We stayed in the St George for 3 nights. As we had a 'jam packed' itinerary we did not want to pay for a expensive hotel, as we would really only be sleeping there. However as the hotel is rated as a 3 star, we thought we would still be staying in a fairly decent hotel. We looked at trip advisor before we travelled to Dubai and on the advice of other people we requested a room near the ground floor because of a night club on the top floor.
Despite being located on the second floor we could still hear the music. It was also very apparent that 'ladies of the night' frequented the nightclub upstairs. This personally did not bother us as the girls did not approach us, and were friendly enough when we were in the same lift, but it is blatent and understandably may offend some people.
Although a non smoking hotel, the entire hotel and our room smelt of stale tobacco. We moved onto Bangkok after Dubai and the smell still hung to our clothes. We believed there was also a problem with the air conditioning, it sounded as though it was leaking and the room felt damp.
The room was very big, the bed linen was clean and towels were replaced daily, but despite claims of a refurbishement, our room (and the hotel in general) felt dirty and dated.
For the price thar we paid for the hotel we were not expecting a luxurious room, however
we did expect a basic clean room.
Breakfast was included in the price of room, but we only bothered with it one day. There was not much choice, the breakfast cereal tasted stale and the coissants too.
St George is loacted within walking distance of the Souks, and our room did have an excellent view of the creek. There are water taxis that can take you to the otherside of the creek to Bur Dubai which seemed to sell clothing etc a lot cheaper than the souks.
St George is located in Deira, we personally preferred Jumeriah which is the more modern and deveoped part of Dubai. We are aware that hotels are no doubt more expensive in this part of Dubai, but my husband and I wished we had paid a bit extra for a better standard of hotel.
