Which of the DXB hotels arent complexes?
Looking for a "city" hotel, but they also seem to be huge complexes with massive grounds and pools. I just want a city hotel (in a tower for views) and not have to take days walking round the thing. For example Grand Hyatt is a City hotel but is HUGE! A decent business only hotel is what I'd prefer.
I liked the look of Emirates Towers, but there's 3 of us and for some reason they dont have any option for 3 guests (how hard is it to give a roll-away bed?!).
I looked at some others put they got trashed on Tripadvisor. Do you lot find tripadvisor a true reflection?

I did see that one. Looks really nice. Quite expensive though, especially as they only seem to offer the Horizon rooms for 3 people, and they're $700US per night. I thought Horizon Deluxe rooms were same as normal Deluxe rooms, just higher up and with Club access.

I've stayed at the Moevenpick in Bur Dubai, and it is very manageable indeed, and a solid upscale hotel all round.
It's not a tower, tho, so it may not fit your bill on the views side. Mind you, I was on the 2nd floor or something like that, so not sure how the view from (near) the top is.

I second the Shangri La. It's a very nice place with a compact lobby. It can be a little pricey, but it's a better deal than most places in town.
