Rooms were good (not big though), furniture was really good, clean bedding, and clean bathrooms. Breakfast wasn’t the best, because every morning was same thing, not much variety either, but nevertheless it was filling. Swimming pool and area on the roof was really lovely. By the way, cannot swim if there a strong winds, as dangerous to be on a roof in such weather. Adjacent room was full of people and we cannot properly sleep one night – was so noisy. The music from the club was really loud, we could hear it in the passage, but nothing could hear from the rooms - 7 store. Staff was helpful, they don’t smile here a lot, do they? The restaurant area, lifts, lobby, passages look like outdated.

Breakfast was not very pleasant, hot food only luke warm.
Nightclubs downstairs playing thumping music and disrupting sleep, I heard the bass from the 7th floor!
Laundry service, I had to call them to find out where my laundry was 2 days after handing it in.
Not much decent in walking distanceof hotel, restaurant choices limited.
I heard a lot of people complaining at reception at various things.
The fitness centre was poorly equipped with outdated equipment

Most of the other reviews are dead on - but breakfast is not that bad. The problem with loud musik from the night club in the hotel is well known - also by the hotel itself. In my room on the 4th floor (night club is on the 1st floor) the music was only hearable when I went to sleep, but if you are boteherd by this, then do as I did: use earplugs. Worked for me!
The breakfast mentioned in other reviews is a buffet with simple and cheap food, but OK to keep you going until midday. Just don't compare with high class hotels. Than you will be fine.
I appreciated the top floor and roof: large area for sun bathing, a small pool and a great view (see photos taken from there). Inside is a well equipped and well functioning gym with everything to keep you fit. Two steam rooms also (men+women), good facilities, a guy handling you towels and selling drinks.
I never tried the hotel restaurants, plenty of places in the area. I did try the hotels city sightseeing tour (cost 150.- for 4 hours), and this was very good, skilled guide and good places. Also flexible to the passengers whishes (small minibus for 8 visitors).
Good Wifi (but costy at 40.- for 24 hours), buy an access code in reception.

Located in Bur Dubai, this is one of the many 3 star hotels along the stretch of Khaleed Bin Waleed Road. The closest Bus Stand is less than 5 minutes away (by walk - Al Ghubaiba Bus Stn) and the Metro (Rashidiya Line) is approx 2-3 kms away!

We chose to stay at Highland City based on the reviews here and weren't disappointed one bit! The rooms and the bathrooms were very clean and most of the staff were very courteous and helpful. Yes, the continental breakfast is not all that great but we were surprised that they also had an Indian spread for breakfast for the entire period of our stay, not sure if this is available throughout the year though.

Like the other travelers who have reviewed this hotel mentioned, there is quite a bit of noise from the hotel's Night Club located on the Mezzanine floor, None of us lost sleep over the noise, probably because our rooms were on the 4th floor but am sure it will be a major inconvenience to guests allotted lower floor rooms! I would suggest you specifically ask for a room on the higher floor to stay away from this noise!

For the Indian/Vegetarian specific travelers, this hotel is operated by the Sarovar group of hotels who are an established brand in India, most of the staff are Indians and their hospitality is very good! There are also quite a few Indian restaurants around this hotel, the closest being Rajdhani, just a few hundred meters away.

WIFI Internet is available but on a chargeable basis, I paid 40 Dirhams for 24 hours of usage with a 3 day validity, fair price! This hotel is also equipped with a pool located on the top floor!

Overall, we enjoyed our stay and had absolutely no problems, I recommend this hotel!
