On-site nightclubs are noisy
The Country Club Hotel is a four-pearl property with super low rates near Dubai's waterfront, but it's not close to many tourist attractions or a metro station. While all 102 rooms here are spacious, the suites are particularly impressive and feature separate living areas and whirlpool tubs in the bathrooms. Amenities include four restaurants (three of which double as nightclubs), a bar, and a 24-hour cafe. For recreational facilities, there's a small outdoor pool, a well-equipped fitness center, and a spa with a sauna, a steam room, and a whirlpool. Wi-Fi and on-site parking are free, but breakfast costs extra. This is not a quiet place to stay -- many guests complain of noise from the many nightclubs. Travelers looking for a more conveniently located hotel may want to consider Hilton Dubai The Walk instead.

Scene
Dated-looking hotel with wood panels
The Country Club Hotel is located next to a large parking lot and set in a four-story low-rise building that doesn't impress. Interiors have a dated look, with lots of wood paneling on the walls and on the reception counter in the dark lobby. A few sofas and armchairs upholstered in navy blue and gray provide seating. This is a popular hotel that attracts business as well as leisure travelers, including families, but it can get noisy due to the multiple on-site party venues.
Location
Located near the waterfront in the Bur Dubai district
The Country Club Hotel is located in the city's Bur Dubai district, behind the New Gold Souk. The waterfront is a quick walk away, and there are few other tourist attractions located close by. The metro is not accessible from here, so guests need to get around by car or taxi.- Nine-minute drive to Dubai Museum
