Upon arrival,check in was fast,and seamless.
We were given the option to upgrade to Executive floor for approx an additional USD$34 a night.This included free wireless in the rooms,cocktail hour(only good if you don't get stuck in a mall with a one hour queue for a taxi!!),the option to have breakfast and cocktails in the business lounge.
The hotel provide a taxi at a cost,and our driver was fantastic...he even played JT on request.
The location however wasn't that fantasic,in regards to shopping close by.There is a "mall" across the road,but mainly with local style shops.It is however very handy to the airport,so if you have a quick stopover this is perfect.

We have just arrived back in Australia after a 6 week Europe trip.
I would have to put Traders at the top of my list for accommodation. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff they were all polite and couldn't do enough for us. Food was great!
Accommodation was first class! and reasonably priced and the rooms were spotless! WELL DONE ! I have no problems recommending the Traders to anyone you won't be dissapointed
It made our short stay in Dubai very memorable. We'll be back.

We were a travelling party of 26 (5 families with children on a cricket trip to Dubai and Malta) and we needed a hotel in Dubai for 4 nights that wasn't too expensive but of good quality. Having read the TripAdvisor reviews, we decided on the Traders. It exceeded our expections.

Right from check-in to check out, our stay at the Traders was outstanding. The service was amazing. On our day of departure, the staff opened the restaurant at 5.00am for a lite breakfast before we flew out. And talking of breakfast, our party all agreed their breakfast buffet was amongst the best any of us had had anywhere in the world.

If you are looking for a good hotel, at a good price with outstanding service, and rooms that will sleep more than 3-4 people, Traders is the right hotel. And don't be put off by people saying it is not in a good location. Malls and supermarkets are very close by, and being relatively close to the airport is a comfort in a city that can experience terrible traffic congestion!!

Trader's Hotel Dubai is a good buy for Dubai. The rooms are beautiful, well kept and the staff is overall pretty friendly. For another $20 or so dollars, you can upgrade to the business executive floor. This is well worth it as it includes a buffet breakfast, free coffe and tea at anytime, access to the health club and many other perks. These are some of the pluses.

The negatives are: the inability of the staff to get a taxi whenever you want. Taxis are QUITE difficult to come by in Dubai so it is not entirely their fault. However, it seems for a four to five star hotel, they should have a taxi ready for you whenever you want. Also, at times, the staff is a bit hard to understand. Another downside is the location which is far away from the action.

Overall, I think anyone staying at Traders will be satisfied with their stay.
