“Avoid if you don't want to ruin your experience of Dubai”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 April 2011

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

Room Tip: Not reccommended if you want a relaxing stay

“OK for a budget hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2010
1
person found this review helpful

Old hotel but still the hotel personnel was superb- helpful and friendly. Service provided was good. For a budget hotel its OK especially if you not going to spend too much time in the hotel. There are some very good restaurants in the neighbourhood like Buhari and Udipi. Good nightlife and safe. The environment near the hotel is also very lively. The only negative point is that it is an old hotel and the restaurants are very small.

“Just Okay”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 July 2008
2
people found this review helpful

- Good for someone who is not looking to spend much time in hotel room.
- Hotel having nightclub groundfloor, but it didnt disturb us from having a quiet time.
- Breakfast good, had eggs fruits juice tea etc. Asked for a towel but had to personally go and fetch one. clean toilet (picture, lol).
- Presence of a mosque 10 metres away, thus prayers starting at 5am, quite disturbing if you dont like to be awake so early in the morning.
- Carrefour is on the other side of the road.
- Bus station in front of hotel.

Paid :
470 AED for 3 nights.
44 AED - Airport to Hotel, 14mins away
40 AED Hotel to Deira City Centre
Less than 15 AED Hotel to Gold souk
50 AED hotel charged us to drop us at airport.
