This Hotel looks nothing like the photo's show, it is Dark, not much natural light enters, staff were not very nice apart from one Lady who helped us with regards to getting boiled water for our baby. Alot of noise from the night club very smoky. Luckly we only had one night otherwise we would 've considered moving to another hotel. The Room was small, bathroom could do with some renovations. Also the Pool is tiny and pretty much usless, looked a bit like a building site around the pool area.

Well, we were a group of 12 persons from DPI Co. (the company which I work for) who traveled to Dubai to visit GITEX exhibition on October 2008. It was an organized tour and paid by company, so I have no exact information regarding the price.

The Orchid Hotel Dubai is a decent 3* hotel but in a good area. It's not acutually luxury; it's just a cheap (relational to prices in Dubai) place to stay and sleep for few nights. If you're on business in Dubai for maximum one week and you're looking for a budget hotel then Orchid is a good one.

The noise problem that many users mentioned in this forum is still there, but mostly for the 2nd and 3rd floor. Our room (me and my colleague Maziar) was in the 4th floor and we could hear only a weak sound from night clubs in the first floor.

The hotel serves buffet breakfast and lunch included in its price. The number of choices is not bad and foods are acceptable. The rooms are really small, but clean. The pool on rooftop is actually very small, not should call it a pool! The lobby is small in size and very decent.

Taxi is a real problem in Dubai these days, and this hotel can't do anything for you too. But it has some regular van services to some shopping centers and beach that you can use.

The location is good, in Deira and close to City Center and Al-Nasser sq. where many hotels are is sorroundings.

My wife and I stayed at the orchid hotel for 3 nights. It's a good hotel with clean rooms and good location. Our room was at the 6th floor and the night club didn't bother us, but one of our friends who was at the 2nd floor had some problems with the noise. So, if you want to rest at night, you can ask the receptionist to give you a room at the top floors. The meal is good but the restaurant is small and sometimes you should wait for a seat. The hotel is near to main roads and there are a lot of restaurants, fast foods, shopping centers and supermarkets around it.
