Awful experience.I stayed in room no 208,, and there was maintenance in the room beside me. It was very noisy., i couldn’t take nap from 5-6 pm after long day because of the noise.
I complained to the receptionist,, but he did nothing :(

Hotel served its purpose for us. We only stayed two nights. Didn’t get to use the pool. Tried the fisherman’s restaurant and room service. It was ok. Convenient to have a coffee shop on site.

Wonderful, convenient hotel in Dubai
Nice, clean hotel. Huge rooms with balcony with nice bathroom. The people at the front desk were very kind. Easy to go around Dubai. Ten minutes walk to the train stations, Malls, Museum of the Future, and more. It is a safe area with a lot of small shopping and restaurants. Tranquil room. Nice pool to chill out. Starbucks in the lobby area.

A clean, convenient. spacious, comfy room.
I stayed in the junior suite and it was really large and comfortable. Great location, good restaurants near by and so close to the mall. Was really happy with the place and would definitely stay there again. I didn't use the pool or go upstairs so can't comment on that. But the room was good for a reasonable price.

It’s for budget travelers, so don’t expect the hotel to be like the near by Kempinski or Sheraton. Staff is always courteous and willing to assist, but the dreadful check in (took so long that I still have nightmare) needs be addressed, otherwise I will not revisit even if it is for free

Lovely staff, very helpful. Spacious and very comfortable rooms. Unfortunately it rained and this prevented the roof pool from opening which we were looking forward to. No one’s fault. Close to mall, metro and local food and shops around.

This is the first time in two years I make a critical comment about a hotel I have stayed in Dubai. The entrance was undergoing works and visitors had to go through a little door on the side leading to a dirty service corridor.
The corridors on the 6th floor where I was staying had pieces of paper and plastic on the carpet.
What was the most disappointing was the breakfast: food such as scrambled eggs and sausages were oily and seemed exposed for too long. The breakfast room was dark and drab. The selection of food for breakfast was small. Coffee was basically ditchwater and one had to pay extra for cappucino and expresso, generally available for free at most 3 or 4 star hotels after paying the breakfast fee.
Bed mattresses were soft and not very ergonomic for the back. The supposed king-sized bed was in fact two beds side-by-side.Half of the machines at the gym were not working and there was no personnel available there to check them out.
The swimming pool was pleasant though...

Terrible
There was very loud bar which kept shaking my room due to beat and loud music.
Informed reception and they said last night was weekend and there wouldn’t be any more noise tonight but every single night was same and couldn’t sleep.
Due to restless nights and not able to sleep, I ended up in hospital where I was given relaxation injection.
Absolute terrible

Regret booking this hotel, it’s no where near a 4 star hotel. Rooms are out dated and old, balcony is locked and can’t be opened. You can hear traffic noises all day and night. I was woken up early everyday because they start playing LOUD jazz music in the hallway speakers at 6:30am every morning. Construction happening in the building so you hear loud drilling and hammering noises all day. Definitely do not recommend and regret picking this hotel.

Poor service
Overall hotel is ok to stay 1 night, cheap hotel, but i was really disappointed that they charged additionally 200 aed deposit (on top of a 1 night stay cost of 190), first they said that it will not be charged, only hold and then immediately released after checkout. But, when checking out next day - i realized that it was a charge and the refund in 7 days min as per receptionist answer...

Very bad experience
One month before my arrival, I sent only 1 request: "Please give me a high floor" (because I read through some other reviews that they were having renovations and it can quite noisy at the lower floors)
Upon my check-in, they gave me the first floor. :(
I asked again to provide me a higher floor. They said they will do it the next day but never did.. even after 5 days.
