A top-hotel, which its 5 stars more than earned has. The breakfast buffet was very diverse, asian, american and european. Room service was very engaged and three days in the hotel we have really enjoyed. In the bathroom with its 7 metres wide, it was almost lost and the king size bed caused no back problems. read more

Overwhelming! Had room 1313 and a great view of the skyline Dubai and a creek, that means investors with small yachts. In the evening there was even beautiful water games from 22 o'clock. Right attached to the hotel is the festival mall with incredible many shops, restaurants etc. We were thrilled by service and cleanliness. read more

R people on business trip, the close proximity to airport guess (10 minutes) one perfect location, hotel nearby own golf course as well as close with 6 kilometer on the square Dubai creek, 175 Euro, discount tomorrow at 8 h book! Perfect is the bar, the health club, the pool area with combination to the clown Plaza! Definitely a heliflug for 100 Euro half hour book! The breakfast from 6:30 A. M. is grandios, very varied per continent themed buffet! Great fruit juices, muesli, fish, sushi, arabic cuisine bd everything you need. Service but clear orders get, then runs ... it, otherwise you had to wait long. The deluxe rooms are are very spacious, in 1519 used very recommendable, perfect sunrise with a view of bursh caliphate at 6:30 o'clock temperature evenings 27 degrees, during the day in the 30 to 32 degrees. Recommendable is a cruise on the creek, a trip to Dubai mall in combination with a visit to the observation deck of the bursh khalifa as well as terrific was the Jeep tour through the desert with dinner in the desert when Bauchtanz and water-whistle! Some grandiose days. The hotel is about 15 kilometers away from bursh, to the clubs cavali, armand and buddha about 20 minutes very recommendable the taxes are, clean, accurate accounting and good connections. The hotel is conditionally suitable for families the proximity of the sea are accommodated want. Travel time safe 20 to 30 minutes! I would myself definitely again there travel! read more

We had an unforgettable stay. We had the club floor and lounge room. I have rarely been such attentive hotel employees seen. From the concierge-the US in advance tickets for El Divo concert worried had to to the pool boy. The massages in the spa area you should in any case try it. Unfortunately I think it unfortunately, that the sauna and steambath in the toilets area of the pool is housed and not in the spa. The rooms have everything you need but unfortunately like everywhere in Dubai go the windows not to open. The towels should only be ... changed, if you on the floor and are not automatically 2 times daily. The food on the club floor is very good and there is a relaxed atmosphere. We are definitely coming again. read more

We were because of our round trip within 1 week twice, each for one night, in this hotel accommodated. The pictures show the suite and to the other a standard double room. Both rooms were of the cleanliness excellent. The mini bar was filled enough. The breakfast simply a dream! The pool is based on other hotels in Dubai a bit poor canceled. But at a cooling there is anyway not to be thought, the junior it sufficed. Who more pool fun to have would like, is in another hotel better cared for. Due to my status in Priority Club ... we were allowed the room until 18:00 use, of course with the late departure flights to Germany, Austria and the Switzerland, already class. read more

    For a city hotel I can only say great. If you by the pool is you think really not that one in the town is. Lots of palm trees and great great loungers with upholstery and sun screens. Towels you really need no carry forward, the save a lot of space in the suitcase. Pool-boys are super nice and always ready for a conversation ready.

A good city hotel near the airport ( about 10 minutes drive). The airport you can't hear. The hotel is in a shopping mall festival city redevelopment, so that one does not the building have to leave. In the center there is about 120 shops and is for Dubai relatively small. But there are plenty of shops for every available. In the 3rd floor there is a food corner. There there is something for everyone. Breakfast is gigantic and has a massive choice. The hotel has a own bakery, where you can enjoy the staff the baking can watch. You ... can early pizza or fresh fish enjoy. Itself in the morning you can Japanese and Asian breakfast. The service is very good and each desire is quickly. The room service comes 2 times per day and takes the rooms back on preceding Endorser. The highlight is the bathtub, where the water from the ceiling is. Like that something is us in our past journeys not yet happened.-) We had a corner room with a view to the harbor. At present, the construction opposite the hotel has been phased out. There are no noise on. From time to time a helicopter (2 to 3 times per day) and gets visitors to a circular flight over Dubai from. The metro is nearly complete or you can in 15 to 20 minutes drive into the city go. read more

