excellent 4 star hotel, excellent service and exellent food at both the coffee bar aswell as the restaurant (if not alittle expensive). only downsize was no internet access which was alittle disappointing. would befo recommend and go back again!!!.

Upsides: friendly staff, good location in one of the few bits of Dubai to retain any character, reasonable value for money, clean and comfortable.

Downsides: no convenient power point for laptop use in room (a significant omission in a place that's likely to have a lot of business guests), slightly odd room layout with a lot of space wasted on a pointless entrance area, staff sometimes too busy to provide immediate service, on-site Indian restaurant a little disappointing. (Try the one in the nearby Taj Palace hotel instead - absolutely superb.)

i arrived in Dubai for an interview and was booked into the Flora. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food was allright, if somewhat expensive. It was a very clean Hotel and the room was large and well laid out. All in all, I would stay there again.
