Al Diar Mina Hotel
Don't be put off by the decidedly shabby exterior and lobby of this central hotel - the rooms are well-furnished, spacious and comfortable and have kitchen facilities.

Al Sharq Hotel
This small hotel is in the centre of town, close to the arts and heritage precincts, but while it's clean, comfortable and the management are friendly, it's overpriced for what's on offer. It should be a last resort option.

Fortune Plaza Hotel
Al Qasr, Madinat Jumeirah
If cookie-cutter hotels don’t do it for you, this is your kind of place. Sister to Mina A’ Salam, the 292-room Al-Qasr was styled after an Arabian summer palace.
Xva Hotel
This chic boutique hotel occupies a century-old villa, complete with wind towers, in the heart of the historic Bastakia Quarter.
Villa 47
A superb find if you don’t need buckets of privacy, this B&B is just two rooms in a bougainvillea-draped private home on a quiet street, yet close to the airport.
Marbella Resort
Looking like a village transplanted from southern Spain, this oldie but goodie has 50 private villas set in lush tropical gardens, making it perfect for families.
Sandy Beach Hotel & Resort
At this expat favourite near the Badiyah Mosque, lodging ranges from basic ocean-view rooms to small cabins with private barbecues and a new wing with sparkling, modern apartments with balconies.
Residence Deira By Le Meridien
If you’re not a member of the FWS (Fat Wallet Society) but are still in need of good-sized, immaculate rooms (with full kitchens!) and attentive service, this property should hit the mark.
Inter Continental Al Ain Resort
Plunged within lush gardens, the InterConti is a winning combination of plus-sized rooms outfitted with microwaves and refrigerators, interesting restaurants, and facilities such as a landscaped pool with rock formations and a waterfall.
Palace – The Old Town
City explorers with a romantic streak will be utterly enchanted by this luxe contender in the shadow of the Burj Khalifa. A successful blend of Old World class and Arabic aesthetics, the Palace appeals to those with refined tastes.
Al Nakheel Hotel
Shabby, sleazy and noisy, this hotel should only be seen as a last resort. Single women staying here alone (not recommended) should expect that they might probably be mistaken for prostitutes.
Desert Palm
Feel the stresses nibbling at your psyche evaporate the moment you step inside this luxe boutique retreat a short drive south of town and set on a private polo estate.
Le Meridien Al Aqah Beach Resort
Just north of the Sandy Beach Hotel, this upmarket resort does everything to put you in the mood for a beach vacation. The balconied rooms give you plenty of elbow space and overlook the lush gardens, private beach and ocean.
Hotel Jal Fujairah Resort & Spa
Zen minimalism meets Arabian hospitality at this sprawling Japanese-owned outpost where you can open up the balcony door of your oversized room to let in the ocean breezes.
Najd Hotel Apartments
One of the nicer of the hotel apartments mushrooming around the Mall of the Emirates, Najd is a welcoming host.
Mina A’Salam, Madinat Jumeirah
Meaning ‘harbour of peace’, the Mina A’ Salam has few false notes.
Jumeirah Garden Guesthouse
The convivial British expat owners have poured their hearts and cash into turning this stately garden villa into an oasis of charm.
Dubai International Hotel
Dubai International Hotel has two locations – one on the Arrivals level in Terminal 1 and the other in Terminal 3, levels 5 and 6, above Dubai Duty Free. Upon request, rooms are available at hourly rates.
Fujairah Beach Hotel
Situated on the coast but with no access to the beach (although there's an Olympic-sized swimming pool), this hotel-motel sees the kind of guests checking in who don't have luggage.
Mercure Grand Hotel
Near the top of Jebel Hafeet is the Mercure Grand Hotel, where the views are great but the food is lousy.
Palm Trump International Hotel
Publicity-magnet and developer Donald Trump is a natural for Dubai. So is his gold tulip-shaped hotel on the Palm Jumeirah, which actually looks more like several upended cockroaches covered in gold leaf.
Al Diar Gulf Hotel & Resort
On the outskirts of the city, close to the international airport, the Gulf's easy-going beachside ambience attracts a dedicated band of returning guests.
Fusion Hotel
This well-priced B&B, tucked away in a dreamy garden in residential Jumeirah, is a perfect hideaway for anyone tired of big, anonymous hotels.
Lords Hotel
The pool gets all-day sun at this lacklustre Deira hotel, which is otherwise only notable for its clean rooms, good-size bathrooms and convenient location for souq shopping raids.
La Maison D’Hôtes
At last Dubai has a real boutique hotel, where you can live like a rich local at budget prices.
