Just OK
The hotel has a good location, it is close enough to the historical places in Dubai, including Dubai museum. However since there are many other excellent hotels (though these are a bit more expensive) in Dubai, unless I would like to stay long around these historical area, I would prefer to stay more luxury hotels, for examples, at near Dubai mall.

Generally very good
Loved the location in Old Dubai near the Creek and Soukhs. I had to wait to be able to check in as they were full and they did try to give me a twin room (which I refused to accept) - when I got it, I had a lovely room facing the Museum. Hotel restaurants were reasonable though I did send back a burger at the pool. Generally all were friendly and the shuttle to the beach was a bonus. I will go back there.

Wonderful hotel
Stayed for four nights and have no complaints at all. Staff friendly, room always kept clean, food in the various restaurants attached to the hotel perfect. A major plus is its situation being in the old city so close to the creek, souks with a Metro station approx. 10 mins. walk for the trips to the malls etc. in the 'new' Dubai.

Great Location
I could not have projected that this location would have been so ideal for me. We were in Old Dubai, walking and water taxi distance from The Spice Market and Gold Market. This hotel was located in the commercial garment district, which was heaven for me. Room was great. We were on the Executive level, with access to the Executive Suite for Breakfast, free wi-fi and happy hour every night. Our room was very clean. The bed was just a little firm for me, most travelers would not complain. One itsy bitsy issue with the shower water, it needed a regulator. Water temp was inconsistent. Staff was very friendly and helpful. For the services provided, this was an excellent value and would stay here again.

Third visit to the hotel and d
Third visit to the hotel and disappointed to find that the internet facilities were no longer free. Also there was now a charge if you wanted pancakes or waffles for breakfast, which the kidz had looked forward to. Other than that, the hotel and its staff are accommodating and friendly and would recommend it to everyone.

From the moment we booked in until
From the moment we booked in until the moment we booked out, we were treated like Royalty. There are many newer hotels in Dubai, but the maintenance on this facility has been 1st class and the inclusions appear to have been kept up to date. The young lady in charge of the tours desk could not have been more helpful. Within easy walking distance of Dubai Creek and the main commercial centre. We will not hesitate in returning there.
