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.

the location of this hotel is just out of this world! Our room was such a great hight that the view was not to be forgotten!
- 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.

I stayed here for 3 nights at the end of May 2007 and it was great...Located walking distance to Dubai creek with taxi's on your doorstep as well as a Bus terminal.
Staff were exceptionally helpful helping me organise my trips down to wild wadi water park and also a desert dune bashing arvo/evening, as well as giving directions - even to the point of walking me 1/2 way there !
Brekky was basic, omlettes, tomatoes, toast, juice, tea/coffee but it filled me up and it was included in the price..
A great cheaper option!!!!

Great staff – arrived at 8am, they let us check in early to a deluxe room when we had only booked a standard, we were expecting to move later that day but we ended up staying all 3 nights in a deluxe room with no extra charge.
The buffet breakfast is what others have described, toast, one type of spread, one type of cereal and fruits. The rest is mostly Indian and middle eastern food but its fine for a light breakfast – especially as its free with the room.
As also mentioned before, there is a nightclub on level one and we could hardly hear it on level three – I would still suggest you ask to be put on level 3 or higher though just incase.
The only downside to staying here was being right outside a mosque, so 5 times a day you are greeted by loud prayers coming out of several megaphones on top of the mosque for about 20minutes. The only time its really disturbing is the one that wakes you up at 5am!
We found the staff to be very helpful, and overall this is a good cheap hotel for travelers on a budget.
