It's a nice quiet spacious hotel with a comfortable bed, only pillows are a little soft for me. Toothbrush is upon request. Breakfast, lunch & dinner are very good with a variety of dishes. Aircon & wifi connection are great. The powerpoints are universal, no need to use adapter. There are connecting rooms, one room with 2 single beds is connected to a room with 1 king bed. There is a huge DFC mall, about 5 min walk from the hotel & is connected by a linkway bridge. There are hypermarkets like Carrefour & Lulu, IKEA, food court, restaurants & other shops. Very easy to get food & shop. Overall, it was an enjoyable stay at the hotel.

Linked to carrefour, IKEA, and festival city mall. Great location. Clean rooms and nice little bar at the top. Will definitely recommend if you are here in Dubai, especially with family. Many indoor playgrounds in the festival city mall.

My 4-night stay at Holiday Inn & Suites Dubai Festival City was superb although location wise it's quite far away from the convenience of metro. The cleanliness of the rooms and facilities exceeded expectations, ensuring a comfortable stay throughout. Buffet breakfast was a stand-out with plenty of choices and delicious choices. The service was impeccable, with staff going above and beyond to accommodate requests promptly and courteously. Additionally, the hotel's adjacency to the mall provided convenience for dining and shopping options, adding to the overall experience. I highly recommend Holiday Inn & Suites Dubai Festival City for travelers seeking a blend of luxury, convenience, and excellent service.

Exceptional customer service provided by Erika and the manager Mohamad/Mostafa(sorry barely remembers name). They were always willing to go the extra mile to ensure that our needs were met, and they did so with a genuine smile and a positive attitude.
Overall, I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable stay near the airport and also connected to the mall. The hotel's excellent customer service, beautiful view, delicious breakfast, clean rooms and comfy beds. You won’t be disappointed.