This hotel belongs to one of my favorite hotels. The location is good located near the airport however one didn't hear any of it. At the hotel limit equal to a large shopping mall where you can eat very well and souvenirs received. The arrival was done with a shuttle bus from the airline company me within couple minutes to the hotel brought. My flight already at 5 o'clock in Dubai as I 6 at the hotel arrived. As I previously an e-mail sent I could my room refer. For a small obolus I booked a nice suite also for ... representative purposes use. The suite had a extra toilet for guests, as well as a huge large dining table. Greeted with a fruit plates and a nice drinks. Breakfast and light snacks there was in the lounge also. The hotel pool is shared with the Crown Plaza but next door. My favorite part was the view from the bathroom in the direction Desert like. read more

hectic hotel, nice room

The hotel is just one of many in Dubai, but we didn't blown away. The room was very nice, large bath with rain shower and bathtub. Very annoying the air conditioning was, directly on the bed or our faces blown. Without air conditioning we couldn't sleep, since it was too warm, so you had to make the head under the ceiling, so that there was no program. Manually lower attitude was not possible. Breakfast is served in the restaurant Anise, which rather cafeteria feeling-it's very loud, hectic and partly bad slow service. If you arrive later than 9.15 o'clock ... arrived, one had to wait and wait. Nice pool area with comfortable beach chairs and large sunshades. As taxis in Dubai is quite affordable, the location of this hotel is it doesn't really matter. Visits in Dubai is, of course, a visit to the burj Khalifa, the Dubai Mall as well as a desert safari, which should be in the hotel was very reasonably priced can book. Completely great and experience the rich we found the visit of the burj Al Arab the culinary flight, a five course menu had booked, we could in five restaurants of the burj Al Arab food as well as two hundred meters altitude in the Skyviewbar drink a cocktail. Even though the food was really not good, we regret it not, it was extremely family friendly. It is truly a wonderful hotel, the service was great, the ambience unique. read more

At any time again into the Intercont DFC

  • September 2011
We loved the 10,9.-17,9. In this perfect house, about ten minutes by car from the airport. Aircraft noise almost none heard. The rooms are about 25 m2, the bathroom has again to the 10 m2. Relatively new decor, cleanliness everywhere and given at any time. The international staff is very friendly and tried hard to please the guests. Direct access to the shopping mall (DFC) festival city. The fourth floor is the beautifully landscaped pool area with palms, plenty of well-kept wooden pool chairs with thick cushions and umbrellas. You are looking for a good spirit of ... the beach chairs with towels was the same. Pool bar available. Decent relaxation music can be heard. There is also the transition to the Crown Plaza Hotel. Views of the creek or until the burj Khalifa, about 20 minutes by taxi away. Restaurants or cafes in the hotel and in the adjacent mall. There were enough excursion possibilities, just ask the concierge. Taxis are relatively cheap, to the airport about 30 dirham, the burj Khalifa & Dubai mall about 50 Dirham. 1 €= five dirhams conversion about. The Intercont is not a pure hotel for business travelers. Which however didn't mean, you can experience a relaxing holiday, as long as you are not looking for entertainment or loud entertainment is important. Conclusion: anytime again! read more

The hotel was located directly at the dubai festival city with shopping center. The rooms partly. Wonderful view of the sea. The staff was extremely friendly. It only took a bit too long, to the luggage in the room was. The short trip to the very nice pool was well worth it. The (smoking) bar was even a little bit too late. The rooms are large and attractive equipped. Everything was very clean. In the bathroom, I missed shower gel. Therefor there was an iron and ironing board ☺ For a short stay I would recommend this hotel again and ... again book. read more

Would again at any time the intercontinental dubai stay. We had a quiet, large room with a view of the marina. Wide Breakfast (for example, sushi, ind. And arabic dishes, american and european breakfast.) in the modern breakfast room, with very friendly staff. I especially enjoyed, that there is a decent pillows (feather pillows, six different Kissentypen stand to the selection! Also for people with allergies) to sleep there, and the next day on the hefty very large mattress without back disorders woke up. read more

Modern and very well-maintained hotel, lots of loving designer-details, very friendly and helpful staff. Children are very welcome and will be presented and with great attention and service. The location of the hotel is very comfortable and convenient and offers a great view of the skyline of dubai and the khalifa! The taxi ride to the 20-25 minutes is about jumeira beach. Right integrated in the area is a beautiful and attractive shopping mall with a romantic streamlet and possibilities to play for kids. There is also a amusement park and many events and concerts around the complex in the ... middle of a marina is embedded. Our room was a two bedroom suite with 145 square feet. A very nice room, fantastic view from 22. Floor but almost too huge. ☺ There were three of us a bit lost in this large lodge! ☺ However, for a larger family safe top. Also the double rooms are very beautifully which we also looked at and compared with the crowne plaza next door. We personally liked the style of the intercontinental better while both hotels were very well maintained. We have stayed several times in dubai with the choice of hotel and we were very happy and satisfied. read more

Great hotel right on the dubai creek in the deira district. Keen Staff, which was in the rush at the Breakfast at the table award more often stagger device. Food and drink left nothing to be desired. Rooms are modern equipped with interesting design of the bath/vanity area. Traffic connections to the public network is not so great, but in dubai, where taxis are frequent and cheap, only a subordinate role. As a base for a stay in this fascinating area an absolute recommendation on our part! read more
