This hotel is a joke. There are at least 3 'clubs' that are basically strip-clubs without full nudity. The level of cleanliness was not just bad but it was horrendous.

Its one of the finest hotel for the best value for your money. Location is quite calm and an easy access to all the facilities. Staff is very cooperative and helpful. Its a good hotel for the visitors who want to move around the Dubai city because transportation and all the major attractions are nearby

I stayed with my group of 32 pax and 13 rooms. They have given almost all rooms at 1130. Reception staff was good with smiling face. House keeping staff was OK.

good small budget hotel , not so expensive,ideal for families a bit far from the shopping areas cant depend restaurant for lunch and dinner, breakfast not so elobrate and most importantly front office guys are most unfriendly but no tea kettle in the rooms

Small rooms with an expensive restaurant. We stayed there for 4 nights just because our tour Operator Yatra.com arranged our stay in this one. The earlier reviews of this hotel were good but reality is totally different.
