The hype
Guests are blown away by the room size and track views but frustrated by the isolation and weekend noise.
The Meydan Hotel
$150-250 / malam
Pesan ini jika You want a massive room with a balcony and front-row seats to horse racing, or you're here to party at Soho Garden without needing a taxi home.
Mengapa Orang Menyukainya
- Huge rooms (starting at 62sqm) that all have balconies overlooking the racecourse
- Rooftop infinity pool with skyline views that feels surprisingly private
- Direct access to Dubai's best nightlife (Soho Garden, White) right next door
Ringkasan Cepat: It's a luxurious island stranded in the desert—great if you love horses or clubbing, but a logistical headache if you want to see the rest of Dubai.
Ditinjau oleh @CathrinaMorales8180298: I stayed here for a business trip and was blown away by the balcony. Waking up and seeing the entire racecourse right outside my window made me feel like total royalty. The room is massive and that tub is a dream.

- You are attending the Dubai World Cup or love horse racing
- You plan to spend your nights at Soho Garden or White Dubai
- You want a massive room for a fraction of the price of a Downtown hotel

5 hal yang perlu Anda tahu sebelum pergi
💡The 'mosquito' situation on balconies is real due to the green track and standing water.
💡The hotel is shaped like a wave, meaning some balconies have better privacy than others.
💡You get a free 'drone show' view during World Cup rehearsals if you stay in late March.
💡The walk from the lobby to some rooms can be incredibly long due to the building's linear shape.
💡Taxi drivers sometimes get confused between the 'Hotel' entrance and the 'Grandstand' entrance—be specific.
