One of our room thermostat not working despite 2 hotel attempts. It was freezing cold the whole time. The other room, got king size bed despite reserving twin beds and insisting on it at front desk. Finally after 30 min of wait, they changed the room to twin beds.

Clean but area not inviting
A great hotel with friendly and helpful staff. However, the area was not very pleasant and was quite dirty surrounded by electrical stores and take away shops. The hotel was clean and bed was comfortable with a nice breakfast buffet.

No bells and whistles, budget hotel
Great location and accessibility, but Customer service and food options could be improved. Very few vegetarian options in breakfast spread. In fact their quality of breakfast has gone down since my earlier visit to this hotel in 2017.

Internet very slow. Had to ring if there was a problem.
Organised shuttle to airport in the morning only to be told later it was booked out. They did organise it with a driver an hour later.

I loved the staff, they couldn't have been nicer or more helpful!
I didn't like that we had been promised twin beds, but didn't get them.

Staff very kind when Granddaughter became ill.They provided her with a special fruit plate. So kind.
The only negative comment would be that the shower water could have been warmer.

A gem in the heart of old dubai
Located in the heart of But Dubai/Old Dubai this hotel is a true gem. A bit dated in room decor and conditions of bathroom and other fixtures, otherwise its a pleasant stay. The breakfast on the roof top restaurant has quite a few choices - Asian, indian and European hot and cold items. It also has its own parking for guests if you are bringing a car which is great since it is hard to find parking in this part of the city. Its minutes away from some key landmarks - Abra station to the old souks, bastakhiya and the Dubai museum and palace. Overall a really good experience and a pleasant stay.

Nice Hotel
I requested 2 twin beds at the time of booking and at arrival. I understand its not a guarantee but at least try to accommodate. The receptionists try to ignore you as much as possible. My room was on the 3rd floor and the hallway gets pretty noisy at 12-1AM because of the restaurant. The restaurant closes at 11PM. I never had dinner there but heard the food is decent. The room service is good and price is reasonable. Hotel does offer buffet breakfast, food is so so. My shower was broken. The spray was all over the place. The water pressure and temperature is good. House cleaning did a good job with stacking up 2 free water bottles a day but did not replace towels. There isn't much English channels, maybe 3/4. The hotel has a sewer smell and they try to mask it with something but the smell isn't favorable. And my main complaint was the sounding calls (12AM and 4AM) for prayer from the nearby mosque, plus music playing in the middle of night for hours. Make sure to bring ear plugs. Lastly, the metro station is about a 15 minute walk. This isn't comfortable when the humidity is high and temps are at 106 degrees F. The bell boys and security do not assist with hailing a cab, they tell you to walk to the main street. The hotel does offer free shuttle bus service upon your depart from Dubai to airport but it only runs certain times of the day.
