to a suitable standard. ##### Neil ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jan 16, 2007 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### hotel que je recommenderai à mes amis Personnel très agréable disponible 24/24h qui fait tout pour faciliter le séjour ( appel taxi, réveil...) hotel situé au centre proche des souks donc un peu bruillant mais pas génant. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### d, Dallas, Tx Jan 7, 2007 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Affordable, Clean, & Centrally- located The rates were affordable, and the hotel staff were friendly and accommodating. The location is in walking distance to shops and to public transportation (buses, boats), and airport shuttle was provided. ##### d ### 2/10 Terrible #### Jochen, Cape Town Jan 3, 2007 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Nie wieder Mir ist nicht klar, wie dieses Hotel mit dem Namen "Le Meridien" werben klar. Es hat nichts, aber auch gar nichts mit dem Niveau der Meridien-Gruppe zu tun. ##### Jochen ### 8/10 Good #### TZAbidin Dec 20, 2006 #### , Location Very good! but room very basic needs but i think it serves the purpose of a business traveller. Shopping districts only walking distance. Don't expect too much with the price you are paying..... Very COMFORTABLE but not luxury/ ##### TZAbidin ### 6/10 Okay #### Olli, Finland Dec 19, 2006 #### Good choice We didn't need a breakfast - instead we wanted to have a small kitchen of our own - so this hotel was just what we wanted. The price was decent and service ok. The manager was very helpful when problems occured. I can really recommend this as a nice city hotel with helpful staff, and the services and facilities through the main hotel (le meridien) where excellent. ##### Olli ### 8/10 Good #### world travelor, Saudi Arabia Nov 22, 2006 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### best bang for your buck in Dubai I like Dubai for its amenities and I do not go there for the conspicuous consumption that has seduced the local gulf residents into ignoring the inflation and spending too much money for a hotel room. I think that Le Meridien Baniyas Square is an incredible deal. The room is adequate and it has a small kitchenette to boot. It is immaculate and represents Le Meridien well. The service is excellent and staffed by the employees of the more expensive Le Meridien facilities in Dubai.The location in Diera is very exotic and old world feeling and adds to the adventure of being in the Middle East, contrary to the amusement park atmosphere that is becoming Dubai's claim to fame. The opportunity to use the spa and pool at Le Meridien Dubai adds to the deal. Go for it! ##### world travelor
