I was promised an upgrade through Expedia but the hotel didnt honour this (strike one)
The first room they showed me had a single bed and a toilet with no seat (strike two)
The next room they gave me had a leaky toilet (strike three)
To be fair it is quite clean (but the leaky toilet!!??) but never felt very clean to me perhaps because of the toilet. The breakfasts in the hotel were ok but nothing particularly great. I would recommend making good friends of the reception staff, they can really help you out when it comes to booking drivers and tours etc. The hotel itself is in Sharjah and is some distance from Dubai itself, something to bear in mind if you intend to hang around in Dubai alot. On the plus side, there is lots of local culture to consider. Firstly, the hotel faces Rolla Square and there is a market there on Fridays and plenty of interesting bargains to be had. A short walk away is the Hatta Fort and of course the blue souk. If you really dont mind roughing it for somewhere relatively cheap to stay then this is the place. If not, save up more money and stay in Dubai itself.
