I was stuck in Dubai for an extra week and I was, at the time, staying at Golden Sands #3 during my trip. I negotiated heavily with the staff at Golden Sands - they couldn't extend my accomodation and were horribly unhelpful and disorganized. So, I walked over to Broadway Hotel with my gear. Voila! Perfectly cleaned rooms, albeit smaller, but equipped with a washer dryer combo, kitchen with sink, fridge, a comfortable Queen bed (so much cleaner and sanitized vs Golden Sands), a safe, satellite TV and what IMPECCABLE service for the same price as Golden Sands. The room service food / snacks were also so much better in presentation and freshness quality, and there was a rooftop swimming pool and sauna. The hotel was small, and the demographic of guests reflected the difference in atmosphere. A mix of business travellers, tourists, and young Arab families from the region. The breakfast area was located in the lobby and was odd because it was shared with the front desk area, but it didn't matter. If I knew about this place earlier, I would have stayed at Broadway right from the beginning. The hotel location was incredibly quiet considering how close it was to the main road and it was situated a brisk walk from a local convenience store. Taxis were available 24/7 at the doorstep, and the hotel staff were so well mannered. FAR better than my Golden Sands experience!!! I wish I took pictures. I'll save it for the next time I'm staying there in Dubai.
