Rough Guide "One of the flagship properties of the vast Downtown Dubai development, this opulent, Arabian-themed “city-resort” offers a surreal contrast to the nearby Burj Khalifa."
Star Service "As an integral part of the Downtown Burj Dubai development, this hotel serves as the home base for a mix of leisure and business guests who bask in the shadows of Burj Khalifa." Full review

Fodor's "If you are looking for a clean budget room backed by an international hotel chain, this property is a great choice."
Insight Guides "This simple but comfortable four-star is perhaps the best-value hotel in the city, although rooms can get booked up quickly if there is a big event on at the Dubai International Exhibition Centre next door."
DK Eyewitness "One of Dubai’s best bargains, the Ibis offers small, clean and stylish rooms."
Time Out "The ever-popular Ibis is a fuss-free affair; there’s no pool and facilities are minimal, but the hotel has invested its time and energy into the fundamentals." Full review
