We enjoyed a fantastic full-board stay at this conference hotel, which gave us access to 6 out of the 18 restaurants dine-around à la carte restaurants (Italian, Spanish, Chinese, Thai, Pub style, Mixed restaurant in a garden setting with live music on the weekends, and Yamaha a buffet restaurant with themed nights) Drinks and desserts were included during meal times.
Our room was spacious, clean, and well-maintained. Cleaned daily, night tuck-in too! We had a private patio overlooking lush greenery with garden access was a lovely spot to relax and soak up the sun - rare given the location. Surprisingly large bed and I really enjoyed and miss the most comfortable pillows! Despite being near the airport, it’s not too noisy rooms are fairly sound proof. Free parking, free wifi available, kids stay free!!
The hotel ground is nice and green. Access to the village restaurants, sheesha and entertainment is a nice touch. Location is also very convenient for exploring Dubai, whether by car, taxi, or metro.
The staff were exceptional, attentive, spoke great English, provided top-tier service throughout our stay. Special thanks to everyone, especially the Yamaha restaurant manager, chefs and our porter Mr. M. Raffiq, who went above and beyond to assist my elderly father and handled my young child's tantrums with grace and kindness.
One minor concern was the presence of pork on-site. We were reassured that it is cooked separately, along with veg and halal meats, ensuring no cross-contamination. While initially disappointing, the clarification gave us peace of mind and we were happy especially as a lot of local Arabs eat here too and the hotel manager confidently explained that separate kitchens are used.
Coffee, tea and cold drinks were not available through out the day (only during meal allocated slots) and cafe access was also excluded.
No indoor pool and didn’t have great spa access, massage and treatments prices were very expensive, so decided against using the facility.
Overall, I would give it 4.5 out of 5. We had a wonderful time and we would book again.

I have stayed at this hotel many times over the years and recently returned from a visit which was a last minute winter sun break. I have stayed at this hotel since 1982 under various hotel groups, but Le Meridien do a fantastic job in a hotel that has been open for many many years. I love the location of the hotel, close to the airport, easily accessible for sightseeing. The hotel offer a variety of room types with meal deal packages to suit all. I chose the half board package which was more than suitable. Rooms, restaurants and pool facilities are great. I would like to compliment Maw from the guest services desk who helped check me in with ease. Maw was exceptional in helping to resolve a small issue which was not the fault of the hotel. Lambi at the guest services desk was also very helpful but I must add that I did deal with others at the desk, all of who delivered exceptional levels of customer service, I apologise for not remembering names. Security staff leader Mr. B him Prashad recognised that I was a return guest and went above and beyond and arranged a cake which was presented to me. Thank you Bhim. Le Mirage supervisor Dipendra who I have known for many years of staying at the hotel, he ensured his teams were available to ensure all guests around the pool area were looked after. Thank you to you all for looking after me serving my lunches, preparing drinks and overall friendliness and helpfulness. Dipendra leads by example, Hareesh, Tony, Akhill and all others, again too many names to remember. My room steward who looked after the servicing of my room did an excellent job, meeting and greeting in the corridor, recognising that I liked and drank a lot of tea and made sure stocks were replenished to my needs. Thank you Naushad.

A lot to digest? Read an AI-generated summary of recent traveller reviews.
The service in this hotel is fantastic: friendly and professional. The good service of the staff in the lobby is worth mentioning: I would like to thank Rohan in particular for his help with the airport transfer, carrying luggage, getting taxis, etc. The hotel is very spacious because it is mainly built on two floors. This has the advantage that several pools are embedded. Even in the "normal" room category you have 3 pools at your disposal. There are a total of 18 restaurants/bars, so you don't have to leave the house to eat a variety of food. The Yalumba breakfast restaurant is excellent - there is everything your heart desires: Arabic, international, Indian, Danish pastries, a hot buffet and freshly prepared egg dishes including Egg Benedict with salmon, juices, cappuccino, fresh fruit and much more. At Yalumba you can also book an all-you-can-eat buffet in the evening on some days (e.g. on fish days including oysters, prawns, etc.) at a reasonable price for Dubai (between €50 and €80 depending on whether you order alcohol or not). The rooms are large and modern, have a walk-in shower and a separate bathtub. The beds have just the right mattress and there are comfortable pillows. If that's not enough for you, you can order "your" preferred pillow from a pillow menu. You should book the ground floor though, as you then have a terrace. The first floor has no balcony - unless you book a much higher room category. The hotel is spotlessly clean and the housekeeping is perfect. I've been there with my 91-year-old mother for the 4th time. We only booked 3 nights as a stopover the first time, as the hotel is right next to the international airport (aircraft noise is hardly audible - not at all in the rooms). After that we had long-term stays of 2 weeks because my mother can no longer go to the sea, which is why the expensive beach hotels are not so interesting for us. Also interesting for smokers: you can always smoke outside and there is a large and comfortable smoking room in the lobby bar. Always happy to enjoy the warm sun in Dubai in this hotel.

