Top hotels in Downtown Dubai
Radisson Blu Hotel Dubai Waterfront
Rooms are big with good space, but it is little outdated. Nice breakfast. Good selection for kids and a kids corner at breakfast which is the best part of the hotel. The kids club has no staff, its just a room with few toys. The pool is too basic and small.
