The other reviewers have it pretty much correct. This is a tired old hotel with little or no attention paid to maintenance.

I travel A LOT so I'm very flexible. Just need a clean bed and bathroom. Both were clean, but the bathroom has one of those "shower pads" which is only enclosed by the shower curtain. That means the whole floor ends up a wet mess. Won't be coming back.

It is, however, a full studio "apartment" so my room had a kitchen with stove, washing machine, toaster, etc. (although couldn't imagine an extended stay here)

We stayed there for one night during our flight overstop! We never saw such a thing, so much dirty, bedbugs, whatever you can imagine, we changed room and it was worse than the first one! I really can´t think of anything positive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!The bathroom, the kitchen, the floor, the bed even the walls and the staff was dirty!!!!

We stayed for 1 night and were very happy to check out in the morning again. The hotel room was pretty dirty actually, shower containing the hairs of the preceding visitor and a shower curtain that looked like a bio hazard to us, carpeting on the floor that clearly hadn't been cleaned in a very long time. Besides that only one towel for 2 people and the airco was just plain loud. Even if you manage to get a deal, don't bother; i would consider 20 euros for 1 night to be overpriced already considering (we paid a little over 50). Must be a lot better places in Dubai to stay than this one.

The hotel was in a tourist area where there were several other big hotels although to me the area looked dusty and barren. We arrived early so rooms were not cleaned and ready until later in the day. Normally this wouldn’t be a problem but after a long flight and with the prospects of having to go back out into the heat it wasn’t something I was too happy about. As it happened a room did become available and we did get in early thanks for the really friendly and happy Philippino receptionist. The room was perfectly fine but seemed a bit dark at first because of all the block out curtains to keep the relentless sun. The room wasn’t overly large but there was a kitchenette which was useful for a linger stay. What was odd was the smell, it smelt to me like the air conditioning vents needed to be cleaned and were expelling a really damp dusty odor which seeped into your clothes.

There was a swimming pool on the roof which was nice but bizarrely when I went to take a pic the pool attendant freaked out and told me to stop and that it was forbidden to take pictures.

Reception area is small with a few seats scattered around but not enough for more than 6 people. Most cabs knew the hotel and I took a cab tour with a driver right outside that was really cheap and actually a lot of fun. I also did the one day jeep safari which is a must. It was fantastic.