stayed at Le Méridien Dubai Hotel & Conference Centre for a business trip and found it to be a well-rounded choice for both work and leisure. The **location** is ideal for travelers needing proximity to the airport (just a 5-minute drive) and quick access to Dubai’s metro system, though it’s a bit removed from downtown attractions like Burj Khalifa (20-25 minutes by car).
The hotel truly shines as a **business hub**. The conference center is massive, modern, and well-equipped with high-tech AV systems, spacious meeting rooms, and reliable Wi-Fi. Event staff were professional and attentive, ensuring everything ran smoothly.
My room was clean, comfortable, and functional, with a sleek design. The soundproofing was excellent, which was a relief given the airport proximity. However, the decor felt slightly dated compared to newer Dubai hotels.
dining options are diverse. I enjoyed the breakfast buffet at Latest Recipe (plenty of international choices), and dinner at Yalumba was a highlight for its live cooking stations. That said, prices are steep, even for Dubai.
Staff were courteous and efficient, though service at peak times (e.g., breakfast rush) could feel rushed. The concierge team was helpful for arranging last-minute transport and local recommendations.
- **Pool area:** A sprawling oasis with lush gardens and multiple pools—perfect for unwinding after meetings. - **Spa:** The spa offered rejuvenating treatments, though bookings fill up fast. - **Fitness center:** Well-maintained and open 24/7.
**Pros:** - Outstanding conference facilities for business travelers. - Airport proximity and free shuttle service. - Extensive dining options and serene pool area.
**Cons:** - Rooms could use a style refresh. - On-site dining is pricey. - Not in the heart of Dubai’s tourist hotspots.
Finally I need to thank chetry from house keeping for helping me and cleaning the room for last 4 days

Got a day room for crazy long layover in Dubai. It is not cheap, but clean and nice. There is a shuttle from the airport T3, but it is largely only once per hour. Breakfast buffet is not included in the room - will set you back $25 if you pay at check-in and something like $35 if you pay at the buffet. Room is large and clean. Lots of TV channels. My room did not have a walk-in shower; it was a tub with a hand-held shower wand, which I did not care for. Lots of food options in the restaurant.

I thoroughly enjoyed my two-night stay at this hotel—it truly felt like a resort-style retreat where you could easily spend your entire time without leaving. The service from all staff members was exceptional.
I stayed in a Royal Club room for NZD $735. These rooms come with great perks, including breakfast at either the Royal Club Lounge or the Yalumba Restaurant , as well as afternoon tea, evening cocktails, and canapés (does not include the other club lounge in the main hotel building). The variety of food available is more than enough to avoid the need to dine out. They also provide complimentary airport pick-up and drop-off in a Tesla if arranged through the front desk. Just a short ride from the airport, or a 10 minute walk via a walk over bridge to/from airport metro. I found I never needed to use the metro, as the hotel offers a shuttle service to various locations.
The room itself was very spacious, featuring a luxurious deep jacuzzi bath, a separate shower, and even a walk-in wardrobe with a makeup mirror and dressing table. I found the bed incredibly comfortable. My room was on the fifth floor, the same level as the exclusive pool reserved for Royal Club guests. You still have access to all the other pools, which are just a short walk across the grounds. The Royal Club is housed in its own building, slightly apart from the main hotel, but it’s only a few minutes’ walk to the main hotel's pools & restaurants.
I’ve stopped over in Dubai many times, and this hotel’s proximity to the airport makes it incredibly convenient for a short stay. However, if you’re new to Dubai and planning to visit some attractions, be aware that it’s quite a distance from the main tourist spots.
I will be booking this hotel again for my next stopover in Dubai.

