A great place to stay - clean and spacious. A perfect location with supermarkets, malls and Metro nearby. A great place to get your first bearings of Dubai from. Also walking distance to the souks and the Creek.

I picked the Desert Rose Hotel Apartments because I waited too long to make reservations at the place I wanted to stay, and this place was cheap. For what I got, it should have been much cheaper.

In general? The quality is average. However, location is very good. Within walking distance from the main centre of Dubai, Meena Bazar and Al Fahidi Street.

I find it hard to believe that my fellow travelers had such bad experience with the staff. We have been using desert rose for the last 3 years. May be we are getting well treated because most of the staff know us. However we have never had a bad experience with the staff. Even though some times the reception staff... More

Just had a horrible, terrible and very upsetting experience about 7 hrs agoin this hotel. Our director with his family flew miles and miles to Dubai and was supposed to stay for 2 weeks -already fully paid and we came for a visit. We had only taken about a few steps inside the hotel when were badly interrupted and interrogated... More
