I stayed at the versailles for 6 days in the middle of April in 2006. Having arrived from heathrow at 6am- I was tired to say the least, but the staff at the hotel were more than helpful offering free drinks and snacks upon my arrival. I wasn't supposed to be cheking into my room until 2pm, but the front desk moved heaven and earth so I was in my room by 9am!!!! So that gave extra time to explore the surroundings, pizza hut and burger king nearby, what more could I have asked for!!! In the evenings the hotel arranged courtesy buses to and from the various malls around Dubai (I would advise taking alot of cash/ credit cards as it is very hard to resist walking past luis vuitton/ prada and not buying something just to be given a prada shopping bag!!!) I also took advantage of the FREE shuttle buses to Jumeriah beach- although having to pay to go on the beach isn't something I am used to. Also recommended is a trip to Wild Wadi water park, right under the shadow of the Burj Al Arab (Robbie williams was staying there whilst I was there as he had a concert in Dubai that week) The hotel itself was very clean and to top things off, it was one of the few hotels that had its own pool (very handy when it's 45 degrees!!)my room was very modern and clean, the bathroom looked like it had just been redecorated too. And 6 nights for only £300 very good value for money. I would recommend this hotel to young toursists as it offers bus services to and from the highlights that Dubai has to offer. I would easily go back there gievn the chance and hope to someday. The photos are taken from the Versailles Hotel's website

I have recently returned from a 5 night stay in Dubai with 4 of my female friends. The city is lovely however our hotel left me less impressed. At first impressions its okay, but wait untill you look what is in your bed sheets....lets just say some one extremely hairy slept in my bed before. Our bathroom had parts of the celing missing and the TV and fridge was sometimish. The breakfast didn't have a lot of variaty however it was tasty. On the plus side some of the staff were friendly and helpful.
However i wouldn't stay here again especially if you are with girls, as alot of Arab business men stay here, and they are not used to women who are not fully covered....and so they can seem like perverts.

I would give this hotel 10/10 for a 3* hotel. Its in a great location, ideal for shopping and eating, the staff are very welcoming and they tell you the services on offer like the free trips they do everyday to the beach and the shopping malls without any extra cost. They even offer a complimentary shuttle service to the airport when you check out which was very handy. All the staff were pleasant and only to happy to help, the room was very clean and spacious and the bathroom was well equipt and clean. There was a mini bar in the room, but no tea and coffee making facilites, there was a pool on the roof which was very clean and nice. I would definately stay here again and there was a wide choice in the breakfast, inwhich you could eat as much as you like as it was a buffet breakfast!!!! i stayed with my friend and we are in out 20's but there were families and older couples as well as young people too so it catered for a wide variety.

We stayed here for 6 nights in Feb 2006. We paid only £55/night through an online Sharjah-based travel agent. The staff were friendly and attentive at least when we interacted with them. They even allowed us to check in early at 5am without any fuss or extra charge. The room was clean and we were impressed with the clean and modern bathroom at this price. There was however a noisy nightclub on the 1st floor (typical of many hotels in this area) which was open until 3am. We were able to fall sleep before this but we were on the 4th floor and could still hear some small but bearable low pitch boom. We would definitely stay here again for the same price of £55/night. It is located very near Al Rigga Road which is an excellent location with many places to eat: McDonalds, Burger King, Pizza Hut, KFC, Dunkin Donuts, Baskin Robbins and HagenDasz cafe- there are also many Middle Eastern restaurants- Automatic, Beirut etc. and is where we always try to be near. There are other hotels but even if you don't stay at this hotel we would definitely avoid the K-Porte Inn.
