“Great place to stay for the price”

It was just fine. I got everything I needed. The staff where helpful and friendly. There is good security.

“Nice Stay”

I only stayed overnight while waiting for another flight. Taxi drivers from the hotel were not familiar with it. Staff was friendly and check in was smooth. Nice bar at the location. Hotel could use a little general maintenance, but was not bad at all for the price. Enjoyed my stay. Shuttle service to the airport was a nice bonus as well.

“Best hotel with reasonable price”

Just the sarounding area is not built yet a bit of a desert area but otherwise isa nice hotel with a reasonable rate.

“Not as advertised...”

I have stayed many times in Dubai and this is the worst hotel yet. The advertised amenities are non-existent. To start, there is NO free internet, wireless or wired. The shuttle is a joke. I tried to contact the hotel via email, my only means of communication at the time, for a solid week and never had a response. I ended up paying $20 USD for a taxi. I had also inquired about the Spa services which I never received. I arrived and the Spa was closed for renovation. BUT, there was a Dreamworks Massage next door which was great. There is not much around the Hotel but the massage and the NEW Gold Souk. I must say the Sports Bar at the hotel had good drinks at least. The room looked like it was from the 60's with the bright orange decor. When I arrived, my room was 84 celsius and stayed that way. There was also water all over the bathroom floor from some kind of leak. I called the front desk 2x and they never showed up before I left. The service is substandard for Dubai. Lastly, the front desk clerk tried to keep my passport which I immediately called her out and she gave it right back. Never will I stay here again!!!

“Good but could improve WIFI”

Good cheapish hotel. Lot of noise from nightclub on first floor that could be heard in my room on third floor. Big issue with internet access / WIFI - I paid for a 24 hour pass and got wired access in my room but the following morning (well within 24 hour limit) I could not use WIFI in lobby. You pay for 24 access but if you use wired you cannot access WIFI and visa versa ! Not acceptable !

“Star Rating”

The Hotel needs updating, therefor the rating is not 3 star but a 2 star.

“Rio Hotel review”

This hotel in the the middle of a building site. The noise is from 6.30am till 6.30pm. The access roads are dangerous especially in the dark. You cannot use swimming pool . Access always locked. Reception staff were very nice and porters too. Breakfast expensive and awful. No coffee or tea making facilities in room although they advertise this facility. Our room carpet was filthy. I am disappointed with expedia that they do not check the accuracy of the hotel description and facilities. I would not use them for hotel accommodation again.

“My last time stay at this hotel”

I reserved the two rooms with double ocupancy but the hotel charged me extra 100 AED for our guest for each rooms. They did not honor thier policy and expedia's booking policy.

“Couldnt wait to leave.”

The information given on the Expedia site is not accurate. They DO NOT have wireless OR wired internet in the room complimentary... and all they can do is offer a wired connection for a price (forget your tablets at home). They gave me the wrong room when I got there... they had an insect infestation in the BATHROOM.. the picture of the hotel is deceiving as its computer generated and there is no grass or nice looking side to the hotel, there is construction going on still... The desk chair was broken and didnt work properly (nor was it replaced)... there are clubs inside this place (indian / pakistani clubs) which tend to bring in prostitutes and a low class crowds at night... The Expedia site also said that the hotel transport and local was complimentary according the the hotel -NOT TRUE- ... Other then the horrific experience the staff and manager of the hotel were wonderful people but could only do so much... So i wouldn't recommend this place to anyone...
