The Good Stuff
Comfortable rooms
Several guests found the rooms comfortable, with some describing them as spacious and the beds as comfortable.
Helpful housekeeping
Housekeeping received praise for responding to family requests and keeping rooms clean during longer stays.
Breakfast omelettes
The breakfast omelettes were repeatedly singled out, including requests prepared to suit individual dietary needs.
Tasty food
One five-night stay described the restaurant food as neat and tasty, while another praised its variety.
Budget value
Some guests consider the hotel fair value, particularly when room space and location matter more than polish.
Tips for a Better Visit
Avoid clubs. Ask for a room away from the nightclub and rooftop bar; guests report music continuing until about 4 a.m.
Allow check-in time. Build in extra time at arrival, especially at night or on busy weekends, as several guests waited 30–60 minutes.
Confirm smoking status. If you book non-smoking, verify the room on arrival because guests have reported cigarette smells despite the room designation.
Check visitor fees. Ask about visitor charges before inviting anyone up; one repeat guest was charged AED 100 for a visiting cousin.
Clarify deposits. Confirm the security-deposit process and amount before arrival, as a guest reported a 200 AED deposit that was not clearly communicated.
Plan pool time. The pool was reported as open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.; check the hours if you expect an evening swim.

The Bottom Line
Howard Johnson Plaza by Wyndham Dubai Deira is a practical Deira base for travellers who value transport links and a budget-friendly room. Al Rigga metro is about five minutes away, with shops, cafés, restaurants and lively street food nearby. Some guests found the rooms spacious or comfortable, and housekeeping was praised for handling requests during longer stays.
Breakfast is one of the more specific bright spots. Reviews mention a buffet, tasty restaurant food and made-to-order omelettes, including dishes adjusted for dietary requests. The property also has a rooftop pool, hot tub, gym, pub and shisha lounge, giving you facilities to use without leaving the hotel.
The main caveat is noise. , with vibrations reaching upper floors. Ask for a room away from those venues, and avoid assuming a non-smoking room will be entirely free of cigarette odour.
Reception service is inconsistent too: some guests describe warm, efficient help, while others waited up to an hour or found staff unhelpful. Families should confirm bedding and child amenities in advance. Also check the AED 200 deposit, AED 100 visitor fee and Wi-Fi device limit before booking.
