I arrived to this hotel with 10 other people (family/extended family) all aged 5-37. I didnt have much to do with the hotel staff and my mum paid for me to stay. She hated the hotel so much, she didnt like the staff which were mostly immigrants from India and the cleaners were mostly from the Philipines (they were lovely).... more

the best part about the hotel is the location more

Stayed this week for a stopover between India and the UK- arrived at 0100 to be greeted by loud thumping music from the nightclub on the ground floor which was still shaking the walls of the bedroom and bed on the 6th floor at 0300. There were clearly transactions taking place in the lobby with rooms being hired out for... more

Hotel could not find my reservation when i got there, my Partner was already in the room but they could not locate any info! Rooms quite small, no slippers or bathrobes available as they say, around 15 min walk from Meena Bazaar. Hotel has three clubs/ bar/ pub there is a fee to go in the club, alcohol far too... more

After reading reviews we asked for a room far away from the loud noise from the night club. When arriving 4 am we got the room 304, practically above the club. Got a new room the next day, on the 6th floor, still loud noise and had to visit the pharmacy for earplugs. They are not very nice as you... more

The hotel location in Bur Dubai was ok, handy for the bus station (cheaper to get around, only 2 Dirhams one way approx 32p to get to Jumeira Beach & the Burj Al Arab hotel). The location... more

We stayed at the Highland for 4 nights in June and loved every moment of it. It is located in Bur Dubai on the fringe of the old (spice and gold souks) and new (wild wadi etc) dubai! Excellent value for anyone travelling on a budget! Pros: - Nice budget central hotel, good location between old dubai and new dubai... more

Booking through expedia was a complete nightmare with them leaving off return transfers! Resulted in having to make numerous costly calls to resolve this - very stressful considering is was only a 3 night trip!! We were a party of 2 yet the filipino receptionist was adamant we had booked 2 rooms for 4 people even after showing our booking... more

I recommed the Highland. I would say the good points outweight the bad ones. Lets start with the good things. The rooms are very nice, good design; big and clean. The bathroom is also clean. The location is safe and its not far from the creek. And the price; at 150 US Dollars per night for a double; you won't... more
