Not clean. The toilet was covered in human dirt. There was a door in our room that connected our room to the next room (519&518). They were smoking all the time and irritated us because of the tobacco smell and contamination penetrating through that door. Staff didn’t confront them.

It was not a clean hotel and looked completely different from the pictures. Our first room was awful, and they had to change it. However, the staff and workers were very nice and kind, which was the only good part of our stay. Tge area of hotel was so bad and not good for stay. Busy- dirty.

Good Place to Stay

I chose this as this was 4 star and it was near to Metro station. I had no complaints. I booked online and it was cheaper. I got a room on the upper floor so there was no such noise from the cafe downstairs.

Need renovation & pest control

I’ll start by saying that if I had a refundable reservation I would have left the 2nd night! The rooms are in desperate need for renovation, not sure if the furniture is old or they are trying to pull off a classic style, but for sure their showers, tubs, seats, flush & shower curtains need to be changed. Stayed 2 nights in the first room: Shower handle broken, can’t use the tub to relax as the water holder doesn’t work, remote control not working. I asked them to change the room after the first night they said they dnt have availability & that they will fix the problems. They changed the remote, it still ddnt work, the 3rd day I stopped having hot water. It is when I insisted to change the room and if they dnt have availability they can give me my money & I can go somewhere else. Room 2 I stayed 7 nights: Better than first room but still the bathroom needs renovation. To note that in both rooms I had cockroaches! & when I complained abt that they said they sprayed but can’t do anything more... several times I had to go back down to reactivate my key card. Not sure how they are operating a 4 stars hotel. Food not bad, though they dnt have diet cola only regular lol. Location is in older part of Dubai. Parking is available Supermarket around the corner Have a gym and pool but I Ddnt use. The staff tried to help & are friendly, but that’s not enough to run a hotel