We stayed at Le Meridien Dubai Hotel for 3 nights after Christmas. Overal experience was good. The hotel is close to the airport but has a resort feel with many pools and green areas in the backyard. There are many restaurants also so no need to leave the hotel if you just want to relax.
We stayed in Royal Club room. The Royal Club Lounge was very good offering breakfast, afternoon tea (did not try) and evening canapés with drinks. We could use the lounge also in the evening even if travelling with a kid and that was highly appreciated.
There was one concern however. Carpets in the royal club rooms should be changed because the carpet in the room was worn out with stains. To be honest the carpet looked so dirty that I did not want to step on the carpet barefoot. I noticed that club rooms in the other building had been renovated and the carpets there looked much nicer. Royal club rooms are more expensive but look tired. Please pay attention to his. Many hotels in Europe have removed carpets and have wooden floor material instead. That is so much easier to keep clean.
We staye on half-board. Selection with half-board was limited eg. in the Italian restaurant. We really liked the Chinese restaurant and HB worked well there. Overal experience was however good.

An Airport Oasis. Three words that best describe this hotel experience. Airport Hotels are typically way stations of sterility and bland and in transit experience that is dreaded. Not so this hotel. It is so good and convenient that I almost cancelled my reservations at a resort beach hotel. How can that be? Here’s how. There are multiple restaurants of every cousins imaginable and the pathway to get there is through green lush gardens and reflection pools. The rooms in the Royal Club (I almost didn’t want to write this for fear of a stampede of people rushing to get in) are generously sized, updated and pleasantly contemporary, and so quiet as to forget the airport nearby.
This hotel by far is now the standard to which all other airport hotels should be compared to. Really that good. And the staff elevates that standard still further.

After 12 years, we returned to Le Méridien, and it did not disappoint. Although our stay began with a hiccup—our room wasn’t ready despite booking the day before—Maxine and the team went above and beyond to make things right. They set us up in a beautiful temporary room for the day and seamlessly transferred our luggage once our original room was ready. It’s a true mark of an exceptional hotel, and more importantly, incredible staff, when any issue is handled in a way that makes you feel valued and cared for.
From that moment on, everything at the hotel, from the staff to the amenities, has been nothing short of outstanding. It genuinely feels like a home away from home.
We stayed in a club lounge room and could rave about the delicious afternoon tea, the stunning breakfasts, and the superb happy hour with complimentary drinks for two hours. However, what stands out most is the staff, just as it did on our last visit. The service here is unmatched; in fact, I can confidently say I’ve never experienced better anywhere in the world.
One memorable example is Buddhika, the pool lifeguard, who went out of his way to treat us like friends. Knowing I prefer shade, he took it upon himself to prepare our favorite poolside spot each morning, complete with loungers, towels, and a parasol. One day, while I napped, he even adjusted the parasol every 30 minutes to keep me in the shade, as my wife noticed. That kind of thoughtfulness sums up our experience.
We’ve already booked our next stay. If you’re considering Le Méridien, don’t hesitate. We absolutely love it here. .

We stayed a little over 2 weeks in Le Royale Club with full board (BTW, great value for money), and it felt like a home away from home! All of the staff are SO thoughtful and caring, and go above and beyond to make guests happy.
The food is delicious and fresh, with plenty of variety throughout the week at tea time and happy hour both to keep you interested and looking forward to the next day.
Absolutely loved the energy of everyone throughout our stay and we are so grateful to each and every one of them: from the senior manager Maxime who checked us in at the main reception with lots of kind upgrades, to their manager Daynnlne who went all out to extend our stay at short notice when we decided to stay longer; to the security and door staff who greeted us with the biggest smiles whenever they saw us; and the service staff who made the rooms immaculate with plenty of supplies for us every single day 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
A special shout out to the lovely ladies who took special care of us everyday, 3 times a day: Bhavika, Sanjeeta, Pema and Nirbika - THANK YOU SO MUCH - you girls MADE this one of our best trips ever! 💖✨️
We look forward to our next stay here! Highly recommend!
