The hotel is located in the Bur Dubai area which is the old part of the city close to the Dubai Creek.
The area is overcrowded and very noisey and also known as the red light area
Directly opposite the hotel is a bus station and petrol station and also conveniently located is the carrefour supermarket. Taxi's are very easy to get, just stick your arm out and they'll be there. Not many taxi drivers knew where the hotel was so take a business card from the reception just in case.
The hotel rooms were cleaned daily, however the hotel has a weired 'currey' kind of smell.
The hotel staff were very friendly, however the lobby area was full of local people in the evening often visiting the bar where they had live entertainment till late night daily.
The hotel staff will help you with excursions and arrange for pick ups to and from. Taxi's are very cheap. The main attractions are far away from the hotel so you'll have to heavily rely on taxis!
We were glad when we were out and about and out of Bur duabi - if possible avoid staying in any hotel in Bur Dubai - there are many good hotels in clean and better areas of Dubai and trsut me it will ruin your experience of dubai staying at this hotel
