About the hotel
Avani Deira Dubai Hotel sits at the corner of Abu Baker Al Siddique and Salahuddin streets in Deira, the old part of Dubai. It has 215 rooms and suites and belongs to the Avani brand of Minor Hotels group. It's a simple, convenient city hotel, suited to anyone wanting a base close to the airport and the metro.
The hotel's big advantage is transport. Abu Baker Al Siddique metro station is a few minutes' walk from the hotel, DXB Airport is 10–15 minutes' drive away, and there's a free shuttle to malls and attractions. The nearest malls, Reef Mall and Al Ghurair, are 10–15 minutes' walk away, and Burj Khalifa is about a quarter-hour drive.

All rooms and suites accommodate up to 3 adults, and all have a city view, work desk, and tea and coffee corner. The standard room, Avani Room, is 35 sqm, and the Superior is larger at 42 sqm. Guests wanting club lounge access should choose the Executive Room or one of the suites: the Junior Suite at 64 sqm with a balcony, or the Executive Suite at 75 sqm with a living room and bathtub.
The Executive Suite, according to the hotel's website, also includes breakfast and airport transfer. That makes it a convenient option for anyone landing or departing at an inconvenient hour who wants everything arranged in advance. Three adults wanting more space will do well in the Superior, which is 7 sqm larger than the standard room.
On floor 6 there's a rooftop pool and the AvaniFit gym, alongside a sauna and steam room. The gym is open daily 6:00–21:00. There's no beach, and according to the hotel's website there's no spa or kids' club. For business travelers there are three meeting rooms with daylight, suited to meetings, workshops, and small conferences.
There are two dining options. Jigsaw is the all-day restaurant, with Arabic and international cuisine, open from 6:30am to 23:00. La Terrace is a bar with light food and outdoor seating, open from 18:00 to midnight, with a large screen for sports broadcasts. Guests who prefer to stay in their room can order room service.
The downside: it's a city hotel with no beach, a limited restaurant selection, and it's far from the sea and the marina. Anyone coming for a beach holiday or looking for activities for kids should choose a different hotel. Anyone needing a convenient hotel near the metro and airport, for a connecting flight or a few days in the city, will find what they need here.
