Having recently stayed in the Lotus Boutique Hotel I can safetly say that I would not recommend it to anyone. The Hotel is located in a rundown area of the city and while close to the airport is miles away from anywhere else of interest. To say that the breakfast was disappointing would be an understatement; stale bread, terrible coffee and hot chocolate, poor selection of fruit and no yoghurt, however the restaurant food is not bad. The general level of cleanliness was poor. The swimming pool opening hours are bizaare, claiming to open from 7am-12pm and again from 6pm to 9pm, ensuring that optimum sun hours are missed.While staff were generally nice some were unable to carry out the basic task of ordering a taxi and providing information about the general area. If however you feel like a laugh stay for one night to read the in-house hotel information pack which lays claim to an endocrinologist and nutritionist designed menu!

Stayed there for one night. Great ambience. Veru courteous staff. Rooms are well-appointed. The only thing missing was a tea/coffee maker and an iron/ironing board.
The crooners and belly dance at the bar are very entertaining. Nicely located in deira business district. I would love to go back.....Vijendra Gupta, New Delhi, India

When we first entered the room we thought there had been some kind of misunderstanding. We couldn't believe that the money we paid would buy us such a big, spacious and nice room. Bed was also huge. But after double-checking we found that everything was in order.

The roof-top pool was what you can imagine. Not the biggest, but since no one else was there during our stay that didn't matter much.

The only problem was actually the magnetic key card, which we had to change twice a day. Annoying? Yes.

Another quite weird thing was the overcharging for internet (both wireless and wired). Around AED70 per day is actually a third of the price of the room.

We were surprised about how big and spread out Dubai is, and soon realized that the part of Deira where this hotel is doesn't really offer much. The climate is hot and walking is not really an option, so be prepared to go where you need with cabs or the brand new Dubai Metro.

Breakfeast was not included in our particular booking, but we had it the last day and it was really worth it. Big selection of everything you can imagine in the morning - whether you're from the Middle East or from Europe.

We liked this hotel, the biggest room and bed we ever stayed to :),very clean room, amable staff, they even have parking place in front of the hotel, you can easily get to any place in Dubai or Sharjah, the pool is at the top of the building and is little but we were the only ones who used it so it weren t any inconvenient
I liked also the breakfast(in one day i wanted something special and they prepared that food)
There is an exchange office, shops, at the hotel
Internet isn t free
