Stayed @ Golden Tulip al Barsha 8 nights with the occasion of Skiboard World Cup 2008 that was hosted by Ski-Dubai. Our group has 34 people from 12 countries. Everyone, no exception, was pleased with the hotel and service. - Good, confortable and clean rooms. - Service personnel are polite and helpfull - Buffet Breakfast at the Brasserie was good, allways fresh, rich and tastefull. One remarque about the service - 2 days we had to have breakfast at 4:30am. The Brasserie personnel was very helpfull, prepared and served the breakfast 2 hours earlier than regulare openning time. Thanks again! In rooms, all linen and towels were changed daily, immaculate white sheets. The hotel is kept very clean, 24 hours service personnel keep it spotless. Hotel transportation service was also good. Going to Ski-Dubai and back, several times a day, from and to airport, the service was tops. For some strange reason on some websites the Golden Tulip Al Barsha is rated 3 stars, this is not true. The hotel is Full 4 stars, no doubt. Just one warrning note - the mini-bar refrigerator and the goodies basket (chocolates, snacks, etc) are not free, they'll charge you on checkout. The internet cable is also not free, check with reception before using it. Bottom line -- A+++

I was recently in Dubai for the 08 Boat Show. In relation to the pricey hotels near the show the Tulip was a good option. It was over all a good stay and the quality of the rooms, service and food was over all very pleasant. But somehow on the internet they forgot to mention that the Tulip is the only finished building on the block. In other words all the other buildings are still under construction. There isn't even tarmac to the hotel. So as you can imagine...NOISYYY not to mention Dusty. But the location is great, beside the Emirates mall and Near the Burl al Arab and beaches...so Over all OK.

The hotel is indeed in a construction area with a "semi-paved" access road. As I arrived late, I was confused when the taxi driver began driving across dirt lots--but all ended well. The room was comfortable, the breakfast quite good and the restaurant had some tasty options. The Mall of the Emirates and it's weird ski slope was nearby and the location was good for some things but a long way from "downtown" ie the Creek. It was a perfectly fine hotel and once they pave the roads and finish the Metro, it will be great.

This hotel is nice but does have a few problems.It is in the middle of a construction zone however that said its not too noisy from the construction , just a lot of sand and dust around. It is a short walk to the Mall of The Emirates which is great. The nightclub is another story though, after complaining twice and moving rooms twice I was upgraded to a suite on the 6th floor and could still hear the base from the nightclub. I spoke with the manager the next day who was very apologetic and moved me to another hotel but not the same standard but at least i got some sleep.So be warned if you dont mind hearing the nightclub then this is a nice hotel and oh the breakfast ten mins after opening was stone cold all items !!

Good business hotel; small but decent restaurant for dinner/breakfast; nice sports bar and even a night club in the hotel. However I slightly heard the base from the night club up to my room on the fourth level. Good internet access; to plug in my laptop I had to move the desk, which was a bit disappointing. Good location, on Sheikh Zaed Road close to Mall of the Emirates. However the area around the hotel is fully under construcation and only dirt tracks lead to the hotel.
