Le Meridien Fairway

This hotel was a pleasant surprise. We were looking for a quiet room with blackout curtains so we could had a quality sleeping experience. We got that and more. Not only were the rooms super quiet and dark but also very spacious and cozy with a very comfy bed. The hotel is recently renovated so everything looks brand new. It is a smaller hotel which gives a good ambience and the staff is super friendly and help you with everything. Special thanks to Salman (taking care of our room) and the pool guy. They took care of the cleanliness of our room and the pool. Everything was spic and span, they really have an eye for detail. But also the staff in the lobby is super friendly and welcome you everyday with a smile. Unfortunately the hot tub was gone but the extra bonus is that you can use the one in the other Meridien hotel close by and also make use of the pool area there. Thank you all for this amazing stay. We would love to come back one time!

Customer service desk staff were excellent. Special credit to Mr Raman for going the extra mile to explain and assist on all matters.

We stayed for nearly a week, and I must say that the service was simply par excellence! A special mention goes to Vasanthi, whose invaluable assistance in guiding us on how to get around Dubai truly enhanced our experience. Despite our early arrival, Vasanthi helped us with our rooms as we had a child with us. Her thoughtful support was much appreciated. The breakfast offerings were delightful, featuring a diverse and appealing selection of food right from idlys and parathas to stirfry noodles and shiu mai. The housekeeping team also deserves praise for their prompt responses to our requests. Overall, our stay at Le Méridien Fairway Hotel was nothing short of amazing, and we are grateful for the warm hospitality provided. We will definitely return.

Works perfectly for stopovers. Quiet, close to airport, nice staff, excellent rooms and beds. They provide plenty of free safe drinking water. To get there there, don't bother with the dodgy Dubai airport taxi service: just catch the metro train from the Airport direct to the nearby GGICO metro station, walk out on the South side, turn right and walk (West) to 2nd street (200 metres), turn left (South) into 2nd Street, and in 200 metres you come to the unmarked hotel rear entrance laneway. Just 7 minutes walk, and we`re in our 70s. This advice doesn't apply however if you`re burdened with lots of baggage! Dubai is hot! We did this on our second visit. Worked perfectly, and thereafter for getting around the Dubai sights. On our first visit we took the taxi to Le Meridian. The driver took us on a world tour, which I followed on Google GPS map. Hilarious! When challenged he said, to justify himself, the Airport charged an exorbitant amount to operate out of the Terminal and he has to run up the extra kilometres to pay his operating costs. That could well be true, everything you can buy at Dubai Airport is exorbitant, but, be warned.

The room was comfortable without being flashy -- I think the hotel is older than its larger sister which has the conference centre but, if you want more dining and entertainment options, there is a free shuttle to that other hotel. Anyway, the Fairway's neighbourhood is interesting and it's even in walking distance of the City Mall. I'm particularly glad I took the breakfast option as it was excellent and reasonably priced by Dubai standards. Most importantly, the staff at reception were simply superb: friendly, helpful and cheerful.
