Coral Oriental Dubai - Dubai, United Arab Emirates 

We didn't have a great experience at this hotel. It was noisy and the hotel staff were indifferent. We complained about some guests who were making noise in the early hours of the morning but staff didn't appear to care. The location is not great - next to busy roads. It was hard to get a taxi. We wouldn't recommend this hotel to anyone.

It took an hour for the shuttle bus to pick me up from the airport, and when i finally arrived however i ordered some food which was a kebab mix. it looked great until my younger son ate it when we realised that there was a fish kebab in the mix as he is allergic to fish. Tell me, how many fish kebabs to you get in a mixed grill. My son had a reaction which could of killed him and we asked for the ambulance service, due to the location of the hotel it took half an hour for the ambulance to come. Be aware that hospitals in Dubai are hopeless and the docters don't have a clue what to do in a life and death situation. Thank God he survived as I had never saw him in this state ever. After the long night, my family and I went to have breakfast, the staff are really nice however the food was not edible and they didn't have many options of food. They gave the same breakfast everyday and i stayed their for a fortnight. Then you get the taxi problem. No taxi goes past the hotel so you have to get the concierge to order one for you. The taxi service they get charges nearly double than the other public taxis. When you mention that you want to go to the Coral oriental hotel they do not have a clue where that is and I have resulted to giving directions to the hotel 12 times! To stop the taxi problem i decided to rent a car from the hotel desk office. The man at the desk seemed trustworthy and probably wouldn't cause any more problems. I asked him if the cars were all insured and he said yes. After three days in driving in the dangrous roads of Dheirah i had been crashed. let me warn you that accidents occur all the time in Dubai and is probaly tone of the worst places to drive. When i told the man at the desk that i had crashed he told me that the car actually was not insured. I had to pay a hefty bill, i couldn't do anything about it but the manager of the tourist operater in the hotel said that the man at the desk will be paying a quarter of the fine. That sounds better but they still charged me a hefty bill. This was the worst Trip i have ever had and i travelled all over the Gulf and Dubai five times and i have always enjoyed it but this hotel one of the worst hotel in the world
